TY COBB MAKES
GREAT RECORD
Figures For Ten Seasons Show
His Worth to Detroit.
STANDS OUT ABOVE OTHERS

peerless one Has 6atted 500 In ls&59
Games and Registered 1,729 Hits, s75
Runs and 495 Stolen Bases - Was
Nervous Player at Start.
The complete record of Ty Cobb's
ten years in major league baseball is
u clear index of the wonderful ability
of this diamond star. Cobb joined the
Detroit club on Aug 2G, 1905, and dur
ing the decade in which he has played
for the Tigers has rolled up n grand
batting average of 1853 in 1,239 games.
In this period Cobb went to bat 4,685
times, making 1,729 hits and S75 runs.
He has 400 stolen bases to his credit,
an average of forty-eight and frac-
ton year.
Cobbs anxiety to make good nearly
caused him to be sent back to the
minors. The Georgian Joined the I'll
gers in the fall of 1905. He was pur-
chased for S7OO and came into the big
leagues unheralded.
Cobb got his tryout in 1905. He was
overanxious. He did what the ma
jority of rockies" do-swung at nearly
everything that came his way. In the
field he showed up only ordinarily well.
But Ty had the pep and he looked
promising. The Tiger management de-
cided TO give him another chance in
1906 despite the fact that he had bat
ted only around 240.
In the spring of 1906 Ty showed up a
little better, but nervousness and anX-
iety were his enemies. He desired to
hold down u regular job, to prove that
he was n ball player, and SO in the
early part of the season he performed
with only ordinary results.
Just about that time the New York
Americans and the Tigers were in
volved in trade negotiations. The Yam
KEGS desired Cobb and were willing to
give Delehanty, then in the heyday of
his career, in exchange. The Tigers
balked-they wanted a pitcher in addi-
tiOn-and the deal fell through.
Ty then was told that he had a regu.
lar job in the Tiger outfield. Right
then and there he settled down. His
nervousness left him, oyeranXiety no
longer afflicted him. He began playing
ball, unworried and unafraid. Today
he stands head and shoulders over his
rivals.
