Ty Cobb Says

"The most effective pitching in the game
is the kind that carries control Of a low
ball. A pitcher with only ordinary stuff
who has low-ball control is almost sure
to he effective. This is the chief feature
of Alexander's success. He can put that
fast one around the knees over the in
side or outside corner better than any
man in the game. and with the stuff he
has 1t is almost impossible to hit him
safely. A spit-baller who can break his
curve well below the waist Is next to un-
hittable."

Another Record

Reference to Cobb brings to mind an
other record this estimable young athlete
has set-for Ty Is still shy his 10Th year.
In 1911 while he batted 420 and scored
14S runs, he drew but 81 passes. This
season, with over 60 games left to play,
he has already arrived at first over 22O
tlmes-which accounts for his remark
able record in runs and steals.
For while he drew but 81 passes in 1911,
1915 finds him with 70 free trips to first,
and the campaign only three-fifths over
In addition to his arrivals at first by
base hits and bases on balls. he has also
landed there 80 times via the error route.
This makes total of 23O arrivals at
first base before August BY October he
expects to have pattered down to first at
least 400 times-a record never approached
in the 50-year history OF the sport. For
this will mean arriving safely at first
base over twice a game for run of l54
contests.
