And if some of the old timers wish

ment as to Cobb's supremacy. they can
! proceed a bit farther and study Cobb's
record-an all-arOund record that no
other player Of this or any other age
can approach.
Bill LANCE may have been a better
base runner than Cobb but he wasn't as
good a batter; he had no superiority
over Cobb on the outfield and in fire
and dash, in spectacular, daring plays,
he never approached Cobb
Beats DeIehaEty at Bat
Ed Delehanty probably could out
slug the peerless Georgian-but did Ed
ever lead league in batting for nine
years in row. His best batting mark
W5s .40S: Cobb's best is APO. Delehanty
was slow on the bases: Cobb is a whirl-
wind. The Georgian stole more bases
in 1915 than Delehanty did in a half
dozen or so. And Cobb. as a. fielder. is
just as reliable as was Delehanty-and
he covers far more territory.
Cap" Arson was the demon slugger
Of his day, yet his average clubbing
record for his first nine full years in
major league company is below that Of
Cobb. And. as a base runner. Arson
was a numbering truck in comparison
with the fleet footed southerner-
Jimmy McAleer probably was the
greatest fielding outfielder the game
has produced He had an edge" on
Cobb there-but CObb's record shows
him batting about 100 points above
8IcAleer and it shows him far superior
to McAleer on the bases.
And when you compare batting rec
ords of this day and the past you must
remember that the foul strike rule is a
new one: it's a rule that has handi-
capped Cobb and a rule that did not han
dicap the old timer. If Delehanty and
Arson had been forced to bat with the
foul strike rule force. it's a cinch that
their averages each year would have
been at least 20 points lower.

RESIDENT J. Walter Morris, Of the
u Texas Baseball league, has given
! some facts and figures about the
cost OF FL Paso getting into the Texas
circuit next summer in a letter to the
writer He agrees with the comment
in The Herald that it viii be a tough
load" for the local fans to take over d
franchise without a fat bankrou in
readiness for emergencies and then
gives the following data as 10 cost.
You can figure on a guarantee Of
Sl5 per day and about S1L5O extra fare
per man per trip from Fort Worth to
II Paso, over the cost of a trip to
a basis Of 10 men. about $500 more
per trip TO FL PasO than TO Shreve-
port. Each team would make three
trips per season TO FL PasO and $500
FOR each OF the seven clubs would mean
around $4,000 to be paid for transport
ing TO FL Paso over trip to Shreve-
port
4'This makes quite sum and it is
doubtful if il can be done However,
there IS a chance always in baseball,
that one Of our clubs might blow up
and We might arrange to take in 81
Paso to finish the season and fer a
short season IT would be good busi-
ness both for the league and for FL
Paso fans We might be able TO break
the jump at Amarillo and take in
enough there in exhibition games to
meet the extra expense.
-Of course I do not consider this very
seriously at the present time, but ii
might be done in some manner salts
factory TO everybody concerned, but it
cannot be done right now for all our
clubs are in good financial condition
and would not want to make the jump
unless it becomes necessary.
4 would like to keep in touch with
FL Paso and If the Rio Grande asso-
citation is reorganized you can count
upon myself and the Texas league to
do everything possible to make the cir
cult a success"
It is quite evident from the letter
Of the Texas league president that class
B bail is out Of. the question for FL
Paso in the spring and efforts should
be concentrated, after the holidays, on
making the Rio Grande circuit a big
success.
