Cobb's Speed HelDs.

Much of Cobb's success has been predicated wholly upon speed The Jewel of Georgia probably gets more infeld hits-and causes more trouble with mfeld hits-than any player in baseball The infeld plays in. hurries its throws as per- force it must if he is to be nabbed, and the strain of knowing that they must hurry actuates more wild heaves in the attempt to nab The Peach than anything else.
 Then. on plain hitting, Cobbs speed is of immense value for the reason that he pulls an infeld in ten feet from their normal positions. and. consequently the ground they can cover to the right or left is diminished. A fast hit. which an nfelder playing back might have handled. goes by untouched be- cause it can't be reached with the infeld playing i'm. The arc he can cover is limited by comparison with that which he usually covers
 This may look like a little thing. in reality it is a big thing. It gives Cobb and fast players like him many ponts on their hitting average in the course of a season they would not get otherwise.

sallee Admits Jinx.

Slim sallee, being southpaw, is more expectations than the average ball player. His fondest delirmm is the one about the catcher that warns him up. He will never warm up before the game with any other catcher than the one catching the whole game. Also if 1t happens through the game that the regular catcher is not ready and another steps up to catch few till the inning begins. Slim will toss the ball with the frat or third baseman rather than the sub catcher. He ad- mits his jinx and doesn't care to trihe with it.
