TY COBB is STILL
OLD SPEED MARVEL
Tales of Weakened Legs and Lost
Nerves Are Fakes.

NEW YORK, Oct. Sly Cobb, the
scintillating star OF the Tigers, has not
gone back.
Rumors that Cobb is realizing he is
growing old and is refusing to do his
best to beat out inheld hits as he did
formerly have been exploded. The
Georgia Peach still Is the worlds great
est ball player and from all indica tions
he IL going to remain active next year
with that distinction.
Cobb hasn't led the American League
this year In batting-his first failure In
ten years-but he has turned In an aver
age OF more than 800 which Is pretty
fair for a PLAYER who is going back as
some critics have mournfully announced.
A short time ago a doleful tale came
out OF ruined pair OF legs and a falter-
ing nervous system attached to the won
derful outfielder 1t declared that Ty
would he tear down the nrst base line
at top speed to beat out infield hits.
But figures tell another story Cobb
has actually beaten out more infeld hits
this season than ever. and he has made
a great fight to beat iris Seaker out OF
the league leadership In hitting.
In addition to these feats Cobb by his
individual efforts, has kept the Detroit
club up In the race with the Red Sox.
Several games would have gone In the
lost column for the Tigers, and they
would have been out OF II long ago II
II hadn't been for Cobb.
In one game the Georgian singled and
when the fielders were a little careless
he scored all they way from first on a

| one
Upon several occasions the flash has
stolen second. third and home, and put
his team In q position to win.
Cobb's fielding has been Just as good
az ever. He has pulled Just as many
| impossible plays, His base running has
| been just as sensa ti9nal, and even IL hi
didn't lead the leagues hitters he hal
