Base Balls Greatest
PLAYERS Said To Be
Ty Cobb and Wagner
Down to Two Names

The argument as to the Worlds
Greatest Ball Player for the length
of a career gets down Immediately
to two names. One is John Peter
Wagner. The other is Tyrus Raymond
Cobb.
Wagner represents the National
League in this debate; Cobb the
American. And you can find all the
statistics you want to back up the
claims advanced by partisans of both
stars.
Wagnerian Claims
Here are some of the claims en-
tered by those who support Wagner
/. Is the greatest shortstop base
ball has ever known in defensive play.
2. Has batted 300 or better for
seventeen out of nineteen years, with
a good start on his twentieth cam
paign to make it eighteen years.
8. Has led his league at bat eight
years.
4. Has a twenty-year batting
average around $40.
s. At forty-two is still great
shortstop, with batting average
above 800.
6. Has made more hits and scored
more runs than any player in the
game.
Cobb Statistics
Here are counter claims made by
those who support Cobb in the big
debate
/. Has broken all records by lead
ing his league nine years in success
sion at bat.
2. Holds the record of the game
for runs and hits made in one season.
8. Holds the league record for
stolen bases.
A. Has broken up more games, on
the average, than any player who
ever lived.
5. Has complete batting average
of $40, against Wagner's mark OF
$40.
6. Has a greater yearly average
of hits, runs and stolen bases than
any player in the records Of the
game.
You can take these two claims and
after thoroughly sitting them up can
let the big debate begin.-Grantland
Rice in New York Tribune.

Local Officers Believe That Their
Efforts in Waking up Congress-
men Has Not Been
Wasted.
WROTE MANY LETTERS
Major HamiII, F. c. overton and
Wells M. Irwin, Were lnstru-
mental In This
Work.

Although the Keokuk branch Of the
National Security league was not CIV
en- as much support from the citizens
as its officers felt might have been
given, It did not deter the officers
from using all of their power with
the Iowa congressman to secure leg1s-
lation looking to the national defense.
The results as shown In the enact
ments of congress are pleasing to
the local Security league members.
1--WE feel that we had something to
do with this change Of sentiment of
the president, and In getting all
these appropriations for our defense
from congress-" one of the members
said today. while perhaps we didn't
get as much support as we should
have had locally, we still feel pretty
good over the situation generally. l
think it was the Security league or
CARNATIONS and the Navy league, the
latter more in the east, that did the
work of swinging sentiment around to
a better defense for America"
In Keokuk, the Security league
president was Major D. B. Hamill, the
secretary was F. C. Overton and
Wells M. Irwin was chairman Of the
executive committee. The secretary
wrote to the two Iowa senators, A.
B. Cummins and w. s. Kenyon, and
to the Iowa delegation in congress,
urging their support for measures
urged by the league. The chairman
of the executive committee wrote let
tiers to the congressman and did every
thing possible to bring to the atten-
ton of the representatives in con-
gress the fact that the people Of this
section were for preparedness.
Major Hamill gave unsparingly OF
his strength and did everything he
could to further the Security league
cause in Keokuk He found hearty
cooperation in the secretary and the
chairman of the executive committee,
and the league officers and members
feel that they have accomplish ed
something. and are going to work
still further.
