TYRUS RAYMOND COBB WILL
TRY TO REGAIN HIS CROWN

coming stale. but taking chances ha,
long since been child's play for the
Georgian. Cobb IL determined to ro
70 the limit OF his power to regain
the ermine robe of basebalidom.
During the closing days Of 1915 Cohb
might have added few points To his
batting average II he had been willing
to sacrifice the element of team work
But he didn't. When Detroit and Ros-
ton were clinched in the struggle unon
which the pennant hung Cobb tald
newspaper men that Speaker was the
champion hitter. so far a. he was con-
cerned. Cobb had to get hits. and more
hits. to beat out the sturdy Texan.
Cobb buried his ambitions When ne
had chances to get bases on balls he
took them. When the play called for
a hunt he laid ono down. He playsd
the game-not that he cared for his
batting average less. He cared for the
pennant more.
Now and then II has been said that
Cobb went back as a batter last yeaf.
His average was .371. mark that IN
these days Is rarely attained even by
star. The story of Cobb's defeat IL
entirely told In a sentence: Speaker hit
1856. 1t was a battle royal. that strug-
gle between fellow Southerners. Neither
asked for pitching favors: neither got
them.
So the season Of 1917 will have add
ed Significance from the start Cobb
