been playing with the Detroits since
1905. the only year In which his bat
ting average was less than 400. The
Georgia Peach has been the champ
Ion batsman Of the American league
Mt the end of each campaign since
1907, excepting 1915. when iris
Speaker had better average. Cobb.'s
greatest hitting record was .42o, be-
ing hung up In 1911. List year
he batted ,3s3 and never played
m ore brilliantly. In spite of ndvanc-
ing years, Cobb is still In his prime.
He is justly considered the greatest
baseball player In the history of the
game. and his $4,000 salary is well
earned. He has been drawing this
princeiy wage from the Detroit club
since 1914. He is perhaps the great
est drawing card In the entire game.
