Jones Places Ruth Ahead of Cobb.

Fielder Jones, among others, holds that Babe Ruth, the Red Sox pitcher, is the most formidable batsnan in baseball. The leader of the Browns takes full cognizance of the well known prowess of Tyrus Cobb, but he insists that Ruth is more dangerous and harder hitter and that if his ef- forts were confined to outfelding and hitting he would prove one of the greatest batsuen in the history of the game.
 We will venture that the Dodgers will back up Jones in that contention,

The Der liner Tageblatt (LiberaD, said:
