By DEAN SNYDER.

a1|Ta'. ~ S-SNsS StS v.
They've called Ty Cobb the
Georgia Peach for the last Is years,
but at this point in the drama en-
ters Peachy George.
It now remains for the world to
start calling the Brown star-THE
GREAT GEORGE SISLER.
This tribute Is certainly due the
superb st. Louis first baseman
Pushed by one OF the hardest
hitting fields in the history Of the
game, Sisler Is climbing higher into
the hall Of baseball fame each
week.
During the last four years Of II.
Cobbs reign in the Johnson family
OF swatte4s, the Brown first base
man has been approaching great
ness.
This year with the Georgian
Peach IN the background. due part
ly to q getaway slump and later to
accident, Sister has occupied the
batting throne.
His bat has clicked through the
first half Of the 1920 American
league season at a AT pace.
Each week he is being forced to
extend his powers. For looming
back Of him is a wonderful trio
OF rivals-Joe Jackson iris Speak
er and the rampagirg Babe Ruth.
As is the general rule with all
ball players, their fielding in.
proves along with their hitting. A
new confidence is born in a player,
when be is connecting. regularly.
He takes bigger chances. The
crowd psychology boosts him and
the breaks go with him.
Fleet.Foot.
Like Cobb, Sisley Is o reet.foos,
There aren't any faster runners
in the big leagues than George.
The slightest hesitation on the
part OF q fielder in handling a bali
of Sisters bat and that ball goes
for a base hit.
His sensational fielding at first
has revived the same kind of thrills
that Hal Chase used to give the
customers. He works over head
with quite as much grace as when
handling the low throws.
Sisler Is a college product, hav-
ing filtered through the university
halls at Ann Arlor, Mich. He is
just in the prime Of his career,
being q years old.
What Is Ahead.
Whether he can maintain the
terrific batting pace he has sci
during the first half Of the season
is an open bit OF speculation with
the odds In his favor.
Cobb has turned in two full sea.
sons with averages Of .420 and
40, respectively, in 1911 and 1917.
1t is a high mark to shoot at but
all the boys are touching up the
ball this season.
With Cobb back in the game It
will be interesting to see If he can
overtake Sisler and the other three
members Of the select quartet Of
swats. He'll have to travel some.
But Tyrus is that kind Of g
peach.
