Despite the fact that Cobb IS IN
his eighteen year as big Lacquer
he is etlll one of the really great
stars OF the game. True, he has
slowed up a bit on HIS feet, but MS
brain is as alert as ever. In consid-
ering Cobb"s value TO the Detroit
club his position as manager must
also be given consideration. HIS
duties are two-fold.
The presence of Cobb in the line
up. and the influence he exerts on
Detroit's play, was shown in the
spring. With Cobb out OF the line
up the Tigers were just an ordinary
club.
The fine showing OF the Tigers
has been generally credited to the
excellent work of the recruit pitch
ers.
That is unquestionably true, yet it
must be remembered that Catcher
Johnny Bassler is the chap who d.
rects the work of the recruit twirl-
ers.
Some idea OF Bassler's great value
to the Detroit club can be gained
from the frank admission OF Pitcher
Pnette. In a recent game with New
York Pilette stood the Yankees on
their heads. He seemed TO have the
hard hitting New York aggregation
constantly crossed up. After the
game someone complimented him on
his fine work and he remarked:
Johnny Bassler deserved the
credit, he really pitched that game.
/ pitched where and what he desired.
I would have slipped up many
lime had I used my own judgment"
Evening journal., 1922-08-05

all the nice things that had been
said about him. That injury has
rather spoiled his chances for a big
year.
Pilette looked Just $3.50 on the
spring trip and was pressed into
service. Largely because the Tigers
were shy on pitching material in
the early spring
Pllette proceeded to do all the
things the critics said Johnson
would. For the first three months
of the season he was the ace of the
Tigers pitching staff.

Who is the most valuable player
on the Detroit Club7
Without any hesitation most of
the fans would reply Tyrus Ray
mond Cobb.
Unquestlonably Cobb is the great
est ball player OF all time. Yet there
is question IL Cobb has been OF
greater value to the Detroit club this
year that several youngsters on the
pay roll.
Recently while the Tigers were
cleaning up on the eastern clubs,
Connie Mack was asked to what one
thing he attributed the fine showing
of the Detroit club.
"The work OF Shortstop Rigney
has made the Tigers a factor in the
race" said Mack.
"Rigney has filled the weak spot
in the defensive play OF the Tigers"
continued Mack. "All infield defen-
sive play revolves around the short
stop. Rigney has played like a vet
eran and is improving each day"
A year ago Il. Rigney was an un-
known in the Texas League. Today
he Is the main cog in the Detroit
infield. The man who made the
Tigers, according TO Connie Mack.
