there has been considerable discussion
as to whether or not Cobb really did hit
400 because of a questionable hit.
That argument has been closed by
President Johnson of the American
League who has announced that the
disputed hit has been allowed.
The final averages of the American
League as published had Cobb at bat
527 times and making 21l hits for an
average Of 400.
A few weeks later the official statis-
tician noted that there was difference
between his records and the unofficial
averages. His records gave Cobb only
21O hits, bringing his average just be-
low the priced mark, or 1893.
A careful survey of the averages
showed that in a certain game, played
at New York in May, the news bureaus
credited Cobb with two hits while the
official score sheet gave him only. one.

Follow official Scorer.

Follow Official Scorer.
It's a rule OF all news bureaus that
the official score sheet shall be followed
in sending out the results. In this
game Cobb hit a ball over second that
Scott got in front Of but was unable to
get his man at first.
At first the official scorer ruled it a
hit, but later changed his mind and
credited Scott with an error.
An investigation shows that a dozen
experts were in the New York press box
that day and eleven of them gave Cobb
a hit on the play. among them being
Fred Lieb, president of the Baseball
Writer'S Association.
The preponderance of evidence proved
that Cobb deserved a hit and the dis
puted bingie was allowed. The official
scorer said that he first ruled it hit,
and after thinking it over believed
Scott should have handled the play and
scored it an effor.

the Detroit club added several new rec
ords to his credit.
OF his several notable performances
none pleased Cobb better than his sea-
sons batting average of an even 400.

IS years as an American Lacquer that
Cobb batted 400 or better.

for three consecutive years was broken
