Johnson Is Easy.

m HOUGH COBB faced Walter
Johnson when the great Kan
- san was at his best, the Geor-
gian has found him an easy oppon-
ent to hit, as the average of 1852 at
tests over a stretch of seventy
games. Cobb has cracked johnson
for eighty-nine hits, including
twelve doubles, four triples and one
home run. Today Cobb shows few
signs of batting weakness. The
once great Walter Johnson is hav-
ing a hard time to start away on
his sixteenth season. Cobb was in
the league two years before Wash
ington ever glimpsed the big kid
from Weiser, Idaho.
Every fan will admit that Rube
Waddell, Eddie Plank and Doc
White were classy southpaws.
Therefore, it is all the more re-
markable to note Cobb hammering
Waddell for 1856 in twenty two
games, Plank for $40 in fifty-two
games and Whites elusive bepders
for 1876 in forty-six games.

For instance, Elias has the work

famous American League pitchers.
It's worth much time and thought.

league he has measured wits, eye,

games Cobb drove out twenty-seven
hits, including nine doubles and two
triples, for an average Of .39l.
Wood must have been overjoyed
every time Ty strobe to the pan.
The great Cy Young, first no-hit
no-run, no-man-reach-first-b e
performer in the American League,
faced the Georgian in twenty-five
games and Ty belted him for an
average Of .367. Cobb collected five
triples, five doubles, and twenty
six singles while batting against
Young. -
The Grand Total.
TN 249 games against nine leaq
ing right-handers Of his day
= Cobb collected an average Of
.359. while against the six south
paws his mark was 1881.
Oh, yes, Ty has done other
marvellous things at bat. Seven
times he has made five hits in
one game. picking on Rubc Wick
ers, Doc White, Charlie Brown,
Bob Shawkey. Harry Harper, Dave
Danforth and a combination OF
Jack Quinn, Bob Shawkey. Ernie
Shore and Herb Thormahlen, all
of whom were toiling for the
Yankees. In those seven games
his average was .S57, making
thirty-five hits in thirty nine
times at bat.
You have seen what Ty has
done against Walter johnson in
seventeen years. Well. he has
delighted in turning tricks against
the Washington club ever since
he broke into fast company. His
first really big day, when he got
two singles and a double for a
perfect mark. was on Sepr. %.
1905. against Jack Townsend. OF
the old Washington club. Ty
also scored two runs and stole
one base that day.
Cobb's first home run came the
day before off Fred Falkenberg.
On June 7. 1906, Ty hammered
Case Patten for two singles, a
double and triple in four times
UP.
Ty made a Joke out Of poor
old Jack Warner when he swiped
three sacks on him on July 1S,
1907. He rubbed it in on Oct.
2 that same season by stealing
four bases against Block and
Warner.
Boys. yod are fortunate in hav-
ing seen Cobb play ball. for he
is undoubtedly the greatest plav-
er ever in action IN any league
anywhere.
