HARD TO EXPLAIN

N1 ERFECTION at the bat is well
nigh impossible.
- Most of the hitters / have

they must be classed as great. Yet
even to those batters certain STYLES
Of pitching are poison.

Eddie Collins and Ty Cobb, two of
the smartest as we'll as greatest Of
batters
Left-llanded batters as Il rule do
not like southpaws. This year both
Collins and Cobb will be ON the

has more stuff than any SOUTH

II suppose you two fellows are
glad you won't have to face Lefty
Grove" said Jack Bentley of the
Giants, quite a southpaw himself
Il would rather hit against him
than Tom Zachary" replied Cobb,

Yet Tom Zachary hasn't one-third
the stuff of Grove. Tom works on
