THE SPORTZIGHT
Ty Cobb, Healthy and Wealthy at so,
Finds independence Big Joy of Life.
BY GRANTLAND RICE,

Ty Cobb comes close to being the
greatest competitor that sport ever
knew
I'll give you one example.
Years ago I dropped by his hotel
to say hello when the Tigers
were playing the Yankees. Cobb
that morning had a temperature
Of 102, due largely to heavy
cold.
His two legs were mass Of raw
flesh and adhesive tape. You needed
a strong stomach to look at them.
Yet Cobb was on the field that after
noon with three hits and two stolen
bases, and he had to hit the dirt on
those almost skinless thighs.
Cobb has been called ruthless. He
was-when a ball game hung in the
balance mo one will believe me-" he
said, but I never went an inch out
of the way to cut down a man with
my spikes. And I'd cut the heart out
of my best friend if he ever tried to
block the road. When the right of
way belonged to me, I took it
spikes first"

Another Time.

As A competitor. there was smother
occasion. Ray Chapman of
Cleveland had just been killed by Carl
Maya fast ball mailing Chapman's
temple. Cobb had been quoted as
backing up Mays. Cobb had given no
interview of any sort. The next day
he was booed and hissed by $4,000
Yankee fans. Cobb, being guiltless.
was bitter. Were you ever booed by
$4,000 people for no reason" he asked.
He came into that game bitter and
sullen.
Most ball players would have
quit cold under this unfair bar
rage. All that Cobb did was to
get four hits-steal three bases
and score three runs to win the
ball game.
That was Ty Cobb.
Cobb was the first man to score
from second on an outfield fly. He
was the first man I ever saw to score
from first on a single. His main idea
was to break down the defensive
morale of the opposing team. No other
ball player ever did as much damage
along these lines. Make them think
you are crazy" he told me once.
Don't let them ever know what your
next move might be. Keep crossing
them up." il.
Was Cobb the greatest ball player
of all .time-even including Babe
Ruth?
Well-he made more base hits-he
stole more bases-he scored more runs,
by a wide margin, than any other ball
player since Abner Doubleday had his
fancy dream.
What were his main assets? Speed
ruggedness - boldness - daring-but,
above all, a magnificent competitive
nature and one of the smartest brains
any sport ever has seen In action.
And today the squire of Menlo
Park is doing all right. He is hang

"I've just found out" he told
me, "what life means. That's

That's a much better job than being

the one job most of us would Like to

How They Look.

HERE are two teams that are just
about evenly matched from flank
to flank.
Both have powerful defensive lines,
plus competent strength at the ends.
This means that ball carriers, even
such stars as Golberg, Larue, Cain and
Haines, will have their full share of
trouble Juggling the big brown melon
for any extended gains. As ball car
rier, still pick Goldberg as the best
man on the field, but there will be lit
tie wild galloping against so much de-
fensive strength.
The same goes for the husky running
attack against Daddio, Hoffman,
Daniel and Matisi. two fine ends and
two fine tackles. The loss of Al Cruver.
Washingtons big fullback, won't help
the Huskies at all. But even with
Cruver missing from the cast, Phelan
