Ruth. Cobb
Arrive
For Match
BY EDGAR HAYES

When Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb
were the reigning heroes of the
baseball world in the roaring
twenties," the arguments of their
partisans went like this:
Ruth hits them farther than
Cobb"
"Sure. but Cobb hits singles
and doubles, and hits them
oftener."
Now the two veterans of base
ball are foes on the links and the
discussion continues along a SIM
liar vein:
Ruth hits them farther off
the tees"
"Sure, but Cobb il more accu-
rate and efficient around the
green's"
And thus il goes. with the an
Swer never TO be found, but the
fun of debate continuing as long
as each has a supporter left.
Ruth and Cobb arrived today
and will clash at Crosse lie. ir
the third and deciding match oil
their series. Cobb defeated Ruth
first, 3 and 2. and then dropped
a | up decision after taking the
Bambino to the ninteenth hole.
