BY FREDERICK G. LIEB. HE super-player of all time is Tyrus Raymond Cobb. A Ruth may come up for a few seasons and temporarily thrust Cobb into a sec- ondary position by the mere brute strength behind his thrusts, | yet when all the returns are in Cobb is the greateit player of this era or any other. : The amazing thing about this versatile performer of the emerald | diamond is that at the age of thirty-six he continues to get more effec- tive. He is giving Father Time a terrific argument. After twelve years in the major leagues, Cobb had a lifetime batting average of .369, a mar- veious higure. 4 Speaker nosed out Cobb for the Ame n League batting leadership in 1910. and it was believed that the mighty Tyrus had reached his crest and would begin to slip back to the level of his fellows. aver's lifetime = OUTFIELDED JOE .0061 ntributor bobx up with the ng average had four points higher than pparently he was the prime.
