tho New York Giants, paid Cobb a
real compliment by saying:
"Cobb Is one of tho greatest
players ,the game has ever pro
duced. The secret of his success Is
in doing the unexpected. Ho Is al
ways on the offensive, doing (kings
that will test the mental of other
players.”
Cobb for years has enjoyed the
honor of being the most versatile
player in baseball—n player cap
able of doing everylhing as near
perfect ns it Is possible for a mi
man being to perform.
When Father Time began to
make Inroads on Cobb, there flash
ed or the horizon another brilliant
star—George Sisler.
Slsler came direct-to tho Amor
lean League from the University
of Michigan. In a few months he
had proved that he was a great
southpaw pitcher. Incidentally, he

Ceorgla sprung tho surprise of
Hie season by defeating the At
lanta Athletic Club Saturday night
In Atlanta by a 2 point margin.
Morc&r lost to the A. A. C. a
couple of weeks ago by ono point,
so. according to tho score card,
Georgia is three points bettor
than the locals. However, the At
lanta sport writers hinted cf un
fair referee decisions in favor of
the Atlanta team, so it remains
to bo seen Friday' and Saturday
night just which is best. Now, it
scorns a mere flip of tho coin.
Georgia was slow In' getting

find that Georgia bad "conquired
