Cobb Not Greatest Ball Player
© o © © o o ©
“Keeler Superior to Ty”-Suliivan
Bv Tod Sullivan
T HE return of Cobb to the Detroit
club and its continued clump
since he began to wear the team’s
uniform has served one object lesson to
the American public, and that is that
no one player, no matter how great or
skillful, can win games alone. It
takes nine men to win ball in any
fast league. It has bean the case
in the past, anil it will be ever thus
in the future. A pitcher of Walsh
or Johnson's caliber may figure con
spicuously in the winning of a game,
but at that they must have fielding
and run-getting powers in their teams
to make them winners.
But let one thing be impressed on
the public mind—players may come
and go, but the game will go on for
ever Had Cobb not returned to the
Detroit team, the continued losings
of the club would have been laid to
his absence, but it was a great vic
tory and eye-opener both for the De
troit people in all parts of America
that he did return, to show the super
ficial and unsophisticated how little
one man figures In the game, and
especially an outfielder.
To look at Cobb, or Cobbism, from a
dispassionate and Impartial stand
point. let us see what Cobb’s status
is in the game. 1 grant he has the
right to ask for any salary he thinks
his services are worth; he realizes
that he is a drawing card at home
and abroad. He knows the owners
of the club look at him from a com
mercial standpoint, and he views
them in the same light. He knows
also that there is a time limit to his
playing days, and he wants to make
the most of it. The home press and
the unsophisticated press throughout
the United States have been burning
incense to his greatness and telling
him that he is the one ball player in
the history of the game, which he
never was. But as Detroit made him
a drawing card, In their slopology, he
h id i right to make them pay for it.
Which lie has.
Infielder More Important.
Let us see where he figures as a
ball player, compared with the play
ers of the past and present. He is
placing in the outer works of the
game —as a fielder, averaging about
two fly balls to a game, with plenty
of time to think what he will do af
ter catching a fly ball or the ground
er that is bounding toward him. No
outfielder can be compared with an
Infielder or a catcher, as their posi
tions are entirely different in the na
ture of the work they have to per
form An Infielder’s brain is in per
petual action from the time the
pitcher delivers the ball, and he has
only a fraction of a second to think.

so quick does the machinery of the
infield work
Cobb is the best run getter in the
profession to-day. Run getting is the
combination of hitting and base run
ning Base running has ever been the
spectacular part of a hall player’s
work, with all other things -nearly
equal. To sav Cobh was the great
est ball player in the history of the
game would be like telling a man who
saw the Mississippi River that the Il
linois River was the longest and larg
est In the United States, or to tell a
person who saw the summit of Pike's
Peak that the range of the Allegheny
was higher.
1 suppose it will be the same in the
next generation of ball players. They
will be a.s skeptical of the baseball
prowess of Cobb, Wagner and Lajoie,
as the present ones are of the great
ness of Mike Kelly. Ewing and Wil
liamson. As a fielder and thrower
Cobb could not stand comparison with
Fogarty. Curt Welsh. Bill Lange, and
a few others of the past and he is not
to-day the superior as a fielder and
thrower of Graney of Cleveland and
Moeller of Washington.
Thinks Keeler Was Better.
There is a little modest man who
left the ball field two years ago,
namely. William Keeler, who did not
wear sleigh bells abound a hotel to
let people know he was around, but
he was the superior of Cobb, as ver
satile a batter. But to say that Cobb
was the equal of the three great ball
players of the past, namely, Ewing.
Williamson, and Mike Kelly, would
be ridiculous.
Williamson was a third baseman
and a shortstop. He was one of the
greatest base runners in the history
of the game. Besides being one of
the greatest infielders that ever lived,
he was also a catcher and a pitcher.
Buck Ewing was undoubtedly the
greatest throwing, hitting and base
running catcher of them all. But
to compare Cobb, the outfielder, to
the immortal Kelly, who was the
craftiest base runner of all times, be
sides being one of the best batters
and catchers that ever lived, would
be like comparing a 2:40 horse to a
2:10 one.
To use a hyperbole, it could be
said that Mike Kelly behind the bat
and on the ba«es in the crucial con
test of a game sweat more baseball
cells into the rim of his cap than
some players of to-day have in their
skulls
If Ty Cobb is guilty of the alleged
prima-donna breaks in wanting ex
tra hotels and extra rooms from other
players and practicing when he wants
to—no one is to blame hut the De
troit management themselves They
have petted and coddled him as much
as an indulgent mother does to a
child she has spoiled.

One of these days the Brooklyn

away from home and invade the

'HE Boston club is the one which
N EW YORK, May 20. I have decided to give much space in this article to the fast-
going Phillies and Dodgers. The Phillies merit considerable analysis. When the
Giants played them recently, I never saw a Philadelphia team playing better, and,
as there has always been plenty of feeling between the two clubs, they were very glad to
clean up on New York as they did. The team is benefiting from much Itetter conditions
tiiis season than have existed in Philadelphia for many years, and these are mainly re
sponsible for the marked improvement, as it will lie noted that practically the same men
are appearing in the batting order that landed the team in the second division last summer. William Locks,
tlie new president of the club, is si practical baseball man, and he is giving Dooin a chance to manage the team
without worrying him with a lot of trivialities. The result is that Dooin is getting good baseball out of bis men,
the best that is in each individual.
Again the Quakers have advanced
so far into the season without any of
the regulars suffering serious injuries
and being out of the game, almost
a record for the club. It is not likely
the team will go through the race
with this rosy record, and an injured
regular or two will slow the club up
a good deal because Dooin is not well
fortified with substitutes.
• * •
'T'HE real strength of the team lies
in the excellent pitching staff
whicli is the unexcelled feature of
the league at this writing. When
either Alexander. Chalmers or Sea
ton has been working, it has been
practically impossible for an oppos
ing club to do any hitting. It is this
great pitching which has permitted
the Phillies to make the good show
ing that they have, because they are
not a crowd of hard batters them
selves. They win their games by
small scores, depending on the pitch
ers and . smooth fielding to prevent
the other side from rolling up many
runs. Now, when this pitching staff
begins to wilt under the strain of
the race and the heat of tlie summer,
as it is liable to do, the Quakers are
going to find a very much harder
road to travel. They would have a
good chance for the pennant with
more sturdy batters. As it is now.
they are depending on their twirlers
and have not better than an outside
opportunity for the championship.
critics. Nobody could see any good
in that team before the race opened,
with the possible exception of Stal
lings, the manager, and James Gaff
ney, the owner, and yet it is playing
ball and becoming the talk of the
town in place of the declining Red
Sox. Stallings is responsible for it,
because he is a manager, who builds
up a club. Within a year or two
the Boston team is going to be one
to take into the pennant reckoning
I believe. The manager is digging
up new material which suits his pur-1
poses and developing it. One thing !
he is looking for and w{iich no other
Boston team has possessed for a
good many years is speed. His sys
tem very closely resembles that fol
lowed by McGraw.
So far I have not seen St. Louis in
action, but I do not believe its show- i
ing to date is its normal stride. It I
does not strike me that Huggins can j
maintain anything like a first divi- i
jion pace. His club will not stand it.

7 HEN the Giants were going
badly two or three weeks ago
and everybody was kicking the ball.
McGraw called "Larry” Doyle, the
good natured. to him after a game
and took up with him the matter of
an error he had made which figured
largely in the defeat of the Giants.
"Well." replied "Larry,” "you’ve
got to hand it to me, boss. I make
all my errors w’hen they count.”
This answer disarmed McGraw.
“You're a great little, pinch error
maker,” admitted McGraw.
* * *
I T must not be thought that I am
slighting the American League,
but there has been little change
during the week in that organization.
The Athletics are still piling along
wdth a comfortable lead, and Boston
is crashing dow'n through the stand
ing. giving little indication of having
even a look-in for the flag. The Wash
ington club is the worst sufferer.
Griffith has had some hard luck that
has slowed up his team and hurt his
chances for the pennant very largely.
Foster, who within a year developed
into one of the best third basemen
in the league, is laid up with typhoid
fever and will be out of the game
for pretty nearly two months any
way. This destroys the smooth work
ing of the infield, because Laporte
is slow.
Johnson, the pitcher, is the won
der of the season. He established
his record of fifty-6ix scoreless in
nings last week. To my mind, he is
not only the greatest in the game
to-day, but the greatest in the game
has ever produced. He did not make

from the prep schools of Atlanta
this year is not as difficult as
it has been in past seasons. This year
there is a star for almost every po
sition who is so much better than his
nearest competitor that there is lit
tle chance for any disagreement.
Here are the names of the players,
the ocsitions that they are given
and the schools which they represent
ed the past season.

Lowery first base Marist
Bedell second base.. Tech High
Allen third base Marist
Spurlock shortstop.. Boys High
Laird left field Tech High
Rennolds .... center field .. Tech High
Wells right field Peacock
J. Parks utility Tech High
Sam Armistead, of Boys High, is
without a doubt the best backstop in
the league this year. He steadies a
pitcher, leads the league in batting
and seldom allows a man to steal a
base. He is made captain of the nine
as he knows the game thoroughly.
Fox Leading Pitcher.
The pitching staff is the only prob
lem on the team. Fox has shown up
the best this year, but one man is
not enough to do the twirling for a
team, so another had to be selected;
and right here is where the rub comes
in. Weston and Callahan are so
nearly equal in ability that it is nec
essary to name both. Callahan is a
pitcher of the sensational style, a
pitcher who often fans the first nine
or ten men who face him and then
when his support weakens blows up
and loses the game. Weston has
pitched in only two games this year
but his showing in both contests was
fine. Besides his pitching he is the
best batting and fielding twirler of
them all.
Jim Lowery gets the job at first
base without any trouble. He is a
steady player and about the only man
on the Marist team who has not
"spilled the beans" in some game.
Bill Bedell is the right man for
second base. He is fast and has
swiped more bases this year than any
man in the league. He is also a good
batter.
Charlie Allen, of Marist, has not
played quite up to his usual standard
at third base this year, but. neverthe
less. his playing and hitting has been
good enough to warrant him a place
on the all-Mtar team.
Weston and Parks, of Tech High,
are also crack third stackers, but
Weston is also a pitcher and Parks
has been given the utility job. j
Spurlock Crack Shortstop. (
Spurlock is in a class by himself
when it comes to playing shortstop.
He has a good head and can hit an 1 '
field well. He is just what a short
stop should be. Harry Rennolds is
the best outfielder in the bunch and
is given a place at center. His field
ing average for the season is .996
and he is always there with the stick.
Johnny Laird is another good out
fielder and is especially good on dif- >
flcult balls. The other outfield posi
tion is given to Wells, of Peacock. al- t ^
though he is a shortstop. He is too
good a man to be kept off the team
and could play the outfield as well
as any of them.
Jim Parks, of Tech High, gets the
position of utility man. which is just
as important a place as any other one
on a team. Parki' is a good pitcher,
crack infielder and a slugger, one of
the best in the league, and he would
be a great asset to this team.
