Show CONNIE MACK PRAISES COBB Leader of Athletics Resents Intimation That Tiger Outfielder Is a Lucky Player. A couple of the Athletic players were talking the other day and one of them laid : "Cobb got two lucky hits here." "Not exactly," said Connie Mack. "Cobb makes his luck. If he bits the ball and it rolls to an infielder, Cobb goes to first base like a deer. He hurries hur-ries the infielder and if he boots the ball, makes a wide throw, or the first baseman drops the sphere, Cobb gets a hit, for he will be so close to the bag that everyone will say, 'Cobb had it beaten.' Cobb fights for everything he gets, you have to hand it to him, I don't know where there is one like uini." |
