April T.-MV-Baseball people are atiU taking sides in the recent Associated Press poll to decide the greatest player of the past 50 yeara. The latest to disagree with the nation's sportswriters who gave the honor to Babe Ruth if Man ager Burt Shotton of the Brook lyn Dodgers. He named Ty Cobb as the greatest player during the first half of the century. "I played against both," he went on, "and to me there was none that ever came close to Cobb Anybody who played against him would tell you there never was a player like Cobb." During the stretch from 1909 to 1918 while Burt was playins in the outfield for the St. Louis Browns, Cobb won the batting title every year except one, in 1916, when Tris Speaker beat him out. Nothing He Couldn't De "I bet Cobb could beat you more times than Ruth, and in more ways," he said. "There wasn't a thing that fiery Georgian couldn't do. He hit over .400 three times. He once stole 98 bases in a season. He collected over 4.0OO hits and scored more than 3.000 runs. "Sure, Ruth was a great home run hitter," Shotton conceded, "but they had to change the game for him. They made over the ball. They even built i ball park to suit him." Shotton said he always got along well with Cobb, despite Ty's fiery reputation. Net Liked "I just never spoke to him," Burt grinned. "Cobb was not liked by anybody. But he waa respected everywhere. He was the roughest, toughest player I ever saw. He was not dirty though. "Cobb was a terror on the base paths. I'll never forget the day Bill Bailey, one of our lefthanders, pick.'d him off first. Before any of us realized it, Cobb had acored. "Another time, I had the bail in my hand behind third, backing up a throw there. I positively had Ty trapped half way to the plate. I said to myself, 'Ty, you old so-and-so, I got you this time.' I threw home in plenty of time to get him. Then 1 ssw Cobb slide. Nobody slides today the way he did. The ball went in one direction, the catcher's glove in another, and our catcher, Paul FUN WITH A MERCURY y. You'll spend mere ime fishina and less time fussing if you're uing a MERCURY "or.
