WAY
OF
HURLING
--COBB'S
TRIBUTE
As
long
as
there
is
a
game
of
baseball
there
will
be
those
who
will
argue
that
Walter
Johnson,
whose
death
is
recorded,
was
the
greatest
pitcher
the
game
ever
knew.
That
big,
gangling,
modest
native
of
Humboldt,
Allen
County,
Kansas,
became
a
national
character
because
of
the
unusual
way
he
thrtw
a
baseball.
He
hurled
with
terrific
speed
and
amazing
accuracythe
first
a
talent
that
came
to
him
naturally;
the
sec-end,
a
skill
he
developed.
Enthusiasm
over
his
feats
once
ran
so
high
that
visitors
to
Washington
for
a
period
of
v-
cral
years
before
the
world
war
asked
to
see
.him
b:fore
they
did
the
president
of
the
United
States,
Congress,
or
the
Wash-
ington
Monument.
Stcrles

His
Speed
Stories
cf
his

are
legend,
but
no
one
ever
gave
him
a
more
eloquent
compliment
than
Ty
Cobb
"the
Georgia
Peach,"
who,
when
asked
what
was
his
most
embarrassing
experience
in
baseball,
replied:

he

between
training
rounds,
in
whkih
he
uses
as
many
as
three
sparring

some
cf

pretty

themselves.
"This
