Ty Cobb, Great American rJ’Y Cobb, greatest of the! baseball players, is going home at seventy years of age, to Rovston, Georgia. We call attention to Cobb’s retirement because the greatest of the major league baseball players has been an example for others in his successful years following re tirement. For twenty-one; years he played with the Detroit Tigers and then, for two years, with the Philadelphia Athletics, both teams in the American League. Many of his records stfill stand, and his color, spirit and daring op the baseball dia mond have never been equalled since he left the game. More that that; Cobb has been a successful business man j and has lived a life which is somewhat exemplary. He is the founder of thje Cobb Education Fund and is the proud donor of a hospital he built in his father’s memory at Rovston, Georgia. In addition to these charitable un dertakings, Cobb has amassed considerable private wealth, and constantly uses por tions of it to support projects of a charita ble and educational nature. In other words, the greatest of the major leaguers on the baseball dianjond has set just about as enviable a record since his retirement from the game for his fellow baseballers to follow as he did when he burnt up the base paths earlier in the cen tury.
