JOE JACKSON IS IMPROVING

All White Sox Are Pulling for Outfielder to Lead American League as Hardest Hitter. “Joe Jackson is getting better every day,” said Eddie Collins, captain and

second baseman for the Chicago White Sox. “Speaker is a sort of combination of Cobh and Jackson in hitting. Spoke will beat , out some infield hits; not as many as Cobb and more than Jackson. He will not walk as often as Cobb, but will walk oftener thad Jackson. Thi s

means that Jackson is the cleaner hitter. He has to be to stay in that company. , “All the White Sox are pulling for Joe to lead the American league this year. He has been a wonderful hitter for several years, but he be ver got the credit due him. t He has hit hard enofigh several years to lead every league but the one Cobb was in. It’s the greatest race the game has ever known.”
