Characterizing him as an “ebony Ty Cobb,” he mentioned numerous instances in which Jackie broke up ball games with his daring on the basepaths | “The point here,” he wrote, “4s| that Robinson is not spectacular in a lone wolf manner. His hot=| E footing has typed the Dodger play. Teaming with another super-flyer,! : Pete Reiser, he inspired the most, desriptive line written this ‘year. . . .
