United Press reports Babe Ruth, a rising force for the New York Yankees, may succeed Ty Cobb as baseball’s top star. Ruth has shown exceptional hitting feats, baserunning speed, and fielding skill, with a career highlighted by a 420 batting average in 1912 and 768 stolen bases across 14 seasons, challenging Cobb’s long dominance.

Ruth Seen as All Around Star Not Just Home Run King
