Ty Cobb Holds Old Time Form Despite Slowing Speed
New York December 27 Ty Cobb the Detroit Tigers star is praised as still the game's greatest player though manager Hughie Jennings notes a slight loss of speed.

Cobb, 33, shows youth in form and could remain a major leaguer for years as his longevity is highlighted.
