My question is "What happened in 1915?"
He didn't have any MVP votes in 1915.
1915 wasn't an outstanding year for him by his standards.
What am I missing?

I don't even understand why you or the MVP voters in 1915 think/thought that 1915 wasn't such a good year for Ty Cobb:

A year in which a player was both the batting champion and set a stolen base record that would last for 47 years sure sounds like a great year to me!
