There's a question whether Cobb would have adjusted his swing to adapt to the new game. But hitters like Wheat, Jackson, and Ruth would do more than just fit in. I suspect that Hornsby would put up nice power numbers today: he combined the linear and rotational motions that gave the others great power. As for the pitching, even today's starters pace themselves at times.
As for Ryan's ability to throw a no hitter way back when, I would guess he would sneak one in there, maybe pitching against the Browns.
