TRYING TO CORRAL

Grif admits that he would like to have
Cobb who hit we'll over 300 in the American
League last season, but when asked about
deal replied that he had no official notice
that Cobb could be secured by purchase or
barter.
He does not feel bitter toward Delehanty:
he simply believes that the Cleveland boy
is showing bad Judgment, but If Delehanty
holds out much longer the Yankee manager
may not take a chance on him. Cobb has
had trouble with more than one Detroit
player. Griffith says he does not believe the
youngster is disturber. He is of the opin-
ion that Cobb simply got started with the
wrong team and that change would be of
mutual benefit to player and club. When
Hughey Jennings accepted the Detroit man
agcment il was noised abroad that he would

GIRL STEALS SOCKS.
But the Court Concludes She Will Sin
No More.

Mamie Berry, colored. was charged in the
Police Court this morning with the larceny
of a pair of socks.
What did this woman do?" Judge Null
lowry asked Concetto Vitalte, the prose-
cutting witness.
"She took pair of my socks" he replied.
"Clean socks?" asked the judge.
Yes, SIR" and the socks, cleaned and
ironed, We're exhibited.
What will these servant girls take next?"
commented his honor.
When Mamie took the stand she told the
judge that her shoes had holes in them. that
her stockings became too moist for health
and comfort so she took the socks to wear.
How did they feel?" asked the judge.
The girl did not reply, and the judge con-
tinued: II thought If you didn't like to
wear socks we might trust you not to take
any more"
"Well. you washed the socks, anyway"
concluded the judge. That's more than
some would have done. Case dismissed"
