TY COBB WON'T
SULK WITH DETROIT

Special Dispatch to The Star
AUGUSTA, Ga, February 5.-Ty Cobb
has not yet signed up with Detroit, but
he does not expect any trouble over get
ting a contract that will satisfy him. Cobb
is looking at matters in the very best of
spirit. and is on the most friendly terms
with every person connected with the De-
troit management. He says it ia a ques-
ton of business with him. and he is only
trying TO make a trade that will protect
himself. At the same time he has not been
unmindful of the interests of the men he
expects to play for.
Cobb cites the fact that this is the very
best time Of his base ball existence and
that If he fails to get a salary at the top
notch next season, will never be able to go
any higher.
He says that he is young and strong and
just entering that period Of ball players

the time for him to get the salary of
star. 1t is the accepted moment, and
failure to reach that desired goal now
means failure for all time to come
The management of the Detroit club is
looking on the requirements set down in
the contract as outlined by Cobb in about
the same light as viewed by him. While
he may not get all he asks for. there is
no doubt in the world about the Detroit
people giving him more than they first, Of
fered. They realize Cobb is their bright
particular star. and are not going to let
him go because of any reasonable differ
ence between them on the money ques-
ton.
Cobb is going to Hot Springs To report
for the spring. training. even if his con-
tract has not been arranged by that
time, which is little more than a month

The Young Georgian is not going to sulls
at all. but. on the other hand, is going to
follow out a broad-nlinded policy and
deal with the mana cement of the club in
a businesslike way until negotiations have
been closed.
Cobb is now in Augusta. where he is
playing indoor base ball nearly every even
ing. He is coach of a fine club of indoor
base ball players. and the games are
drawing large crowds. Double headers

and again this afternoon crowds were
in attendance to see the new store

Upstairs Mr.. Lay has opened very
extensive stock Of carpets, rugs and
linoleums. The rugs are shown fiat on
the floor just as they would be in ones
house and with direct light. Likewise
the carpets and rugs. In the front of
the room on tables are the readyto-
