Ty Cobb got demonstration OF how
much the fans OF Detroit think OF him
when crowd OF the faithful were
about TO mob several policemen on
his account day or so ago.
Just as Cobb was getting on to the
bus In Detroit TO go out 10 the ball
park Negro. pushing his way through
a crowd that had gathered, called him
a vile name. The thing was done with
out the slightest provocatlon and quick
as fash Cobb was on the ground and
had knocked the man down. That
ended the incident for the time and the
bus went on its way unmolested. Just
before the game started two officers
walked near to the bench and called
Cobb TO one side. The crowd saw
them and thinking he was about TO
be taken from the park. gathered
around the men and declared Cobb
should not be disturbed and that II
there was case TO be made against
him II would have 10 walt until after
the game
The officers, however. had no inten.

ed and SO there was no trouble.
