FREE TICKETS

, Indications are that more outsiders
will visit the seventh annual Detroit
automobile show during the week OF
Feb. 10 than were here in other years.
Manager McMaster has received five
orders OF 100 tickets apiece from fac
tories. and these will be sent out
through Michigan. Ohio and Indiana.
BY the time OF the show thousands OF

Detroit.
Business has shown such improve
ment in the last three weeks that the
makers are cheerful. Factories In
many instances are working just as
many hands as they did last January,
and retailers are booking orders. The
local show always has been trade
maker. and this years promises to out
strip any OF the others, because the
general tendency OF the market has
been backward.
Some who expected to place orders
in the fall waited until the black
clouds had blown away, and now they

The party remained for few min

that the run will be terminated In IL

CHAT eAND COMMENT OF
SPORT cAND SPORTSMAN
BY Paul II. Bruske.

Georgia boy has not proven his conten-
| ton, at that.
The assurance that his contract is
identical with those signed by Craw-
ford and Donovan would not influence
Cobb in the least. The Just as good"
argument is a poor one with which to
appeal TO the Georgia Peach. He
doubtless contends-and again with
some show of justice. too-that Craw-
ford, Donovan and all the rest might
have done their best for the team, but
would still have fallen behind In the
pennant race, but for his efforts. This
argument, however. would be undouht-
eddy just as applicable 10 the other
pair. The team could not have sue
ceeded with any one OF the big
Three of -harnaSs----
Nor need Cobb lack for employment
this summer IL he persists on his terms
being met by the club. He can land
$500 coaching job for the spring and
the Chicago semi-professional dia-
monds which sheltered Mike Donlin
last year would undoubtedly beckon
him for the main share of the season,
although the income thus afforded
would come nowhere near that offered
by the Detroit management.
But Tvs heart would certainly be
far away In such a case. The doings
OF his old comrades and the big crowds
that know him SO we'll would all conr-
bine TO make his work in a smaller cir
cult drudgery and nothing less.
