NOW TYRUS " Ill
MAKE US ALL
LIKE It
Peach Leaves Royston, After Selling
Out His Automobile Business
At Augusta, and Will
Join Mates.
Special Rules for Him. Why Ger.
tainly! Provided OF Course, He's
Himself As He VIII Be
av Paul hALE eRuskE.

Somewhere along The line between
Royston. Ga, anG ktansNi L.. lhdr
there is scurryiug . bali player named
TyTus COBB, bent on joining his team.
the Detroit Tigers, "a the few practice
games remaining TO Ue played IN the
six days prior 10 the opening OF the
season.
Dispatches from Georgia have II
that ~ has sold out his automobile
business FOR good and viii devote bis
time IL the future 10 baseball IN sea
son, and a business IN Atlanta ~ the
winter time, which viii permit his
prompt departure each spring 10 join
his mates in their regular work.
The change OF winter residence
from Augusta TO Atlanta is one OF the
factors which Cobb is quoted As be-
lieylng Will conduct 10 this end.
Sure To Be on Deck Soon.
Just when the old familiar entry
"Copp, rf.," will first appear on the
Tigers box score cannot DE definitely
predicted, though indications point TO
that event as almost certain 10 take
place within the next few hours,
weather permitting todays game 10
take place as scheduled.
Cobb has taken a tremendous risk
in combining his practice with the
team 10 the final week preceding the
opening OF the big show
At the time his mates we're sweiter-
ing away al "SantOne,' Ty was still
at home. He has side-stepped the
night jumps OF the trip north and the
early morning trains which have form
ed the alternate method OF transit
The rigorous demands Of a trip Of
that sort were not for him. Superb
cially it has seemed that the team )
star has merely assumed a position
OF superiority TO his mates that has
made him immune 10 the require
menJs OF his employers. II he should
fail to get started In his weN-known
copyrighted style. he is sure 10 hear
from il, not only from the cities where
he is so enthusiastically hated on ac-
count OF his winning ways, but also
from the city whose uniform be wears.
Nevertheless | am willing 10 go on
record with the prediction that Ty IS
going 10 emerge from the little cloud
with his fame untarnished and his
prestige undtmmed
HE is GOING TO DO WHAT He
PLEASES AND MAKE MATES, EN-
PLOYERS. RIOTERS AND CRITICS
ADMIT THAT WE ALL LIKE 1T.
How Ty Will DO II.
He is going 10 jump into those prac-
tice games in condition that will show
him right up with his mates and he IL
be in his first game. just as fast, just
as daring and just as sensational as
he was at any stage of the pennant
race last year or the year before. or
any season in which he has been a
luminary OF the Detroit constellation.
He will tell his mates the business
affairs which made II impossible for
him 10 join the club when he really
wanted to. He will voice his inten-
ton Of being on the job with regular
ity herewith and he Will win them all
to him IN his own quiet, southern
style.
In brief, he'll get away with II.
For there is only one Tyrus cobb
and every Detroiter Is his prophet.
You've got to concede something 10
a ball player like he is.
A special set Of rules for Cobb7
Why certainly! Extraordinary means
deserve extraordinary measures. An
extraordinary ball payer-unique. we
in Detroit maintain is the proper ad-
IectVe to apply 10 the young athlete
in question-demands unique treat.

And he gets II.
Furthermore. he has a right 10 IL.
