Detroit is resorting to all sorts OF
nasty and unsportmanlike tricks To
hamper and harrass the Athletics and
Highlanders In the pennant race. The
Detroit players are writing TO news
papers. claiming that the Philadel-
phians are rank cutters and basing
their assertions on what the Mack
men did before the Giants in New
York.

The writer dealt with the CoDp-
Jones controversy probably more Sc
verely than any OF the other baseball
writer's in Detroit. II looked to us
like a grave breach on the part OF
those involved and we said SO candid
ly and without reservation. The truth
OF the matter was not concealed. The
facts were stated fully, together with
such comment as the sporting editor
thought the situation deserved.
There IS one thing about Tyrus
Cobb you must admire-he IL just as
quick to acknowledge fault as he IL
TO lose his temper and rush into deli
cate position. After reviewing his &C
ton in the matter OF the dispute with
David Jones, Cobb says he adopted
the wrong course and regrets his ac-
ton. He told that to the club owners
and to the baseball writer's. He makes
no bones OF his regret and acknowl
edges his fault. Best OF all, he Is back
in there working and giving the club
the best he has.
Cobb on Saturday requested meet
Ing to talk over the matter. He felt
he had been treated too severely by
The Times and said so freely. He did
not buster, he did not demand any
retractions--he merely explained him
self and his attitude. He regretted he
had absented himself from the lineup
and said he realized now that so do
ing was not the proper means OF show
ing his disapproval Of the incidents
which lead up to the breach. He did
not ask that anything be printed, but
thought he had been misjudged.
/ The interview brought out one thing
! plainly-Cobb Is quick TO recover from
anger and perfectly honest to admit a
fault when Il is his own. We have
encountered great many men en-
gagged in baseball at various times
within the past 10 years, have been
threatened with everything from ter
rible hereafter to total determination
In the immediate present and never
have we met an athlete who takes
severe criticisms with as fair an at
titude as Cobb does.
The little incident OF last week will
be forgotten in few days and will be
lost In. the rush of trying to snatch
the elusive pennant. but the fact will
sort OF stick In the memory that Ty
Cobb, in spite of hasty temper, Is a
square sort OF a fellow, not above adj
hitting his own faults, and always
willing to meet the other fellow half
way.

Mississjppi Stearnhoatinu.

The steamboat age on the Mississippi
began about 1921 and flourished for
fifty years. AS early as 1884 the num-
Der Of steamboats, on the Mississippi
and its tributaries Is estimated at go,
and In 1912 there were $50 vessels,
with value of S25,000o00. But the
golden era was from 1s4S till the war.
Never did the valley and steamboatlng

bales of cotton were annually shipped
to southern markets. and the wharfs
Of St Louis and Memphis and Vicks-

The Almighty has not freighted the
foot with single superfuous part.
Every inch of every foot Is meant for
use. When d man walks in the right
way, speaking literally, the back of the
heel strikes the ground first. Then the
rest of the heel comes down, after
which the outer edge of the foot takes
the bulk of the burden until the for
ward movement shifts the weight to

superficial seeing. The sun Eliminates

truly adjusted to each other: who has
retained the spirit of infancy even
