Somewhere along the line between
Royston, Ga, and Evansville, lno'
there is scurrying ball player named
Tyrus Cobb, bent on joining his team
the Detroit Tigers, in the few practice
games remaining TO be played IN tue
Six days prior 10 the opening OF Tue
season.
Dispatches from George have II
that Ty has sold out his automoblle
business for good and will devote MS
time in the future TO baseball in sea
SON. and a. business in Atlanta IN the
winter time, which will permit his
rrompt departure each spring TO JON
nis 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-
ieving will conduct TO this END.
Sure To Be on Deck Soon.
Just when the old familiar entry
Cobb, rf.," will first appear on the
TIGERS box score cannot be oehnitey
predicted, though indications point to
!. that event as almost certain 10 TAKE
place within the next TWO DAYS
weather permitting the games TO take
place as scheduled.
Cobb has taken tremendous rlsN
in combining his practice with the
team 10 the final week preceding the
opening of the big show.
Al the time his mates were sWelter-
ing away at "Santone," Ty was sun
AT home. He has side-stepped the
night Jumps OF the trip north ana the
early morning trains which have form
ed the alternate method OF transit.
The rigorous demands OF trip OF
that sort were not for him. Superb
cially il has seemed that the team
star has merely assumed a position
of superiority 10 his mates that has
made him immune to the require
ments of his employers. If he SHOULD
fail to get started in his weli-known
copyrighted style, he is sure TO 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 he wears.
49, Nevertheless am willing 10 go on
record with the prediction that Ty is
going to emerge from the little cloud
with his fame untarnished and his
prestige undimmed.
HE is GOING TO DO WHAT He
PLEASES AND MAKE MATES. EN-
PLOYERS, RIOTERS AND CRITICS
ADMIT THAT WE ALL LIKE 1T.
How Ty viii Do It.
He is going to jump into those prae-
tice games in condition that will show
him right up with his mates and he'll
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 it impossible for
him to join the club when he really
wanted to. He will voice his inteu
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 It.
For there Is only one Tyrus cobb
and every Detroiter is his prophet.
You've got to coneede something 10
a ball player like he Is.

extraordinary ball pIayer-unlque, we
In Detroit maintain is the proper ad-

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