In September Was the Result.
Cobb Only a Boy.
From now on everything favors the
champions and everything Is against
the Tigers, so far as winning out in a
bruising finish Is concerned. The
matchless Cobb, an immense factor
In the success of the Detroits, outdid
himself all through the earlier moons.
There never was such baseball as
Cobb put up during May. June and
July. He was the talk OF the country,
the sensation OF the baseball uni
verse. He ran away with all competi-
tors, and, honestly believe. ran away
with himself.
Tyrus Cobb, despite his years OF
vast renown, Is only a boy, and a
slender boy at that. His frame Is not
yet fully set and nodded. 1t seems
strange, perhaps, to talk OF a fellow
who has been a marvel for five years
as being only junior and a kid, but

pay the price. and that Cobb's falling

As he ran up to the Ameri- csn line he implored the American officer, do not let them shoot me" He said he had been in the Mexican army for seven years and that this was the first opportunity he had had to escape.
 The soldier took such route in coming to the line that had he been fred on the bullets of the pursuers would have struck among the Ameri- can soldiers at the line. fact that the deserter was wise enough to know. Two sentries at Agua PTieta leyeled their maUsers at the fleeing deserer. but quickly recovered" when they saw that if their bullets missed they would fall among the American troors. It Is said that now a closer guard is being maintained over the federal sohiiers at the boT- der city TO prevent further desertions.

 Feet of Walks

Work on the park at Warren is pro gressing in a satisfactory manner and it is not improbable that by the late summer the park and grounds will be in such conditions that late summer concerts and other social af- fairs may be held there. The band stand is about finished and force )f painters will be put to work on 1t in a few days.
 The laying of the cement walks is under way but it will not be com pleted for about sixty days, as 15.- 900 square feet of paved walks will be laid. Two car loads of cement will go into this work
 One hundred shade trees have been set out and they are already full of leaves. A fence will not be built and the park plots set out in grass and by next season the park will be the prettiest spot in this section. By the summer of 1912 Bisbee will have one Of the prettiest play grounds in the southwest While the park is at warren, the street car ride from Bisbee to the suburb will be one of the best features Of an evening lark at the park.
