.IY CODB'S EYES
NOW ALL RIGHT

Birmingham, Ala. March 31.--A lit
tie grain of sand was the cause of Ty
Cobb's eye trouble last fall The grit
lodged in the ball OF his right eve and
1t was weeks before an eye specialist
discovered the cause of the inflamma-
'tion.
While Cobb was complaining of eye
trouble and the fans nagging at him
because of the peculiar position the
Georgia Peach was placed in on ac-
count OF the motor car prize which he
and .Lajoie were rontending for, the
ball player was really suffering excru-
chatting pain every time he moved his
eye lid. Doctors thought that a cata-
ract was forming, and they based
their treatment on this theory, which
of course. did not relieve the trouble
After treating with one specialist for
weeks, Cobb went to another for a
treatment, and 1t was only after a
very careful microscopical examination
of the surface OF the eye bali that
the little grain Of sand was discover
ed. AS soon as it was removed Cobbs
eye healed rapidly.
During the winter Cobb, fearful that
his eve sight might have been perma-
nently impaired by the constant irri-
tation, visited several different special
lists and had his eyes carefully exam
ined. They all pronounced his eyes as
being in good condition.
