A Detroit paper is promoting a
scheme to have August 80 celebrated
as Ty Cobb Day in Detroit. Ty played
his first game In the American league
on August 30, 1905, and helped the
Tigers defeat the New York Ameri-
cans 5 to 3, by making double off
Jack Chesbro, the first major league
pitcher he ever faced. incidentally,
the making of seven hits by Cobb in
a double-header on July II of this
year was not record. On July 10,
1897, Ed Delehanty, then with the
Phillies in the 12-club National Lea
que, made eight singles and a triple
in nine times at bat.

is no place like the coast. They pre-
fer to play there if they are unable
to hold on in the big show.

The indignation caused among the
York fans by the release of Pitcher
Allan Russell has simmered down.
Cooper. the Reading left fielder Is
