TY COBB AN EASY MAN
TO HANDLE, SAYS BILL
ARMOUR, ONCE OF TlGEs

Whenever the fans congre-
gate and discuss ball players
the title of best ball player OF
the age" generally Is vested in
Mr.. Cobb, OF Detroit, without
dissenting voice. Likewise,
somebody generally horns in
with the suggestion that Mr.,
Cobb Is a tough customer for
the manager to handle.
Bill Armour, Cardinals scout,
says Il isn't SO, and he ought
TO know, because he discovered
Cobbs ability and kept him on
the Tigers when he had charge
OF that club. Some pretty wise
judges OF ball players advised
Bill to pass up Tyrus, but Bill
stuck. thereby adding TO his
reputation for wisdom and dis
erection.
The first contract Cobb had
called for $1,000 per season,
Armour said. The next year
| got him one for $1,000. AZ
though he did not ask for an
increase. The third year he
made his own terms and they
were big. Thus you can see
his rapid development. | al
