THE BIG "CoBB" SCANDAL THAT IS CLOSED
Here is what he said:

Here is what he said:
 "Johuson cannot harm me by keep Ing me out of the game. He only harms the Detroit team My salary goes on just the same
 Johnson Is the most egotistical, the most overbearing. and the most stub born person In baseball today. He was entirely wrong when he suspended me, because he did not take time to in- vestigate the case first. He did it af- ter the most Johnsonesque fashion. l can get a dozen times as many wit nesses as Johnson or Leucker can to prove their stand In fact. there are just two against me-Johnson and Leucker"
 Johnson contends that Cobb was in the wrong, not in that he resented an insult. but because he had started the trouble out of which the insult grew. Whether or not this is true is not proved. Throughout the baseball world, however. Cobb was upheld. In the south everyone is glad that Cobb struck.

It Is over-the scandal.


 As is remembered. Tyrus Cobb. some time ago in New York, during the pro- gress of a game, made an assault on spectator, Claude Leucker. It is said that Cobb punched Leucker fearfully. Ban Johnson, president of the Amer ican league. suspended Cobb.
 The other members of the Tiger col ony, believing firmly that Cobb had acted properly in resenting an insult said to have been as serious as 1t could have been refused to play dur ing the suspension of the star. A strike followed Detroit with a patched up team attempted to play out its schedule. Johnson was firm.
 After 10 days the suspension was lifted and Cobb returned to theA game However. he was forced to fork oyer a little pot eontaing $50. Before and after paying the fine Cobb seriously criticised Johnson.

Games Today Atlanta in Montgomery. New Orleans in Memphis.

The Barons defeated the Lookouts yes terday afternoon to 1.
 The runs of the game were the result of circuit clouts In view of the excel lence of the rival fingers, run could scarcely have come through any other source.
 It was an interesting game without be- ing spectacular. It was gripping. Fof half the way the Barons trailed. Then out of the clear sky as suddenly as the pro- verbal bolt came the wallop. Marcan fathered the wallop.
 There were about 5000 people seated about the field. The feature of the bat tie, excepting of course the home run clout of Marean, was the swatting of Moves. The Lookout catcher got away with three wallops in three times at the bat. Both pitchers, More and Hardgrove, were effective all the way.
 Moves Hits Homer
 In the third, the visitors got their first hit. Barr had gone out Moves smashed the pellet over the head of Carroll. That player got to the ball rapidly, but jug eled 1t. He finally tossed it to Mcbride and Mcbride lost moment counting the stitches In the meantime Moves had scored.
 But one other opportunity had the Lookouts to count. In the third Moves opened with a single and was sacrificed by More. Coyle beat out a hit to Ellam, and Moves took third. A long fly would have sent a run over. But Jordan's fly, instead of being long one, was q pop to Marcan. A double steal was then at- tempted, and Moves at the plate fell a victim to nifty heaving by Dilger and Marcan.
 Marcan's Timely Clout
 Up to the seventh the expression of Birmingham was as that of Mudville on one historical occasion But the clouds lifted. Ellam, first up, went out to Coyle. Dilger, however, swatted kneely to right center. Hardgrove in- stead of singling sacrificed the runner to second, and the play was good one A passed ball showed Dilger to third. Then Mapcan clouted. The pellet flew as If with eyes across the head of Barr The spectators held their breath, for there was chance that the ball would be captured. But, even as they sat speeches. the pellet dived to earth and bounded away as if in a fiendish spirit to play In the meantime Mar can was circling second. When Barr captured the pill the runner was near third. He scored as the ball was hurt ling along to Moves.
 Smith Is Grieved Marcan was given an ovation. It was the longest hit and most timely of his career. Some shekels were tossed into the diamond. As a result of the clout in grief is the head of Bill Smith bowed, and the Barons are 100 points in advance of their nearest oop,patftorc
