SORE AT HOTEL
 COBB QUITS TEAM
Detroit Star Angry Because He Can't Sleep Leaves Tigers
 and Refuses to Play

Chicago, April 17-When the Tigers came in from Cleveland Tuesday the slugging soutfielder, Tyrus Cobb, was among those present There was noth- ing to indicate that all was not serene with the Georgia peach. He went to an exclusive south side hotel along with his pals and after while was assigned to a room.
 Tyrus had not slept well on the train coming from Cleveland, and ann.ounc- ed that he would take a nap. He went to his room and to bed. In little while he was down and complaining to the clerk that the trains on the H. linois Central kept him awake. The clerk was just as eager to please as any man could be, but he told the outfielder that his room could not be changed. Ty took it up with Man ager Jennings. The latter informed the star that he was running a ball club and not a hotel and that if CobD didn't like his room he could go to another hotel.
 Ty said he would and then announc- ed that while he was about it he would go to another hotel in another town. Whereupon he packed his trunk, had 1t checked to Detroit and went to the ball game-in his street clothes. mind you. He sat in box back of first base and was there in the role of spectator and not as an athlete. Perry played his position in centre.
 The difference between what Perry did and what Cobb would probably have done was so great that the Sox don't care if the star remains out of the game for the remainder of the series, and the chances are that Tyrus can get all the carfare he wants if he will apply to the White Sox. They'd give him enough to go to South Af- rica if he would only promise to go. Perry didn't get a hit, and it's a moral cinch that with the pitching of yesterday Cobb would have done considerably better.
 Late Tuesday night Cobb could not be found, and his friends declared he had gone to Detroit. Jennings said: ''Tyrus is on another rampage may be, but he'll come back. I don't know what's become of him and don't care"

BALM FOR FANS WHO
 MISSED WORLDS SERIES

President John T. Brush of the New York club, has taken a step that may go far to wipe out the disap- pointment felt by patrons of the club who, last October, were unable to procure tickets, for the games of the worlds series, played at the Polo Grounds.
 Many of the fans were very ind1g- nant when they sent checks and money orders to the clubs office and received no tickets in return. Later the money sent was returned to the eenders, who would have preferred to have the tickets.
 Mir. Brush is sending handsomely engraved invitations for the opening game tomorrow between the Giants and the Brooklyns at the Brush Sta- dium to parties who did not secure seats for the big game last fall and whose money was returned to them.

DETROIT MAKES FIRST
 TRIPLE PLAY OF SEASON.

Chicago, April 1.-The Tigers gave the White Sox one of the worst lick ings of the year yesterday afternoon. defeating them 10 to 1. The Tigers had on their batting clothes and drove out eighteen hits off Peters and Delhi, a pair of recruit twirlers Crawford and Willett led in the assault, each securing a trio of hits.
 In addition to all this the Tigers pulled the first triple play of the sea- son.

The Skeeters were pretty they are under new management and the club is the strongest of the Jer- sey City squads that have visited us. Hugh McBreen, former secretary of the Boston Red Sox, has a half inter- est in the Skeeters and he gets a bunch of players from the Red Sox.
 Pitcher Hooks Cunningham was working against his old boss yester- day. Manager Schlafly of the Skeet- CTS was running the Troy club last season when Cunningham was with smoke and after the first inning had his stuff working right.
 Outfielder Frank Carroll has writ ten to Manager McCann saying that he will report Monday. He is in Troy, N. Y., where he is coaching a school team The local manager is sore because Carroll didn't report earl fer and he says the former Troy play CT will have to show something good to stick with the club.
 Manager schlafly of Jersey City tried to unload Catcher Conley upon Bridgeport. He put the youngster in to show Manager McCann what wonder the kid was. Conley didn't look as good as Corkins. The Me- chanics stole a couple of bases on him,
 in the fourth Miller soaked one to- ward second that took a bad bound and hit Second Baseman Breen over the eye, causing the blood to flow. Breen retired to the bench and later had two stitches inserted in the wound There is a bad spot near freak bound hit Bob Stow in the shoulder.

Albany has a fast team. Manager McCann intends to use Dixie Walker, Dick Tuckey and Hooks Cunningham against the visit ors. Game called at o'clock.
 Manager McCann was greatly pleas ed at Kid Corkins' showing behind the bat The youngster was full of gin ger. He accepted nine chances and also got timely single. His only fault is slowness in starting after fouls He should learn to whip off his mask as soon as he hears the crack of the bat. 1T never had catcher who showed better headwork behind the plate than Corkins," said Cunningham.
 Chief Snyder was going great guns. He mixed 'em up and once in a while shot in his underhand fling. Snyder expects to have a fine season.

 on Bridgeport Club

York Americans, Jack Doescher has pitched for Cincinnati and Brooklyn. He was suspended several years ago but in 1911 was reinstated by the na- tional commission because he plead ed that he had wife and family to support.
 Hal Janvrin, the Boston schoolboy, was on third. He is only 19 years old but appears to be a conner. One foot in the fourth and took all the life out of the boy. The Boston Red Sox grabbed Janvrin from a High school team in 1911 and kept him on the bench last season. Pitchers Nc Hale and Mains and Outfielder Myers of the Red Sox are also with the Skeeters.
 Rooters' Row chuckled with glee when Justus went on the rubber. His motion is a cross between the pose of Annette Kellermann. the Diving Ven us, and George M. Cohan's eccentric dance. The Mechanics clipped him for two hits and two runs.
 Gus Sillery, the former Waterbury pitcher, was in the grandstand. He said the Bridgeport club looks pretty strong.
 Manager Tom Connery of the Hart ford club reported yesterday. He says he has bought Pitcher Bill Powers from Mobile. The National Commis- sion awarded Powers to Kewanee, H., but Mobile rescued him from that thriving hamlet Powers won Is and lost 19 during his career with Hol- yoke and Hartford in 1911.

 The Cincinnati Enquirer has the fol- lowing send off for Marsans, last year with New Britain:
 ''The fans are getting to De almost as fond of Marsans as they are of Mike Mitchell. The Cuban has made. a big hit by his timely hitting and his clever fielding and throwing. He gets hold of the ball very quickly out there and knows just what to do with it. At the bat he hits very hard and is dangerous in the pinches, being liable to get his bingles with men on the bases. He is almost as daring and intelligent a base runner as Bob Bes- cher. It is lucky thing that he is on the team, with Mike Mitchell laid up.'
 Tom Downey accepted two fielding chances and cracked out a hit. He also got sacrifice and a stolen base for Philadelphia yesterday
