TY COBB DEPARTS
WITHOUT SIGNING
CONTRACT FOR 1918
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispa tch to The Star.
DETROIT, October 29.-Tyrus r.
Cobb. bright particular star Of the
Tigers and of the base ball firma-
ment in general, has left for the
south to spend the winter without
signing contract for 1913.
The Peach and President Navin
did not make any very serious ef-
fort to get together on the contract
proposition, both men conceding
that there is plenty of time before
next spring to adjust things.
Whether Cobb has officially in
formed the club president of his
terms cannot be learned. but 1t is
generally believed that $4,000
year and contract for three years
are the things the Georgian has
set his mind on.
1.-THE Detroit base ball club Is
not the Standard Oil Company"
said Mr.. Navin in an informal dis
cussion Of the contract matter. Il
know what we can pay Ty with
out bankrupting the club and I do
not intend to go any higher. I do
not care to make public our maxi
mum figure
II figure that I am worth the
raise that I request" declared
Cobb, land I mean to get the
money while I am going well. If
the club will not meet my terms
1 will stay out Of the game. for I
have several propositions that look
attractive and believe that I can
make a lot of money outside Of the
diamond. I have been offered $780,
600 year by New York firm to
buy cotton in the south and also
have under consideration a scheme
to organize an Independent ball
club and play in the southern
states. I am not worrying, for I
shall not starve whichever way
the cat Jumps"

BY ]. ED GRILLO.

Worlds series receipts have reached
such proportions that it is most likely
different plan from the one now
in vogue will be adopted governing the
division Of the enormous fund. It is
argued that the players are getting too
much money out of the series, and sew
eral suggestions have been made to
change the present system.
Chairman Hermann Of the commission
believes it would be a good plan to ar
range a fixed amount for the players OF
the contending teams. say $1,000 each for
the winners and $3.50 for the losers,
these amounts to be taken from the
go per cent Of the first four games and
the remainder to be divided equally
among the players of the other fourteen
teams of the two major leagues. Such an
ARRANGEMENT would meet with favor
among the players, of that there Is no
doubt. The players of the winning teams
might let out a howl, but they would be
in the minority and would be overruied
by those of the other teams.
It would be a splendid thing for the
ball PLAYERS on the whole if they derived
some sort of benefit from the Worio 5
series. 1t Is only small percenlase "
players who ever have the opportunity 70

greatest players the game has ever de-
veloped have gone through long career
without ever being on winner, ana the
Hermann plan would give such payer
la chance to receive a reward Tor thelr
good work.
The big series has grown to such an
extent that it has become dangerous.
There is now too much money ihVoIVeu,
and such conditions always start rumors
of collision because there is an incentive
ybor there iS lot OF money
at stake.
Horace Fogers contention that the Ma
tional League does not have 1urlsdictl0n
in case such as he Is involved IN Is az
surd. The very preamble Of the const-
tuition of the old league provides Tor just
such contingencies by stating that one OF
the objects of the league is to safeguard
base ball. Surely some action must pe
taken when a member Of the organization
is charged with having cast rehectlon on
the honesty Of the sport. There Is not
room in base ball for any one VINO Would
maliciously make such charges. Fogel-
according to evidence which the league
claims to haye-made a statement over
his own signature that the last pennant
race was crooked in that the umpires ia
vored the New York club so that it might
win the pennant Such charges cannot De
allowed to pass unnoticed. If Fogel is
guilty he should be ousted from the
league. If he can prove what he is said
to have charged. then others should be
punished Public sentiment would give
the league Jurisdiction in such an event.
even If the very law under which the
league operates did not provide for 1t.

the satisfaction Of the committee Of base
