TY COBB ATTACKED
 BY THREE THUGS.
Suffers Slight Knife Wound in ShouI-
 der as Result of Encounter.

Syracuse. N. T., Aug. 12.-Hughey Jennings and his Detroit Tigers stop ped off here on their way to New York and defeated the Syracuse state league club, to Errors were directly re- sponsfble for the visitors three talIies. Ty Cobb played in left field, despite me fact that he has bad leg, is suffer Ing from hard cold, and has a minor though painful knife wound in his shoulder, received in Detroit when he was attacked by three thugs on the way to the train.
 Cobb was driving his automobile to the station. accompanied by his wife, when three assailants appeared from behind wooden building at the cor ner of Trumbull and Bagg streets and ordered the car to stop.
 The men were partly under the in huence of liquor, and when the ma chine came to stop Cobb tSznted from the ear and began to argue with the men.
 The three then demanded money from the ball player, and with the de- nand all three made a .lunge at Cobb. Cobb attacked the trio and then began a battle royal. One man was knocked down with blow on the chin. and then one of the others saw that they were up against an athlete and began to run, while the third one grabbed Cobb around the neck and the, pair went into a clinch
 While the pair were wrestling about the thug pulled a knife and inflicted a wound in Cobbs back Cobb finally shook off the assadlant before he could cause any further injury.
 Cobb was treated by Dr. F. W. Van Lengen on the arrival Of the Detroit team Two stitches had to be taken.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
HIGHER LEVEL HELD.
PFofas Taking Failed to Make Material
 Effect Upon Advanced Prices. =

New York, Aug. 12-The salient fea- ture of today's stock market hay in the fact that extensive profit taking failed to exercise more than a, slight effect on the higher level attained in the earlier part of the day. Advances were general at the opening and these were extended before mid day with no decided reversal until the final hour, when selling of Reading which had not yet participated appreciably in the rise, caused recessions from the best in most active issues.
 Undoubtedly the promises contain ed in last weeks highly favorable crop report was the most potent factor in today's further advance, even though the stocks that made largest gains were not those which derive greatest benefit from large cereal harvests, Canadian Pacific was the most prom HEent of the grain carriers with an- other high record, which was reflect ed in the strength of its subsidiaries. or the better known grangers St. Paul was strong, recovering a large part of it's Sern1-annual dividend, but Louis Vile and Nashville and Atlantic Coast line gained more than other standard raile1S. Reports of an impending dis tributton to Louisville and Nashville share holders. which would naturally rebound to the advantage of the At fantic Coast line were again circulated.
 United States Steel was most active ef the fndustrials, and while it scored it's best prices of the year, made no very substantial response to last Sat urday's statement of thrilled ton nage," which was somewhat in ex- cess of optimistic forecasts. Copper shares were in better demand, also those of allied concerns including Smelling, while a number of mis- ceIlaneous issues made more or less material gains. including General Chemical which rose 10 points.
 Bonds were active, broad and ir- regular, with some inquiry for con- vert1ble issues. Total sales, par value, S2,509, 900.
 United States government fours de- clined IA per cent on call.

RREsNAHAN PICKS GIANTS.
Believes Cubs Dangerous, But Net
 Coed Enough too Win.

''The Giants ought to win the pen nant." declares Roger Bresnahan. ''They have a good lead and their pitchers are still in winning form. If the Cubs get near enough, however there may be a catastrophe. The Cubs are playing their best game now, and away from home, too. Their pitchers are showing steady improvement and unless there's a sitpUp the team will make a sensational finish. But don't forget that the Cubs will be defeated from time to time and that the Giants will continue to win a majority of their remaining games. McGraw haSn' been extended yet and isn't a bit an noyed.
 With the slump of the Cincinnati Reds just say that the Cardinals are going to pass them in a few days and that we will play hard to beat the Phtladelphias out of fourth place. When We tackle the Giants this week we are going to put up a strong fight Maybe we'll have something to say about the result of the pennant race even though we cannot win 1t our selves"

WILL NEW YORK WIN PENNANT ?|
President Charles w. Murphy Says They Can't Without Un- due Assistance from Other Teams-ImpIies that Bres- nahan Would Lay Down to McGraws Team.

Chicago, Aug. 12-In a statement is- sued today, Charles w Murphy, presi- dent of the Chicago club in the Ma tional league, charged that the New fork team would not win the Nation al league pennant without undue aS- sistance from other teams"
 The statement was issued in regard to a despatch sent from New York Saturday which stated that Roger Bresnahan, manager of the St. Louis club in the National league, was inter ested in a worlds tour planned for the New York club provided the Giants won the championship. In his state ment MT. Murphy says in part:
 T am surprised to see Bresnahan's
 name connected with such an enter prise. It looked at first like a simple
 and harmless plan to pick up a little easy money, and so far as know there had been no opposition to it. "But when they incorporated, be-
 coming a stock selling possibility, and
 using the name of such men as Bres- nahan-manage of team that can help us or hurt us whole lot in the present pennant race-the matter takes an entirely different aspect. "As a matter of fact, the Giants
 haven't won the race, and don't think
 they will win it-without the undue | assistance from other teams.
 "I want to see the Cardinals play l the game against the Giants and play | 1t right up to the hilt. l can hardly believe that Bresnallan would allow himself to be drawn into financial
 scheme whose success might depend entirly upon his own team losing and
 rival team winning. It is contrary to all traditions of baseball
 efrTRf- 4., NTatf 7n1 lao Q must be run out strictly on it's merits.
 Not even a suspicion can be permitted
 to creep into the situation right now" New York, Aug. 12,-Roger Bres-
 nahap, manager of the St. Louis Ma tiona1 League club. had left the city
 at the time of the arrival of the Chi l cago despatch in which Charles w.
 Murphy president of the Chicago club, | was quoted in criticism of Bresna- hans reported interest in a world | tour of the New York Giants and all- American league stars. Bresnahan's 5
 connection with the plan is said here
 to be only that of prospective man | ager of the all-American team.
 In baseball circles Mir Murphy's | declaration that the New York team would not win the National league
 pennant without undue assistance from other teams" was read with sur
 prise. It was pointed out that Bres-
 nahan's club had been playing the
 fastest kind of ball against the Giants, 1 having won five sout of the seven re-
 cent games between the two clubs. It is understood here that the world
 tour. for which a managing company
 was Incorporated at Albany last week, will be undertaken regardless of
 whether the Giants win either the l league or worlds pennant..
