.TY COBB MEANS
BUSINESS FOR SURE
OF DETROIT
STAR SAYS TYRUS WANTS
THAT $4,000.
buffalo Enquirer)

Detroit, Mich, Feb. 2rTy Cobb is
in earnest in his demands for the $15,-
600 Cor whatever the figure may be)
per year salary which President Ma
Lombard of Detroit, Cobb's brother
in-laW.
Lombard had a letter from Ty this
week in which the greatest of them
all assured his wife's brother that he
was serious in his demands.
Lombard is just as communicative
about Tvs business as Ty himself is.
When asked if he were sure that 49,
600 was the price that Cobb was ask
ing for his years services, Mr.. Lom-
bard assured the Questioner that that
figure was within four or five thou
sand of it. A broad wink was fnclud-
ed with the answer. all for nothing.
The knowledge of real moment gain
ed from Ty's relat was that Cobb
is not playing to the grandstand in
his demands. He is evidently informs
ing his closest friends that he Is de-
ing. Furthermore, Ty isn't allowing
himself to be influenced by any SEN
timent or waving of pennants or that
sort. of stuff. As has been stated
right now is the time for him to make
his greatest effort for fabulous sal
airy.
He realizes that at any time a brok-
en- ankle, a beaned head or something
of that sort may put him out of the
game for good. He doesn't care about
geIIlng the largest salary pa1o q play
er in baseball just because it is the
largest, as some have averred, but
he wants the coin that he can lay

Don't ask me what Ty intends to
do,'' said Mr.. Lombard, 81 never know
one day what he going's to do the
next. Besides I doubt if he would tell
me, anyway. I do know that he will
get all he can from the Detroit club in
the future as he has done in the past.

ASK WAIVERS
ON CLYDE ENGLE
RED sox TO GET RID OF VETER-
AN UTILITY MAN.

Boston, Feb. 25-Manager Jake Stah1
of the Boston Red Sox has asked for
waivers on Clyde Engle. his utility in
fielder, and if all the big league clubs
concur the man who hit the famous
fly that Sondgrass muffed, which
muff helped the Red Sox to the pen
nant enabIematic of the Worlds Cham
pionship, will be retired to the ranks
of the smaller leagues.
The action of the Boston manage
ment in trying to let Engle out is
surprising as he has done good work
here. Not long ago Manager Stahf
was credited with saying that Clyde
was the best utility man in either
league, and something must have hap
pened to change his opinion, in so
short time. Engle's record since he
has been with Boston-1e figured in a
trade with the Highlanders several
years ago-has been very good.
1t was also announced today that
the Worlds Championship flag will
be raised in Fenway Park on June %,
agement, of Frank Chance, VIII be the
opponents of the Red Sox. The
American League championship PEN
naf1t will be flung to the breeze for
the first time June 8, when the
Chicago White Sox will be the visitors
in the home of the Red Sox.
1t was also announced today that
the Boston National League team will
play in the Fenway park on April 10
and May 90 Both dates are holidays
and the American League folk thought
would be too great to handle in the
old Boston park and so offered the
new grounds to the National
Leaguers.

the time is fast approaching when
regular tournaments will be held in

church gymnasiums-
There are some young minis
tiers who even now believe in having
boxing bouts for their young men,
knowing that it keeps them around
their own neighborhood instead of
having them seek the same amuse-
ment away from home. There are
many states in the west and middle
west where bills are pending in the
legislatures to legalize boxing, prac-
ticalIy all the bills being patterned
after the F,rawIey law of New York
state. Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota,
Michigan, Ohio, Nebraska, and several
eastern states have all Joined the list
with bills to 1egalfze the sport. Some
of the most prominent men in the
various states, not. men seeking Of
fees or anything of that kind, but
sound business men, have come out
openly in favor of such measure,
claiming that it is far better to have
boxing conducted properly and under
the jurisdiction of the authorities,
than to have boys induIging in old
time prize fights in barns and cellars,
where they are liable to be hurt, and

MANY STATES ARE ANXIOUS FOR
AN UP-TO-DATE BOXING LAW

where the police cannot see them.
Charles Harvey, secretary of the New
York state boxing commission, who
has had an opportunity the past two
years to judge the merits of the law,
in a letter to the writer recently said:
1--WE have been receiving applications
from all over the country for copies
of the Frawley law on boxing, and it
strikes me that the people are just
beginning to find out that there is
such a law and that it works to the
benefit of the sport well to the
people. This sentiment which we hear
SO much about, has passed away and
people now realize that boxing is a
business the same as baseball is a
busin The boxers sell their skill
the same the baseball players do
for money-and the promoters invest
their money with the object of a profit
on their investment, which is also true
of the men who put their money into
baseball plants and teams.
E'A1I this talk about boxers fighting
for glory, the same as they did in the
olden times, is ridiculous. Would the
baseball players work for the ball
clubs for glory? Not on your life!
Well, it is just the same with boxers.
They are just as clever in their line
as baseball players are in theirs, and
from my past experience boxing is
Just clean a sport as any of thems
and Will say 1t IS a much better exer-
else than. most of them. The fact
that in New York city alone last year
over 100000 in taxes was paid into
the state treasury from the five per
cent. taken from the receipts at box
ing shows, gives a pretty fair idea of
how popular the sport is To my way
of thinking boxing Will become more
popular than most of the sports all
over the country in time and it will
be localized, too
Mr. Harvey is also interested in
move to bring about an international
board to control boxing, the same as
athletics are controlled by the A. A.
u. in this country and A. A A., in
England. This movement was in
augurated by the writer and by the
Sporting Life of London about six
years ago. It is badly needed and
would do lot toward helping the
boxing game throughout the world

of Lowell then. Gray didn't want to
part with McGamweIl but said he was
afraid he couldn't sign him this year
at the reduced salary limit which the
New England league found necessary
to adopt. Gray has been trying ever
since then to get McGamwel1 to ac-
cept a reduction in salary but the
player refused to stand for cut.
OF course Gray could have suspend
ed McGamwelI but that would have
meant a loss for the club so Manager
Mccain was notified that Lowell was
willing to do business for the first
baseman. No time was lost by the
Bridgeport management and the deal
was soon clinched. The next step will
be to sign McTamwell to a local con-
tract. No difficulty is expected, how
ever. for Bridgeport is willing to pay
him the right salary. The papers in
the deal have been sent to Secretary
Farrell so McGamWelI belongs to
Bridgeport even if he doesn't sign.

day when Manager Mccain announc-
ed that the Bridgeport club has pur-
chased First Baseman Ed Mccain
we'll from Lowell of the New Eng

garded as star and will greatly
strengthen the team. Last year he hit
1907 for Lowell in 90 games. He made
100 safetise of which Is were two
baSgers. four triples and four home
runs. He stole Is bases.
McGamwe1l is no untried youn gster
