Pen-May Not Sign for
Several Days

Ty Cobb, the Detroit Tiger holdout,
was in the city this morning, but
failed to make an early trip to the
baseball headquarters to see Frank
Navin, president of the Detroit club.
Cobb is evidently In no hurry to
sign up and get the agony through
with. The idea that has been preva-
lent that his signing was mere mat
ter OF his coming here and seeing
President Navin, he quickly dispelled.
He refuses to say whether he will re-
iterate his demand for $4,000 year
but he intimates that he Is not going
to sign at any figures that might hap
pen to be placed before him.
