Rutledge Osborne, the 17-year-old
Wofford College student. who had a
rough and tumble fist fight with Ty
Cobb. the baseball player in a Green
Vile hotel Monday. today admitted
that he tried to shoot Cobb.
In a signed statement Osborne told
of an alteration which he had with
Cobb here last Saturday, when Cobb's
transformers crossed bats with Wof-
ford. After the game he was told, he
says, that Cobb had threatened Dto
get" him when the two teams played
in GreenVille on Monday. To protect
himself he9borrowed a pistol and car
ried it with him. They met in the
hotel elevator
cobb asked me- says Osborne.
III / was not the guy that tried to
get fresh with him. He grabbed me
by the collar and pulled me into his
room. Cobb told me to apologize
or he would beat the life out of me
He struck at me and l drew the gun.
This made him release me, but Cad
Coles slipped up behind me and
wrenched the gun from my hand.
Cobb then jumped on me and beat ffe
up considerably.
In the meantime, ii is said, Os-
borne's college friends learned what
was happening and went to his as
sistance. but Cobb kept them at bay
with the pistol.
