ASKS PROBE into
/ BASE BALL TRUST
Congressman Gallagher Calls for
an investigation.
ATY" COBB CASE IS CAUSE

mony Regarding Salaries PAID ana
Contrasts Existing Between
Players ana Clubs,

Washington, April 23.-Tyrus Ray.
mond Cobb OF Royston. Ga. center
fielder OF ihe Detroit Tigers, leading
bstsman OF the American league last
season and sometimes called the great
est drawing card in baseball, achieved
added fame when he became the direct
means of causing Representative
Thomas Gallagher OF Illinois to intro
duee in the house resolution calling
upon Attorney General McReynolds TO
investigate what the congressman
terms, ''the most audacious and auto
cratic trust IN the world, the Ameri-
can and National leagues of profess
sionai baseball clubs"
'ewtll Ty sign?" has been the ques'
ton pre-eminent among baseball
fans" from the major league grand
stand class to the corner lot school
boy, and never before has the playing
ability and actual worth OF ball play
er been so widely discussed.
Cobb is a "Holdout."
4 Spring ''holdouts" are as regular as
the southern training trips and about
as numerous as the stars who have
shone the previous season. But always
they have settled their difficulties
With the club owners by the time the
season opened That is all except Ty-
rus. He has hitched his chariot to a
S1ss0e0 figure and all other offers are
spurned f~as" '."t
g Every baseball club in the country
would take Cobb in a moment if they
could but reach him.
But the Detroit owners apparently
seel that Ty will play with the Tigers
this year or with nobody.
And baseball law, legislated by the
magnates of the major and minor
leagues and interpreted by the nation
court of baseball, Is such that unless
the Detroit club IL willing to release
Cobb no other club can have his sery-
Ices. " ~

1agber also provides that Speaker
Gark shall have the power to appoint

4 The resolution will be passed on to

through the usual routine hearings and
there Is q strong possibility that it
may never emerge from the commit,

an investigation. - a..s
