Quite a rumpuS-

There was quite little muss in the
Phillies- Giants game yesterday, and
from present indications Brennan was a
bit premature In awarding the game to
the Giants II is said that Doom was
forced to move a copper some twenty
feet the day before because Brennan
complained that the light was reflected

see where Brennan can in any way be

Cobb for the Yankees.

The very latest bit Of information
concerning the purchase of Cobb for the
Yankees comes as a surprise Griff' 5
offer for the Detroit star was a piece Of
bunk, and those on the inside know just
what the phony offer amounted to. The
fact that Chance gets Cobb puts an
other light to II, and the announcement
that Grifr was told to keep quiet can
hardly be credited. No such things are
being perpetrated. despite the fact that
people are ready and eager to cry at
the slightest provocation.

Groom does well.

Groom has won his last three out Of
four games, the loss Of the game with
the White Sox not being attributed to
Groom's ineffectiveness, but rather the
fault of the team. Sir Robert is round

that he failed In the early season.
