NAvN DECLARES TY COBB WILL HAVE TO COME TO
TIME-LEAoUE PUTTING BRAKES ON GREAT PLAYER

that he is the greatest ball player in
the world.
II believe the public. which sup
ports baseball, as You say, is entitled
to the best, so long as it is willing to
pay for It, If the Detroit Club and
Cobb cannot agree. won't you sell or
trade Cobb to some team which
would pay what he asks? The public
doesn't care who pays his salary, but
it does want to see him in action"
"Ty Cobb will not be sold he will
not be traded" responded Navin,
with click of his jaws. He will
play for the Detroit Club or not at
all. | am through. There has been
too much talk already. If Cobb
comes here and signs for what he has
been offered he can play at once, but
the Detroit club will not recede one
inch. This is final. l pass from now
on"
Rumors that Cobb will be traded to
the New York or Philadelphia Amer
lean League clubs will scarcely hold
water. Ii is evident the American
League is determined to stand behind
the Detroit Club and make an ex-
ample of Cobb-not only to punish
Cobb. but to put the brakes on play
ers who have the temerity to de-
mand more money than the club
owners think they are worth.
The whole thing in a nutshell is
that the public wants Cobb, because
he is liable to do anything from re-
fusing to sleep in the room assigned
him at the hotel to stealing home
while the pitcher holds the ball-and
scoring the run that wins the game.
Navin says that with winning
team-a championship team-Cobb is
worth more than with loser. He
supports this with figures to prove
that last year the Tigers on the road
in 1912 failed to draw within thou
sands of what they drew when they
were winning pennants, and this, he
says, proves that it is a winning COM
bination. not wonderful individuals,
the public wants.

COBB TELLS OWN SIDE OF HIS GREAT HOLD OUT"
BASEBALL'S SENSATION OF THE 1913 SEASON

was always in there working over
time, as everyone will attest 1 con-
slider that my services have been I'M
appreciated to some extent.
Possibly Mr.. Navin forgets my
work on the championship teams of
1907-S-9, when l worked for a mere
pittance-being paid $1,000 in 1907 and
$4,000 in 1908 and 1909.
I am not only willing but anxious
to confer with the Detroit MANAGE
ment, and the moment we can agree
l am willing to report and play good
ball. am in condition to jump into
the game.
The statement that l consider my
self greater than baseball is scarcely
called for. ! certainly have no such
impression; but l do know what
will play ball for. 1 think I have
made my position clear, and see no
reason for continued controversy.

Especial TO the Newark stnr.l
DETROIT, Mich. April Ely
Cobb will not be sold, he will not be
traded; he will play ball for the De-
troit club or not at ALL
Such is the position of the Detroit
ball club, as stated &c me by Presi-
dent Frank Navin in his office at Ma
vim field.
I came to Detroit to get at the bot
tom of the Cobb story" just now of
absorbing interest to every baseball
fan in the country Whether Cobb
will play is of more interest to the
fan than the looping off of duty on
wood and sugar.
do | understand that you will drive
Cobb out of baseball?" I asked Presi-
dent Navin.
mo; 1 want Cobb to play, but l
want him to play with the Detroit
club" he answered.
Suppose Cobb continues to refuse
to play at your figures. Will you
fight it out along the same line if it
takes all summer Are you willing
to risk the temper of the public?"
THE Detroit public is with the De-
troit club in this The fans believe
Cobb's demands are out of reason.
The public doesn't care so much for
one player as it does for a combina-
ton of winners.
II do not mean that Cobb is not a
great attraction, but Cobb cannot
make Detroit a winner, and that's
what the public wants. If 1 can put
a winning combination upon the field
without Cobb, the public will be sat
isfied.
at is not the individual player, it is
not the club owner that counts, but
the game. The public demands a
winner, no matter whose personality
makes winning possible. And the
public's money makes baseball"
Mr.. Navin," I said, "presuma bly,
the difference between yourself and
Cobb is one of dollars. Granting that
Cobb has been an egotistical boy. a
swell-headed kid, the fact remains

settle my differences with President
Navin, although | would willingly

team if I could get the salary ask

WEiNERT TOO
MUCH FOR
KILLER
Adams, Baum, Gardner, Knecht
and McFadden Among Other
Troxler's Winners.

Young Weinert, the Orange middle
weight, beat Fred Kibler, of Irving
ton, in the main four-round bout at
the Central Institute last night.
Weinert won all the way, especially
in the final round, when he had his
opponent pretty well used up. Vein
ert used a left Jag which Kibler failed
to stop and which also forced the lat
ter to a corner whenever the Orange
lite began The bouts preceding the
principal go furnished a lively time
for the good crowd that was on hand.
Teddy Adams beat Joe Geiger in an
interesting four-round bout. The for
mer outweighed his opponent by eight
or ten pounds. Fred Massey's strong
finish earned him a draw with Den
mis- McFadden. The latter worked
a left jab in the first two rounds to
good advantage, but Massey was back
in the remaining two. The bout be-
tween Arthur Common and Young
Frenchy was stopped in the third
round after both had come together
head-on. The former. who was lead
ing at the time, received a cash over
the right eye in the clash
Young Gardner earned the decision
over Young Broad, although the lat
ter was the stronger at the finish.
Young Baum handed Young Indian
such an artistic lacing that the bout
was stopped in the third round. Cy
Parker and Young Wigand went
through four light rounds with hon
ors favoring Cy. Young Knecht was
a trihe too strong for Mike Bendel,
and Bob Russell and Young Dundee
went four lively sessions to a draw.
Carl Victor, Billy Proctor's promis-
ing lightweight, will stack up against
Jack Dobbs in the main bout next
week. Young Cardell, of Montclair,
will meet Marty Macdonald, of this
city. in another bout.

Evans Says He Never Saw
British Golfers Practising

"In all my wanderings about the
British Isles and at all the tourna-

clares Chick Evans
"Of course, | have seen a man
swing his clubs time and again, with
out hitting the ball, before starting

then another club and so on; or go

"The Englishman seems never to
