WASHINGTON, April 20.-Tyrus
Raymond Cobb, the leading citizen of
the South, from April LIST to October
LIST, according to the best belief of
several millions of fans, is about to be-
come a national issue.
The recent exhibition of stubborn
ness on the part of the Georgia
Peach" with regard to affixing his sig
nature to a Detroit contract, and the
fact that under the rules of organized
baseball Tyrus will have either to ac-
cept the meager salary of Sl2,500 for
six months work-all that an asso-
ciate justice Of the United States Su-
preme court gets for twelve months
labor--or take up some other vocation,
has stirred the soul of Representative
Thomas w. Hardwick, of Georgia.
Ty is a constituent of Hardwick.
and when President Navn's persistent
refusal to pay Tyrus s 5000 year
was brought to his attention he went
to the question with all the avidity of
a terrier at rat hole.
TO Investigate Baseball.
Representative Hardwick, it is
promised will introduce very shortly
a resolution calling for an investiga
ton by the house of the facts sur
rounding, not only Cobbs contract,
but the restrictive practices of or
ganized baseball of the nation as
represented in the national commits
sion of the two great leagues, and
ali the little ones.
More than year ago Representa-
tive Thomas Gallagher was obsessed
with the idea that baseball ought to

resolution calling for thorough
nrebp of the situation The resolution
recited that congress was desirious TO
investigate and secure Information to
dissolve trusts or Illegal combinations
in restraint of trade and the liberties
of the American people. That was in
March, and seemingly the congress
was more interested just then in the
American league than the American
people, and the resolution was permit
ted to slumber in the committe on
ruls
Snator Smith Interested.

Cobb for a constituent, is beginning

Many Of TVS friends have been writ
