President Frank ]. Farrell OF the New
York Americans could not be found In his
usual haunts yesterday. which gave rise
to n rumor that he had left town to nego-
tiate an important trade. For many
weeks the owner of the New Yorks has
been trying desperately to land couple
of hitters, but none OF his rivals would lis
ten TO any terms even for their utility
material
Gossip yesterday connected Mr.. Farrell
with an attempt to wean Ty Cobb from
Hughie Jennings Two weeks ago a
million dollars would not have bought the
Georgia Pcach's release from Detroit.
That club might as we'll have locked its
gates as to dispose of the batting king.
A change IN conditions has resulted, how
ever, from Tys recent escapado in which
he assaulted Il butcher and broke his hand
In the process.
The patrons Of the Detroit team blame
Ty for the present slump of the Tigers.
who have won but one game In eight since
their slugger put himself out of commits
sion. The newspapers Of that city have
ralted up a number OF former TRANSFERS
sions of Cobbs in an attempt TO prove to
the infamcd populaco that Cobb. like Hal
Chase, has been an evil influence among
his associates on the Tiger tesm. Cobb
has lost a great deal OF his popularity as
a result Of his latest fiGht. He makes no
attempt TO cloak tho fact that he Is morti-
fed at his position and would welcoHe
change OF scene.
II is known that Cobb has asked
President Nsvin to trade him to some
other city. but Ty has steadfastly declared
that he had no intention of jumping his
contract with the Tigers II is sig
nificant fact. however. that Cobb WAS re-

A Gilmore OF the Federal League in Buf-
falo yesterday. Gilmore has said for the
last month that he would have this player
with the outlaws at the beginning OF next
season. The last time he was In New
York Gilmore said that he had been in
negotiation with Ty and that Ty had re-
fused 10000 to allow Detroit to scratch
the ten DAYS option OF release clause from
his contract.
Detroit might be influenced 10 part with
its most wonderful player, hut only To
save him TO organized baseball. Such a
player would benefit the Federal League
more than half a dozen ordinary stars II
