MRS. TY COBB NOT
FOND OF L|MEL|GHT
Gives Her Sole Attention to
Two Children and ShunS
Publicity.

DETROIT, May Mrs. Tyrus Cobb
is the mother of two charming children,
rather than the wife of the worlds
greatest baseball player.
Mrs. Cobb dislikes the publicity and
fanfare that always casts n glamour
around her famous husband. She keeps
as far as possible from the limelight
that is constantly seeking Tyrus.
She is n very patient little woman
who has her time taken up completely
with the two little Cobbs-Tyrus jr.
and Shirley.
Tyrus is a bright, active little fellow.
with brick-red hair and large, bashful
blue eyes. Shirley is another blue-eyed
tot with flaxen hair. She is just as
much of a little lady as Tyrus jr. is a
little man.
When the family is gathered around
the table eating. Tyrus sits in high
chair next to his mother. while Papa
Ty takes care of Shirley. The family
naturally attract a great deal OF atten-
ton.
Mrs. Cobb favors baseball and she
sees all the games she can. Her chief
delight is to see Ty stealing home.

George s. Ward personally is not
prejudiced against SundaT baseball
But his brother. Robert +, is. And
Robert 3. is president Of the club,
George s. Ward realizes as 1eenly as
any shreWd business man possibly
could that his brothers scruples injure
the whole league with the Tip Tops
But he is willing TO sacrifice personal
profit to his kinsman's principle.
The politics of baseball will be left
strictly to others. SO far as the Ward
brothers are concerned. Both these
men seem to have absolute and blind
faith in James A. Gilmore, the presi-
dent of the Federal League.
IF Mr.. Gilmore and his advisers de-
eide upon any circuit change We will
