unique fondness for Carl Mays, Bos-

in game last season when the Tigers
were playing the Red Sox. With the
famous Tyrus at the bat Mays let four
fast ones fling by Cobb's head. They
came SO close that Cobb figured Mays
was throwing at him, and the peppery
Georgian hurled his bat at the Red Sox
pitcher. Cobb wasn't sure that Mays
was deliberately trying to knock his
can off, but he made pretty fair guess,
since Mays recently admitted that he
was doing his best to beat the Geor-
