into the crowd at centre field for two

II was one of the greatest hghting
rallies that ever was seen IN the game:
It showed the spirit of the Giants OF
| 1917. Theirs is the fighting heritage OF
/ the old Orioles. But one cannot help
wondering just in what condition these
/ hall plavers will be when they arrive IN
! the big league country il they keep this
( mace. The has been no game like this
! in any world series in many moons.
Cobb Not in Linc-Up
Cobb did not play to-day. He has de-
Z clared that he would not take any FUR
! Their part in the series. HerZog says
that he will be ready TO play tomorrow
! at Wichita Falls. His face IS somewhat
/ bruised still as the result OF the battle
! IN the room with Cobb last night, but
il was not this that kept him out OF the
game to-day One OF the local constsbu'
/ larry who tried TO act as peacemaSer
wrenched Herzog's shoulder while pry'
| ing him away from Cobb.
Some indication as 20 the feeling thst
exists WAS given by Benny Kauf early
/ this morning. Benny appeared IN the
lobby OF the Oriental Hotel with
ST 500 check which he ished 20 posi-
as a forfeit for finish fight with ~
/ Cobb, rough and tumble rules to pre-
vail.
Benny generously offered 70 present
/ the check to any deserving charity IN
| case he failed 20 stop Cobb in ten MIN
utes. II he could not get Cobb for an
antagonist, he offered TO take on any
/ gentleman on the Detroit team. ony
