BLEACHER BUGS
Famous Player Has Received
Many Knocks,

DETROIT, Mich Dec 5.-The, case. Of
T. Raymond Cobb is the yarn that when
ever IA bird raises his head above tho
level OF the Ivory league every owner OF
"A solid dome within knocking distance
reaches up and takes a crack at him.
II its Iust an ordinary, every day
hard boiled egg with an asphalt atlic'
he painfully rds himself OF four bits ana
tries to lose his left lung by shouting
plain every day cuss words at the Geor-
lia Ppnch from the bleacher boards; II
the crane hanger in question has IA trlne
more intelligence or money he praises
1y In reverse English or pays rs mucn
AS one bone for a leather cushioned
space In the upper pavilion.
Johnny EVers Unpopular.
Such is the psychology OF the natlon"
game and II you think. We don't Know,
ask Johnny Evcrs. Tho Human Gran
was out barking In every game ana lhe
result WAS he was Just as popular as mo
proverhinl paralysis. Critics threw enough
dirt ON him to m the Culebra cut
But II seems to US that 1y has had

when II comes TO grace, and Ty spiked
| him. there were Rngulshed hleats 10 the
effect that Cobb WAS not as clean az
CASTLE soap,
The same farce was pulled off when
cobb repeated on Jack Barry and Charles
HerZog Whether II was TVS iault II not

| What rs more, we wouldn't trust the
| majority Of those who were right on the
I Job when Cobb pulled the surgeons trick,
| the simple reason being, OF course lnhI
any NJ u. will tell you that 30 percent
OF the people can't see straight ana the
other 10 weren't looking.
