COBB COMES HERE
MONDAY TOPOUND
GRIFFS' HURLERS
~ LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Ty Cobb will be here Monday, &C.
companied by a number of assistants
from Detroit, all seeking to shove
the Griffmen down, down, down into
the Vastly deep. Four games are
scheduled for the first four days Of
the week, the st. Louis Brownies fol-
lowing the ferocious felines into the
GeorGia avenue confines.
Connie Mack and Hughey Jennings
had expected to play at Detroit to-
morrow, asking the consent Of Man
ager Griffith and Lee Foil to hold
open dates on Monday, with double
headers on Tuesday. The Old Fox
replied to Jennings, but has never
heard Of the matter since. Conse-
quently he will line his young men
up against the Tigers here Monday.
Had the Tigers gone home for .
Sunday game, It would have been i'm
possible for them to have arrived
here in time to play Monday or for
the Mackmen TO get home in time
to meet the Indians.
Play At Cleveland.
The GPitfmen will play the Indians
at Cleveland tomorrow. This game
has been transferred from Washing
ton to take advantage OF an idle
Sunday date where thousands of fans
turn cut to see ball games on their
day Of rest
Joe Boehling can hang around Lee
Foil for another week or 80 now. He
won q game from the Griffmen, even
though he didn't perform to the very
end. He removed his smiling morn
ing face from the ball yard in the
sixth inning Of the irst game, but he
had disposed Of the enemy. Otis Lam
beth. q promising youngstsr, went
through TO the end In happy fashion.
The score was to 2.
BoehIlnE On Trial
Boehling was on trial Yesterday. He
has done very little work for the
Cleveland club this season, and Lee
Fohfs patience was about exhausted.
He communed with Boehling. He sug-
gested ways and means for his eradi-
cation from the Indians' payroll and
from the league itself. NOW go in
and show you've got something. or be
ready to slide into oblivion, missed
FohL
Joe showed.
Four bingles were collected of
Boehling's twirling, two OF them two
baggers by Joe Judge. who was en-
3oying himself Immensely. But one
pass was handed out, Judge getting
that.
when BoehIfnE vanished It was
whispered that he has q lame leg
There wasn't much the matter with
his curve ball, though That didn't
look very lame.
Morton Fell Down.
Guy Morton also had a trial, his
coming in the second game. The
GrifImen knocked him on the rubber
IN the fourth inning. He wasn't hit
30 very hard, but he was woefully
Wild and everything.
Fritz Coumbe followed Morton to
the mound and shaved through q sub
marine attack by the U-Shanks in the
sixth and then gave way TO a pinch
hitter In the eighth. Gould finished
the battle, but the Griffmen were on
the long end, to 2.
The Indians touched up Bert Gallia
for a run in each OF the first three IN
nings Of the opening clash and then
ceased. The home boys were never
able to get more than two. Result:
Victory for the Indians.
shaw Has Iron Dogs
Jim Shaw climbed the hill in the sec
end game and proved himself the
owner of iron dogs. Speaker ham,
mered q sizzling liner right back at the
Pittsburgh Rabbit Hunter. Shaw
caught It on the right dog. limped
around. let DR.. Martin gaze at the
metal bones inside OF his shoe, stood
UP, did a wee Jig dance and then went
in and held the enemy helpless until
the very last inning. 1t must be great
TO have iron dogs.
Menosky's double and Judges single
gave the GTiffmen a run in the third.
Three walks, sacrifices by Zeb Milan
and Ed Charity and Ainsmith's clean
single to center added two more to
the total in the fourth.
Judges walk, an out. and Wamby's
error gave the home boys their fourth
run in the seventh. Shanks double, a
sacrifice, and an out sent Shanks
across with the last run in the eighth.
