lore ana one that no lover or base
 ball should miss.
 Few incidents in the career of Ty Cobb ever were given greater publicity than that which involved his spiking of Charlie Herzog in the second game of the Tigers-Giants exhibition series in Dal- las, Texas. in the spring of 1917.
 Stories that came out of Texas con corning that affair pictured Cobb as the culprit; they charged that Cobb had spiked Herzog through anger at being caught in an attempt to steal second base. Some newspaper headlines in New York had it that Cobb madly leaps on his victim and pummels him until po- lice and other players break up the row" And to climax the affair Cobb and Herzog had fist fight the night after the game and anany articles writ ten by New York men made it seem that Herzog had soundly thrashed the Georgian
 Cobb. as many will remember, quit the series the next day. without offering any real explanation of his own part in the affair. His enemies charged that he had run out because of fear of further assault by the Giants. Here is
 
 story that differs radically from any other version that has been printed or told:

And so when the rival teams appeared on the field for the second game the Giants were in rather ugly frame of mind. They began to give us verbal rides. They singled me out as main target for their sarcasm-with Charlie Herzog leading the attack.
 Among other things Herzog insinu- ated that I was yellow; that I'd be afraid to try to steal second with him on the job. He taunted me to the limit. Finally I retorted:
 "'When I get on first, Herzog. I'm going down to second. You can depend on that
 the whole Giant team, tipped off by Herzog, knew that planned to steal on the first ball pitched. As Schupp swung his arm I started for second. The throw was a pitch out Herzog, instead oi waiting on the bag to tag me as I was going in, deliberately took two steps ur the line to meet me. And in doing SC Herzog trespassed on territory that be- longs to the baserunner. 'Herzog had no right on the line-' and he knew it. Yet he had moved for ward to meet me just for the purpose oi | trying to show me up as much as pos sible Hesaimed to block me off the bag so far that it would forestall a slide or
