TIGERS ARE BEATEN
 ON TYRUS COBB DAY
Georgia Fans Honor Great Out
 - fielder at Polo Grounds

New York, June Ply Cobb at the success for the Yankees The Georgia Peach got a lot, of presents and ap- plause, but the Tanks got all the runs, New York beat the Tigers, ! to c, Cobb did his share and delighted the folks who were there from his native state. Ty showed his speed on the bases by beating out a couple of scratch hits, stealing a couple of bases, and accept ing a, base on balls.
 When Tyrus came to bat in the first inning a little lass from Georgia, Miss Mary Brennan, walked out to the plate and presented Ty with a bunch of posies and d leather bill folder with gold edges. Tn the folder was one buck, or simoleon, or washer; you know. a dollar. Then along came two lads lugging a big crate of Georgia peaches. All the Detroit players ga th- cred around the box of fruit and grab bed a handful.
 This crate of peaches may have had a lot to do with the winning of the ball game by the Tanks, The Detroit players probably ate more peaches than were good for them, and this ex- tra weight amidships may have slowed them up. The gem of all the Georgi- ans, Cobb himself. decided that he wouldn't eat any peaches until after the game was over.
