Cobb Won't Manage Tigers

WHERE there's smoke you always find fire. and for
w that reason all of the talk about making change in
the management of the Detroit club must taken scri
ousy. Reports have been from Detroit day
stating that Hughy Jennings would retire in favor of Ty
Cobb, only to be vehemently denied the This has
happened several times and everybody is waiting
the blow off.
Because of Iris Speakers playing manager
OF the Cleveland club, Cobb has been mentioned time and
again as Jenningss successor. However, have it on
good authority that Tyrus the Great will have nothing
do with it, He is said have been offered lob three
weeks ago with big boost in salary but turned down

TOWNSEND HAS
CHANCE FOR : TITLES
Merton Tennis Star Among Favorites in Singles Doubles
and Mixed Doubles in Pennsylvania and Eastern
States ournament-Semifnals on Today
BY SPICK HALL,

TT ISN'T often that one person wins
three titles in single tournament.
1t has been done. Mrs. Frank Mallory
performed the feat couple Of times
when she was Miss Molla Bjursted, but
il is as rare as day in June. But
because it is rare does not alter the
fact that Miss Ann Il. Townsend, of
the Merton Cricket Club. has an excel
lent chance to put over this scarce bit of
lawn tennis supremacy.
At the present time Miss Town
send is in the wOmcn's tourney for the
championship of Pennsylvania and
eastern states in the singles, doubles
and mixed doubles. That is. she is still
in. Many began but the survivors have
been few. 1t is true that Miss Molly
Thayer is also still in the three events,
but according to form, Miss Townsend
has slight edge on her doubles partner
for capturing the three titles.
In the singles Miss Townsend has to
depend upon herself and she has fine
partner in this event. In the doubles
she has Miss Thayer and again she has
good teammate: In the mixed
doubles, all she has is Wallace F.. John
son, member of the first ten. interna-
tionalist and everything. Otherwise she
is without support in the mixed event.
Not only that but next week Miss
Townsend is going to Wilmington to
defend her singles title in the Delaware
state championship and it is possible
that. as Miss Thayer also is going, she
may pick up couple more crowns
there, which would give her only five
within the snace of seven days. Not so
bad for a Main Liner.
This afternoon the real tests for the
championship begin. Miss Thayer is
pitted against Miss Phyllis Walsh, of
the Philadelphia Country Club. If we
are to Judge by what both have done
during the spring. Miss Thayer should
win. but Miss Walsh plays high speed
game at times. and there is really no
foreseeing the result. Che only way to
dope it out is to ask the scorekeeper
after the match is over.
Yesterday Miss Walsh reached the
semifinals by winning twice. Her first
victory was over Miss Peggy Ferguson,
whom she put out of the tournament in
straight sets, 6-3, 60. Her last singles
| effort of the afternoon came when she
won by the same score from Mrs. J. s.
Disston. Jr. In neither match did Miss
Walsh have to exert herself, although
her opponents We're far from mediocre.
Hence it is evident that she is out to
give Miss Thayer a hard struggle.
Miss Townsend's victory over Mrs.
w. p. Newhall, Germantown Cricket
Club, was simply repetition of what
