The Polo Grounds were in an uproar
all afternoon when the crowd started
to take exception to statement which
The Associated Press attributed to
Tyrus Raymond Cobb These state
ments were to the arrangement of
Carl Mays, the unlucky pitcher who
was fated to throw the ball that re-
suited in the death of Ray Chapman.
Cobb seemed completely taken back by
the outburst and denied Indignantly
that he ever spoke against Mays or
that he proposed or concurred in the
cowardly boycott against the Inflated
Yankee pitcher.
Cobb Center of Storm
There was no way of getting this
information to the crowd, SO the boo
ing and the kissing were violent every
time Cobb came to bat. This reused
Cobb's belligerency and he exchanged
some sharp repartee with the crowd by
the Detroit dugout He was surround
ed by growing mob as he left the
field, but Cobb, who rather enjoys be-
Ing storm center, walked off the
field slowly and deliberately. The
crowd fingered around the visitors

president of the Yankees, that nobody
had any right to assume that the

The first storm seemed to daze Cobb
because of its bitterness and he lmme-
diately sought the cause 81 won't

The Yankees certainly hit the bottom
of the bottomless pit yesterday, and
are due for prompt rebound, for they
can never again be equally as bad or
worse than they were yesterday Rip
Collins started for them, and was going
beautifully, when Dcnie Bush hit out a
nome run with one on. 1t may or may
not be the first home run he ever got
in his life, but home runs with Bush
are so infrequent that the shock of
this novelty appeared to affect the
pitching of Rip, the two-gun gent from
Texas. Rip was yanked later, Mogridge
went IN to suffer for while, and then
Bob McGraw was pried loose from the
bench for the last rites.
The Yanks were not hitting Mr.
Dauss; therefore, they looked terrible
for there is no more terrible sight
under the sun than the Yanks when
they are not hitting. Babe Ruth got
not even a single. He did hoist one
over the roof of Brush Stadium, but it
was several feet foul and he was co
notified by Mr.. Nallin after he had
walked all around the field.
Murderers in Slumber
The Daussing to death of the Yankees
was long and tedious process, and if
it had not been for the vociferous be-
stowal of the order of the raspberry
on Mr.. Ty Cobb and light intermit-
tent downpour, making sleep difficult a
lot of the customers might have taken

The Tigers, who looked so toothless
at the start of the season, commenced
to chaw the Yanks pensively in the
third, when Young got base on balls.
Then Bush got his home run into the
right field stands, putting across the
first two runs. The visitors got two
more in the fourth, when Shorten
started with crack to center and Ping
Pinell, the less wonderful wop of
FliverVille, beat a hit TO first Dams G
