Dentists Wife Tells Dramatic
Story Of Eight Mcnths'
Degradation as Pris-

Washington, Jan. 5.-A dramatic
story of eight months hardship and
degradation as a prisoner in a. Mex
lean bandit camp was told by Mrs
Cora Lee Sturgis, Virginian, be
fore a senate committee investigat-
ing the Mexican situation.
| With tears in her eyes Mrs. Stur-
gis told how her old mother, worn
out by long suffering and humilia-
ton, died of starvation after their
plantation had been looted by the
bandits and how she had been forced
to go into the hills to cut wood and

"Americans~~were perfectly safe
under Diaz," she said. 1--WE had no
trouble under Madero, because the
people liked him. We had no trou-
bic with Huerta, and folks in my
part of the country-Chiapas-hard-
ly knew of him. Our first trouble
was in 1915 when Carranza sent
troops to our section to drive away
the help. As a result we lost big
crops, right on the eve of the har-
vest" * :.
1t was nearly two years later that
the home of the Sturgis family, COM
prising DR.. StNrgis, dentist, his
wife, the witness today, and her
mother, was raided by federal sol
diers, who charged them with giving
refuge to rebels.
Two of the captains and lot OF
soldiers came to Our home and
threatened us with guns" Mrs. Stu,-
gis testified. when my husband
protested and reminded the bandits
that we were Americans, they pushed
him aside and laughed, saying, ..your
old government is only bluff They
found no rebels, but they were not
satisfied and wanted to search the
roof, insisting that l 60 up with
them. l told them l was an Ameri-
can, not a roof climber, but they
struck me on the shoulder with a
gum"
DR.. Sturgis reported the raid to
the American consul at Frontero
who advised the family to remain a;

II did the Detroit club a great
turn back in 1905, but it wasn't ap-
preciated as far as | was concerned.
The Detroit club trained in Augusta

spring training season. | won IS
out of "a that year, so I-don't think
Augusta got cheated on that end.
On the Augusta club with me was
Ty Cobb, just breaking in as bush
Lacquer He looked like a Conner
to me. He was as fast as lightning
and, while, not a finished fielder,
could go long way to get a ball
While not great hitter then, he had
a slashing style that impressed me.
However, the thing that made the
biggest hit with me was his restless
ambition. He was always on his
toes, always taking wild chances
that no other player would have
thought of doing, always trying to
outguess the opposition. He has re-
tanned that characteristic through his
career. | had seen enough OF ma
jor league base. ball to believe Cobb
had great chance to make good. I
wrote the Detroit club several let
tiers praising Cobb and before the
close of the season an option was
taken on his services, and he shortly
afterwards became big Lacquer.
Cobb made good from the start,
and figured my good dope on him
might win me chance with the Ii

Who discovered Ty Cobb?

VINO discovered ~ Lo0D!
That may strike you as strange
question, since Cobb has been ma
jor league star about IS years.
Personally, / thought the matter
had been settled years ago. 1t was
my impression that the honors were
about equally divided between Bill
Armour, who managed the Detroit
club in 1905, when Cobb came up
and Con Strouthers. who was man
aging the Augusta club, on which
Cobb got his start.
Sitting on the Chicago bench last
summer, | was discussing Cobb with
Eddie Cicotte, star pitcher of the
White Sox. The day previous Cobb
had put on one of his copyrighted
exhibitions, which means he starred
in the field, at the bat, on the bases
and just about single-handed made
Tiger victory possible.
He surely is tough fellow to
pitch to-" said Cicotte. rs never
loaf when he is up. You must put
a lot of thought back of every ball.
Better not get careless when he is
up. When | think how all the pitch
ers work on Cobb, his batting rec
ord is all the more remarkable to
me. l don't believe there is pitch
er in the American league who
doesn't try to go at top speed when
Cobb steps into the box. He gets
the best the pitchers have, no Grip
pies, nothing soft, yet he keeps lead
ing the league year after year, de-
spite efforts of all pitchers to keep
him from hitting. And in a way 1
am Ito blame for all the worries
Cobb has given American league
pitchers"
That statement by Cicotte aroused
my curiosity. | never knew he
played any particular role in the ca
