SIXTH PLACE WILL
SUIT COBB IN n.
Tigers New Manager Doesn't
Expect to Grab Pennant
First Season,
BY JACK yEIoCK.

NEW YORK. March 3--Sixth place
in the American League penaant race
will satisfy Ty Cobb this year. He
has hopess however. that his team
may do better.
IL Detroit manages TO finish better
than sixth. Cobb says he will feel
thankful and will be ready 10 pay his
respects to Lady Luck"
The newly appointed manager-stsr
OF the Tigers is making no predie-
tions. In a telegraphed interview
with the writer today he modestly
tells OF his plans for the coming sea-
son. He advances no claims for his
team.
"As TO my expectations regarding
what Detroit may accomplish this
year. l have very little" says Cobb.
"We have about the same team thar
finished seventh In the 1920 pennant
race. There Is nothing 1 could do In
the way OF making changes, trades.
l'and the like, for the simple reason
that the men who did not do as well
last year may be more successful un-
der different conditions this year. AS
a result / must wait and find out the
men who will attune themselves to
my methods. II l should discover
after two months or 80 that certain
players cannot deliver the goods. then
| l would go about making changes.
Last year we finished seventh.
This year / hope to be able to finish
| at least sixth. III VIC should be lucky
enough to finish a little higher, 1
| would feel very thankful.
II have never claimed anything for
our club or myself as a manager. /
am simply going to do my best and
| finish just as, high as / can. One
| thing sure. we will endeavor to let
| the opposition know that they are in
ball game every day.
II hope to show a decided improve
| ment in the pitching STAFF. Detroit
has lacked consistent pitching for a
number of years, and this department
| is going to be given a lot of my at
| tention.
| "As to training, have decided to do
| away with the double period system.
J morning and afternoon. / will have
a real, hard, snappy practice once
| each day. Also plenty of hitting
practice, probably divided into two
squads, the regulars and recruits. I
have a few more ideas regarding
training and other things that / will
put into practice. but am not ready at
| this time to discuss them"
Cobb's efforts as manager of the
| 'Bengals" will be watched with keen
interest by fans throughout the coun-
| try. For fifteen years he has been
| the outstanding, all-around star OF
baseball, and his debut as a manager
| and whether or not managerial duties
will affect bis playing will hold the
attention of the baseball public.
