Over Cobb',s TIGERS
In Exhibition Game
Robbie's Grew Overcomes

Six Runs in Sixth Inning

The Dodgers interrupted their series
in Pittsburgh by jumping to Brooklyn
yesterday for an exhibition game with
the Detroit Tigers. and Robbie's men
won from the Cobb men by score of
to 6. About 10000 fans turned out to
see Ty Cobb and his sluggers in action,
but dark day and intermittent show
ers created general unpleasantness.
Ferde Schupp, former Giant, pitched
the entire nine innings for the Dodg-
ers, but proved ineffective in the early
part of the game. He spotted the Tigers
ings, but sensational rally by his
mates in the sixth inning Melted six
runs and saved the game for Schupp.
Cobb started a recruit named Bert
Cole, who had a record of thirty games
won and eight lost on the Pacific Coast
last year. Cole proved a sensation for
five innings, checking the Robins with
only three hits. In the sixth, however,
nc was deluged under shower of hits,
and "Slicker" Parks, formerly of the
University of Michigan, assumed the
enough, but yielded what proved to be
the winning runs in the seventh frame
on two hits.
The Tiger sluggers were in fine form,
but Schupp kept the bingles fairly we'll
scattered. Detroit outhit Brooklyn
thirteen to eleven. Bobby Veach had a
great day with the stick, getting two
doubles and two singles in five times at
bat. He had fine chance to win the
game in the ninth inning, but flied
weakly to center field.
