COBb'S SUCCESS
UP PTOH|SP|TCHERS
Georgian Has Chance to Make
His Career Even More
C0IorfuI.

NEW YORK. April s.-Ty Cobb win
make his bow as a major league man
ager next week.
Will he be success or a failure.
Will he be able to lead the Detroit
Tigers out of the jungle Of defeate
Will he make them a real power in
the American League once again?
Baseball fans throughout the coun-
try are interested in these questions.
They will watch Cobb and his Ben
gals with genuine interest. for the
career of the Georgia Peach, already
one OF the most colorful in baseball
history. will be ,doubly brilliant IL he
succeeds as a manager.
COBB IS TEMEPRAMENTAL
Cobb is temperamental. He will be
temperamentai manager More
than likely they will soon be calling
him the ''McGraw" OF the American
League.
But temperament doesn't usually
travel with failure-not so you could
notice it-and IL Cobb gets the Tigers
on on the right claw they might sur
prise everybody, even themselves, BY
finishing in the first division.
Cobb has said that he will be sat-
isfied with sixth place. Don't swaI-
low all of that. The dash and spirit
that mas maue 1yfus famous as q
player will be a big help to him as
manager. and so far he has i'm
pressed baseball men with the way
he has handled his team in training.
THROUGH EXPERIMENTING.
Tyrus is through experimenting
He finished that about q week ago
He had reason. 1t was his idea to
have the regular team working to-
gether for two or three weeks before
the season opened. Here is how the
Tigers will line up: Lu Blue first
base; Young, second base: Bush
shortstop: Jones. third base: Cobb,
Heilman and Veach. outheld; BassIeT
and Manion, catchers; Leonard.
Ehmke, Dauss, Ayers. Oldham. Suth-
erland. Middleton. Cole, Stewart and
Holling. pitchers.
By using Heilman in the outfleid,
Cobb will increase his defensive
strength. This shift was made pos
sible because Blue, new first sacker
from Portland. has made good. Presi-
dent Navin says "Blue IL q wonderful
felder and. il he can hnd his batting
eye. he will prove q sensation"
Sutherland. Middleton. Cole, Stew
art and Holling are now pitchers.
Pitching is where Detroit has been
weak for a good many seasons If
Cobb can get the work out of his
twirlers and can solve the problem of
handling them to the best advantage,
the Bengals will climb right out of
the doormat class.

timely to record that the Browns and
Cardinals are very much IN the dark

from the best clubs in both leagues.

BY JACK VEIOCK.

NEW YORK, April 9.-Tex Ric-
kard will name the site of the
Dempsey Carpenter bout today.
After weeks Of considering num-
erous offers from all sections of the
United States, Canada, and Eng
land, the premier promoter has
definitely decided on the spot for the
fstic battle Of the age.
In line with the policy he has fol-
lowed from the first, Rickard smil-
ingly refused to drop hint regard
ing the site prior to the hour set for
its announcement-1 o'clock.
The betting was 2 to 1, however.
that the ring will be pitched within
committing distance of New York

Latest word received by Rickard
from Georges Carpenter through his
Paris representative completely dis
counts the many reports that have
emanated from London to the effect
that Carpenter intended to back out
Of tho match.
COMPLETELY SATISFIED.
Carpenters agent, in a letter to
Rackard said Carpenter and his
manager. Francois Descamps, are
completely satisfied with the man
ner in which the promoter has
' handled the match and that the
French star will sail for the United
States during tho first two weeks Of
May.
With the naming of the site
scheduled today boxing fans began to
speculate where Dempsey and Carp
entier will pitch their training camps.
The articles of agreement stipulate
that both fighters shall be within the
State or country where the contest Is
to take place at least forty days be-
fore the time fixeds for the battle.
with Carpenter scheduled to sail
early next month and Jack Dempsey
due to wind up his theatrical engage
ment within another fortnight there

tho ground in due time.
CANDIDATES FOR REFEREE.
