Mebbe, Mebbe.

TAN it be that Washington
fans have walked up to Ty
Cobb's methods of bother
ing the opposing pitcher, methods
he has followed for years and
years?
In the last visit of the Tigers
here, Cobb was the active, :iery
leader of his team. He over
looked nothing to bring the
victory. He argued with the
umpire over nothing. He made
gestures at the Washington
pitchers. He repeatedly walked
close to the plate when the
Washington pitcher was about to
deliver the ball. He swung his
bats, all thee of them. Ho made
signs at the fans to show his con-
tempt Of them.
Can it be that the fans finally
have tired of these methods Cobb
has always used? Mebbe, mebbe.
We confess complete ignorance
for the reason of razzing Lu Blue,
unless it be in a brotherly way,
Seeing LndLl Dluc Is dSHlnR-
tonian. Brothers, you know, have
way Of razzing each other that
strangers would hardly tolerate.
We admit this is a lame reason,
but we know no other.
AS for razzing Harry He'll
mann, the champion of 1922 was
not hitting and, like Babe Ruth,
might expect some good-natured
razzing on that account. 1t is
not likely he got any other kind
while here, though he carried on
rather like a clown in right
field. Heilmann is a great big
overgrown boy, that's all, with
out a mean streak in him, and the
fans know it. Mebbe that's why
they razzed him. Mebbe, mebbe.
