COBB RECALLS MOST
EXCITING BALL GAME
OF HIS LONG CAREER
Teams Battling for Title
Went Seventeen Innings,
Despite Fights.

Detroit. Feb. 1O.-RcCcntly Ty Cobb
was asked what he regarded as the
most exciting major league game he
had ever participated in.
Cobb, who has played a prominent
part in many a thriller hesitated mo-
mcntarily and then replied:
Guess it would be- pretty harl to
beat that thinning affair We played
with the Athletics back in 1907. That
was wild and woody afternoon, with
everything possible packed into that
ball game"
4 perusal OF the bOX-sCore and sum-
mary Of that game bears out Cobbs
opinion. With the two teams battling
for the lead in the American League.
the game had an ideal setting and it
is doubtful il ever n more hectic strug-
gle was ever staged in the history Of
the American League.
Detroit hadn't won pennant since
way back in 1887. and, obviously,
with golden opportunity before them,
the Tigers were at least going down
fighting
Detroit had managed to annex the
opening tilt of a threc-Game series. ,
To 4, which went 10 innings. And con
Sequently Connie Mack, with his back
" lilN BivN'lbl il NuiAt was 'uN W w -
up the count. So he sent in 'Rube'
Waddell to turn the trick.
For the first few frames the "Rube'
went great, standing the Tigers on their
heads. Hence. along about the fifth
inning the Macks were leading. to l.
But then Waddell weakened and De
troit put on a rally which finally sent
the great "Ruhc" to the showers
Came the ninth with Philadelphia
still showing the way. S 10 4. But
the Tigers weren't through, for with
Sam Crawford on first base, Ty Cobb
tied the score, and made it new ball
game by driving the leather over the
right field wall for q home run. They
went into overtime. /
In the eleventh, Detroit succeeded
in scoring what appeared to be the
winning tally. but the Athletics came
back and evened the count when Davy
Jones, playing left field for the jungle
clan. dropped an easy fly, allowing
Mackite 10 cross the paying station.
On and on they struggled with
neither team being able TO break the
ice. Rossman, Detroit first-bascmun.
was elected from the proceedings for
an unscheduled encounter with one 81
MaCk's players-a general frce-for all
being narrowly averted.
Along about the fifteenth. a near
ria. resulted when PniladClnhia
player was called out after the crowd
had jostleri Outfielder Sam Crawford,
causing him to drop the ball. The
fans were ready to mob the umpire.
And so it went, with trouble constantly
brewing. though no casualties resulted.
Finally. at the end of the seventeenth
inning, the game was called on account
of darkness with the teams deadlocked
at nine runs each.

LONDON, June 1.-THE British
cabinet was summoned into session
today to consider notes from the
French and Belgian governments
asking Great Britain to bring pres
sure upon Germany to end passive
resistance against military occupa
ton of the Ruhr.
Premier Poincare in his note to
London suggested that the allies
send joint reply to Berlin upon
the following conditions:
IA demand for immediate ceS-
sation of p"ssive resistance in the
Ruhr and neland.
2-RejectiUn of the proposals
made by Secretary of State Charles
Evans Hughes, of Washington, and
the German government that an
impartial tribunal of international
economic experts be appointed TO
determine how much Germany can
pay and the method of payment.
3|Rejection of the guarantees Of
fered by Germany, which included
a mortgage upon railways and in.
dustry, customs, real estate pledges
and monopolies upon tobacco and
whiskey.
The Belgian note was presented
by the Belgian ambassador. 1t was
less drastic in tone than the French
and approved the British proposal
that an inter-allied conference be
held to draw up joint reply to the
latest German memorandum.
1t is probable Great Britain will
renew overtures to France to accept
Germany's offer as the basis of me-
gotiations.

narrow escapes from death when
four passenger cars crashed through
the collapsing elevated structure,
carrying with them a mass of twist
ed rails and steel.
May Save Station.
Firemen were battling today to
save the office section of the rail-
way station.
Temporarily steam railroad trains
were terminated at the West Phila-
delphia station, while electric serv-
ice was diverted to Fifty-second
street.
The widest confusion reigned
among hundreds of passengers who
had fled from Pullman cars when
all lights in the vicinity Of the blaze
were extinguished. Excitement was
increased by the roar of heavy
steel coaches as they crashed
through the elevated.
Pennsylvania Railroad officials
said the blaze started about mid
night in the baggage room at the
Broad street station and spread
quickly to the mail room.
Sparks pouring from the flaming
Broad Street Station started a sec
ond fire in the adjacent Fox
Theater building, under construc-
ton.
Six floors Of the theater struc-
ture were heavily damaged, but at
1915 a. m. firemen said they had
the fires in hand. The blazes COW
