Cobb Sets Himself
Right On Alleged
Slam AT Press
By FREDERICK LIEB,
President, Baseball Writers

NEW YORK, July 26.-The
other day this writer was rather
severe with Ty Cobb, Detroit
manager, for some remarks
which the Georgian is alleged
to have made in regard to the
journalistic profession. It seems
that an injustice was done to
Ty, and he wishes to set HIM
self. right.
It seems that Cobb had an
alteration with Jack Lentz, the
stadium announcer, over Cobb's
delay In giving him the days
lineup. There were some angry
words, in which Cobb alleges
that Lentz was the first to use
profanity.
Cobb then consigned Lentz
personally to Hades, whereas
Lentz, considering himself the
emissary for the press, gave
me to understand that Ty had
said, "To hell with the press!"
Cobb invited me down to the
Tiger bench to interview Fred
Carish, the Tiger coach, and
Haney, the utility infielder.
These players sat beside Cobb
during the alteration and told
the same story as their chief.
Both were positive Cobb had not
criticised the press in any way,
norneven mentioned it by word.
"Why should / attack the
press?" asked Cobb. II realize
what it has meant to the game
and what It has done for me.
