NEW YORK, November 4.--Ty
Cobb. the greatest base ball player
in the American League in his day
and called by some the greatest
ball player who ever lived, has ere
| signed as manager of the Detroit
| Tigers and will be succeeded by
George Moriarty, umpire Of the
American League, poet and former
ball player
This was the news that hit most
of the base ball world between the
eyes today. but it cid not hit all
base ball men Unexpectedly. There
has been friction between Cobb and
Frank Navin, president of the De-
troit club, for some time in a gen.
eral way.
Cobb is reputed to have said that
he wished certain ball players to
be purchased for the team. Navin
is said to have refused to make the
appropriation. Cobb wanted Navin
to go after several successful play
ers. Perhaps the kid. Paul Waner.
now with Pittsburgh. is one of them
Owner Navin No Spendthrift.
Navin is no spendthrift and the
Detroit club has not scattered money
right and left to build up it's
strength, although some excellent
selections of players have been made
| now and then.
| Cobb had the resignation move in
| mind more than a year ago. He
was not satisfied with his business
| relations and said so. He did not
make it public and had no desire to
| DO so. He pointed out certain things
! which he had been unable to do be-
cause of lack of cooperation.
| Now the Detroit club has lost one
of the greatest drawing cards in the
! history of base ball. Navin probably
| figured that at some time he would
! have to lose Cobb and that he might
as we'll take the bull by the horns
| when he had Cobb's resignation before
him.
| Moriarty gained prominence as a
player When ne was Win the New
| York Americans under the Farrell
regime. Then he went to Detroit
where he did we'll. He is very fine
! young man with a capital knowledge
of the national game.
HOwley Capable Pilot.
Dan Howley, manager of the To
| ronto club of the International
League, who many thought would
go to Detroit if Cobb quit, has been
| appointed manager of the St. Louis
Browns, succeeding George Sisler.
! Moriarty could have had the job If he
! had wanted it, He was wanted for
| it in Midsummer of the past season,
! but Sisler wouldn't let go.
| Howley has had success as manager
| of minor league teams. This is his
| first shy into ma jor league circles. He
| guided the team that won a pennant
| for Toronto this year and won over
| Louisville in the little world series.
| He is a clever young base ball man
| who will have to go long way with
| the ST. Louis club before he can make
| it work to suit him.
| AS for Cobb, his resignation as man.
ager means more than that. 1t also
means that he is through as ball
