COBB DECIDES TO
 ACCEPT AN OFFER
Won't Reveal What Club He Will Sign Up With This Year

New York, Feb. ' CP,-Ty Cobb
 has decided today on the ball club
 with which he will play in 1927.
 But only the famous slugger himself
 could answer the question that has
 interested baseball fandom since the
 former Detroit manager and Iris
 Speaker were absolved on charges of
 baseball crookedness by Commis-
 sioner K. M. Landis. and Cobb re- fused to tell.
 In the midst Of fresh bidding for his services yesterday, Cobb paused ito announce that he had made up ' his mind on offers for next season. The offers were known to include one of $50,000 a year from Dan Howley. manager of the St. Louis Browns. consisting of S40,000 salary and a Sl0,000 bonus for signing; another reported at s50,o00 from the Brook ! Nn Robins in the National league, made up of a $50, 900 salary and a s2O,00 bonus; and third, the amount unknown. from Connie Mack of the Philadelphia Athletics. Cobb previous had said that four clubs sought his war club for 1927.
 Baseball men and close friends of the Georgian lean to the opinion that Cobb has decided to cast his lot with
 the Athletics. He is known to desire
 a regular berth with a club that will i be in the thick of the American , league fight and Howley, who has sought the veteran from St. Louis to
 Georgia to Philadelphia and finally to New York, has declared he would not let "Our friendship stand in the
 way of Tvs desire to hook up with
 possible pennant winner"
 Howley still was sticking close to
 Cobbs trail as the latter prepared 10 go to Philadelphia for a chat with Connie Mack. He declared this
 hardly significant on his part. how ever as he intends to return to At lanta for visit with Cobb regardless
 of the outcome of the negotiations.
 Other worries beset magnatcs clustered in New York for the scheduled meetings today. Rogers Hornsby, former manager of the
 world champion St Louis Cardinals.
 brought stock problems to the new Giants doorstep for solution. Horns- by, who holds 1.167 shares in the Cardinals although he has become a
 Giant through the trade with St. Louis for Frankie Frisch and Jim my Ring said yesterday he had TO | objection to arbitration but that he ! must get S105 a share or there will 1 be mo Hornsby basehits next sum- mor."
 President John A. Heydler Of the 1 league, who has declared Hornsby 1 cannot hold St. Louis stock while playing for the Giants, may attempt
 today to bring about an agreement
 between Hornsby and Sam Breadon.
 Cardinal president, who has offered i S65 a share for the stock.
 A conference yesterday between Herb Pennock. left-handed pitching ! ace and New York Yankee officials 1 disclosed that the world series star i is holding out for a salary increase. | Pennock will return to Yankee head i quarters for another conference i Thursday. about the time that an i nouncement of the long pending deal i between the Tanks and Browns is expected. Reliable sources report 1 that the Browns practically have agreed to send Outfielder Cedric
 Durst and Pitcher Joe Giard to New l York for Pitcher Sam Jones and at i least one other player.
