TY COBB'S STATUE
PRESENTS PUZZLE

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, July 20.-Who ordered
a statue of Tyrus Raymond Cobb, al
legedly for erection on Belle Isle, the
city's recreation center? The ques-
ton was proving a matter Of concern
to certain DetroiterS today.
Not the least of them was Mayor
John w. Smith, his secretary, Edward
Speyer, and a Russian sculptor, Nixon
Tregor, who has completed a life
size head of clay, which, he says, rep
resents 1.-The spirit of base ball" anG
Cobbs features.
Tregor contends he began work on
the bust after the mayor brought Cobb
to his studio while the Philadelphia
Athletics were playing their first series
here. The Georgia Peach" posed for
him three mornings following that
time, and then the sculptor followed
him to Chicago to- continue the work,
TreGor added.
Now that the bust has been COM
pleted, Tregor wants to know who will
furnish the $4,000 necessary to turn
out a full-lcngth statue, if that is what
is wanted.
Mayor Smith says he doesn't know,
and Speyer, to whom has been de-
tailed the task of finding out, replies
Search me-"
1t all came about at a luncheon
given the former Tiger manager when
he appeared here this Spring for the
first time with the Athletics. Some
body-nobody seems to know who
suggested the erection of the statue.
The introduction of Tregor and Cobb
followed.
