Gay as any 70 revive the story
that Ty Cobb may be enticed
to devote another year to the
game which he helped make one
Of the pillars Of American
sportdom.
Some day, sooner or later, the
yarn will come popping along
the baseball rialto that Cobb
may be back next year, and
in the parlance Of the news
room we would like to be able
to say, Well, that's one they
didn't scoop us or"
It is only gossip, but they do
say the Brooklyn Robins would
like 10 have Ty Cobb and that
Cobb is listening in 3 sort of
'half-h hearted way.
y is known To have a WE'LL
developed desire to round otit
quarter. Of q century in the
game and in that it would only
require one more season Of
activity to fulfill that yen, it
is not altogether beyond the
pale of possibility that he may
yield to offers from Uncle Will
bert Robinson.
The portly pilot of the Flat
bush gang, spends his winters
at his hunting lodge hard by the
home Of the fiery Georgian and
there are many friends of both
who would not be surprised to
see Robby and Cobb get to-
getheR.
OF course, Cobb announced his
retirement at the close of the
1928 baseball season, but many
man who has devoted the
best years of his life to base
ball has retired in October, only
to be drawn out of his seclu-
sion when the urge beset him in
April.
The necessity for earning
money has usually been behind
these changes of heart, but in
Cobb's case that element would
not be a factor in getting him
to change his mind, OF cash,
he has plenty
II is the opinion Of intimates
of Cobb that he is vain enough
about his baseball records to
appear one more year and
thereby round out the quarter Of
a century Of the sport with the
greatest record ever complied
by any player.
At the time the Athletics
grabbed Ty Cobb two winters
ago. the Brooklyn team was
after him as q player and coach,
and it is III that capacity they
would like to have him now.
At the age Of AZ, Cobb is still
as valuable <as many players
10 and Is years his junior. In
fact, his legs are the only part
Of his anatomy which do not
seem to function as Of old, his
batting eye seeming not to dim
with advancing years.
His hitting average of 1923
last season is not to be despised.
II included 81 doubles, four
triples and home run. How
he would fit into that scheme
of John HeydIer's for having
permanent pinch-hitter for the
pitcher!
Here are few of the records
held BY Cobb at the end Of last
playing season:
Most games played 3 ,033.

HOOVER DENIS
With CREACER
Working Arrangement With
G. 0. P. Organization,
Leaders Assert

WASHINGTON, March 7.-P)-
A group of leaders of the Hoover
democrats of Texas called on the
president today to inform him they
had real working arrangement
with the republican organization Of
the state, of which r. B. Creager,
is national committeeman.
Leading the group were former
Governor 0. B. Colquitt, and Alvin
Moody, chairman Of the Hoover
democratic organization of the Lone
Star state. They said patronage was
not discussed, but Mr.. Colquitt al
ready has been recommended for a
position on the railway mediation
board which has been held by for
mer Governor Pat M. Neff, of Tex
as, whose denomination failed of
action at the last session of the
senate, although favorably reported
by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
Senator Moses Of New Hampshire
called at the White House during
the forenoon to endorse Mr. Colquitt
for the place. The Creager organ
ization also is supporting the former
governor.
Members of the delegation said
Mr.. Hoover had expressed appreci-
alton of the fine majority given to
him by Texas last November and
intimated it had come as a very
pleasant surprise as he had been
doubtful that Texas would swing
into the republican column.

Prohibition Law
Will Be Enforced,
Mitchell Asserts

WASHINGTON, March 7.-(P)-
A slender, smiling man emphasized
today that the national prohibition
law will be enforced.
President Hoover'S inaugural ad-
dress should be platform enough for
the department of justice" William
D. Mitchell, the new attorney gen.
eral said.
Confidence in himself and his
willingness to devote his best to
his work, is his outstanding char
acteristic. Although he has not had
time to decide on how best to han
die prohibition he said that if he
found the work of his department
was increased, through the trans
fer Of the prohibition bureau from
the treasury to the department Of
justice. he would ask for more funds
to carry on the work The prospects
of increased work for his depart
ment did not seem to worry the new
attorney general in the least.

ACE ASSURES
Indy TO FLY
1t. Col. Fierro Takes Mail
Back to Mexico City
After Hop Here

The most definite assurance Of
the flight of Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh to Brownsville from Mexico
City on March 9 with the first air
mail over the new route through
here was given this morning by
Lieut.. Col. Roberto Fierro.
Col. Fierro, who flew into Browns
vile yesterday afternoon, and left
this morning for Mexico, talked to
Lindbergh yesterday. He said Lind
bergh told him he was planning to
fly the first air mail to Browns
vile on March 9.
"Lindbergh's arm will not bother
him." Col. Fierro said, "aS it is prac-
tically well, and the revolution will
not interfere with the flight" he
said, according to every indication.
However, he considered it possible
that the escort of army planes
which was to accompany Lindbergh
here will not make the trip. These
planes have been massed for pos
sible use in the revolution, Col.
Fierro said.
The Mexican ace, who has one of
the most outstanding records of any
flyer, and better record than any
other in Mexico, expressed surprise
and pleasure at the Brownsville air
port, stating it is one Of the most
complete and efficient he has ever
seen. He expressed surprise at a
city the size of Brownsville having
such an airport.
Col. Fierro expressed regret that
he could not fly back to Brownsville
with Lindbergh, but had some con-
ISOLATION in carrying back with him
the first international mail ever to
move out of Brownsville by air. The
mail was a lean Sackful, stamped
with official seals, ETC., and carrying
it was reported unofficially, mainly
Mexican official communications.
Col. Fierro's plane took off at $50
and he expected to make the return
trip in about five hours, stopping at
Tampico. The plane of Col. de
Leon, which came in yesterday with
Fierro, bringing party of Mexican
officials, left half an earlier on the
return trip.
Records show that Col. F'ierro has
total of almost 5000 hours in the
air, that he has made record break
ing flights from MeXicali, on the
western border, to Mexico City, from
Mexico City to Havana, from Mex
leo to Guatemala, from Mexico City
to Panama, and to practically every
other point in central and South
America.
The flying ace has been through
four revolutions in the air service,
and is now head of all Mexican air
forces. He is dapper. clean cEt
