Al Simmons
Lauds Tiger
Manager
By FRANK BUCK" oNEILL

10y MANN OWN ~ 4N6AAA4
The baseball world unites in
common interest today, hoping
for the speedy recovery of Gordon
Stanley Mickey Cochrane,
manager Of the Detroit Tigers.
The loss Of the raven-haired Celt,
who guided the Detroit team to
the only world championship the
city ever won in the modern era,
would be a staggering loss to base
ball. Experts agree that Coch-
rane right now is playing the
same sensational ball that he
played in the halcyon days Of
the Athletics when Grove, Wal
berg and Earnshaw; Cochrane,
Foxx and Haas ruled the con-
quered East.
"COchrane has q fair chance
to recover If his condition re-
mains unchanged for the next
So hours" was the report from
the stricken athletes bedside in
st. Elizabeth's Hospital in New
York city.
II have telegraphed Mickey
my sincere hope for his re-
cOvery," Bucky Harris said to-
day.
AL Simmons, who was traded
to the Griffs by Cochrane ex-
tolled Mickey as a t3ll player, q
man and a friend on and off
the field. Simmons accepted the
trade that sent him here as one
of the exigencies of baseball. He
harbored no re ltment against
his pal Of the old days under
Connie Mack.
Edwards Speaks
Henry P. Edwards, director OF
public relations for the American
League, told the story of Coch-
rane before the 1885 all star
game, when he managed the
American League forces.
Mickey called a meeting be-
fore the game and addressed
the players" said Edwards.
"I'm going to try to win this
game" COchrane told the Sc
lected men, and I'm going to
win it with nine men or ten.
/ don't want you to feel sore
If you don't get into action"
"The players agreed that the
thing was to win the game and
