Ty Cobb's Hug Ends Ancient Joe Judge Feud
Incident Silence Between Players

his career with the Athletics,
couldn't understand Cobb's
check-grabbing. I remember,
said Simmons, when we were
rooming together and you threat
ened to fight me over a 81 laun-
dry bill"
"Wally Schang, the old catcher,
was telling me a story about
Cobb" continued Judge. "1 had
been in the league long time
said Schang, when Cobb came to
bat one day, but he tricked me
anyway Cobb swung at a pitch,
then turned to me and said, Back
up a little-you're bothering me-.
"'Well, I guess I wasn't thinking
because backed up little. That
was the opening Cobb wanted.
He bunted and beat my throw to
first by step-the step I had
given him when I backed up to
be nice guy"
Ossie Bluege, the Mats former
third baseman, recalls an incident
with Cobb. Ossie had taken a
throw from the outfleld and had
plenty of time to nail Cobb on a
play at third. II went out to
meet him and make the decision
easy for the umpire" said Bluege,
"and Cobb practically undressed
me with his spikes. He got up
and said, 'That'll teach you never
to make me look bad, young
man."
Bucky Harris, manager Of the
Yankees and the Mats former
second baseman, admits he never
fulfilled an ambition-to slam
Cobb between the eyes with a
throw. "I used to try it," con-
fesses Harris, when Ty was COM
ing into second base on the first
end of a double-play. I'd always
draw a bead on his forehead, but
he always ducked."
Cobb had a lot Of enemies"
reminisced Judge. Nov he wants
some friends"

A 25-year silent feud ended
last month at New York when
Ty Cobb walked over to Joe
Judge, the Mats former first
baseman, embraced him warmly,
laughed and said, you never did
like me, did you, Joe?"
"Well," hedged Judge politely,
IT always admired you as a ball.
player"
st thought you were a great
first baseman, a remarkable first
baseman for a man your size"
said Cobb, "but between the
hours Of and hated you"
"He wasn't kidding" laughed
Judge, who got around to telling
of the incident last night when
Georgetown and George Wash
ington University officials con-
vened with sports writer's at the
University Club. HE was the
meanest man who ever pulled on
a baseball uniform"
1--WE hadn't spoken for Is
wears" said Judge. "It all came
about over a rather small thing.
Cobb loved to pass our dugout,
show his spikes and say, They're
sharp today, boys, so look out
Well, one day he was sharpening
his spikes near our dugout and I
got sore and said, Who are you
trying to scare?' That's all, but
that was it.
From then OH he tried to kill
me but, of course, he tried to cut
everybody who ever played
against him. He'd slide a yard
inside of first base to try to spike
me deliberately, but when Cobb
was sliding Mr.. Judge was taking
those throws on the far side OF
the bag. He never nicked me.
Imagine my surprise when he
saw me at the World Series and
put his arm around my shoulder
and hugged me. I think the
fellow has mellowed. We were
all there-a flock of old ball
players-to attend the series as
guests of the New York club and
I believe Cobb realized there were
a lot of fellows among us who
had little use for him. I think
Ty was a little lonely.
Cobb was picking up all the
checks and tipping handsomely.
In fact, in one spot where we
ate he tipped waiter $1,000
