“TY” COBB IS STABBED

BATTLES WITH THREE HOLD-UP MEN IN DETROIT. Ball Player Gives Thugs Who Attack _ Him a Good Threshing—fls Not Seriously Hurt. Detroit, Mich., Aug. 13—When news of the stabbing of Ty Cobb reached here from Syracuse, a couple of detectives were sent out to try to pick up some clue to the perpetrators of the assault but met with absolutely no success. The police have reached the conclusion that the attack was a hold-up job, committed for purposes of robbery. The most pleasing thing about it is that Tyrus thrashed the three highwaymen and then caught his train. The place where Ty was attacked is a dark corner in a region considerably frequented by hold-up men. Ty was driving in his automobile, with his wife, to the railway station to go east with the Tigers. Apparently the men had stationed themselves behind a building waiting for a quarry. According to Mrs. Cobb, when the motor car slowed down to round the corner, the three men. who were partI ly drunk, rushed out, leaped on the running boards of the car and demanded his money. Ty stopped and let go with both fists and a good batting eye, knocking out one man with the first blow and sending another scurrying into the dark beyond. While he was attending to these two the other got a grip on him not permitted in the rules of polite wrestling. Ty was rapidly getting the better of him when the thug whipped out a knife and used it, giving Cobb two slashes in the back. T&is only increased Cobb's fury, and he finished his man up in short order. Then he jumped into his car and hurried to the depot, telling no one but his wife that he had been wounded.
