YOUNG DUFFY

Detroit, Mich., Aug. 6. "Ty" Cobb

told some' of the playt-rs that he would

not appear in the Detroit batting or

der again until Davy Jones was taken

out of it.

Officials of the Detroit club heard

about it, and President Navin and Man

ager Jennings had a little consulta

tion on the matter. Yesterday Tyru3 sauntered into the club offices and

mentioned that he would be on hand

for the day's game. Mr. Navin refer

red him to Mr. Jennings, who was not

present. So Ty went out to the park

arriving too late for practice, but in

tending to get into the game.

Trainer Harry Tuthill was the man

who went to the field and told Hughie that Cobb had gotten over his grouch and was ready. to play. Jennings sent

back word that he needn't put on his

uniform, for the Tigers could get along very well without him. Probably he

will be left alone until he learns that

kings can do wrong, the old adage to

the contrary notwithstanding.

any more of long Arthur, as a bench

be in the game all the time, and there

is an awful howl when he is dis

abled. And yet it look years for Ipt-

man to gain mis regular occupation.

He was so classy, as an all-around performer, so clever when placed on any of the seven jobs outside the bat

tery, that Chance wouldn't work him regularly. Artie had the distinction of being the best utility man living, but he wanted to be in the game, all the time, and yet Chance wouldn't put him there. Chance maintained that Rabbit

center fielder. But after Slagle passed

and Hofman took up the regular work in center it was evident that he ought to have been there long before. He

hit harder than Slagle; he made more runs;, he covered . much more ground with his long strides, and his throwing

the Cubs had been keeping a star bats

that was licked, but games from the Senators are just as valuable as any others, a little more so at' present, in-

j asmuch as the Sox are fighting with

that club for sixth position. The victory of Duffy's team put it within one game of the place next higher up and encouraged it to go out and win today's and move up on practically even terms with the boys from the capital. Doc White pitched, as a matter or course. He always pitches against the men from home If it's anywhere near his turn. He pitched a funny game of ball, not at all like his usual ones. For one thing, he was wild, and wildness never was one of his bad habits. He was hit pretty hard in the third, inning when the Senators scored their two runs. After the third he wasn't touched, although his lack of control kept him working almost all the way through.
