| Georgian’s Baseball Expert
Tells About Cobb’s Fist Go
I
, Ty Cobb has been suspended by Ban
1 Johnson, president of the American
league, for whipping a spectator the
other day on the New York grounds.
The following humorous story of the
affair is well told by Damon Runyon,
one of The Georgian’s baseball experts
in New York:
z By Daimm Ihinyon.
NEW YORK. May 17.—Tyrus
(’obb. Hie famous' Georgia
Jabber, leaped lightly into
the grandstand back of the Detroit
In iicli tlic other afternoon, speared
lor himsvdf A. .Ban, and hastily
scrambled tin features, of same.
I tut w ail’ll yo« hear!
Tyrus. the two-handed, did not
know that a spectator to his fiet
fulni ss was Mr. Bancroft H. John
son, president, and everything, of
the American league. Mr. Johnson
was sitting high up in ’he grand
stand. as lan-b as life, which is
truly large, and after he had seed
what he had semi, he was observed
to hie.Hile he.ivily. and Io issue
words of speech.
Ty was engaged in his business
of Cobbing for Hughey Jennings, of
Detroit, and that accounts for his
pres* nee in Drank Barrell's ball
yard. A. Ban went there to so a
good game of baseball, so the de 1 -
i tectives have something to work on
in the way of motive as fa i as he is
i concerned.
1 • A. h'an sat right back of the vis
iting ball players, bench, and T.
1 Cobb and the other Dctroii players
' claim that he made offensive re
marks to the Southern gem A Ban
say s - and he is supported by oth
ers that he merely jested with the
Georgian about a fumble of Cobh’s
in the second inning, and that t’obb
replied with language that was
scarcely tit local. A. Pan's version
<d’ the uoublr appears to be as well
’ supj>o: ied as ('obb’s.

lefts out of his system full upon the
upturned face of A. h'an.
Some confusion resulted. '"Silk"
1 i’Loughlin and Westervelt, the um
pires. hastened to the scene, re
marking to one another upon what
a busy place the Hill yard has be
come. All the ball players flocked
to the spot in large quantities—the
Detroit delegation being especially
energetic in flocking. Those of the
spectators who held ringside seats
moved closer.
Meantime, Mr. Bancroft B. John
son, of the American league, sat up
yonder, and took notes on Ty's de
scription for future reference. It
was not a long mill, but a canvass
of the audience gives the popular
decision to (’obb by a plurality of

blood from A. I"an. but A. Fan was
not injured.

Also, A. Ean. who was Claude
I.ueker, secretary to former Sheriff
Thomas I'. I''ole\. believed so
strongly in the justice of his own
cause, and the injustice of his as
sault, he wanted to have ('obb ar
rested. He left that particular por
tion of the stand with Tom Davis,
seeretaiy of the Yankees, and Tom
(f’Neil, of the special detective
service, while Ty left the game at
the earnest behest, of O'Loughlin
and Westervelt., who love their
peace.
And all this time Bancroft B.
Johnson eyed Tyrus ('otib with a
baleful glare, and made mental note
of his name and address.
Several spectators went to A. Fan
after tile dust of battle had settled
—on him and offered to testify in
court against Cobb, hut the fiery
Georgian finally left the field unmo
lested, and was cheered ‘b\ the
crowd. Manager Jennings and other
Detroit players claim they heard
the man who was assaulted using
offensive language to ('obb -and
there you are.
"There's no justification for a ball
player going into the grandstand to
light a spectator." Mr. Johnson is
quoted as saving.
