But Not Badly Hurt, by Three Assailants While Leaving Detroit. SYRACUSE, N. V.. tug. 12.-*-Ty Cobb was attacked by three assailants and stabbed in Detroit last night while he was on his way to take the South western express for this city, where the Detroit team plays an exhibition game today. While Cobb was not seriously injured, he was slightly bruised and received one knife wound in his back. The ball player's agility saved him from a bad beating and perhaps death. Since the famous Georgian's advent in major league baseball his career has been a stormy one. Each season has seen him in mote than one fight, and the last one previous to the attack on hint in Detroit not only caused a strike of his fellow ball players but threatened organized baseball's future. When the youthful Southerner first reached Detroit his hot temper could not stand the jests and gibes through which every recruit Is supposed to pass. Career Has Been Full of Fight. Taunted, because of his Southern blood, he fought and beat Matty Mc- Intyre. a teammate, then a famous out fielder. Later, in his major league career, he pummeled a hotel employee in Cleve land. He was indicted by a grand jury in the Ohio city and for a while was prevented from playing there. The charge against him was finally set tled. Early in the present season he re sented remarks made in reference to him by a spectator in the New York American league park grounds. He dashed off the field, leaped into the grandstand and manhandled the of fender until that person had to be car ried from the grounds. He was suspended for this offense by President Johnson, of the American league, and his fellow players imme diately struck in sympathy. Only Cobb’s personal request that they re sume playing after it had appeared for several days that a baseball war was imminent ended the incident. OFFICER IN U. S.

The Atlanta Georgian Read For Profit—GEORGIAN WANT ADS—Use For Results t American Women Need Us Worse Than Hindus, Missionary Asserts “India Commonplace Beside This,” Says Miss Emily Bis sell, of St. Louis. ST LOUIS. Aug. 12.—Miss Emily Bissell. American missionary, to Hin dustan. came to St. Louis to gather new ideas on modern civilization to help her In her work. She got them. Here they are: American women need missionaries worse than the women of Hindustan. The mode of dressing, particularly low necks, tight skirts and funny hats, would not be tolerated in India. Neither would India tolerate round dances in which women and men em brace as they dance? "Boarding house” etiquette, nor the "emancipated wom an" as she is seen in offices where she works would not be tolerated. "I have stood on streets before your churches and watched the parade of fashion as it filed in and I have said to myself. 'How grotesque, how barbaric, how bizarre.’ India is commonplace beside this," said Miss Bissell.

She recites that she was a guest of the hotel July 29 and occupied an apartment with a woman companion, whom she had to keen with her on ac count of her physical infirmities. According to her story, throughout i her stay in the hotel she was shadowed by house detectives.

She refused to open the door and de- ; manded the causes of the intrusion. "There’s a man in your room,” sin i was told. "You’ve both got to get out."

Taylor Says There Was Cause. Assistant Manager Taylor of the Piedmont this afternoon gave the fol lowing statement to The Georgian con cerning the suit: "When this case comes to trial we'll be able to show to the satisfaction of the court and all concerned that this woman has absolutely no grounds for a ' suit for damages. The hotel detective did enter her room—we make no denial, of that sact —but we’ll show that he had ample and perfectly good grounds for his action, and we’ll further show that Mrs. Walker wasn't humiliated, either. The detective didn't force an entrance to the room. He rapped on the door and was admitted by Mrs. Walker. We feel perfectly safe in what has been done, and have no fear whatever of the outcome of the suit.” Marietta Dedicates Memorial to Late Senator Clay DAUGHTER UNVEILS SHAFT w J r s I ; x \ W ®)..W j ■ x \ W ■■ VW’ .’- A f Bl W I Uli 1 * (J ' / ' !Nr ,’fx/ WOMAN SLAPS MAN WHO ATTEMPTS TO STEAL HER BANANAS When a burly white man attempted this morning to .steal a bunch of bana nas from Mrs. Anna Salms, of East Point, at West Mitehell and Broad streets, she started to call a policeman but — lin second thought, she wheeled on him. dealt him a powerful slap with her right hand, and sent him reeling , into the gutter.
