TYGOBHF GEORGIA, IS STABBED IN DARK Attacked, But Not Badly Hurt, by Three Assailants While Leaving Detroit. SYRACUSE, N. Y.. Aug. 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. Cobb was driving his automobile to the station, accompanied by his wife, when three assailants appeared from behind a wooden building and ordered him to stop his car. The men were partly under the influence of liquor. The trio demanded money from the ball player and made a lunge at Cobb, who attacked the men, and a. battle be gan. One man was knocked down with a blow. Another saw that they were up against an athlete and ran away, while the third grabbed' Cobb around the neck and the pair went into a clinch. While the men were wrestling the thug pulled a knife and inflicted a wound in Cobb's back. Two stitches had to be taken in it in this city to day. Cobb is covering his position in the nutfleld in an exhibition game between Detroit and Syracuse here this after noon. Since the famous Georgian's advent in major league baseball his career has been a stormy one. Each season has seen him in more than one fight, and the last one previous to the attack on him 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. Eater, in his major league career, lie pummeied 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 tn 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 t'obb's personal request that they re sume playing after it bad appeared for several days that a baseball war was imminent ended the incident. INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE At Providence (first game): R.

CBICE REPORTED SEMI I REUNION New York Papers Say She Hopes for a Reconciliation With Wounded Husband. Statements published in New York papers quote Mrs. Daisy Opie Grace, recently acquitted of the shooting of her husband, Eugene, as declaring that she will seek a reconciliation with her husband. The statement is alleged to have been made on her return to Phila delphia to rejoin her blind son, to whom she says she will devote the rest of her life. Here is the reconciliation story: PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 11.—Mrs. Daisy Ulrich Opie Grace announced today that she wanted to return to the man who accused her and caused her trial. "I still loie Mr. Grace.” said Mrs Grace. "No matter what he may have said about me or what he has charged me with doing, I love him. 1 simply can’t help It. I.believe that If his family would only let us alone we would live together hap pily. Perhaps we may find some place where we may hide ourselves and still be happy." Hasn’t Revoked His Power of Attorney. During this statement Mrs. Ul rich looked with amazement upon her daughter, "Daisy has told me all this be fore,” she explained, “but 1 never thought she was in earnest about it. I suppose if a woman loves a man like that it can’t be helped, but perhaps it is a blessing that all tromsti do not love in that man ner." Mrs. Grace refused to tell in what manner she expected to effect a reconciliation with her husband. She denied that she had taken any action “as yet" to revoke the power of attorney which she had given him. "That is something I will not talk about,” said Mrs. Grace. "That is an affair strictly between Mr. Grace and myself, and we will set tle it to our own satisfaction." Mrs. Grace acknowledged that she had sent a postal card to her husband from Savannah and that she had wished him many happy returns upon his birthday and had expressed the hope that they would he together again before his next birthday. She Doesn't Care What Dorsey Said. She refused to discuss the state ment of Solicitor General Hugh M. Dorsey, of Atlanta, who prosecuted her, and who declared that he had heard the shot which wounded Grace and that it was fired at 5 o’clock in the morning and not at Continued on Page Two. 2 MEN AND WOMAN FOUND SHOT DEAD IN CHICAGO HOME CHICAGO.
