H GOBB,OF
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 atTd 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 v ith
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.
t'obb is covering his position in the
outfield 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.
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.

ST. LOUIS. Aug. 12.—Miss Emily

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

etiquette, nor the "emancipated wbm

works would not be tolerated.
"I have stood on streets before yout
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.

New York Papers Say She
Hopes for a Reconciliation
With Wounded Husband.
Statements published Tn 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
husba'nd. 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 Oplef Grace announced
today that she wanted to return to
the man who accused her and .
caused her trial.
"I still love Mr. Grace." said Mrs.
Grace. "No matter whlit he may
have said about me or what he has
charged me with doing, I love him.
I 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 al! this be
fore,’’ she explained, "but I 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 al!
women do not love in Lhat 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 1 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 het
husband from Savannah and that
she had wished him many happy
returns upon his birthday and had
expressed the hope that they would
be together again before his next
birthday.
She Doesn’t Care
What Dorsey Said.
She refused to discuss the state

her, and who declared that he had

The Crackers felt sore over their dou
ble defeat of yesterday and went out for
today's game with a vengeance. They
hurried four runs over the plate in the
first inning, these bping the outgrowth
of four hits, a double steal and some good
base running.
On a single by Rohe, and a home run
by Spencer, the Pelicans got a pair of
runs to their credit in their half of the
first inning
A pair of singles, a sacrifice, a triple
and a home run in the second gave the

AEROPLANE SPIES
ON MIMIC BATTLE
Usefulness of Air Craft in War
fare Proved in Giant East
ern Maneuvers.
STRATFORD. CONN., Aug. 12.—The
value of aeroplanes for scouting pur
poses in warfare was demonstrated to
day by American army officers. The
aerial squadron stationed at the head
quarters of Major General Tasker H.
Bliss, chief umpire of the great war
game, got into action early as soon as
the rattle of musketry between the op
posing Red and Blue armies was heard.
Lieutenant Foulois, in a Burgess-
Wright machine, remained aloft for an
hour and fifteen minutes, and on land
ing reported large bodies of troops en
gaged in battle in a triangle whose
points were marked by the cities of
Bridgeport. Derby and New Haven.
Governor Dlx of New' York, accompa
nied by Major DeKay, his military aid,
and an orderly watched the battle in
which Governor Foss of Massachusetts
led the Massachusetts troops.
Fight Like Real War.
The first battle in the campaign for
the capture of New York was on today
between the Red army of invasion and
the Blue forces of defense about three
miles east of Milford. The army of
invasion was victorious, and the Blues
were driven back in full retreat. Sev
eral prisoners were taken by the Red
army, under command of Brigadier
General Frederick A. Smith.
At Derby the engineers threw up for
tifications on a hill just north of the
town and put a pontoon bridge across
the Naugatuck river, thus clearing the
way for the Red army to penetrate into
the Blue territory.
Foreign representatives who watched
the maneuvers were Colonel Jose Ava
los, of Mexico; Major Mortana Gage, of
Great Britain, and Colonel Baron De-
Bode, of Russia. Their host was Brig
adier General Albert L. Mills, com
mander of the Blue army.
SHOOTING SEASONS ARE
REARRANGED BY HOUSE
The Joys put one over on the Glooms
in the house today.
The game laws of the state were pretty
thoroughly overhauled In a large, fat bill
passed in the house during the morning
session, and Incidentally the open season
for shooting quail, wild turkeys and birds
of similar persuasion, was lengthened by
making the first day for slaughter Novem
ber 20 instead of December 1, as the law
now stands.
