XI. NO. 7. 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.

"Boarding house” etiquette, nor the "emancipated wbm an" as she is seen in offices where she 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.
