The Evening Times, taking the astute Hugney at his word, sent a man to watch Cobb, judge his play at the bat, in the field, on the bases, and his whole conduct. “Ty” made good in every depart ment. It was "Ty” Cobb day, one of the days in which this bundle of Southern nerves electrifies the crowd by his batting, his speedy, dashing work on the bases, and by his field ing. In all three departments he showed at his best, and the bugs were with “Ty.” When he made a brilliant play he received a round of applause from nearly every one of the 30,000 fans. A few hoots and cries of derision were heard, but they were drowned in the tumult of praise. He also doffed his cap and smiled hap pily at the reception. Thrice Cobb placed Detroit in a po sition to score and thrice his team mates took advantage of his work and scored the man. In the field he made the stellar catch of the day. Af ter misjudging a ball he halted, turned back and with a leap high into the air and backward snapped the ball from the faces of the crowd behind the ropes in right field. A fearful cannonading of handclapping follow ed. and was re-echoed from all the stands when he returned from the field. Record for Day. “Ty’s” record for the day was two hits in three times up, a sacrifice fly, a hunt sacrifice and a stolen base. This record might have been improv ed, but team work slipped once, as it alw;ays does, and Cobb lost a stolen base. In the field he had a single chance, and accepted it, and once he stopped a sizzling grounder and held the base-runner on first by his marvel ous scoop. “Ty Cobb Day” began the moment me appeared on the field. He was cheered and cheered. At batting prac tice the Detroit team- gave way and Cobb amused the crowd. From the outset it was apparent that Cobb had his “eye” with him, for he straight away began lacing the ball to the outfield on a line. During the game Manager Jennings, in his own inimit able fashion, coached “Ty” at the bat, much to the amusement of the crowd. Graceful at Bat. The moment he posed at the bat he was a piece of the picture of ease. With strides as graceful as the steps of a ballet dancer he reached tne batsman’s box. Plainly he was not nervous, facing the enigmatic Krause. He fastened his eyes to this young ster anj never shifted them from him. “Hit it ‘Ty,’ ” shrieked Jennings from the coacher’s box. “Quiet now’, a little excitement, ‘Ty’,” continued the irrepressible Jen nings, closing his command with a shrill two-finger whistle. “Ty” heard and understood this sig nal. The Athletics likewise thought they understood and dropped back for a hard hit ball. Before the spectators could gather their wits Krause shot one past Cobb, and Umpire Perrine called “ball.” ( Again a ball whizzed by, and Cobb .never moved. His eyes remained on -‘Krause. A third ball started, and a dull crash resounded. Before the noise reached its full volume Cobb was speeding down the chalkline, and reached the Lase before Baker could field this \leanly hit bunt. Mclntyre meantime ►vent to third. I Feints Worry Krause. Around first Cobb was like a ser snt. He feinted to steal, dashed up fid down the line and chewed his t 'Bulbs for Fall s Planting now in. ;ro 3 Varcissus, Roman Hyacinths, *?reesias, lrt Now is the time to com mence planting Lawn ■ Grass.

Take care of yourself; there I go.” Cooo pranced up the baseline, foiled j three attempts to catch him napping, ; and went to second when Collins put I Crawford out at first and Mclntyre I scored. On second Cobb began another Ar ■ abian dance. He w'as half way down to third and then back. Again he 1 feinted to steal, and with a warning [signal from Jennings scooted for the bag, and reached it with a magnifi cent slide past Baker. It was a Cobb slide, and a safe one, giving the Geor gian his »,rst stolen base of the day. He died at third, his teammates fail ing to hit him in. In right field Cobb paced around while the Ataleties were at bat. His hand went to his face to shield It from the blinding western sun, and he crouched, ready to spring at a flash to a ball hit into his field. Then his hands would come down, go to his belt, and he would stand, almost listless and uejected, if the Tigers in the infield were playing a ragged game. Not until the third did the Georgian secure another chance. Then, with Mclntyre on second again, Cobb tried his three-bat swing and fastened his “eye” on Krause. He received a cheer, and chopped the first ball directly in front of the plate. While Krause and Thomas hesitated over fielding it, the Detroit speed merchant tore over first base. He was safe again. Crawford lifted to Oldrlng in short center and Cobb raced to second. At the catch he returned to first, again showing his ability to annihilate throws and beat the arm of a fielder. The fourth saw Cobb in his best play. Harry Davis crashed a liner to right field. Cobb, playing in his ap parently listless fashion, dashed for ward at the sound of the bat. He saw his error, caught sight of the ball, checked himself short, turned about, and raced with the sphere. He ap proached the sea of faces, turned his back and shot his gloved hand into the air. He returned to his feet, the ball in his hand, and half bending over the right field fans, displayed the ball In their very faces. An immense cheeT roared over Shtbe Park. Right field bugs, usually classed as “bad,” turned in and cheered, while Cobb grinned, and doffed his hat. Two hits, a stolen base, a word with Baker, and the catch had made him ‘ solid’’ with the tans. On return from the field he received another round of cheers, punctuated with the clanging of cow bells. His cap came off and he bit his gum hard. In the eighth Cobo again met with failure to get a hit, Barry scooping his ground thriller, and retiring disgusted “Ty” at first. It made no difference for he ambled to the bench with a’ smile. "Come on, you Tyros, home and glory now,” was the shout from Joi nings when Cobb prepared himself for his final turn at bat. He allowed one bad one to pass, wriggling about the plate and allowing Mclntyre and Bush to consummate a double steal. Cobb’s tactics had confused Thomas, but he confined himself to the rules of the game. The next from Krause was sent on a line to Oldring in center, and Mclntyre scored on the catch.—Phila delphia Evening Times.

Deputy Sheriff J. T. Plunkett 1b ex pected to arrive shortly in the city from Atlanta, where he went to take in charge E. E. Dunnlngton, who Is wanted In Richmond county on various chargee. It will be recalled that Dun nington barricaded himself In his fa ther’s house and defied arrest, and af ter a charge of shooting at another was brought against him he was sent, out of the county by his father. Dun nington was arrested In Atlanta and the chief of police notified the sheriff of Richmond county to send his offi cer to take him in custody. Another tTial that Dunnlngton will probably face is that of lunacy, It being the opinion of many in Augusta that he is not in his right mind, in fact he had only recently been furloughed from the asylum at Milledgeville.

In addition to practically the same article as that in the Chattanooga News: Modern Sirns. During all this time numerous subterfuges to entice the Chatta nooga players from the hotel had been attempted. Invitations for auto rides, courtesies at the "clubs” were offered and other inducements were extended. Woman would frequently pass the. hotel and attempt to flirt with the men, and one woman had the temerity to come in the hotel par lor and send her card to one of the players. The Lookouts were on the alert for these sort of tricks and many others, and the persons who framed up th« different inducements had all their trouble for nothing. The Lookouts were too wise.

The Lookouts have a strong team. They are keyed up to the top notch, while the Crackers have “let down” after the hard pennant fight. The situation now devolves itself into the following: If the Crackers can get bard: into their stride, they should make the Lookouts go every inch of the way, and the chances are that they will win easily.

As it is, they are going to give the Crackers the best they have in the shop. t Who will be the hurlers in the open ing battle has not been announced, hut Harold Johns will probably hurl for tho Crackers and Demarco for the Lookouts.
