FOR FAILURES OF TYGERS Ty Is Held Solely Responsible for the Disastrous Showing of His Club to Date—*“0ld’*> Man Able to Lead Team to 7 to 3 Win Over Griffs. BY DENMAN THOMPSON. Sports Editor, The Star. ROIT, May 21—The truth of the old saw that a prophet is not without honor, save in his own country. is strikingly illustrated in | the case of Tyrus Raymond Cobb. igucd by recently published reports emanating from the East that Detroit fans have thoroughly soured on the boss of the Bengals, your correspondent snooped around a bit on his first visit to this town in three years to get the low-down on the thing, and found on all sides testi- mony corroborative of the rumor. Cobb is, beyond all argument, the greatest ball player that ever lived. With a lifetime batting average of .369, this base ball genius, who will be 40 vears old next December, only two weeks ago staged a batting ram- page at St. Louis that is without precedent in the history of the game when he a hieved within the nine innings of a single contest six hits in six times up, including three home runs, for an aggregate of 16 bases. Any one of these performances is a rarity, but in combining the trio in his twentict of brilliant feats in the national pastime. 9 is the performer that the fans judged by the practical unanimity of comments heard in bar- | ber shops, hotel lobbies, cigar stores, soft drink emporiums and on street corners, have turned thumbs down on. Cobb Blamed for Everything. Cobh alone is blamed for the dis- astrous showing of the local team to date, being rated a rank failure 3s a manager. “They y,” that agide from O'Rourke, Tavener and a cogple of others, Cobb has so antagonized by his sharp tongue and bulldozing tactics. the athletes taking orders from him, that the bulk of them are not trying, and stories of fist fights in the clubhouse between Cobb and vari- ous members of his troupe are freely bandied about. Just how reliable of dissention among the Ben not known, but there assuredly w: no evidence of it on the field yesterday when they administered a sound trouncing to the Nationals, 7 to 3, in the opening tilt of the serfes. Neither pitchers Ruether nor Leonard, who was able to go the route, and ificant as well as character- istic of the man that it was Cobb who started the rally that upset the cham- pions after they had come from be- hind to overhaul an early lead. O'Rourke, who walked and was doubled up with Fothergill in the opener, and Blue, with an unsupported single In the second, were the only Tygers to get on until the fifth when Heilmann greeted Ruether with a drive over the left field fence for the first tally of the exhibition. Blue then drew a free ticket, Tavener sacrificed and a second run was in when Bassler singled to left. The catcher tQok second on the throw in and”on Leonard’s death moved to third where he was left by Haney Griffs’ Start Slow. Aside from a life Joe Harris got on Haney's fumble in the second, no Griff man reached the paths until the fifth when Joe Harris got a texas leaguer and Bluege a real hit to right that put Joe on second. But nothing came of it as Bluege was for§ by Peck, Ruel lofted to Fothergill anu Ruether’s liner went directly into the hands of Haney Tt was different in the next session, however, when Goslin’s triple to right- center cashed Stan Harris, who had hit into a force play after McNeely singled. Goose then was stranded when Joe Harris rolled to O'Rourke. Ruether pitched himself out of a deep hole in the sixth when, with the es filled, through O'Rourke’s safety and passes to Heflmann and Blue, he glipped @ third strike over on Tavener, and Dutch also played a_prominent part in the re ation of two runs in the following frame. After Bluege had been set down in | the seventh, Peck and Ruel both ped singles to center. Ruether duced a safety over second that cash- ed Rajah and sent Ruel to third, from where Muddy tallied, after Rice had rolled to the box. on McNeely single to Tavener in deep short. Ruether and McNeely were deft when Fothergill made a_fine running catch of Stan Harris' drive close to the foul line.

Triple Is Wasted. Joe Harris' triple to right-center off Dauss with one gone in the eighth availed nothing. Moon was trapped on Bluege's roller to Haney. O: veached third during the run-down, and Peck stole cond after drawing 2 walk, but they were left when Ruel was set down on a called third strike, a decision he protested so vigorously he was given the gate. Tt was in the home pter that the contest away. Cobb st the poling far over M eely’s head. This blow netted three bases and ended Rugther’s regime. Russell came in to starg’ auspiciously by whiffing Hell- mant, but what transpired thereafter was of the reverse order. Blue sin- gled Tobb home with the tally that broke the tle, and Tavener beat out a perfectly placed bunt to Bluege. Bassler's long fly put Blue on third, and when Russell uncorked a wild pitch.

F. Hoyt's speedboat Teaser stole a march on Wood yesterday. It set a record of 2 hours and 40 minutes for the estimated 150 miles, an average of miles an hour. The Century’s “heduled running time is 33 minutes slower over a distance of 145 miles. The Teaser did not actually race the train, however. Wood’s will be the first race broad- st, mile for mile, by radio. A giant { plane will fly above the boats in view of both the train and the river. An- nouncers with radio telephone and telegraph transmitter will report from the plane to interconnecting land sta- tions, which will relay the messages to stations WGY, Schenectady, and WJZ, New York. Wood will have to travel consider- ably faster than the 413-10 miles on hour with which he set a world speed- boat record at Hamilton, Ontario, in His three boats, the Baby Gar . plloted by himself; the Baby Gar V. ‘piloted by his brother George, and the Cigarette, Jr., piloted by L.

Florfan McBride whooping things up for the Tygers yesterday. The former shortstop and ex-manager of the iriffmen, now Cobb's first lieutenant, :s noisy as ever on the coaching ines. Expecting a bunt from Peck with second and first occupied in round ayed so far in he was unable k to his station in time to throw and complete a v ted back of the mid- way in the sixth to clutch Rice's roller and throw him out. It was a fine effort. With McNeely on in the sixth, Stan Harris connected for a wallop to right that landed but an inch or so outside the foul line. Bucky then forced Earl. him in the eighth inning that he may draw a suspension, although the fact that Muddy never “cusses” may save im. over the left-field wall in the fifth, but traveled almost to dead center, where the field is deeper. Goslin misjudged Haney’s double in the eighth, the ball falling just over his head close to the fence, but the Tygers didn't need the two rums it produced. There will be no base ball here to- morrow, an open date in the schedule, but the Griffs will not be idle, an ex- hibition having been arranged with a semi-pro team at Battle Creek, some three hours distant by train from here.
