Star Player Butch What a Temper Detroit Tigers
Detroit April 9 Trouble makers are not wanted on the baseball diamond. Tyrus Cobb has earned a reputation as a rumpus maker with the Tigers. Last year bickerings were plentiful and Cobb bore much of the blame. This season he has already had one fist fight in training camp, the other with Charley Schmidt. The rest of the team sided with Schmidt. Manager Jennings intervened. Cobb is a star but was dumped on the market. He was offered to Cleveland for Elmer Flick, who declined. Other teams shared the view. What to do with Cobb remains a managerial problem.
