NEW YORK, Dec. 20 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Tyrus Raymond Cobb
has signed a contract to manage the
Detroit team of the American league
next season.

national. As a batter of tremendous
power; spectacular outfielder and
baserunner, he ranks as a sensa

of his play draws throngs of fans
to the ball parks wherever he ap
pears.
Cobb was born in Royston, Go., in
1886 and joined the ranks of profes
sional ball players in 1904. The fol
lowing year the donned a Detroit uni

that club until the close of the 1918
penant season, w-hen he enlisted in
the chemical warfare service and was
later promoted to the rank of cap
tain.
Cobb has batted year in and year
out well above .200, leading the
American league for 10 years in suc
cession. He also holds the league
record for stolen bases with a total
of 96 in one season.

but the club has refused all such
propositions.
Following the war, Cobb returned
to the ball field as a member of the
Tigers, again playing a sensational
game during the seasons of 1919 and
1920. He is one of the real idols
of baseball and his selection as
leader of the Tigers will undoubt
edly bring great prestige again to
that club.
