SPORTING COMMENT
BY T. ft BONH8VILUQ.
■ -.
Tyrus Cobb, the famous Georgia <
peeeh ana ater or thr Detroit eham
ptona, seems to be well satisfied with
hie berth, and the ehaaoee are that
the Detroit magnate* will not let n:m
escape unless he ahould demand a sal
ary that would teem fabulous among
the high salaries now paid the rest
baseball players. Coob’s present con
tract calls for $*,900 a :oar, making
hlm-one ofttia highest priced tare
ball players now on the diamond.
Only several of the in i«t lainous
players in the world jet any such
salary as the star Uaumau and f'c lder
will haul down this year far his ser
vices.
Cobb has just announced the rlgn
ing of his contract, and he xxy* that
It covers a period of three year*. This
Indicates a mutual saUofactiin oa the
part of both the player ind the club
as to the conditions of his association j
with the club end the salary lie Is to j
receive. Outside of Ida alleged pro
clivity for wilfully spiking basemen,
Cobb is one «f the mot gentlemanly
players now in the game, md seldom
has a word to say. rtis Jovial atti
tude and pleasant smile, especially
after he has pulled off one of hie
star plays, is one cf his mot picas
Ing characteristics to tho ftns, end
one of the most worrying to the op
posing team. He always comes up
smiling from a difficult slide or land*
on a base with a broal grin after a
long hit, and ;he*e signs •■t jollity
are always dlre.de,d et the member*
of the opposing team, o'ten to iheir
confusion.
Cobb denies 'hat he has ever wil
fully spiked a fallow-player, and it is
but right to give him tfts benefit of
thn rimiht Hp 1u<i Imiph ih« mnAru
ing theliv removal from th« game ior
weeks, but no one ltmiilar wl'h the
facts has yet Accused the stxr of ma
liciously malm In* another player.
Catcher Johnny KUng is still hav
ing his troubles in his effort* lor re
instatement Sovi.;ol da>s ago It was
practically conceded that the liule j
catcher would be seen \.-:th the Cuts ;
this season, and counting on this, the
baseball world has already begun to
estimate the chances of Chicago tak
ing the National League pennant this
year.
It now develops that even more se
rious charges are to be preferred
against Kllng, and If they are pushed
It is quite probable that the National
Commission will refuse to sanction
hts reinstatement. According to the
evidence that has Just been brought
forward In the case, Kllng, while con
nected with the Kansas City organisa
tion. exercised' every effort possible
In opposition to organised baseball, !
and that his efforts were successful to
the extent of causing considerable
financial loss to the regular Kansas
City team. It ts claimed that he ad- i
vertlsed himself as the star attraction, |
and ttraT tre seriously affected the ewe- |
cess of organised baseball In that
territory.
The presentation of this evidence

Magnate* Acquire Present Site and;
Will Built1, a Modern Base
ball Plant.
WASHINGTON, March 4—The
Washington ball club Thursday ac
quired Us own home, when the an
nouncement waa made that the site
which the club has occupied for sev
eral years had been purchased out- ;
right.
For more than a year President 1
Noyes has been negotiating for this
property, but until yesterday no ami- j
cable agreement could be reached. 1
The deal was made through Jordan !
& Co. for the Totten estate. There |
are JS1.000 square feet in the prop- I
erty. and the price paid was in the
neighborhood of $177,000. The pur
chase includes not only all the land
now in the lnclosure, but about $0
feet in back of the eenterfleld fence,
fronting on Fifth street, which, when
* nlant In hf>rp. will
utilised as a part of the park.
While the club official* refuse to
make known their plans as to erect
ing a new plant, It la understood that
this will l»e done next fall, and that ■
a new plant will be In readiness for
the opening game of the season of i
mi.
President Noyes, in speaking of the
purchase, said: "We have been work
ing on this matter for a long white,
but not until this morning did we
reach an agreement, and I at once
called the board of directors together
and had them ratify my action. We
are not ready to discuss our plans,
r« far as erecting a new plant Is
concerned. Of course, we have that
In mind, but we are not going to take
It up at once."
Site ia Convenient.
The site bought yesterday to by far
the best in the city for the purpose.
It to well located, and has splendid
transportation facilities. It has been
a ball park for many yean, but has
never had a modern plant upon It.
In making this purchase the Wash
ington club has been placed on a
sound basic. It to the flmt time In
the history of baseball in this city
that the club has owned Its own boll
park, and the effect of this Will be far
reaching. It to the Intention of the i
Hub t-> erect within the next year
or m modern baseball plant, one
which Will have ample accommoda
tions for thousands more than the
present plant can ahelter, and will bo
In keeping with the plants In other
major league clttea
No announcement ever made by
the local club proved such pleasing
news to the patrons of the game here
ns the fact that the dub now owns
Its own ball park. It proves that the
men behind the dub have confidence
In Washington as a basrbalt city,
md, furthermore. Indicates that they

is can do much better than this if
to tit* effort that Kllsg offend s*rt
oueeppositton right at the heart «t
baseball presents a serious phase to
his case, and it will hardly be possi
ble for the National Commission to
overlook so Important an offense
against the principals of their or
ganisation. Publto sentiment Is uni
versally tn favor of Ktlng, and the
enure baseball world would be glad
to see hltn in fi_arn*as again this sea
son, but the commlaelon will now have
to cast aside the matter of sentiment
and deal with the case on Ite merits.
President Murphy has not ret been
heard from with reference to the
additional charges against Kltng. The
time which was allowed him to pre
sent to the commission a concise
statement of his side of the case has
expired, and be has not yet been
heard from. Murphy may be called
upon to offer some lucid explanation
of the new chargee, and will doubt
less use his best efforts to have them
set-aside on some grounds. The mat
ter of sentiment la sure to play an im
portant part In the ease, If not as a
body, then personally. ' The members
of the commission will listen to the
whispers that will come from all sides
asking for the reinstatement of
Kllng.
• • •
Frank Ootch, the world’s heavy
weight wrestler, has announced that
after this season he will retire from
the mat and will hereafter be known
as the champion farmer. The only
reason Qotch gives for this action is
that farming Is bis hobby, and that
he has Invested considerable Of his
earnings in Iowa farm lands, and la
anxious to spend his entire time tn
their culUvaUon.
even after his hardest battles, and ba
has never met a man who even ap
proached him In the art. It can
hardly be that he Is retiring for fear
that he will lose a match and the
title at any time soon. He la just
about in his prime now, and Could
probably remain champion for years
should he desire to follow the game.
It may be claimed that he feels
himself going back and wants to re
tire gracefully before his title Is taken
from him, using hts levs for farming
ae an excuse. This can hardly be.
Ootch will retire much after the fash
ion that Jim Jeffries did from the
ring—the undefeated champion.
Should it be necessary, he may, like
Jeffries, come back at any time to
regain the title from undesirable
claimants. His work on the farm
may be counted upon to keep him in
good shape.
The retirement of Ootch will be
received with genuine regret by the
entire sporting world, as he has dons
probably more than any other wres- j
tier to Improve the class of the game, j
He has never been sceused of being a j
party, .of a fixed match. There will j
be a general scramble for highest
honors In the mat art as soon as the
champion retires.
