If I Jin j HUiMll ON DETROIT TREASURY - :- v' T. ; ' Georgia Peach Feels Free to Negotiate With Any Ball Club in Financial Barrage Intended to. Smoke Frank Navin ' Out of Not Less Than $20,000 a Season. NEW YORJx, Dec. 30. (I. N. S.) The major league owners are watching the antics of Tyrus Cobb and the Detroit club with unusual interest these days. The great Tyrus, just back from , chemical warfare branch of the army, is in what is believed to be -.the midst of the not little campaign for continued salary at not " less than $20,600 per season. - Taking his cue from the effects of chemical warfare, Tyrus is laying down a barrageevery so often in an effort to smoke out the Detroit owners. - His talk of retiring meanwhile is taken with the utmost reserve, for nobody belieyes the Georgia peach will quit the pastime. Reports from Augusta, Ga., Cobb's home, indi- cate that he feels free to consider any offers from any club, though he admits that the Detroit club has the right to first claim on his services and in this respect he agent. . Cobb hap made the point, however. that since hip contract with Detroit expired last fall and since Detroit rave him a ten day notice of re-, lease, according to the . terms of hi contract, he feela free to turn down any offer Detroit may make If he aces fit. This ia the point which la interest ing the baseball owners, for If Cobb ' succeeds In Retting the terma he desires it la believed all the other , players similarly released wiU give the owners a peck or trouble. Inci dentally the ten days' notice waa served on practically all of the play ers, and title to the men, it was agreed, by a mutual or "KcntlemarTs agreement" between the club owners, should be held by the teams which last employed them. Reports that Miller Huffglns waa 'after Cobb have proved to be false. Hug-gins- would have violated the agreement between the owners had he approached the great Tyrus. 0EEG0N NINE TO GATHER STARS OF ANTE -WAR DAYS Four of 1917 Sphere Smashers Are Back, and Other Big Stars Will Be on Hand.

Boxing Critic Says Dempsey Unpolished A boxing authority, after seeing Jack Dempsey, the challenger for the heavy' weight boxing crown, in action, says Dempsey is a natural fighter, and con tinues : "He is a killing hitter with eith er hand, and he hits from any angle at short or long range. He can take hard wallops as well as he deals them out, and his endurance appears to be without limit. But at the present time he lacks generalship and finesse. He makes many mistakes that would bo fatal if he made them when opposed by such a heavy hitter as Willard waa when the big champion was at his best."" Arthur Shafer May Be Coaxed by Mac Arthur Shafer, the former Giant in field star, may be back with the New Tork club next season. Shafer, who is In the aviation corps of the " army in California, retired from the national game five years ago. He ia wealthy, and is said to have grown tired of the daily grind of baseball. Manager Mc Graw of the Giants has made several unsuccessful attempts to get Shafer back into the game. Supply of Labor Soon Will Exceed General Demands Washinrton. Dec. 30. U. P.)

The full effect of the release of hun dreds of thousands of soldiers and mu nitions workers has not yet been felt the report states, and the saturation point of labor has already been reached. With outdoor work scarce during the next few months, Nathan A. Smith, as sistant director general. United States employment service, said it may be come necessary to release only those soldiers who have peace-time positions awaiting them. Reports show unemployment in 32 out of 111 districts, while three-weeks ago only seven out of the same communities reported idleness. Shortages were re ported in 22 districts, while three weeks ago the number waa 27. ' The number of communitieax where supply and de mand were practically equal dropped from 68 to .59 in the same period. , i r ,i i i Moonshine Ditch Company Wins Suit ' Joseph. Dec. 30.

With two days remaining before the Tournament of Roses game, the Great Lakes squad and the Mare Island ma rines are practicing football tactics at their best paco today.

John McGraw Puts An Eye on Daubert Jake Daubert the star first baseman I of the Brooklyn ' Nationals, has been 1 traded to the New Tork Giants for Wal ter Holke, first baseman, and George Smith, a pitcher. Daubert has led the National league for three years aa a champion hitter, and in covering first base, is rated on a par with "Peerless Hal" Chase of Cincinnati. Holke is a fair first baseman and a heavy hitter. but he does not compare with Daubert in all-around playing. Smith was loaned to Cincinnati last season and pitched some good ball for Matty'a Reds.
