certainly they are not giving their
entire attention to baseball, as the
public has a right to expect.
"Cobb is one of the greatest players
the game ever saw, but when lie began
to threaten his players, that be 'would
railroad' them out of the game, some-
thing had to be (lone. I wrote him
more than a score of letters, demand-
ing that he stop his practice of signal-
liug every pitch to the man in the
box, which delayed games an hour or
more. But he did not stop. He still
is a great player, but he was a failure
as a manager."
