He knew that baseball, living under laws peculiar to itself, has always shied away from the courtroom. He recalled that in 1913, Ty Cohb was advised to go to court to gain his freedom from the Detroit Tigers, In the Atlanta Journal, Camp recently told the story of what happened then: "In 1911 Tynis Raymond Cobh led the American league in batting and base-running for the fifth time. He hit in 146 games, made 248 hits, scored 147 runs, stole 83 bases and hatted in 144 runs. Owner Frank J. Navin raised his pay to $9000 for 1912.

So, in 1912, Cobh batted .410 in 140 games and was the greatest box-office attraction baseball had known. "The following winter the Georgian asked $15,000 for 1913. He said the way he played he wouldn't last long. From April to October his body was a mass of contusions and lacerations. His legs wouldn't stand up.

Anyway, he told -Air. Navin: 'I'm worth $15,000 on the field and at the box-office, and I will have to have "Mr. Navin said, 'I won't pay 'Sell me said Cobb. 'New York will 'You'll play for Detroit or nobody, and you'll take what we Mr. Navin said, ending the discussion.

"The season opened on Thursday, April 10, with Cobb at his home in Augusta, Ga. On Wednesday, April 16, Mr. Navin announced to the Associated Press that Cobb was through with base-; ball unless he played on Mr. Navin's terms. "On the next day the Georgia Federation of Labor, which happened to be holding its annual convention in Augusta, adopted a declaring that a 'Georgia citizen, T.

R. Cobb, was being rennstated in the freedom of his inalienable right to work for whom lie may "The resolution charged that the reserve clause is contrary to the laws of every state and contravenes the Constitution of the I'nited States. The federation requested the Georgia delegation in Congress to demand an immediate investigation. "It was no idle gesture. In those days Cobh was a hero to every Georgian.

Furthermore, he was as smart off the field as on. "On Saturday, April 19, Georgia's two senators, Hoke Smith and Thomas W. Hard wick, announced jointly in Washington that thry were going to call for a congressional probe. 'This looks like they told the press. "Sen.

Smith wired Cohb: 'Send me copy of your contract, including reserve clause. Wish to see if illegal contract violating federal That was published in the Sunday newspapers. "But Navin had been informed by Detroit sports writers on Saturday and that afternoon he had telegraphed Cobb a message, the text of which was never made public. On Thursday, April 24, it was announced that a contract satisfactory to Cobb had been tendered and signed. The Georgian then resumed his playing at wages set by joint agreement, year by year.

They were high by contemporary standards. "Thus Ty Cobb, the Georgia Federation of Labor, Sens. Smith and Hardwick, licked baseball's illegal foundation stone, the reserve clause. This clause means: 'If you don't like the terms 1 offer, you can work for nobody else. You must do as I say, else you are That was 35 baseball seasons ago.

For the same reasons that Navin gave in to Cobb's demands rather than let him take his case to court, O'Connor was dissuaded from carrying through his threat to go to the law recently. One wonders what will be done in the cases of Mickey Owen and Danny Gardella. Both jumped organized ball to join the Mexican league and, as a result, were suspended opening pass failed but on fourth down he dropped one into the arms of Terry Brennan in the zone for an 18-yard touchdown.
