1912 - Ty Cobb Offered Match - Wanted in Pittsfield, Mass., to Meet Billy Mantel

Failing to induce Young Britt or George Chaney to sign agreements for a match, Ty Cobb, the Philadelphian, will likely leave the city in a few days for Pittsfield, Mass., where he has been offered a match with Billy Gallant, a young New Englander, who has attracted much attention of late. Cobb made a hit with the fans of the Massachusetts town recently when eh outpointed Harry Thomas, the English champion, in 10 rounds. The Philadelphian is in good shape now and is confident that he can defeat Gallant despite the good name he has made for himself this season.
