Ty Cobb of the Detroit Tigers and Buck Herzog of the New York Giants comes to blows during an exhibition game in Dallas. Cobb also slides into second base and slashes Herzog with his spikes, and the two exchange punches before being separated. Later this evening, they fight again in Cobb's hotel room. Cobb refuses to play the remaining exhibition games against the Giants, scheduled through April 5. After the tour, the Giants send Cobb a telegram: "It's safe to rejoin your club, we've left."
