Default Continuing the Ty Cobb/Ty Cobb back debate
Posted By: JimB

Scott,
That is fantastic research. Since "pipe" is always in quotations, I wonder if it was pipe tobacco (They mention 'smoking tobacco') that was being announced, or if that was not some current slang/double entendre from the press release. Either way, dating it to 1910 is a huge step forward.
