T HE National Commission h if
gone out of its way to give Ty
Cobb the worst of it.
At Its meeting yesterday it did td *
inevitable—reinstated him and fln«l
him $50, which was fair enough but
m addition it launched a tirade, both
unfair and ridiculous, against the fa
mous Georgian.
The commission declared that
Cobb’s actions were such as to bi lk
down the rules of discipline, and v - re
harmful to the game’s interests. Ta \v
s$.id—
That h# ‘‘issued ultimatums through
the press.*
That he tried to “arouse public sen
timent in hie favor.”
That ho has been “guilty of viola
tions of the essential regulations of
hie club."
That "hi* public conduct * * * is
too well known," etc.
Friends of the greatest ba ball
player In the world are Incensed
against the National Commission for
its unfair and unjustified tirade. Bar
ring Cobb's attack on a spectator last
year, it is known that he has not com
mitted any serious breaches of bus',
ball rules. The charge that h- “is
sued ultimatums” is unfair and un
true. Such statements as h * actually
iesued were extremely guar ed In
flammatory utterances credited to him
were largely put in his mouth by
space-grafting correspondents.
It is not unlikely that this atta *k
on Cobb will stir up the Georgia dele- 1
gation in Congress, and that it wid
reeult in the pressing of the investi
gation of the so-called “bas--bail
trust” and of the charge that baseball
players are virtually in peonage.
The full text of the Baseball Com
mission’s statement follows:
^ Here Is the Statement.
“Player Tyrus Cobb, who avers that
he was not aware that his status was
affected by his failure to report at
the start of its 1913 pennant race t<»
the Detroit team, of which he ha-
been a member for several seasons, on
April 25 notified the commission that
he had entered the service of that
club with the request that he be de
clared to be in good standing.
“It appears that the player's failure
to report to the Detroit club was due
to inability to agree on terms with
that club. Subsequently to the begin
ning of the American League sc.it n,
however, after a brief conference with
the president of his club, these cliff* r-
ences were amicably adjusted. If the
only question involved vn re the •
pensation of the player, the commis
sion would have been inclined to pass
the matter. The commission.- how-
^iver, can not permit the conduct of
this player in the past to go unnoti d.
“Recognized as one of the great, st
players of the game., with a salary as
high as any in the profession, his ac
tions on many occasions were such as
not only to break down the rules of
discipline, established by the club, but
harmful to the game’s Interests In
stead of negotiating with his club on
k business basis during the *”'.i!y
spring, he issued ultimatums through
the press to xVouse public sentiment
in his favor.
Cobb Is “Knocked.”
“Without „ Into details, the
commission is informed that in the
past the player has been guilty of fre

in many instances is too well known
to patrons of the game to require

“Never Wins But They Keep Him”
By R. W. Lardner.
C HICAGO, May 2.—The privilege comes only a couple of times a year—
the privilege of meeting face to face the greatest of baseball ex
perts—Charles Dryden, of Mississippi. One of the times was yes
terday. when the Cube played Pittsburg at the West Side Park while the
Sox were packing up for their Detroit trip. It would have been a nice
afternoon to drink, but that’s all past and over.
Mr. Dryden was sitting in Mr. Murphy's press box, his records, his
notebook and a half-down finely sharpened pencils spread out before him.
"How’s everything In Niles, Mich.?” was his greeting, and then, with
out waiting for a reply: “I should think you’d get enough of the slobs
and mutts over on the South Side without coming, on a day off, to look
at the slobs and mutts over here.”
We explained that our visit was for the purpose of renewing aevnaint-
anceship with Arthur Hofrnan.
Go to Detroit to-night?" he queried.
We nodded assent, and he asked:
"Michigan Central, through Buchanan and Niles?”
-\'o; Wabash, through Kingsbury and New Paris.”
•‘Too bad you can’t make the trip in the daytime. Great scenery on
the Wabash. Nothing to it. I wish I could go.”
•‘Well, I wish, for your sake, you could. But think of this: Next
Sunday night you’re going East with the Cubs. You’ll hnve a dandy
four davs of traveling back and forth between New York and Brooklyn,

you out to the park in one day and back the same night. And then you’re

be the visiting team in the fourteenth. And don’t forget that cute little
l'ide from Boston to Pittsburg and oue blissful Saturday there before the
beautiful trip home. 1 don’t see why you envy me the Detroit jump.”
“Curses.”
“Hut you’re going to miss Chance Day in Chicago."
“Yes. but I’ll have Memorial Day with Evers and the G. A. R. in
Pittsburg.”
•What do you think of the Cubs?
“This is a family newspaper.”
“How about the Sox?”
“Even more so. By the way, I suppose Ping Bodle attributes bis suc
cess in rolling to bases to the Acme beer be drank while in California
last winter.
“Do you still enjoy the game? ... ... ..
“Not as much as I used to. You see, all my friends are with the
Minneapolis team.”
• What do you think of Boston and Brooklyn.'
•‘I never think of them until I have to.”^
“It seems to me you’ve taken on weight.”
"Yes I’ve been dining with Dav at the best hotels—goose livers,
pheasants, two kinds of pie and a dime for the waiter.”

NOT GUILTY.
Before the judge the young man
stood and hung his guilty head,
For he had slain a fellow man—had
left him void and dead.
And as the jurist was about to hand
the youth his time
Be said: “Young feller, tell me why
you pulled this heinous crime.”
And as he heard the kindly voice the
young man raised his head.
“This joe was peddUng peanuts at
the baseball yard,” he said;
“The bases all were full of men. the
score was 2 fo 2,
And as Frank Schulte swung his bat
this rummy blocked my view.”
"Not guilty,” said the noble judge.
“1 hereby set you free.
And if you get a chance go out and
slay a few for me!”
Tha consensus of opinion among base
ball scribes Is that all Frank Chance
needs Is a baseball team.

but recalling our promise, we refrain

4 RELIEVE we may not need any
I more pitchers.” So says Pres
ident Frank Callaway of the At
lanta ball club. “I’m willing: to be
shown but I think with any luck the
ones we have will go through.”
This utterance strengthens the be
lief that the Cracker pitching staff
isn’t to be materially reinforced at
present.
“What’s the good?” inquires Pres
ident Callaway, “we might get worse
pitchers than we have now.”
What will happen will be this:
Bill Smith will put his pitchers
over the jump in turn. If a man
flickers he 1« likely to keep him
In and let him get bumped. When
the Crackers were ahead Smith didn’t
have the heart to take any chances.
Now he Is willing to risk anything to
get a line on his pitchers. Watch a
lot of them go through Are and water
in the next ten day.-.
After that, look out for some
changes.
* * *
T3 1TCK BECKER adopted a quaint
method of geting away from the
Crackers. He bought his own release
under an optional agreement.
You set* It was like this, a Texas
League club wanted Buck, but he
didn't care to go to Texas. It was
too far from Washington. So he of
fered to buy his release, but he didn’t
want to put up any real money.
Finally they framed it up this way.
If Becker can get another job he is
to turn over the proceeds of hi? sale
to this new club to the Crackers.
The local association may not cash
this one but they are taking the
gamble.

(”)l T R old pal, Kenneth Todd, king-
^ pin baseball and sport writer of
the Lone Star State, kicks in with
some notes of Texas League doings
that are of Interest to Southern
League fans. Here is the crop:
Since becoming a member of
the Houston club Andy Ware,
who the Chattanooga manage
ment could not see. has pitched
his club to three successive vic
tories, one of them being of the
shut-out variety. In the three
games he permitted but 14 hits,
his epitters breaking as Ray
mond’s did in days gone by.

Charley Fritz, former Southern
Association southpaw, broke Into
the Texas League a few days ago
with a victory, but has lost the
decision In all subsequent efforts.
He Is with Tom Carson's Waco

A queer play came up in Hous
ton Sunday. Harbin, pitching for
Galveston, made a wild pitch
when no one was at bat and a
man scored from third The man
who was supposed to be at bat
killed so much time In reaching
the plate that Wilson Matthews
ordered Harbin to go ahead with
his work. In his eagerness to slip
a strike over Harbin sailed one
past the catcher.
Of opurse the runner scored
from third, crossing the plate be
fore the batter even reached It.
PELICANS SECURE JAMES
FROM THE VOLUNTEERS
NASHVILLE, TENN.. May 2.--By
selling Outfielder Jesse James to New
Orleans yesterday at the waiver price,
Manager Schwartz cut his team down
to 17 men and is now within the sal
ary limit. Two more pitchers will be
released in the near future.

B irmingham, ala., May 2.—
©island looks like the missing
link in the Cracker infield. If
you Wanted to, you might make that
read with the wrong meaning. But
don’t do it.
The Idea is tha\ to us, the Cracker
infield has looked mighty good this
spring save at shortstop. There al
ways seemed to be a gap there. A
link was missing 10 make the chain of
defense complete.
Bisland is the link.
That fellow plays ball like a regu
lar shortstop. He throws and bats
right-handed, he hits hard and he
certainly covers oceans of ground.
His throwing is accurate and he looks
GREAT.
Let me tell you something—At
lanta has the hardest hitting club in
the Southern League when Bailey gets
back in the line-up. It is faster than
thunder, too.
Baus^wein Works To-day.
Bill Smith is going to shoot Bause-
wein and Dunn at ’em this afternoon
—which is pretty hefty ammunition,
If anybody should ask yoq. Smith
believes that Bausewein has come
around all right and that he can stand
the Barons on their heads.
Moley will rely on Thompson oi
Hardgrove. This Thompson has been
going great lately, and I guess vve will
find him harder pickings than we did
over in Atlanta.
I believe that we will take one out
of the two remaining games—maybe
both of them. This sounds chesty, but
watch us. We’ve found our \atting
eye, which was temporarily mislaid,
and that’s all we needed.
Team Is Confident.
The team is in good condition arid
crammed full of confidence. All we
needed was to get hitting again.
We sure came from behind with the
old swats yesterday and won a ball
game, 7 to 4. We hit right up to our
capabilities and got to Sloan in one in
ning strong enough to win the old
pastime.
Birmingham is drawing fine and we
played to a big crowd. Now' that we
threaten to close in on them, 1 look
for big turn-outs.

CALGARY. ALBERTA, May 2—Ar
thur Pelky stopped Carl Morris, the Ok
lahoma hope, in the eighth round here

Morris made a miserable showing and
was hissed by the fans during the en
tire fight. He was out of shape and
made very little effort to do any real
fighting. Morris was badly beaten at the
finish, and. although the fight was
stopped by the referee, Pelky gets credit
for a knockout.
Pelky is Tommy Bums’ protege and
should be heard from In the future.
He iried hard at all times. He will
probably meet Luther McCarty at a later
date. Pelky recently held Tommy Burns
to a draw.

Smith Pied President’s Message
+•+ +•+
He Was “After” a Sporting Editor
By Bill Photon.
C INCINNATI. May 2.—Billy Smith, now a minor league manager of
great renown, was not always a diplomat and a man of shrewd
est calculations. Nowadays, Billy Smith stands ace-higli with press
and public, he is a good fellow with the s<*ril*es. and the major leaguers
consider him a wise and able leader. But in the days of his youth, when
his blood ran hot and his temper was still hotter. Mr. Smith was quite a
scrapper and forever involved in war and trouble.
Down in Mobile, oh many, many years ago, Billy Smith got into a
vigorous quarrel with a sporting editor. Acrimonious remarks were ex
changed through the wire netting, and next morning found Mr. Smith
doubly furious. His foe had token a good healthy kick at him, and had
fried, panned, boiled and roasted him for further orders. Mr. Smith vowed
vengeance, and renewed the vow at frequent intervals all day long.
Bill Starts for His Man.
During the afternoon, Billy kept away from the press box. He had
figured that he wouldn’t start anythldg at the ball yard, but would go
that very night and tear up the office where his enemy held forth. The
resolution grew more firmly fixed as night wore on, and when Mr. Smith
finally started for the office he was ready to light a legion of devils. It
was nearly midnight when he reached his goal, and he found the place a
beehive of industry. As it chanced, a Presidential message of great impor
tance had 1km*ii issued from Washington ; all over the country the millions
were waiting for that message, and the type were clicking from Portland,
Me., to Portland, Ore.
Mr. Smith wasted no time. He made Ids way to the office of the
sporting editor and declared war. There was a brief skirmish, in which
the invading army was victorious. Mr. Smith turned the enemy’s flank,
broke through his center and began to crumple up his reserve. The sport
ing editor ran out of his sanctum, and galloped up the hall, with Mr. Smith
braying in full cry at his heels.
As the battle surged up the hall, a squad of hardy printers hove in
sight, each man carefully lugging the form In which reposed a page of
the Presidential message. These black and ink stained typos loved their
sporting editor, who had been liberal with ball park passes, and they
would not see him abused by any wild-eyed, raging, two-fisted insurrecto.
Then Comes the Blow-Off.
With a hoarse chorus of rage and determination, they surged forward,
and every man, with a fearful crash and a rattle of falling type, de
posited his burden on the head of Billy Smith. Mr. Smith went to the
floor, with punctuation marks sticking all over hlH scalp and suggestions
as to the tariff in his ears, while comment on the proposed battleships
jammed his mouth beyond repletion. Shattered and full of type he lay;
strong men came and bore him forth, and it was ten days before he could
resume his place upon the club.
R OCHESTER, May 2.—With Tom
my McMillan pretty badly stove
up and with four other top-
notch players incapacitated the Ro
chester team is in awful shape.
McMillan’s Injury Is not serious. He
twisted his leg in a recent game and
has not been able to play good ball
since.
New players for the Rochester
Baseball Club are coming. Just what
the deal amounts to or what athletes
are involved isn’t known, but Man
ager Ganzel and President Chapin
hod a heart-to-heart long-distance
telephone chat yesterday that Is ex
pected to result in some sort of deal,
Insofar as Frank Farrell of the New
York Americans was an interested
third party.
The local club has met with a series
of reverses sufficient to disrupt any
ball club in a minor league. For in
stance, read:
Outfielder Roland Barrows—Leg
broken in training camp.
Shortstop Tommy McMillar»—Leg
twisted in league game.
First-Baseman Schmidt—Finger
badly lamed and player disabled.
Catcher Walter Blair—Suffering
from lumbago.
Pitcher Kiepfer—Also on sick list.
And Ganzel counted on these five,
as much as any other combination,
to get the club away to a flying start.
Critics who have had a chance to
get a close-range view of the Cham
pions say they won’t do—at least,
they don’t shape up as formidably
as last year. With all the men men
tioned back in the line-up It may be
different.
