What’s the Use Knowing the Law y Anyway?
Copyright, 1913. International News Service,
By J. Swinnerton
T HE National Commission ; >
gone out of Its way to gi\.’ T.
Cobb the worst of it.
At its meeting yesterday it did t
inevitable—reinstated him and fin* 1
him $60, which was fair enough -but
in addition it launched a tirade, both
unfair and ridiculous, against th* fa
mous Georgian.
The .commission declared that
Cobb’s actions were such as to bt • a
down the rules of discipline, nd w<-re
harmful to the game’s interests. Th-y
said—
That ha “issued ultimatums through
tha press.”
That he tried to “arouse public sen
timent in his favor.”
That he has been “guilty of viola
tions of the essential regulations of
his club.”
That “his public conduct * * " is
too wall known,” etc.
Friends of the greatest baseball
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 < om-
mitted any serious bleaches of h-i®-
ball rules. The charge that .he “is
sued ultimatums” is unfair and un
true. Such statements as he u tun y
Issued were extremely guarded. In
flammatory utterances credited to him
were largely put in his mouth by
s pa ce - gra f t i n g cor re s pon d e n t s.
It is not unlikely that this att k
on Cobb will stir up the Georgia dele
gation in Congress, and that it will
result In the pressing of th inve-n-
gation of the so-called “baseball
trust” and of the charge that baseball
players are virtually in fUfou ige.
The full text of the Baseball Com
mission's statement follows:
Hers la the Statement.
“Player Tyrus Cobb, who avers that
he was not aware that, his status we
affected by his failure to report at
the start of its 1913 pennant rac* to
the Detroit team, of Which h- 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 lx * d<
dared 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 1 ‘gin
ning of the American League season,
however, after a brief confid ence with
the president of his club, tho-e difb r-
ences were amicably adjusted If the
only question involved wore the com
pensation of the player, the commis
sion would have been inclined to i '>-
the matter. The commission, how -
ever, can not permit the conduct of
this player in the past to go unnoticed
“Recognized as one of the gr- Jest
players of the game., with a salary r
high as any In the profession, his <
tlons on many occasions were sue’;
not only to hreak down the rules • :
discipline, established by the club, bir.
•harmful to the game’s interests, in
stead of negotiating with his club on
a business basis during the oarlv
spring, he issued ultimatums through
the press to grouse public sentiment
in his favor.
Cobb Is “Knocked.”
“Without going into details, b ■
commission is informed that i the
past the player has been guilty of fre
quent violations of essential rig h.i-
lions of his club. His public concur
in many instances is too well kn->wn
to patrons of the game to require
comment thereon by the commission,
except to serve notice on him and all
other players that a repetition there
of will not be permitted to go unpun
ished in the future, for a realization
of the game’s welfare is of mor im
portance than the interests of an in
dividual player, however great his

“NeverWinsButTheyKeepHim” NOT DUE TO 8E BIS GAP; TESI He Was “After” a Sporting Editor
By R. W. Lardner.
C HICAGO, Ma.v 2.—Tlie privilege comes ouly a couple of times n year—
the privilege of meeting face to face the greatest of tmsobali ex
perts Charles Itryden, of Mississippi. One of the times was yes
terday. when the Cubs played Pittsburg at the West Side Part? while the
Sox were packing up for their Detroit trip, it would have been a nice
afternoon to drink, but that’s ail past and over.
Mr. Dryden was sitting in Mr. Murphy’s press Imx. his records, his
notebook and a half-dozen finely sharpened pencils spread out before him.
"How’s everything ill Niles, Mich.?” was his greeting, and then, with
out uniting 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 ccip'-tint-
anceship with Arthur Hofman.
Go to. Detroit to-night?” he queried.
We uoddeu assent, and lie asked;
“Michigan Central, through Buchanan and Niles?”
"No; 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 nwht you’re going East with the Cubs. You'll have a dandy
lour days of traveling back and forth between New York and Brooklyn,
;i . 1 then four days more of the I’olo Grounds, with its delightful scenery
•mi] And'then you’re going to Phill.v, where the street cars whisk
von out to the park in one day and back the same night. And then you’re
going to Boston, where all games are tied up in the ninth inning and won
In the visiting team in the fourteenth. And don’t forget that cute little
rido from Boston to Pittsburg and one blissful Saturday there before the
beautiful trip home. I don’t see Why you envy me the Detroit jump.”
“Oitfses.”
"But vou’re going to miss Chance Day in Chicago.”
“Yes, but I’ll have Memorial Lay with Evers and the O. A. K. in
Pittsburg.” ' ,
“What do you think of the Cubs?
“This is a family newspaper.”
"How about the Sox?”
“Even more so. Bv the way, I suppose Ping Bodie attributes lus suc

last winter.
“Do you still enjoy the gamer . ..... ..
"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 1 have to.’
“It. seems to me you’ve taken on Weight. ’
“Yes I’ve been dining With Dav at the liest hotels—goose livers,
pheasants, two kinds of pie and a dime for the waiter.’
• In mv opinion, who la the greatest pitcher in the country?
“Otto Hess He never wins, but they keep him.” .

Report That He Is Dickering With

President Callaway, of the local ball
club, is conducting a quiet investiga

Dispatches this morning stated that
Inflelder Dobard. sold by the local club
to Beaumont, had refused to report
nnd was practicing with the Bllllken
club, with which aggregation he ex
pected to catch on.
Says President Callaway: “We got

doing with the Montgomery club. If
facts ate true, as reported, we can

NOT GUILTY.
Before the judge the young man
stood and hung his guilty head.
For he had slain a fellow man—had
left him cold and dead.
And as the jurist was about to hand
the youth his time
He said: “Young feller, tell me why
you pulled this heinous crime."
And as he heard the kindly voire the
young man raised his head.
“This joe Urns peddling peanuts at
the baseball yard,” he said;
“The bases all were full of meu. the
score was 2 to 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 the!”
The coneeneue of opinion among base
ball scribes ia that all Frank Chance
needs le a baseball team.
ROTUNDITY.
Ping Bodie trained all winter long
And in the spring they found
That he had rounded into form
With the accent on the round.
We were tempted to mention Rudy
Unholt In connection with free lunch,
but recalling our promise, we refrain
from mentioning Mr. Unholt In con
nection with free lunch. Far he It from
us to mention Mr. Unholt lh connection
with free lunch. In fact, when we hit
the free lunch It will be our foremost
endeavor to refrain from mentioning
Rudy in connection with free lunch. We
shall never mention Rudy again In con
nection with free lunch.
SPEAKING OF ALLIGATORS.
A lot of slamming now and then
Is wasted on some baseball men.
Some of d!ir citizens ate interested
in the training methods of Messrs
Zbyszko and Le Marin. In other walks
of life they are approximately sane.
"If the proper Inducements were of
fered. etc.," quoth Mr. Gotch. Mr.
GotcH Is one who loves his art for art's
sake, as it were.

j ( » BELIEVE we may not need any
I more pitchers.” So aavs 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 i?» likely to keen him
in and let him get bumped. When
the Crnckefs 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 fire and water
in the next ten da ye.
After that, look out for some
changes.

OlTCK BECKER adopted a quaint
u method of geting away from the
Crackers. He bought his own release
under an optional agreement.
You see 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, hut he didn't
want to put up any real money.
Finally they framed it up this way.
If Becker can get another job lie is
to turn over the proceeds of hi« sale
to thin new club to the Crackers.
The local association may not cash
tills one but they nre taking tin
gamble.

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 f’hattanooga 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 threw
games he permitted but 14 hits,

Harry Mathews did not stick
long at Beaumont. After giving
him a week's trial Manager
Wheeler cut the old Southern
Leaguer adrift. Wheeler said that
Matty could not keep base run
ners from stealing evervthlhg in
sight. Matty’s comeback was
that the pitchers could riot hold
the men on.

Chaflejr Fritz, fofmrf Southern
Association pouthpaw, broke into

A queer plfty rame up In Hous
ton Sunday. Harbin, pitching for
Galveston, made a wild pitch
when no one was at bat and n
man Scored from third. The man
who Was supposed to be at bat
killed so much time In reaching
the plate that Wilson Matthrus
ordered Harbtn to go ahead tvil'i
his work. In his eagerness to slip
a strike over Harbin sailed one
past the catcher.
Of course the runner scored
front third, crossing the plate be
fore the batter even reached it,
PELICANS SECURE JAMES
FROM THE VOLUNTEERS
NASHVILLR. 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 he
released in the near future.

B irmingham, ala., May 2.-
Bisland 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 to make the chain of
defense complete.
Bisland is the l'nk.
That fellow plays ball like a regu
lar shortstop. He throws and bats
right-handed, he hits hard and he
certainly covets oceans of ' ground.
His throwing is accurate and he looks
GREAT.
t»bC 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 titan
thunder, too.
Bausewein Works To-day.
Bill Smith is going to shoot Bause-
wein and Dunn at “cm thi.s afternoon
—which is pretty hefty ammunition,
if anybody should ask you. Smith
believes that Bausewein has come
around all ri£ht and that he can stand
the Barons on their heads.
Moley will rely on Thompson bi
Hardgrove. This Thompson has been
going great lately, and I guess we 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 tis. We’ve found our batting
eye. which was temporarily mislaid,
and that's all we needed.
Team Is Confident.
The team Is in good condition and
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, V to 4. We hit right up to our
capabilities and got to Sloan in one in-
nipg strong enough to win the old
pastime.
Birmingham is dra wing fine and we
played to a big crowd. Now that we
threaten to close in on them, I look
for big turn-outs.
Arthur Pelky Stops
Morris in Eighth
Burns’ Protege Hands ‘Oklahoma
Hope' Severe Lacing—Winner May
Meet Luther McCarty.
CALGARY, ALBERTA. May 2.—Ar
thur Pelky stopped Carl Morris, the Ok
lahoma hope, in the eighth round here
last night.
Morris made a miserable showing and
as hissed by the fans during the on
tire fight. Fie was out of shape and
made very little effort io 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 Toltimy Burns' protege and
should be heard from ih the future.
He tried hard at all times. He will
probably meet Luther McCarty at a later
date. Pelky recently held Tommy Burns
to a draw.

THE WANS CHEMICAL CO., UuctnmaU, O.
By Bill Phelon.
C INCINNATI. May 2. Hilly Smith, now a minor league manager of
great renown, was not always a diplomat ami a man of shrewd
est calculations. Nowadays, Billy Smith stands ace-high with press
and public, lie is a good fellow with the scribes, and the major leaguers
consider him a wise and able leader. But in the days of Ids youth, when
ids blood ran hot and his temper was still hotter, Mr. Smith was quite a
scrapper and forever involved in war and tremble.
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. Ilis ft** had taken a good healthy kick at him. nnd 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 anything 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 fight 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 Ifeon 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 his 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 hia Center and began to crumple up his reserve. The spurt
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 hull, 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 lieen 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,
nnd every man. with a fearful crash and a rattle of falling type, de
posited his burden on the head of Billy Am 1th. Mr. Smith went to the
floor, with punctuation marks sticking all over his 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, M*.y 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 itnjury 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 ano coming. Just what
the deal amounts to or what athletes
are involved isn't known, but Man
ager Gansel and President Chapin
had a heart-to-Tioart king-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
hall club in a minor league. For In
stance. read:
Outfielder Roland Barrows—Leg
broken in training camp.
Shortstop Tommy MrsMUlan—Leg
twisted in leHgue game.
First - Baseman Schmidt—Finger
badly lamed and player disabled.
Catcher Walter Blair—Suffering
from lumbatjo.
Pitcher Kk'pfer—Abo on sick list.
And Oanzn] count' d on these five,
as muc h as any other combination,
to get the club awqv to a dying 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
ns last year. With all the men men
tioned back in the line-up it may be
different.
