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.

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 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.

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.

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. By Percy 11. Whiting. 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, his emitters' breaking os Ray mond's did In days gone bv • * • 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 the Texas League a few days ago with a victory, but has lost the decision in all subsequent efforts. He Is with Tom CaVsdh’s Waco club. * • * 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. By Joe Agloi*. 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. LOOKOUTS PURCHASE GOLDEN.

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.
