What’s the Use Knowing the Law, Anyway?
Copyright, 1913. International News Srnrlcc.
By Jo Swinnerton
r T'llK National Commission his
j gone out of its way to give Ty
Cobb the worst of it.
At its meeting yesterday it did t; ■
inevitable—reinstated him and finnd
, him $50, which was fair enough—but
in 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 break
down the rules of discipline, and were
harmful to the game s interests. They
said —
That he “issued ultimatums through
the press.”
s 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 well 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 com
mitted any serious breaches of base
ball rules. The charge that he “is
sued ultimatums'' is unfair and un
true. Such statements as he actually
issued were extremely guarded. In
flammatory utteranc es credited to him
were largely put in his mouth l>v
space-grafting correspondent?.
It is not unlikely that this attack
on Cobb will stir up the Georgia dele
gation in Congress, and that it will
result in the pressing of the investi
gation of the so-called “baseball
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
be was not aware that his status wa«
* affected by his failure to report at
the start of its 1913 pennant race to
the Detroit team, of which hr ha*
been a member for several seasons, on
April U5 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 Deague season,
however, after a brief conference with
the president of bis club, these differ
ences were amicably adjusted. If the
only question involved were the com
pensation of the player, the commis
sion would have been Inclined to pass
the matter. The commission, how
ever. can not permit the conduct of
* this player in the past to go unnoticed
l "Recognized as one of the greatest
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 bis club on
a business basis during the early
spring, he issued ultimatums through
. the press to X'rotise public sentiment
In his favor.
Cobb Is “Knocked.”
“Without going into details, the
commission is informed that in the
past the player has been guilty of fre
quent violations of essential regula
tions of Ms club. His public conduct
in many instances is too well known
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 U of more im
portance than the interests of an in
dividual player, however great his
ability.
"The Detroit club is to be com
mended for its recent stand and cen
sured for its former passive policy in
dealing with the player in matters of
this kind, and notice is served on all
clubs that in the event of failure on
their t>art in the future properly to
discipline the player whose actions
ere detrimental to the game, the com
mission will of its own initiative take
action.
“The player - reinstatement will be
made permanent during good beha
vior, on payment of a fine of $50 to
the secretary of the commission.”

Dryden Says Hess Is Best Pitcher
Q O © O O © ©
“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-
jierts—Charles Dryden, of Mississippi. One of the times was yes
terday, when the Cubs 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 aDd over.
Mr. Dryden was sitting in Mr. Murphy’s press box, his records, his
notebook aiid a half-dozen finely sharpened pencils spread out before him.
“How’s everything in Niles, Mich.?” was his greeting, and then, with
out waiting for a reply: "1 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 acquaint
anceship with Arthur Hofman.
Go to Detroit to-night?” he queried.
We nodded assent, and he 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. Rut think of this: Next
Sunday night you’re going East with the Cubs. You’ll have a dandy
four days of traveling back and forth between New York and Brooklyn,
and then four days more of the Polo Grounds, with its delightful scenery
and people. And then you’re going to Philly, where the street cars whisk
you 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
by the visiting team in the fourteenth. And don’t forget that cute little
ride 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.”
“Curses.”
-But 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, 1 suppose Ting Bodie attributes his suc
cess 111 rolling to liases to the Acme beer he drauk while in California
last winter.
“Do vou 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.”
"In my opinion, who is the greatest pitcher in the country.'”
“Otto Hess He never wins, but they keep him.”
“Where do you think the world’s series will be played?”
“In Ocean Springs, Mississippi.”

NOT DOT TO BE
By Percy H. Whiting.
( (Y BELIEVE 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 i? 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 fire and water
in the ryext ten day?.
After that, look out for some
changes.
* • •
"DUCK BECKER adopted a quaint
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, 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.
Th£ local association may not cash
this one but they are taking the
gamble.
• * •
QUR old pal, Kenneth Todd, king-
w 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 spitter? breaking as Ray
mond's did in days gone by. *
• • •
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 everything in
sight. Matty’s comeback was
that the pitchers could not hold
the men on.
• • •
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
club.
* • *
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 soored from third. Th** man
who way 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 course the rujiner scored
from third, crossing the plate be
fore the batter even reached it.

NASHVILLE, TENN.. May 2.—By
selling Outfielder Jesse James to New
Orleans yesterday at the waiver price,
Manager Stfftwartz cut his team down

ary limit. Two more pitchers will be

B irmingham, ala.. May 2,—
Bisland looks like the missing
link in the Cracker infield. If
vou 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.
Blsland is the link.
That fellow plays ball like a regu
lar shortstop. He throws and bats
fight-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 you. Smith
believes that Bausewein has corns
around all right and that he can stand
the Barons on their heads.
Moley will rely on Thompson or
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 us. 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, 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. I look
for big turn-outs.

“Not guilty,” sgid the noble judge.
“I hereby set you free.

Smith Pied President’s Message
O O © Q 0 © ©
He Was "After” a Sporting Editor
mmsa *
Bv Bill Phelon.
C INCINNATI, May 2. Billy Smith, now a minor league manager of
great, renown, was not always a diplomat arid a man of shrewd
est calculations. Nowadays, Billy Smith stands ace-high with press
and public, he is a good fellow with the scribes, and the major leaguers
consider him a wise and able leader. But in the days of his youth, when
ids blood ran hot and his temper was still hotter. Sir. Smith was quite a
scrapper and forever involved in war arid 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 taken 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 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 fqr 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 been 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 his center and iiegan 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 herds.
As the baffle 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 tall park passes, .and they
would not see him abused by any wild-eyed, raging, two-fisted lnsurreeto.
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 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.
But the President’s message was spoiled beyond all redemption. The
hour was late; it was impossible to assemble the pied type in time for re
construction of the forms, and that paper came out in the morning with a
bare skeleton of the mighty missive, while the managing editor raved like
a baffled bloodhound, and down at the hospital the .surgeons were still
'picking eloquent sentences out of the scalp of Billy Smith.

rHE EVANS CHEMICAL CO., Cincinnati, G.
R OCHESTER, May 2.—Witli Tom
my McMillan pretty badly stove
• up and with four other to;»
notch players incapacitated the Ro-*^
Chester team is in awful shape.
McMillan’s injury is not serious.
twisted his leg in a recent game and
has not been able to play good ball
since. *
McMillan’s injury is probahlj a di
rect result of his holdout. He got
practically no regular practice this
spring and jumped into league base
ball before he was properly hardened.
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
had a heart-to-heart long-distance
telephone chat yepterday that is ex
pected to result in some sort o!' deal,
insofar as Frank Farrell of the* New
York Americans was an interested
third party.
The local club has met with a -eries
of reverses sufficient to disrupt any
ball club In a minor league. F. r in
stance, read:
Outfielder Roland Barrows —Leg
broken In training camp.
Shortstop Tommy McMillan Leg
twisted in league game.
First-Baseman Schmidt—Finger
badly lamed and player disabled.
Catcher Walter Blair—Suffering
from lumbago.
Pitcher Klepfer—Also on sick list.
And Ganzel counted on these live,
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
pion* 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.
