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.” PHILLY PROMOTER GIVES FANS BACK GATE MONEY PHILADELPHIA, May 2.—Unpre cedented action in fight promotion was taker, here yesterday when Har ry Edwards, manager and chief own er of the Olympia Athletic Club, made an announcement that all who attended the Jack Britton-Pal Moore fight at His club a week ago would receive their money hack upon ap plication at the box-office. % Edwards has been lauded for the acti'in lie took in ordering the fight stopped. KLING PURCHASED FROM BRAVES; TO JOIN REDS CHICAGO, May 2.—Johnnie Kiing. formerly of the Chicago Cubs and later manager of the Boston Braves, vesterdnv signed a contract to catch for the Cincinnati Reds. Arrange ments for Kiing to Join the team were made by Garry Herrmann, president of the club who is here attending the meeting of the national commission. He was secured from Boston for a cash consideration and one outfielder. LOOKOUTS PURCHASE GOLDEN. CHATTANOOGA, TENN., May 2 — Pitcher Roy Golden was purchased by Chattanooga last night from the St. Louis Nationals to strengthen Klber- feld’s wabbly pitching staff. The question of the man who will be let go to make way for him is open, lying between More. Chappelle and Troy.

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.” FODDER FOR FANS Charlev Faust is willing to testify that baseball is a trust—and a durned mean one. too, according to Charles, lie savs he is perfectly willing to mascot for McGraw, and the brute won't even let him sign a contract. * * * The Cardinals play 27 games on their present road trip—which goes the Crackers 8 better. * * * The result of better weather in the Soui'u this spring than last is that all the big league pitchers are going strong er than thev were a year ago beldom do the teams pile up enough hits to run into two figures. * * * A good stiff breeze would blow the Federal League plumb away. * • • We don't know exactly what ephe meral means, hut the Federal League looks it, anyhow. * * * Tf the National League should go in for glad clothes, please imagine Hank O’Dav garbed in immaculate white. * • * Paui Cobh.

There’s to be a "Johnny Evers Day" at the Polo Grounds on May 10, when the Cubs and Giants line up for their first clash of the season. A few thou sand admirers of Evers from his home town in Troy, N.

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. PELICANS SECURE JAMES FROM THE VOLUNTEERS NASHVILLE, TENN.. May 2.—By selling Outfielder Jesse James to New Orleans yesterday at the waiver price, Manager Stfftwartz 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. SCHMIDT TO STICK WITH MOBILE; CLARKE DEAL OFF MOBILE. ALA., May 2.—Catcher Schmidt, formerly of Detroit, who was recently traded to Indianapolis for Catcher T’lark* will probably stay with the Mobile team, as Clarke has failed to report. M.anagi r Finn is au thority for the statement that the deal is off. By Joe Agler. 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. Sporting Food L By GEORGE E. PHAIR NOT GUILTY. Before the judge the young man stood nnd 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 th( kindly voice the. young man raised his head. “This joe was peddling peanuts at the baseball yard” he said; “The bases all were full of men. the score was 2 to 2, And as Frank Schulte swung his bat this rummy blocked my view” “Not guilty,” sgid the noble judge. “I hereby set you free. And if you get a chance go out and slay a fete for me!” The consensus of opinion among base ball scribes Is that all Frank Chance needs is 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 Unholz In connection with free lunch, but recalling our promise, we refrain from mentioning Mr. Unholz In con nection with free lunch. Far be it from us to mention Mr. Unholz In connection with free Itinch. In fact, when we hit the tree lunch it will be our foremost endeavor to refrain from mentioning Rudy in connection with free lunch. We sh a 11 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 our citizens are 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.." auoth Mr. Gotch.

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.
