As THEY STRIKE

Philadelphia. May 20.--When the
Detroit team left the grounds Satur-
day afternoon, thousands of local fans
stood and cheered for fully five min
utes until the last man of the retreat
ing club had disappeared from the
park. Hughey Jennings, manager Of
the tigers, Immediately brought upon
the field scrub team, composed Of
veterans, who had not donned a base
ball uniform in many years, and some
youngsters from st. Joseph's college,
who were only too glad to get the op-
portunity to play in fast company.
Cobb has received kilograms and LETT
ters from players in both leagues in
dorsing his action and promising their
support. The tigers went to Shibe
park on schedule time this afternoon
prepared to play, but when the team
got on the field the umpire declared
that Cobb must not enter the game.
Immediately the entire eighteen play
ers marched off the grounds and were
replaced by the broken down veterans
and the young collegians.

The rules Of the American league
provide penalty of $4,000 from a
team that refuses to play and for that
reason Hughey Jennings, who is heart
and soul in sympathy with the strike,
got the scrub outfit together.
All forenoon Jennings was busy try
Ing to reach by telephone former base
ball stars who reside in this city. At
noon two or three battle SCARED veter-
ans appeared at the hotel and were
greeted with rousing cheers by the tig-
ers. They were Immediately taken to
room and uniforms, shoes and gloves
furnished them. Jennings said just be-
fore leaving for the ball park at $3.50
that he could not tell what his lineup
would be until later, as several Of the
players he expected to secure would
report at the clubhouses. Anyhow, the
| blonde manager said, winking: 1--WE
want to have a little surprise party at
