Philadelphia, May ia strike of the
entire Detroit baseball team wilt take
place tomorrow unless President john
son cancels the order indefinitely sus-
pending Ty Cobb for attacking a spec
tator in the grand stand during the
Tiger Yankees game in New York last
Wednesday.
The fact that players of the Detroit
team have sent a telegram TO President
Johnson declaring their intention to
mutiny was verified by Manager Jen-
nings OF the Tigers, who said that the
telegram had been signed by all the
members OF his team except himself In
discussing the sensational and unusual
action Of the Tigers Manager Jennings
said:
The players of the Detroit team take
the ground that the penalty inflicted
upon Cobb because he defended himself
from an unWarranted attack by a rooter
In New York was uncalled for and un-
just.
They considered that at the worst Ty
should have received only a fine Under
the rules OF the Players Protective As
scciation- all the, players agree to stand
together. This is case where the De-
troit players consider that they are
called upon to stand up for the rights
Of a feilow-member of the team.
Il wired President johnson to-day not
to take any action in the case until he
had heard the evidence which we will
present, this evidence including a large
number of afidavits OF persons who saw
the entire AFFAIR The Hltimatum Of the
Detroit players was wired to President
johnson to-day. We understood that he
is now on his way to Cincinnati and a
telegram was sent to him In that city"
The mutiny Of the Tigers against the
authority OF Ban johnson is one Of the
biggest sensations in baseball in recent
years. Never before has a team of
ball players dared to question the au-
thority or judgment of President john
SON. For. that matter even the club
owners have been very chary Of criti-
cising the American League executive.
II is not considered likely that Mr.
johnson will accede to the wishes OF
the Tigers, according to one Of the
champions officials, who did not want
to be quoted. Mr. Johnson has ruled
with an iron hand for nearly twelve sea-
sons.
The officials of the Athletics were
greatly excited over the action OF the
Tigers. although they declined TO dis
cuss IT in advance Of action by President
johnson.
Following is the statement signed by
the players:
10 ran johnson: Feeling Mr.. Cobb Il being done
an injustice by your action in suspendinE him. we
the underigned refuse 70 play in another game
after to-day until such action is adjusted to our
sztisfactOn He was fully justified in his action. as
no one could stand such personal abuse from any
one We want him reinststed for tOmorroWis game
May IS O. there will be no game. II players can
not have protection. we must protect ourselves
The above was signed by the eighteen
members comprising the team.

to the fact that 50 large proportion
of enlist I'd men belong to the element

Job. They enlist and as soon as they
get a position elsewhere they drop

Were the enlisted men taken largely
from clerks in commercial houses ana

opinion of Colonel stern. But this IN

MAKES STRONG
SUFFRAGE PLEA
Miss Adams Delivers Address
to 1000 in Auditorium
in Saginaw

SAGINAW, Mich, Oct. 17.--Miss
Jane Adams. of Hull House, Chi
cago, delivered an address to 1000 I'm
the Auditorium yesterday afternoon
on the suffrage question. Miss Ad-
dams spoke for As minutes and her
arguments for votes for women
brought out prolonged applause.
Mrs. Williams, Of 4apeer. president
of the aEinhisan@ Fedsration bf wom-
ems clubs, under whose auspices Miss
.Addanfs spoke. yesterday, said she
understood the suffrage workers
would ask the federation not only to
indorse the suffrage plan, but to ger
actively into the fight. The majority
OF the delegates to the federation con-
vention are wearing suffrage badges.
Miss Addams said her experience In
federal, state and county work con-
vinced her strongly that women
should have the use OF the ballot.
I'm Chicago" she said, "the women
started the public lighthouses and
when they became attractive, the
municipal government took them over
and placed men in charge. Political
appointees care for them. They are
Indifferent to the women and do not
give the care women would. still
women have nothing to say In the
management.
'Tn 1911, the death rate among in
fants was so high in the hot period
in Chicago we had to call a special
meeting OF the council and CONSIDER
the milk and tenement problems. Tne
men were not as interested as the
women. Still women did not have :
voice in bringing about the syorms
which they knew would be beneficial.
The women's judgment was better
than the mems.
Miss Adams said that In Chicago
the men called in the women Ior au-
vice about Fairgrounds, "The Ameri-
can women is the only member OF the
Anelo-saxon race that has not the
municipal VOTE" she continued, I'VE
are 40 sluggish We don't insist we
have this right"
