the game they went back to their
hotel aud discussed tho situation
There were conferences In small and
large groups. but nothing definite
was announced,
Manager Jennings was relieved
that Sunday, without game, would
give him time 10 adjust things.
The players did not strike because
Cobb was punished for striking the
spectator Mt New York. AS a matter
Of fact, they say they expected Cobb
TO be fined or at the worst to be
suspended for few days only
What they objected to SO violently
was the indefinite term of the
suspension and the refusal OF Pres

An odd feature of tile strike is tho
sympathy which the Detroit players

Moran Meets a Prince

When Jackie Clarke was riding
in the six day bicycle race at
Berlin the Crown Prince of Ger
many was frequent visitor, He
went to the track one morning
about II O'Clock when the riders
were just plugging along. He
wanted some excitement and asked
that Clarke sprint for him. The
local boy did so aud tho Crown
Prince was so delighted that he
invited Clarke TO his box and
chatted with him for several min
utes. The next day Jackie was
presented with pair Of cuff but
tons bearing the imperial coat Of
arms, the same being a present
from the prince.
All this aroused the jealousy cf
Jimmy Moran, the veteran Irish
rider, and when the crown prince
again visited the race Moran In
sisted that he be introduced to his
royal highness- Floyd MacFar-
land arranged the introduction and
was present with Clarke. The
crown prince chatted with Moran
and Clarke for few minutes and
then produced a cigarette case and
passed il around MacFarland and
Clarke each took cigarette AS a
matter of courtesy, but Moran
spurned the offer with sfI never
smoke that kind. Havo ye got tho

MacFarland says that the Crown
Prince took Moran g faux pas as
huge joke and laughed uproarious.

HILADELPHIA, May 1S.-As a
result Of the first big strike III
the history of major League
IL baseball in this country. the
members of the Detroit Amer
lean league team are tonight facing
severe punishment at the hands Of
the league officials.
Tho Detroit players refused to play
against the Athletics this afternoon
when President Ban Johnson of the
American league refused TO lift the
suspension of Ty Cobb. A substitute
team was beaten, "a TO 3. by the
Mackmen. The men are therefore

of the season. In any event. they VIII

cials, 10 get off without "A heavy fne.
The strike may involve tho whole
league. as the Players Protective
association has taken 1t up.
AS soon as President Johnson
learned in Cincinnati, where lie was
attending a meeting OF the National
commission. that the men had actual
ly refused TO play and had walked OFT
the field, that official wired Jennings
that he would be IN Philadelphia to-
morrow morning and would take per-
sonal charge of the trouble.
President Naviu of the Detroit club
also sent word To Jennings from De-
troit that he would be here In the
morning. Tho three men will have
conference over the situation and
then they will deal with the striking
players.
Manager Jennings was badly wor-
ried man when he learned that his

MORE THAN 100000
WILL VOTE FOR PRESIDENT

That more than 10 million persons
in the United States will record their
votes for president in the campaign
| OF the present year is evident from
the official statistics of the presiden-
tial vote published in the Statistical
Abstract of the United States, which
has just been issued by the bureau
of statistics of the department of
commerce and labor.
Prior to 1883 no governmental Of
fetal record of the votes cast for
president existed; but an act passed
by congress on February 3, 1887,
made it the duty of the executive of
each state to report to the secretary
OF state the names of electors and the
number of votes given or cast for
each person voted for, and these re-
ports, made to the secretary of state
in 1888 and in each subsequent pres
idential election, form the basis of
the official record of presidential cleo
tions in the United States. This rec
ord, which has been published for
several years in the Statistical Alb
stract of the United States, suggests
that the total number OF votes cast
in the presidential election of this
year will for the first time exceed .
million.
The total number in 1908 was a.
SS7, 200; in 1900, 13,965,OO0; in
1892, 1904 900, and in 1883, H.
3S1 900. Dividing the vote thus Of
ficially recorded into the population
named by official counts or estimates
for the years in question, this shows
the average population for each vote
cast, as follows: In 1908, 5.9S per-
sons for each vote cast; in 1904,
610; in 1900, 5.44; in 1896, $40;
in 1892, $40, and in 1888, 5.27.
The statements published in the
abstract show that the vote cast in
each state for the various candidates
in each presidential election from
1883 to 1908, and the electoral vote
by principal political parties, state
by state, during the same period
The above statement, showing the |
official record of presidential cleo
tions during the last quarter of a
century, illustrates the variety of in |
teresting and official information pre- !
sented by the Statistical Abstract is +,
sued annually by the department of
commerce and labor through its bu-
reau of statistics, the 34th number of |
which has just made its appearance.
1t shows, for example, that the
average per capita wealth of the |
country has grown from 1907 in 1850
to more than 81 800 in 1904, the !
latest official record on this subject;
the money in circulation, from s12
per capita in 1850 to s34 per capita
in 1911; the bank clearings from SO
billion dollars in 1887, the first year
for which an official record was
available, to 159 billion dollars in
1911; the individual deposits in
banks. from 2 billion dollars in 1875, |
the earliest year for which figures are
available, to practically 16 billion
dollars in 1911; the number of de-
positors in savings banks, from l
million in 1866 to 9A million in !
1911; the exports of domestic pro-
ducts. from little over 100 million
dollars in 1910 to over billion dol |
lars in 1911. and the value of manu-
features produced in the country, |
from l billion dollars in 1850 to 2 |
