will not be reinstated and if the De-
troit players or those of any other
club of the American League reuse
to play this afternoon. as they have
threatened to do, they also will be-
punished
This was the answer here today by
President Ban Johnson. Of the Ameri-
can League. to the threats of the De-
troit Tigers TO strike if Johnson did
not rescind his action in suspending
Cobb for an assault upon a spectator
at the New York Detroit game.
Johnson SAYS he personally wit
messed the offense for which Cobb is
under suspension and declares the as
sault was wholly unwarranted.
"The league will make the club
owners stand aside and will act di-
rectly in all such cases" said John
son
He said he had wired Manager Jen-
nings for full particulars in the case
and when he receives the data would
make Cobbs suspension definite.
Johnson said he had no fear of a
Sillkt ny tue Dfllbii play a'hN W .fi'f
ers on other clubs in the American
League and that he wired Hughey
Jennings. manager Of the Detroit
Club. to order his men to play this ar
ternoon as usual.
Cobb is a fiery tempered Georgian
and that may have something TO do
with his action" said Johnson
NO player has any right TO attack
a spectator If any person uses abu
sive language 10 a player, all the
player has TO do is to notify the UNI
pirc and the umpire will call police
man to put the spectator out of the
park
There was a policeman within
twenty feet of the spot where Cobb
attacked the spectator" continued
Johnson. "and he could easily have
called the officer instead of taking the
matter into his own hands
