Detroit Players May Be Sus-
pended for Season.
CONFERENCE OF OFFICIALS
Johnson and Navin on Way to Phila-

TALK OF Transforming TRIP
Tigers Believe They Could Make
Money on Venture-Cobb
Gives Views.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PHILADELPHIA, May 1s.-As a result
of the first big strike in the history of
major league base ball in the history
the members of the Detroit American
League team tonight are facing severe
punishment at the hands of the league
officials. The Detroit players refused to
play against the Athletics this afternoon
after President Ban johnson of the Amer
lean League had refused to lift the sus-
pension of Ty Cobb. The men therefore
are liable to suspension for the remainder
lucky, according to base ball officials, to
get off without heavy fines.
As soon as President johnson learned,
in Cincinnati, where he was attending
meeting of the national commission that
the men had actually refused to play and
had walked off the field, he wired Man
ager Jennings of the Detroits that he
would be in Philadelphia tomorrow morn
ing, and would take personal charge Of
the trouble. President Navin of the De-
troit Club also sent word to Jennings
the morning. The three men will have
conference over the situation, and then
will deal with the striking players.
Manager Jennings was much worried
when he learned that his two chiefs were
on their way here. At his hotel. where
the striking players were awaiting de-
veiopments, he said he would not hazard
a guess as to the final outcome of the
strike.

Views of Ty Cobb.

Ty Cobb summed up the situation In a
statement as follows: THE fight which
Detroit is making is for a principle. The
American League has no right to punish
a player without giving him fair trial
first. I was punished without fair trial
and am now under suspension waiting
for President Johnson to make an in
vestigation. which we insist should have
been made before he took any action
whatever
More conservative men feel that when

morrow the warning factions will get to-

eessions. fight to the end along the

or course. l cannot say what the

to see how the players can get off with
out punishment. but whether 1t Will De q
fine or suspension for the remainder OF
the season, no one can tell until the con-
ference tomorrow.
A good many Of the Detroit players
witnessed the farce Of game between
the Athletics and the scrub" team Man
ager Jennings got together to put into
the uniforms which the regulars discard
ed After the game they went back to
their hotel and discussed the situation:
There were conferences in small and
large groups, but nothing definite was
announced. Manager Jennings was re-
lieved that Sunday without game would
give him time to adjust things. Ine
players themselves, however. boasted that
they were not worried over the situation.

lieved that Sunday without game would
players themselves, however, boasted that
they were not worried over the situation.
Object to Indefinite Suspension.
The players did not strike because Cobb
was punished for hitting the spectator at
the New York game. AS matter OF
fact. they say. they expected Cobb to be
fined or, at the worst to be suspended
for a few days only. What they OBJ
jected to so violently was the indefinite
terms of the suspension and the refusal
of President Johnson to withhold action
until he had made his investigation.
The players announced tonight that
if they were not reinstated in a body
and justice done to Ty Cobb, they
would leave the team and start on
transforming tour across the country.
all seemed confident that they would
make big money on such venture,
and apparently did not care much
what the officials did about their
strike. While some members Of the
Athletics expressed sympathy with
the Detroit players. there Is no Hkelt-
hood of their taking any action to aid
the striking Detroiters. The players
were averse to being interviewed on
the subject, but Connie Mack said he
Mack Not Afraid.
"I don't take any stock in this talk of
a sympathetic strike by my men," said
the Athletics manager. "The members
of our team are not necessarily concerned
in what happened in New York.

my men what they would do II appealed
to to strike in sympathy, but from what
/ heard of their conversation on the sub
ject l am not alarmed. OF course, some
of the players may feel sympathy fol
Cobb because every ball player has to
listen to the sort of abuse that was
directed at Cobb. am sure, though
there are better ways of meeting such an
attack than to go into the grandstand
and attack the offender"
An odd feature of the strike is the
sympathy which the Detroit players ex-
cited from the spectators at today
game. There has always been more or
less of a feud between the Detroits and
Athletics, and the local fans have been
quick to stand up for the home team

Should he insist upon Furnishing the
strikers and the players quit the league
in body, as they threaten to do, Detroit
would be left without a team. The most
likely solution of such difficulty would
be for all the other American League
clubs to contribute certain members OF
their teams to rebuild the Detroit club.

A Tyrant and 4 Terror,

Frederick l.. first king Of Prussia, was
worse than that Of Oliver Twist o.

king was tyrant Of the worst de-
scription, and his own family expert
enced him ut his worst. Frederick as
boy received instruction in music
and French from refugees in Berlin,
but when the king learned of it he
stopped the music peremptorily
The lad had little liking for military
pursuits. His father suspected his son
Of heresy without having any clear
idea of what his own theology really
was. Once in Il rage the king almost
strangled his son with window cord,
and at length matters were brought to
a crisis by the prince running away.
1t was only through diplomatic inter-
vention that E'relerick's life was
spared, for he was soldier, and he
had been guilty Of desertiOn. In his
fathers eyes this was heinous Of

was associated with the prince in his
