COBB IS RE|NSTATED
Johnson BIames Him for
Trouble and Imposes Fine.
WARNS ALL BALL PLAYERS
But Promises That They Shall Be
Protected From Abuse by
Spectators.
WARNS ALL BALL PLAYERS

CHICAGO. May o5.-President B. B.
Johnson of the American League tonight
announced the reinstatement Of Outfielder
Tyrus Cobb of the Detroit club, whose
suspension for attacking a spectator
who, he said. had insulted him in New
York, resulted in a strike by the Detroit
players last week. Cobb will be eligible
to play tomorrow. In addition to his
ten-day suspension he was fined $50.
President Johnson promised in a state
ment full protection to all players and
said the league had arranged to increase
the police force at every PARK, but de-
clared severe punishment would be meted
out to those players "who assume to act
as judge and avenger of real or fancied
wrongs while on duty
Following is the statement given out
by President Johnson:
After a careful investigation into the
ter between Player Cobb and Claude
Tucker. spectator at the New York
grounds May Is, l find that direct re-
sIonsibility for the unfortunate occur
renee rests. upon the player.
Evidence in the form of affidavlts
clearly shows that the player was the
first to employ vicious language in reply
ing to haunting remark of the specta-
tor.
Cobb did not seek redress by an ap-
peal to the umpire. but took the law into
his own hands. His language and con-
duct We're highly censurable.
''As lesson to the accused and a warn
ing TO all other players, l fix the term of
the players suspension at ten days and
impose fine of $50. He will be eligible
to play May %.
Full protection will be afforded to all
American League players against abuse
or attack from patrons. but sure and
severe punishment will be melted out to
those who in disregard of discipline and
of obligations to their club and league
assume to act as judge and avenger of
real or fancied wrongs while on duty
In pursuance of this policy the Amer
lean League has arranged to increa Sc
the police force at each of its parks. and
the home club on instructions from the
umpire will be required to remove from
its grounds. spectators whose actions or
comments are offensive to players and
fellow patrons

Chase golfers went to defeat twice in
this city today, the first time before the
Hermitage Club, by score of 3 to =,
and the second game TO the Country
Club of Virginia, by a score of 3 to ..
Both matches were closely contested,
and the defeat of the visitors was
largely due to unfamiliarity with the
grounds.
The first game began soon after IL
o'clock and was played in fine time and
before a large concourse of followers of
the sport.
In the afternoon the Chevy Chase
players journeyed TO the spa cious
grounds Of the Country Club of Virginia.

set in, and much of the contest was
waged while the rain was coming i'm a
steady downpour. The interest was such
that the players did not for moment
think Of letting up. The Country Club
players repeated the score of the game
between the Chevy Chase visitors and
the Hermitage of the forenoon
In this latter contest the players paired
as follows: William Palmer won from
Allan Lard, ii. Stewart Jones won from

BY J. ED GRILLO.

The sudden collapse of Griffths pitch
ng staff has resulted in three consecutive
defeats of the Nationals al the hands of
the New York tenn, and incidentally has
diminished the teams hold on third place
to the slightest margin.
Under ordinary conditions these games
would have been won. for fourteen runs
in three games is far above the teams
usual run-getting standard. and undoubt-
eddy would have assured victories had
the pitching been up to the mark.
But an average OF almost five runs to
the game was not enough to score single
victory At no time this season has the
team shown as much with the bat. and
it is particularly unfortunate that the
good batting streak should come at a
time when none of the pitchers seem to be
anywhere near their true form.
Even Johnson. usually consistent per-
former, seems to have slipped a cog. and
has lost his last two games. actually be-
ing hit hard by the Hghlanders yester-
day. Walkers weak work on the day
previous was not surprise. and that
Groom should not be effective with but
two days rest since he beat Detroit is
not to be wondered at, for he is not the
sort of pitcher who can stand lot of
work without good rest between games
About the only man Griffith can now de-
pend upon is Long Tom Hughes, and he
is no longer robust enough to be able to
work out of turn. The chances are, of
course, that Groom and Johnson will
come back to form, but with two more
games in New York and nve in Boston.
the chances for making good start on
the trip seem to have gone glmmering.
Barring the pitchers who have worked in
the three defeats. Griffith has Hughes,
Engel, Musser, Becker Cashion and
Akers Hughes IS the only seasoned man
of the lot, and. while 1t may be that one
OF the youngsters will produce the goods
when given a chance, the outlook is not
at all bright for the immediate future
Johnson's failure yesterday cannot be
attributed to overwork In fact, no star
pitcher has ever been handled with more
consideration than has johnson by Crit
fifth. He has never been asked to work
with less than three days rest between
games. and he has had as many as six.
Yesterday his inability to command the
Johnson. a pitcher Who usually has per-
feet control. should have days on which
he lacks control IL one of the mysteries
of base ball. but all pitchers no matter
how great. have such days
Griffith works Johnson with great care
for the reason that he considers him his
greatest asset, and he does not want To
take any chances of overworking MIN.
even il II meant more victories at this
time. If anything, Johnson is not worked
enough. Pitching a ball game when he
is in form. is little or no eXertion for john
son. and he could work more often with
out injuring himself. and he might be

able to show much better form The
greatest exhibition Johnson ever gave was
in 1893 when Cantllon worked him three
days in succession, on which he shut out
the New York team three consecutive
times.
Fear that the Nationals pitching staff
was not strong enough to keep the team
in the race was expressed in these col
umns early in the season. Johnson I'M
doubtedly is a wonderful performer, but
he alone cannot be expected to keep his
team in the race. To date he has had
fairly good help, especially from Groom.
but he is pitcher who cannot stand the
strain of a long campaign unless he is
able to get lots of rest between games.
Walker has been absolutely worthless,
while Hughes is not of the kind that can
be worked more than occasionally and
be expected to show good form. To date
none of the youngsters has shown much.
Akers looks good now and then. but is
far from consistent pitcher, while Beck
er does not show much improvement over
last year.
