DETROIT TO PUT
NEWMEN|NFIEL.D
NAVIN WILL BE AlD-
ED BY OTHER CLUBS TO OVER
COME SITUATION.

Philadelphia, May 20.-With the ar
rival here of Frank J. Navin, president
of the Detroit club, further develop.
ments are expected today in the extra.
ordinary baseball situation brought by
the strike of the American league
team. Ban Johnson, president of the
American league, also is here.
The game scheduled for today be-
tween Philadelphia and Detroit has
been postponed by agreement. If there
is no settlement the game scheduled
between the Tigers and Washington
in the national capital also will be
played at another time. If there is no
settlement of the trouble today or to.
morrow immediate steps will be taken,
according to Mr.. Johnson. to put a
new team in the field to represent De-
troit. The team, Johnson says, will
be a good one, but he declines to say
from what source the players will be
drawn. 1t Is probable, however. at the
special meeting of the American
league called for tomorrow in this city,
each of the club owners will help Mr..
Navin to put together new team.
Hugh Jennings, it is understood, has
agreed to manage the new combina-
ton. According to Johnson, all the De-
troit players who refused to play Dall
last Saturday stand suspended.
Prior to the arrival of Mr.. Navin.
Ban johnson had little to say except
to reiterate statements made last
night that the players have automati-
cally suspended themselves.
"It is up to the presidents of the
clubs to carry out their league obi
cations" said President Johnson.
|. well, I see we are probably black
listed" said one of the Detroit play
ers as he met some Of his conrad es
in the corridor of the hotel where the
team is staying. The players, how
ever, did not appear to take chat
feature of the case very seriously.
Mr.. Johnson declares the players
must first return to the ball field or a
new team organized before's Cobb's
case will be taken up.
Some of the Detroit players are re-
ceiying letters and kilograms offering
them places on teams. principally in,
dependents or so-called outlaw organf
cations If no settlement of the pres
ent trouble is reached several of the
Detroit men are in favor of making a
transforming tour All the players
who signed the telegram sent to Mr..
johnson last week have announced
themselves as still firm in their stand.
