How It Happened

New York, May 1S.-It Is said by Luck CTS counsel that the man who was beaten by Cobb made the following statement about Cobbs assault upon him.
 T was sitting with some friends just back of third base" Tucker said. The Detroit team came on the field then. There was a good deal of booing of Cobb I did not hear anyone make a remark that was out of the way. It all seemed good natured. l had on an alpaca coat. Cobb seemed to single me out for he yelled back. Oh, go back to your walters job
 "The yelling kept up. We could not
 sec that he was getting excited some one shouted an unpleasant character ization at him next. Then he came
 straight for me. followed by half a
 dozen players with bats in their hands.
 He hit me in the face with his fist, knocked me down, jumped on me, kicked me, spiked me and booted me behind the ear.
 "When it was over some of my | friends wanted me to have him ar rested but I did not want that done. He probably would have gotten off with light fine"
 Tucker continues under the care of
 doctor.

VANDERBILT WINS SOUTHERN MEET; OTHER TRACK MEETS

New Orleans. May 1S.-Vanderbllt won the Southern intercollegiate Ath- letic association meet here today with total of S6 points Tulane twas sec ond with 29 points, while Clemson was third with 23. Louisiana State college scored 20, Mississippi A. and M. 13 and Citadel 6.
 The seventeenth annual Southern Inter collegiate Athletic association track and field championship goes to Vanderbilt, the Tennesseeans scoring 36 points in the meet, which closed here today. Tulane university of this city was second, with 29 points, Clemson third, with 23; Louisiana State university fourth, with 20; fifth came Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical, with 13 points; the South Carolina Military academy was sixth, with six points, and the representatives cf the University of Louisville, the only other college competing, failed to place in any event.
 Vanderbilt's victory came by grace of winning the relay race, which gave the Tennesseeans 10 points. Clemson, which won the championship successively the past three years, did not have so strong a team as usual and the sternest opposi- tion came from the local college, Tulane.
 Three new s. l. A. A. records were es- tablshed and one was tied in the two-day meet. Commagore, Tulane, broke the rec ord for the hammer throw with a toss of 137 feet inches, the old mark being 12l feet 51s inches, made by Parrish of Texas, in 1904. Lewis of Clemson set a new mark in the mile run of minutes 43 2-5 sec onds lowering the old time 1 seconds. The old record was made by Nelson of Vanderbilt in 1909.
 The third record to go was the discus throw, and it was made by Dutton of Louisiana state. After losing in the reg ular contest Dutton made a special effort for the record and threw the missile 10S feet inches, breaking the old record of 10S feet inches, made by Freeland of Vanderbilt in 1911. Dutton's best in the competition was 102 feet inch.
 Time of minutes 2 2-5 seconds in the half mile, won by Johnson of Vanderbilt, equals the old record made by Davenport of Georgia Tech in 1908.

DETROIT PLAYERS REFUSE TO
 PLAY WITH COBB SUSPENDED
SUBSTITUTES PLAY FARCICAL GAME WITH ATHLETICS-THE SCORE WAS "A TO 2-MACk PLAYS REGULAR TEAM

| Philadelphia, May 1S.-Baseball his tory was made here today when the players of the Detroit American league baseball club went on strike and re- fused to play the scheduled game with Philadelphia because Ban Johnson, president of the league, had refused to lift the suspension placed against ny Cobb for striking a spectator in New York.
 As consequence the Philadelphia de- feated d make-shift team played in the field by Manager Jennings by the score of 24 to 2. The Detroit team was made up mostly of Philadelphia amateur players with the addition of McGuire and Sugden, employed by Detroit as scouts.
 The regular Detroit players went to the ball park, but when they learned after short practice that Cobb would not be permitted to play they returned to their hotel. While the game was being played they discussed the situa- tion and everyone questioned said he felt thzi the suspension of Cobb was an outrage and they would stand to- gether."
 The players expressed the best of feeling toward the owners cf the De- troit club but were outspoken in their criticism of MT Johnson. They said that if the matter is not settled they may go on "a transforming trip.
 Connie Mack, manager of the Phila- delphia Americans, said tonight that Detroit had placed team in the field according to rules and therefore he played and won the game. He would not comment further.
 The Game
 Without a regular Detroit player on the team, a club representing that city
 in the American league was defeated by Philadelphia this afternoon by 24 to f2. Manager Jennings players went to the park, put on their uniforms, prac- ticed few minutes and then changed uniforms with a bunch of players gathered up by the former Nearly all the men put on the field by Jennings were amateurs, many being members of the St. Joseph college team.
 Sugden and Mcclure, the former major league catcher and scout for Detroit, were pressed into service behind the bat and at first base. Detroits pitcher. Travers, could do little but fiirt the ball up to the plate and the home players banged his delivery all over the field and ran bases recklessly Collins ied with five hits and four stolen bases.
 Manager Mack started with his regular team except two substitute outfielders. He used three pitchers, Coombs, Brown and Pennock. The crowd of 2O,OO0 per sons took the affair as joke. At the end of the third inning there was rush by couple of thousand bleacherites, who demanded their money back. When this was refused nearly all returned to their seats. There was no disorder at the end

Johnson Makes Statement

Cincinnati May 1S.-President Johnson this afternoon issued the following state ment:
 T am amazed at the attitude of Player Cobb and his teammates toward the American league, which, while insistent on good order on the field and strict com pliance with the rules of the game, is insubordnation itself. Player Cobb was indefinitely suspended on the report of the umpire in charge of the game in which this unfortunate incident occurred. This did not and does not mean that tho order would remain in force longer thai was absolutely necessary to make thor ough investigation of the affair.
 Is Surprised
 q did not name specified term for his ineligibility for two reasons. These are first, l did not know the exact time that would be required for the examiua- tion. and secondly, until the investigation was completed l could not determine whether the player was guilty as charged.
 An American league player who s taunted or abused by patron has only to appeal to the umpire for protection against attacks from the grandstand or the beachers, to have the objectionable party evicted. This has been our national practice in every park of the circuit and the policy will be continued
 And it follows there was and IS now no occasion for protest, as Cobb could
