o'ROuRkE SAYS
 DETROIT PLAYERS
 DIDN'T DO RIGHT

 President O'Rourke of the Connec- ticut league does not consider the Detroit players were justified in strik- ing at Philadelphia Saturday because Ty Cobb's suspension was not lifted. s"Their conduct was disgraceful and reprehensible.' declared Uncle Jeems. "and will work great injury to the game.
 ..In the first place Ty Cobb had no right to go into the stand to hit a spectator. If he was insulted by a fan he should have informed the um- pire who would have ordered the snectator elected. These players will lind they have met their match when they go up against Ban Johnson.

CINCINNATI IS NOW BASEBALL MAD
TENTH INNING VICTORY OF REEDS OVER GIANTS CAUSES WILD
 ENTHUSIASM.

< Cincinnati. O.. May 2o.-Refona the largest crowd that ever saw ball game in Cincinnati, the Reds dragged the Giants from first place yesterday by beating them 4 to 3. The paid attendance was about 29.00Q. The game was bitterly contested from start to finish. Suggs had one bad inning, but that was all. The Giants threw away twoechances to score by taking too big lead of first and Mo Lean prevented two attempts to steal. Ames seemed to hold the Reds well in hand. but he weakened badly in the finish.
 The crowd started to root like mad in the tenth. They ciapped their hands In unison and they yelled. When Hobby led on with single the park became a bedlam. Mitche1fs single caused further tumu1t, all though he was caught at second when he tried to advance on the throw to third. Egan wasted no time. but put the second ball pitched into the crowd in left field and the winning run came across. Egan broke for the club house after touching first and Cincin- natl went baseball mad.

BOSTON MANAGER .sAYs DETROIT
 PLANTERS HURT GAME BY
 REFUSING TO PLAY SATURDAY.

Pittsburgh. May 20.John Kling. manager of the Boston Nationals, said last night the Detroit players were foolish for refusing to play in Phila- delphia. Kling says the team will ac- icomplish nothing by it's action, but will hurt the national game.
 J "Cobb's action was uncalled for, said Kling. stHe has done some rash things before, and had better learn that he can't do these things and get away with them every time without punishment Did you ever hear of Wagner, Lajoie, Walsh, Young or Mathewson doing such a thing?

This gives Car roll a percentage of s.500 in the Sus- pended twice and reinstated twice. Carroll was in uniform at Sea Breeze island yesterday but did not get into the game.

 Harry Mason. the former Spring field nrst baseman, win be appointed as an umpire in the Connecticut league to take Colgate's place. Coll gate wired Presidents O'Rourke yes- terday that he was sick and would re:ign; He came from the west and this climate did not agree with him. Mason visited the president last week and applied for . Job. He was rec ommeudAd by several managers. Ma son is big fellow and ought to make good official.
 Tom Ccnnery, the Hartford man. ager. said a good word for Mild Mike Doherty, who was on the stan last season. Doherty managed the HoI- yoke club until 1t disbanded. He did we'll as an umpire in 1911 and may get a chance under the present ad- ministration.
 Freddy Gibbs had something on the ball at Sea Breeze yesterday. The Senators were popping up and hit ting easy grounders.
 There was a crowd of 2,000 on hand. There was q big cheer when Russell was announced as catcher and maybe the fans didn't give Har- vey hand when he cut down the only two Senators who tried to steal second.

The first OF the week about auto drivers

The state law is very strong on this
