, Polo Grounds, the Yankees taking a lease
from Mr.. Brush. This is a very possible
solution of the park problem, which is an
aggravated one in New York. BY the ar
rangement the National League club
would make considerable money out OF the
lease and the Yankees would have one
of the best parks in the country for their
home.
The schedules are SO drawn that there
are no conflicting dates. and the immense
and valuable tract under Coogans bluff
by the present arrangement is idle half of
the summer and all of the winter. Two
things appear to bear out this report al
though the officials of neither club will
confirm 1t. For a long time it has been
stated that Mr.. Farrell had selected a site
for new park near Kingsbridge.
However. no work has yet begun on the
grounds. and the answer made to queries
about this is that the title is not clear.
That is the first circumstance which sub
stimulates the rumOr. Secondly the YAM
KEGS lease ON American League Park ex-
pres within a year or two. No definite
information can be obtained from the
club as to exactly when this lease runs
out. but many who are supposed to know
assert that 1t ends this ason. Ball parks
are not constructed in a day, and the pro-
posed site at Kingsbridge will require a
lot of construction work, as the ground
has to be filled in. 1t is also long dis
lance from 42d street and Broadway.
Further, it became known that during
the strike of the Detroit club vigorous eff
forts were made by the owners of the
League to sign the Detroit players and
obtain American League Park for next
season. This apparently signifies that the
lease expires this year. Therefore 1t is
very probable that the Giants and Yam
KEGS will call the same park home next
season. and that this reciprocity act on
Memorial day is the first hint of the ar
rangement.

Cobb had appealed to them to go back
to the diamond, the striking Detroit base
ball players yesterday surrendered and
left last night for Washington, where
they will play today.
The settlement was effected after
Navin had conferred with the players
and Ban Johnson, the league president.
The situation today is the same as it
was Saturday, when the Detroit players
walked off the field after President john

been suspended for attacking a spectator
in New York. President Johnson will
punish the strikers with fines. These
fines will be taken care of by Navin. the
club president. The club owners of the
American League will meet here today
to discuss the Cobb case. and the size
of the fines that will be melted out to the
strikers.
The first step toward the settlement Of
the strike that threatened both the
American and National leagues was made
city Yesterday morning. He met the
PLAYERS at their headquarters in the AL
dine Hotel and appealed to them to go
back to their uniforms. He said he con-
sidered them all members of the De-

said further that they had not jeopar-

INSTRUMENTATION. although there would be
a heavy fine to pay. He said he would
attend to that
Cobb then rose and advised the players
to stand by their president. Thanking
them for their loyalty and their fight for

continued nagging, with foul language
Is what hurts. and it can be easily located
ana stopped by special officers.
The final game between the Browns and
the Nationals was a lucky affair for the
locals. as they won out by the score of
to 4. The visitors hit Dixie Walker
hard, slamming out thirteen hits. but
when the hits meant runs the Alabama
ironworker was there with the goods
I Ii was thought that the hot weather
would be of great benefit to Walker. but
Tor some unaccountable reason he pitched
game that should have been beaten
three times out Of four
The luck of the Nationals came up in
the very first inning, when Stephens had
Moeller thrown out at second by several
feet, but Pratt dashed into Wallace, both
trying to cover the bag, and as a result
the runner was safe Fosters hit fol-
lowed, and Moeller crossed the plate. Eos
ter stole second and when he tried to go
to third Stephens made wild heave
to that bag and Eddie continued on home.
In the second inning two more runs
came over as the result of Henry's triple,
a base on balls and singles by Moeller
and Milan.
In the third round was scored the l.
tionals' fifth and last run, the result of a
base on balls to knight, passed ball. a
fielder's choice and a dropped throw by
Pratt, when Henry and Jack tried for the
double steal.
An an example Of the Browns luck, the
fourth inning Is an illustration, when
they made four hits, including triple and
double. but scored only one run. fast
double play. following Laporte's triple.
wherein the Frenchman was headed on
at the plate and the batter doubled at sec
ond by McBride's good headwork in a
quick throw to knight.
Two were down and one on in the
sixth, when Walker struck bad Streab
in passing Wallace and Stephens. and
then came Compton's single to left that
drove in two runs. Charley Brown had
been pitching good ball, but he was pulled
out of the game to allow Compton to bat,
and the move proved a good one.
In the eighth the Browns made a gal
liant effort to tie up the score. and came
within three feet of putting it across
With two down, Walker became too con-
fident, and little Stephens slammed an
Outcurve to the left field bleachers for
three bases. Elmer Brown is something
of hitter, but Dixie evidently over
looked this and tried to sneak a straight
one over the plate.
AS a result Mr. Brown poked that ball
about fifty feet farther into left than
Stephens did, but he slackened up turning
third and a good relay by Mcbride nab
bed him at the plate by q yard. It was
good base ball on the part of the Browns
to send Elmer home. as his run would
have tied the score and it took a perfect
relay to head off the play.
Dixie" was himself again in the Browns
final turn at the bat, and although Stow
all sneaked in a clean single, with two
out. John Henry nabbed Laporte's high
foul and the game was over. Score:

and decided to stand by Navin. They
called him into conference and told him
their decision, but made it plain that they
stu stood for speedy adjustment of the
Cobb case.
Navin then sought President johnson
at the Bellevue-Stratford and told him of
the decision of the players to return to
the game. Each then gave out state
ments for the public:
President Navin said:
The boys have decided to play in
washington without Cobb. Their con-
sent to play is given solely that the De-
trolt club may not suffer by the imposi-
ton OF fines or the danger of losing its
Iranchlse. They still stand on their prin-
clple and will play on my assurance that
all fines that may be imposed for their
action SO far will be paid by the club.
AT the meeting of the club owners to-
day | will endeavor to have the unsports-
manlike conduct of spectators in the
stands, such as precipitated this trouble,
eliminated in the future. The boys feel
that action in going on strike has reacted
against the Detroit club. for this reason
they have decided to end the strike"
PRESIDENT JohnSOn's statement follows:
Il have made no statement before this
because l felt that the situation so far
has been between President Navin and
his players. I have called meeting Of
the American League at the Bellevue
Stratford for today and this conference
VIII decide what punishment shall be
melted out to the Tigers for their action
in striking
1.-The Cobb case. however, is entirely in
my hands. 1 shall make no announce
ment about it until after the league meet
ing. Then 1 will consider it on its merits
and will decide how long the suspension
shall last"
'.Ty' Cobb gave out the following state
ment after the settlement Of the strike:
Cobb Welcomes Settlement.
Il am certainly glad the men have
gone back to the game and not further
jeopardized their positions. They have
shown me conclusively that they are
loyal to me and I am satisfied with that.
although I still stand for my first prin-
ciple in my own affair.
THE strike and the fight incident to
it was all against President Johnson and
not the Detroit, club, but as the club
seemed to be the only sufferer they de-
cided to surrender. I will not lose any,
thing either way I decide to act under
the terms Of my contract"

GIVES DINNER

The fish dinner season at the Lake
Front park was formally opened yes
terday with a big fish fry given by
Harry Nelson al his open air restau-
rant on Sheffield avenue between the
railroad tracks
Scores of people out for a good time
visited the place and enjoyed the big
plates of fish that were served. A
harpist and violinist furnished music
to enliven the afternoon and evening.
Capt. Nelson reenwed acquaintance
with many of his guests of last season
and assured all that he is going to
make his place the most attractive on
the lake front.
In addition to the restaurant be-
tween the tracks capt. Nelson has
erected a pavilion on the beach just
west OF the city park. Here several
hundred can be accommodated at lit
tie tables, and here Capt. Nelson will
cater especially to the ladies and chill
dren with fish dinners, soft drinks and
ice cream This pavilion overlooks the
lake and promises TO be an attractive
place this summer.
