CUBS LOSERS TO
TINKER TEAM 3d.
Former Chicago Star Blanks Old
Club with the Bases Loaded
and Only One Gone.

Chicago, May Joe Thinkers down
trodden Reds arose in all their might
yesterday and won a game of ball.
They battered down the defense of
the clouting Cubs by means of many
base hits and came out with a joyful
victory by a count OF S to 4.
No baseball luck aided the Reds in
breaking their losing streak. BY phys
zeal prowess alone they battled their
way to the front. Luck really worked
against them and they had to beat
il down along with the smuggling Cubs.
They won by a comfortable count in
a desperate struggle when they should
have breezed to victory by score of
something like II TO l.
They mauled a trio of west side
pitchers for a total of Is base hits.
They drew nine bases on balls and
had the break gone their way in two
or three instances they would have
smothered the Trojans before seven
rounds had been fought.
AS it was the battle was so intense
that Mordecai Brown, famed hurler,
once with the Cubs, had to take the
slab from Chief Johnson, the Indian
pitcher, in the midst of ninth inning
rampage and by means of his old time
cunning and skill save the conquest

REINSThTE COBB;
MUST PAY A FINE
National Commission Allows
Detroit Star to Play as Long
as He Behaves.

Chicago, May For failure TO re-
port at the beginning of the season
Tyrus Raymond Cobb, chief swats-
man of Detroit and other cities in the
American league, was handed a $50
fine by the national commission, in
session In President B. B. Johnson a
Office yesterday. This little assess
ment on Tvs salary when paid Will
reinstate him permanently during
good behavior"
In plastering the fine on the demon
slugger the members OF the commits
sion remembered his actions on sew
eral occasions we're such as not only
to break down the rules OF discipline
established by his club, but harmful
TO the games interest"
The baseball triumvirate pointed
out that Cobb failed TO negotiate with
the Detroit club on a businesslike
basis but attempted to create senti.
ment in his favor through the press.
The stand of President Navin is
commendable according TO Hermann,
Johnson and Lynch, but the Tiger
magnate draws censure for his for
mer passive policy in dealing with the
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1913-05-02
temperamental player.

Outside of the Cobb case President
Johnson said there was nothing done
except to transact further routine
business. The appeal of the Aurora
club from the National association
ruling was not discussed. Suppress
sion of ball players writing for news
papers also was taken up informally.
Following is the finding in the Cobb
case:
Player Tyrus r. Cobb who AYERS
that he was not aware that his status
was affected by his failure to report
at the start of its 1913 pennant race
TO the Detroit team, of which he has
been a member for several seasons,
on April 25 notified the commission
that ne had entered the service of
that club and requested that he be de-
clared to be in good standing
1T appears that the players fail
ure to report to the Detroit club was
due to inability to agree on terms with
that club for 1913. Subsequent To the
beginning Of the American league
season, however. after a brief confer
ence with the president of his club,
justed. If the only question involved
were the compensation of the player
the commission would have been in
Glined TO pass the matter. The COM
mission, however, cannot permit the
conduct of this player in the past TO
go unnoticed.
Recognized as one of the greatest
players of the game, with a salary as
high as any in the profession, his ac-
tons on many occasions were such
as not only to break down the rules
of discipline established by his club
but harmful to the games interests
Instead of negotiating with his club
on a business basis during the early
spring he issued ultimatum through
the press to arouse public sentiment
in his favor.
Without going into detail the com
mission is informed that in the past
the player has been guilty of frequent
violations of essential regulations of
his club. His public conduct in many
/ instances is too well known to the
patrons Of the game TO require com
ment thereon by the commission, eX-
cept TO serve notice on him and all
other players that a repetition there
! of will not be permitted TO 20 unpun-
ished in the future, from realization
that the games welfare Is If more
Importance than the interests OF ar
individual player, however great his
ability.
THE Detroit club Is to be com.
mended for its recent stand and cen
sUred for it's former passive policy in
/ dealing with the player in matters OF
+ this kind, and notice is served on all
clubs that in the event of failure on
their part in the future to properly
discipline the player whose actions
are detrimental TO the game the COM
mission viii Of its own initiative take
proper action.
The players reinstatement will be
made permanent during good behav-
Tor on payment OF a fine of $50 to the
! secretary Of the commission within
three days after thG PRONUNCIATION oI
this finding.
