WHY TY COBB IS
OUT OF THE GAME
Question of Discipline Involved
Signed Statement by Presi-
dent of Detroit Club.

Detroit, Mich. April 16.-Disciplne not
money is the all important question at
issue in the dispute between the Detroit
American League baseball club and its
star player, Outneder Tyrus Cobb, who
! is now under suspension because he re-
fused to accept the terms Of the 1913
contract rendered him by President
| Navin.
! This declaration was made by Mr..
Navn to-day In signed statement. 1t
lis understood that $500 is the amount
involved in the monetary dispute. The
statement follows:
The difference between Mr.. Cobb and
the Detroit baseball club is not over a
matter of money. There are fundamental
principles involved, principles of dis
cipllne recognized in all walks of life.
1T Is conceded by everybody that Mr..
Cobb is the best ball player In the world.
And Mr. Cobb is also the best paid ball
player in the world But this is not the
issue
Mr.. Cobb did not make baseball;
baseball made him. A player cannot be
bigger than the game which creates him.
To give in to Mr.. Cobb now In his
present attitude would be to concede
that he is greater than the game itself,
for he has set all its laws at defiance.
Mr.. Cobb instead of reporting for
spring practice and giving the club the
benefit of his knowledge and his play, or
sanized a transforming team and went
through the South, starring himself with
daily ultimatums to the Detroit club. If
Mr.. Cobb can persistently defy the laws
of the game, what effect will he have on
the other players and where will his l.
am above-the-law' theory end? We may
as we'll turn the club over to him and
eventually the league.
IF Mr.. Cobb doesn't like a room a
hotel clerk gives him, he quits the club
for a week. If he doesn't like what a
silly man in the grandstand yels at him,
he punches his face and is again out Of
the game. He quit the game when we
were fighting for a pennant and publicly
stated that he would not play with his
comrade in left field, u. Jones, on account
OF some misunderstanding with that
player
"If he doesn't feel like practlcing, he
stays away from the park. He has grown
to believe that his greatness precludes
his being a subject to club discipline. |
think Mr.. Cobb eventually will recognize
his fault; until he does there can be no
understanding between US.
He demands $4,000 for his services and
then he goes to the other end of the coun-
try to fire ultimatums at me through the
public press, proclaimlng that no repre-
sentative OF the Detroit club has been
sent to talk business with him. Mr.. Cobb
Is an employee of the Detroit baseball
club; he knows where the office is.
I'm the past I have patiently put up
with a great deal from Cobb. 1t has now
reached a point where there must be a
showdown"

VOTE DEC|S|VELY
FOR FREE WOOL
Insurgent Democrats Make an
Intellectual Attack on Com
mittee and President.

Washington, April 1.-THE democratic
caucus voted decisively late to-day to
support the wool .hedule of the Under
wood tariff bill, placing raw wool on
the free list, after Representative I'm
dcrwood had made a stirring appeal for
the support of the caucus. BY a vote
Of 100 to 10 an amendment offered by
Representative Dies of Texas to place
raw wool on the dutiable list was re-
jected.
Representative Dies amendment pro-
posed to place a duty of Is per cent.
ad valorem on raw wool, he and other
champions of dutiable wool insisting
that this was the Judgment OF the ways
and means committee before President
Wilson saw the bill and suggested a
change.
Majority Leader Understood, IN wind
jnp up the discussion warmly defended
.he committee and the President. He
declared that the President had right
TO make suggestions to Congress relat-
ing TO the tariff hut that the bill as a
whole met with the chief executives ap-
oroyaI when he first read II as II came
from the committee.
"Out of four thousand and more items
L
Precedent only made Two suggestions,
those affecting the sugar and wool sched-
ulcs. Il seems TO me that we should ac-
cept those suggestions from the President
OF the United States.
Representatives Ralney of Illinois and
Harrison Of New York also spoke In be-
half of the committee, defending its ac-
ton and the attitude of the President.
The attack on the committee and Presi-
dent Wilson began as soon as the insur-
gent democrats began discussion of the
schedule. Representative Alexander Of
Missouri declared that the committee
overstepped all proper bounds in holding
up President Wilson as a club over the
heads of the members and that the Presi-
dent had exerted undue influence" In
having wool placed on the free list in the
bill
Representative Montague of Virginia, a
new member defended the President de-
claring that it was his constitutional and
inherent right to suggest what should
so In tariff bill and that neither he nor
the committee were subject to criticism
for their 'co-operation in framing the
bill.
Representative Dies insisted that the
government was made up Of three dis
tinctive branches with separate duties to
perform at IS not only the right Of Con-
gress, he said ito originate revenue
measures but its exclusive right and any
attempt from another branch of the gov
eminent to dictate or interfere with that
right should not be permitted by this
body"
Among the principal supporters of the
Dies amendment for a Is per cent. duty
were Representatives Ashbrook, Post and
Bathrick of Ohio. Ferguson of New Mex
leo, Adair and Cline of Indiana and
Stout OF Montana.
Before reaching wool the caucus dis
posed of the cotton and fax schedules,
voting down all amendments TO lower or
increase the duties proposed in the COM
mittee bill. 1t is expected that moro
rapid progress will be made in caucus
consideration of the bill from now on, the
silk schedule following wool

PUTS SNAP INTO MOVIES
Put snap into the picture" is
the by-phrase of Jack Richardson.
And on his determined effort to
carry that out he has built the
reputation of being willing to
take anything" in the way of
pounding, or a fall, or a bump, if
he gets the desired result.
Because the law of compensa-
ton always works out, even with
actors, Richardson's name has
been clipped to plain Rich" to
offset his nearly six feet of
height.
Though it's hardly necessary to
say it, Richardson is the charac-
ter man with the Flying A com
pany american Film) at Santa
Barbara, Cal. When asked what
kind of a part he fancies most, he
drOlly answered:
Give me the heaviest 'heavies,
the tougher the better"
A few days ago Rich" had a
chance to prove his assertion in a
very realistic and not altogether
pleasant or safe manner. He was
to be thrown over a cliff, in one
of the scenes of a picture, and
cowboys were to be below to
catch him.
By some misunderstanding
there was miscalculation in
time. They missed the point
where he was to land by about
200 feet. He went over and he
went on down the cliff, hitting
