can league today prepared to draw up
a petition asking for the Punishment

any game in which Mays was the
pitcher was expressed by some of the
players.
Ty Cobb. the Detroit star asserted
that summary measures should be
taken against Mays Immediately.
Mays has been a storm center of
baseball controversy for years, first,
because of his close pitching, as a re-

tween the Boston and New York clubs.
by which he was transferred after he
deserted the Red Sox, precipitated
factional fight among club owners and
President Johnson which threatened
