Boycott Of Mays
Urged BY Players
Whofear Pitching

Boston, Aug. 17.-Players of the De
troit and Boston clubs Of the Ameri
can league today prepared to draw ur
a petition asking for banishment from
organized baseball of Carl Mays of the
New York Americans, whose pitched
ball fractured the skull of Ray Chap
man and the probability that members
of both teams would refuse to play in
any game in which Mays was the pitch
er was expressed by some players.
The Red Sox met yesterday when
word was received of Chapman's in
jury. 1t was agreed, said Outfielder
Menoskey, that all would sign a petit
ton to President johnson of the
league to have Mays ruled out of the
game if Chapman should die, and that
the players would not go to bat against
his pitching again. With news of his
death the players discussed the carry
ing out of the plan.

baseman, hurried from his seaside
home at Manchester to call meet
ing of the Players
Members of the Boston club who
were team mates of Mays until the
latter deserted the club prior to his
sale to New York last year, said they
felt certain the eDtroit players would
join in such action as might be decid-
ed.
"Ty' Cobb. Detroit star, asserted
that summary measures should be
taken against Mays Immediately.
Oscar Stanage, veteran catcher of the
Tigers, said the players had already
discussed action.
Mays has ben storm center of base
ball controversy for years, first, be-
cause of his close pitching, as result
of which players frequently complain
ed that he had tried to dust them
off" and later when the deal between
the Boston and New York clubs. by
which he was transferred after he de-
serted the Red Sox, precipitated fac
tionaI fight among club owners and
President Johnson.

CIDER MAKERS SEE
 CAUSE FOR WORRY
Fear That Prohibition Movement May Put An End to Their Bus
 mess As Well.

spokane Wash. June 1T.-Danger that the manufacture of cider, one of the principal by-products processes of the fruit industry in the Pacific north west. may suffer practical extermina- tion through the very factor that promised 10 give m national import aLnce-pro ohibition-is seen by C. H. Feilberg, d cider manufacturer of this city.
 State laws forbidding alcohol in cider, Mir. Feilberg says, render It almost impossible for the manufacture CT and the dealer to stay within legal limits and place them at the mercy of state and city officials. Within only d few days after it's manufacture, he declared, fermentation progresses far enough to make the alcohol content greater than the one-half of one per cent permitted by the federal law.
 Many thousands of tons of apples that are useless for other purposes are used for the manufacture of cider every year in this city alone. MT. Feil- berg declared. If these apples were thrown on the market, he said, they would bring down the price of higher grade apples, with consequent dam- age to the industry.
