'PLAYERSARE
AGAINST MAYS
Griffmepand Tigers Expected to
Take Action on Possible
p Boycott Today.
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Before today's game at Georgia
avenue members OF the Washington
and Detroit clubs are expected to take
some action regarding their future
participation in games against Carl
Mays. the Yankee pitcher. The Cleve-
land Indians have signed a resolution
not to appear again against Maya.
They are reported to have sent copies
of their resolution to all clubs outside
ofsNe York, asking for support.
The players are acting on their own
initiative. being dissatisfied with the
failure on the part of the mag mates.
who met Tuesday in Philadelphia, to
do more than send a message of SYM
pathy to Ray Chapman's widow.
SO far as now known, the Chicago
White Sox and the Philadelphia Ath-
leucs are the only clubs opposing a
boycott of Carl Mays. who delivered
the ball that resulted in Ray Chap
mans death. The ST. Louis Brownies
and the Boston Red Sox are believed
TO be the most active in seeking to
drive Mays out of the league.
NERVES DON'T SHOW.
Sob writers in New York, springing
to the support of Mays and the
Yankees. painted Mays a nervous
wreck following the tragedy at the
Polo Grounds. An attache of the club
went to court and paid his fine for
speeding. The nervous wreck" came
back against the Detroit Tigers, how
ever, and shut them out, 10 to 0, Civ
ing no sign of any weakness.
The rapid recovery of the Yankee
pitcher is believed to have had con-
siderable weight with those players
who have faced his peculiar delivery
in the past and may have to do so in
the future. Most players merely grin
when asked about Mays nervous
ness" Not one will admit Mays has
any nerves.
Meanwhile Miller Higgins is ex-
pected to send Mays against the
White Sox in today's game in New
York.
JOHNSON MAY ACT.
Ban Johnson was in Philadelphia
yesterday, but no statement came
from him on the Mays affair. Be-
cause of his silence, the New York
magnates decline to talk. The
players are paying no attention
whatever to the magnates, whose
baseball politics are causing them to
step around like cats, but are
evidently going right ahead to clean
up pitching conditions that caused
the death of the popular Cleveland
shortstop.
Leut-CoL Huston, of the Yankees,
will confer with Ban Johnson today
ever the situation. Either or both of
them may have something to say
after that
The whole difficulty may come to
head, demanding immediate action.
next wa-when the ST. Louis club
fnvades the Polo Grounds. The
Brownies are especially hostile to-
ward Mays and the boycott may be-
gin then.
SOME RIDICULOUS TALK.
New York papers are talking today

clubs being fined $1,000 for failing to
take the field, etc. This is ridiculous
talk. II the players stand together,
