Still smarting over the rejection of the official scorer’s decision in the Ty Cobb case, the national baseball writers’ group meets and votes to back the New York group’s protest. Fred Lieb, who had filled in the Associated Press box score giving Cobb the disputed hit, asks Ban Johnson to revise the records to .399 for Cobb. Johnson complains of not receiving box scores from some writers, who are appointed by the clubs as official scorers.
