TIGERS’ CUBAN TRIP STOPPED

President Navin Put* Emphatic Veto on Proposed Tour and No Detroit Player Will Go. ’ There will be no Cuban trip for the Tigers after the league season closes. President Navin has put his fqpt down on such a trip, and no members of the team will be permitted to play ball in Havana and other places. Any player disobeying this order will be fined SSOO. But this threat may not make any change in the players’ plans. One of the party said that nearly all the regular men have made preparations to play ball on - the Island. “What can the club do If twelve of us go to Cuba to play right after the seasons opens?” this player says. ‘‘lf we are fined we will not report in the spring, and I guess that would settle the matter. It seems absurd and unjust to object to us going to Cuba. We go right after the season Is over and spend about two weeks there. That certainly will not injure us. So far as it being detrimental to our future, why just look at the Athletics; they made a trip to the coast last winter and it does not seem to have affected their work In the least.” Bobby Byrne leads tne National league In two-base drive*. ’
