PATSY AND HIS FINE.
Byrne Says League Directors Had No
Power TO Fine Tebeau

Byrne Says League Directors Had No
Power TO Fine Tebeau.
New York, Aug. 4.-President C. II.
Byrne, of the Brooklyn club, had a few in
terestine things TO say yesterday about the
wrareie over Tebeau's 5000 fine.
THE Leagues board of directors" said
he, had no Jurisdiction in the matter, and
could not constitutionally inflict that fine.
They could have compelled the Cleveland
club 10 fine Tebeau for manifest disorderly
conduct, especially as be was convicted and
fined in the police court.
AT the fall meeting of the League in
Chicago This case will cause a big ar
gumept. The League as a body might, by
majority vote. censure Tebeau, and
Killen, TOO, for that matter, as the latters
offense the other day in Cincinnati was
just as bad as the Cleveland players, and
order them TO pay fines. But as there is
nothing in the Leagues constitution TO
empower the directors to rule In such mat
tcrs the decision in Tebeau's case may
be turned down. AT any rate, there will
be a hot fight over the NATTER
The League will probably make some new
rules providing for severe punishment for
players WHO indulge in pugi stic en-
counters on the field and are arrested and
fined in the police courts.
