THE NEW YORK CLUB FINED.
Must Forfeit One Thousand Dollars.
History of the Trouble.

PHILADELPHIA. August l5.-The
Board of Directors Of the National League
and American Association Of Base
Ball Clubs held meeting at the
Hotel Walton, here, to-day. and sus-
tanned the forfeiture TO the Baltimore
club OF the New York Baltimore game Of
July 18th, imposed fine OF 81 900 on the
New York club to be paid 10 Baltimore,
and directed the Baltimore club to sus-
pend Player Holmes for the balance Of
the season.
The New York club was relieved Of the
payment to the Baltimore club OF any
portion of the gate receipts of that date.
CATCHER BOYLE's CASE.
In the dispute between the Philadel-
phia and New York clubs over an alleged
agreement for the sale of Catcher Boyle
to the latter club, the board decided that
the Philadelphia club had no case, and
the subject was dismissed.
The meeting was called at the instance
of the New York club on an appeal to the
board for the remission or modification
Of the fine.
ALL ABOUT THE TROUBLE.
In the game in question, President
Freedman, of New York, alleged that
Player Holmes addressed an insulting re-
mark to him, and Umpire Lynch refusing
the removal of Holmes from the game,
President Freeman withdrew his team
from the field and returned to the specta-
tors their admission fee.
The Baltimores took the ground that
the stopping of the game by President
Freedman was a violation Of the league
constitution, and claimed the 5000 fine
provided for therein, and also claimed
it's share of the gate receipts of the day.
Freedman paid the fine under protest,
and this protest was heard to-day.
