 Manager McGraw has played his last game of baseball this season. On Fri. day he will have his right knee encased in plaster cast and will be put to bed for three weeks. This is the ultima tum of Professor Chambers, whom Manager McGraw visited yesterday af- ternoon. The injured knee was strain ed and when McGraw hobbled to the players bench at American League park yesterday afternoon the entire leg was twisted inward and is as stiy as board. The surgeon says the original injury was much more serious than at first supposed and even then he advised
 
 McGraw did not feel that he could spare the time. 1t Is now said that unless absolute rest is insured for some weeks, the knee will be permanently affected. Of course. McGraw will not be able to take the coming western trip with the Orioles and will not even be able to advise them from the bench for the remainder of the season.
 During the Chicago Washington game yesterday at Washington Um- pire Haskell was assaulted by two of the Chicago players, who objected to decision. The men, katoll and Shu- gart, were arrested and released on collateral for their appearance In the police court this morning. The trouble occurred in the fourth inning. Cling man of the home team was on third when q wild pitch hit Umpire Haskell, who ordered Clingman to come in. ka- toll ,angered by the decision, slammed the ball viciously at Haskell, hitting him on the leg. Haskell ordered him out of the game, whereupon Shugart rushed up and struck the umpire in the mouth, knocking him down. Both men were dragged from the field and locked up. But for the excellent police pro- tection at the grounds it would have gone hard with the Chicago players as the spectators took hand and were handling Katoll and Shugart very roughly when the police interfered.
 The foot race between Dougherty of Bridgeport and Lawlor of Derby took place yesterday in Bridgeport before the ball game and the long legged Bridgeporter won in the hollowest fash ion. The distance was presumably 100 yards, from left field to the home plate most of the way down hill. No effort was made to time the men, and they were sent off by word of mouth. Dougherty got away with the start and was leading yard before they were gone. The men came down the hill at a great clip and for moment Lawlor held his man. But when half the distance was covered Dougherty began to draw away. Upon touching the diamond Dougherty spurted, and it looked as though the little fellow was standing still. Ten yards from the string Dock had lead of six yards. Lawlor then gave it up and Dougherty walked in. His time was around r. seconds, but he could have made it in less than 10 seconds on that down hill course with hardly any wind. The easy win was something of surprise Most of those who have seen the two men run thought Dougherty would win, but none believed the victory would be such hollow one.
 While umpiring the Baltimore-De- troit game in Bltimore yesterday, Um- pire Connally was mobbed by an angry crowd, and one of the spectators, Frank Allen struck him a stunning blow in the face. Allen was arrested and fined SEQ and costs. In the third inning Casey of the Detroits, hit high ball to right field. Connolly called the ball fair and the crowd went wild. The
 me went on and Foreman was get
 ..g his knocks when Howell was suD- stituted. There were three on bases and two out when Barrett hit to Will Hams, who took his time throwing to Dunn for an assist. Connolly declared Miller out McGinnity then walked up to Connolly and trod on his feet, where upon the umpire declared the game for feited. Howell caught hold of him and proposed a ducking. Elbertield of the Detroits, thinking him in earnest, tried to pull Howell away. whereupon the police swarmed on the field, followed by the spectators. One of the latter, Allen, forced his way through and struck Connolly in the face and others were trying to get at him when the umpire was hustled into the ticket office Allen was arrested. Elbertieid and Howell were also taken into GUS tody, but acquitted. Last night the pc lice department notified the manage ment that Connolly will not get any protection in the future. Connolly fined McGinnity and Howell.
