New York, May 30.-Indignation at President
Pulliams action in filming Manager McGraw Of
the giants $3.50 and suspending him for fifteen
days In connection with certain charges made
by Barney Dreyfuss, has reached that stage in
New York where baseball enthusiasts risen
masse against the drastic measures taken
by the head of the National league. "
At the New York Brooklyn game at the polo
grounds yesterday afternoon petition was cir
culated and signed by 15OO more fans pro-
testing against AIcGraw's fine and suspension.
The document declares in the most emphatic
terms that the punishment meted out was not
justified by events. Lovers Of the game here
who were loyal to SIcGraw to the last acquiesce
in the belief that McGraw's remarks We're mis-
construed and that Drey fuss, while in vindtc-
tive mood had in mind the thought that any
severe punishment dealt out to McGraw would
jeopardize the giants chances of winning the
pennant again. t.. IT.
This interference is strongly set forth in the
petition, which is remarkable for the drastic
measures advocated in connection with the flu
turc visits of the Pittsburg team to this city.
