YESTERDAYS ATTENDANCE,
PRESIDENT PULLIAM
CALLS PROTEST SILLY

The protest of the New York National
League Base Ball Club against the action
Of tombstone, the umpire, in forfeiting the
game Of August at the Polo Grounds,
New York. to Chicago. when the manage
ment of the New York club denied the UNI
pire admittance to the grounds, was for
mally disapproved yesterday by Harry C.
Pulliam, president Of the National League.
Mr.. Pulliam declares In a statement that
tombstone was entirely within his rights
and that 1.-The silly and unsportsmanlike
protest Of the New York club Is dismissed
and the record remains unchanged" He
says that the New York club has a consti-
tutional right to appeal from his finding to
the board Of directors OF the National
League. and he trusts 1t will avail itself
Of this prerogative and 'give the club own
ers OF the league an opportunity to choose
between anarchy and law and order in the
conduct of affairs"
Mr.. Pulliam's statement In part, follows:
MY finding in the matter is that the
claim Of the New York club. judged from
any angle. either in sportsmanship. law
or equity. is empty and groundless.
1.-THE position of the Chicago club ID abso-
lutely unassaflable.
THE New York club has a constitutional
right to appeal from this finding to the
board of directors Of the National League,
and trust 1t will avail itself Of this pre-
rogative and give the club owners of this
league an opportunity to choose between
anarchy and law and order in the conduct
of affairs.
MY only regret in this matter is that no
appeal lies to the national commission, for
l should like to have the members of the
supreme court of base bali afforded the
privilege of putting their stamp Of con-
demnation upon this attempt to introduce
the strong-arm methods OF the garrote into
professional base ball.
THE silly and unsportsmanlike protest
of the New York club Is dismissed, and the
record remains unchanged-the New York
Chicago game Of August Z. 1906, forfeited
to the Chicago club by tombstone by the
score of 90"
