And Then On This.

Pittsburg, Aug 25.-After being mo- tified last night of his reinstatement by President Pulliam. Manager Mc- Graw of the New York team Issued the following signed statement:
 ''It does not surprise me that am reinstated at this particular time. I have called the turn several times.. knew that the suspension would last until after the Chicago and Pittsburg series. think these are the clubs that Pulliam favors. He probably has no special liking for the Cincin- n3ti club. and therefore I am allowed fin the game in this series. For two weeks have been walking in the rear of the grand stand and have seen the New Yorks lose games that ought to have been won.
 If we are out of the race for the pennant Pulllam is responsible. Pull liam regrets that he is unable to take the baseball patrons into his confi- dence before him., He and Johnstone will have to answer to me in court before I am through with them. so he can give out his evidence If he has any. but I want both sides. some thing I have not had yet. The only way I have ever been able to get justice from Pulliam has been in civil action and before I am through with this the public will learn 10 what ex- tent I have been maligned and vili- fled. by him and Johnstone.
 "I was indefinitely suspended for protesting against a decision of tho umpire on August G. I was given no reason for the suspension until Au- gust 13, although every club in the league. except the New York club. was furnished with a report of the umpire several days before this. immediately filed with Pulliam. six afiidavits from people on the spot, denying having used the villianous language imputed to me. proving that the things charged were never utter ed by me. and yet he takes no action until twelve days later. or until after we have lost the most important games of the season.
 He prates about bping the expon- ent of justice and fair play. His press agent makes him in favor of a square deal His square deal with me is like the one he tried to hand me last summer. when the superior court judge called him in Boston. If I was guilty of the things charged I deserve the severest penalty: If I was not guilty then some one else should be penalized, and before I am through 1t will be determined who 1t will be.

Controversy Between Presldent Pull
 liam end Manager McGraw.
Look On This.

Look On This.
 New York, Aug -McGraw, who was susNnded indefinitely by Presl- dent pulllanA will be eligible to re- sume active duty on the ball field to- day. In announcing this fact Mir Pulllanl, in statement issued yes. terday, sayS:
 Tn view Of the eerloue nature of the charses against Manager Mo Graw i have gone into this case more thoroughly than any case 1 have de- cided in four years.
 I have required the umpire. Mir Johnstone-a an evidence of good faith only for 1 know him to be an honest and truthful lnan-to supple ment his first report and an affidavit.
 I have required statement from Umpire Robert Emslie. who was Mfr Jofnstone's assistant at the time Me Graw was removed from the game and who accompanied Mir Johnstone from the grounds at the conclusion of the game, and who heard, above the noise of the crowd, portion of McGraw's remarks directpd at John stone from the clubhouse porch.
 I have requested and secured statement from that sterling player and honorable gentleman Mir John Kling. Tn the interest of truth and fair play, MT Kling was at the plate and heard the language used by Nc Graw before being ordered out of the game.
 The statements of Messrs Tinker, Steinfeldt. McGraw. Tuthill, Seymour Bresnahan. Bowernan and Mfr Fields have also been carefully read and considered.
 My conclusion is that McGraw used the most villianous language one mortal could use to another. to um- pire Johnstone On the ball field and well merited his removal.
 Mir Johnstone is to be congratulated that McGraw's. incendiary remarks addressed to him while leaving the grounds from the security of the clubhouse balcony did not result in his being brought home to his far.lly on stretcher; and the manhood of those composing the crowd IS to be praised. for there waS not one 20 low and vile in that excited crowd to offer violence to lone man.
 I regret that am unable to take the baseball patrons Into my confl- dence and give them the evidence be fore me but the laws of the United States and the vigilance of Anthony Comstock prevent me from so doing.
 The proper penalty to lnflct in this case is not in my power to decree. The so-called baseball asset is zeal ously guarded. Some day the ipsti- tuition itself, the game and the lea que. will take precedence over all.
