LYNCH MAY RAISE
MACEE'S SUSPENSION
Phi|adeIphian's Promise Of
Good Behavior Induces
President to Reconsider.

NEW YORK, August 5.-Thomas Lynch.
president of the National League, said
Yesterday that in view of the players
promise of good behavior, he might soon
raise the suspension inflicted against
Sherwood Magee Of the Philadelphia club
He declared, however. that the penalty
suffered for attacking Finneran was de-
served, and that II Magee were allowed
to re-enter the game it would be with
the understanding that he was on strict
probation.
"The finding Of the board Of directors Is
lust what l expected 1t to be, said Mr..
Lynch There can be no appeal from
the ruling Of the president where sus-
pension Is inflicted against player on
charges preferred by an umpire.
1.-The attack Of Magee on Ffnneran was
brutal, uncalle1 for and unwarranted.
While the penalty inflicted by me against
the player IL q severe one. yet, after all.
for the good Of the game the enforcement
of discipline and to prevent occurrences
of this kind on the ball field. there was
nothing else for me to do. I realize that
IL was a severe blow to the Philadelphia
club, but 1t would have been far better
for the club or It's officials to have con-
demned the action of the player rather
than to have 1t appear that there was
justification for his action"

What promises to develop into q lengthy
and warm argument has been started In
the Departmental League with the protest
and counter protest which have been reg
istered by the Commerce and Labor and
the Navy clubs in that circuit. 1t will
be decidedly interesting to note the ter
mination Of the affair. aside from the fact
that the pennant in the league will hinge
on the decision given by the arbitration
board on the two questions when they
are placed before it.
The facts as they stand so far in the
discussion are as follows: Manage Shoe
maker of the Commerce and Labor team
claims that in the game which the
Agriculture team won from the Laborites
it used a man under an assumed name,
who was really not eligible to play. This
man took part in the game for five in
nings. after which he was dropped. 1t Is
claimed that the man whose name he
played under was eligible and he was
used simply in an effort to beat out
ship.
Now right after the protest of Com
merce and Labor Navy Department
comes out with protest against the
which they claim they were unjustly
treated by Umpire Erwin. who is Com
merce and Labor man. in that the game
in which the Navy was to have met the
Commerce team yesterday was arranged
on such short notice that it. was impos-
sible for them to get their men out
promptly at 5:15, and that because they
were q little late the contest was for
feited to Commerce and Labor. 1t is
claimed that the Navy manager was not
notified in time for the game anyway, and
at that he had nine men on the field
about two minutes after the game had
been forfeited and before the Commerce
and Labor nine had left the ground.
Whether the arbitration board sus aims
the two protests or not Is the question
the answer to which will mean the dis
position of the Departmental League
pennant for this season. If the umpire 8
forfeit is upheld and the protest Of the
Commerce and Labor aggregation against
the Agriculture team is showed through
it will mean that the Departmental
League pennant will go to the Commerce
and Labor team without even chance
for the Post Office to meet 1T In an effort
to redeem the game 1t lost some weeks
ago.
1t is claimed by Petworth that there is
not so much argument in the Suburban
League tangle as would appear on the
surface The declared pennant winners
state that although the original schedule
contains two games yet to be played with
the Silver Spring team, II the Silver

Umpire Connolly in explaining his po-

from second back to first said:
''Schaefer could not be retired with
out being touched with the ball. The fact
that he had acquired second base did not
put him out when he ran back to first
unless he was touched. When Duffy
came to me with his protest | told him
that he would have to get the ruling
from Umpire Parker. who was officiating
on the bases. I could not tell him what
the play was because that would have
been an injustice to the Washington
team. The fact that Duffy was on the
field did not interfere with the play. II

Springs were to win both the resulting
gain In percentage would not place that
club In the lead. Petworth claims that
under the schedule after it was changed
to give the other clubs a chance the Sill
yer Spring team would go into the lead
If it were to win the two remaining games
on it, AS the matter stands, though.
under the original schedule the Petworth
team is far enough in the lead to sustain
Its right to the pennant, even though the
Silver Spring team were to win both the
games that remain to be played between
the two clubs before the original schedule
was ended.
The tangle in which the two clubs
seemed to be meshed will probably be
thrashed out at the meeting Of the board
next week. and the matter settled for
once and for all. one way or the other.
1t rather seems that If the Navy and
Commerce and Labor each had nine men
on the field at about the regular time
for the games to begin In that league.
it was unjust to forfeit the game to
either team instead of having it played.
If the American Security and Trust
Company had been placed in the first d.

been matched with clubs more its equal

The action Of the commission last night
in suspending Joe Engle from amateur

prove warning to others in regard to

The practice has been carried on openly
for some time and that the commission
took the step to wipe it out Is credit
to the dispatch with which it has done
it's work this year The stand 1T took
last night will have a wholesome effect on
the game hereafter.
Parker. who was given the position of

The former Eastern star will stand an
excellent chance to make the foot ball

Even though Parker fails to make good

will prove himself q valuable man in his

BY J. ED GRILLo.

The newly adopted policy Of trying to
build up winning team here with young
blood has to date been a marked success.
Three young players have been secured
during the past two months and every
one Of them has made good. Clarence
Walker, while he has not been a sensa-
ton. is showing fairly good form. while
Becker and Cashion have proved sensa-
tions in the one game each has pitched.
McAleer's experience with these two
young pitchers simply shows that good
ball players are apt to be found any
where Becker was taken off Of the local
lots, while Cashion was secured from
low-class minor league club. II just such
the same success attends the acquisition
Of other players to be brought here Jim
McAleer will be on a fair way to improve
the caliber of the local team. The present
winning streak of the Nationals has been
made possible by the very good work OF
its pitchers For the first time this year
all the local twirlers have rounded into
form, and it is because of their success
that the team has been winning. Being a
team which is none too strong offeEsively.
it requires alright pitching to g1se 1t a
chance and it has certainly had that or
late. Johnson, Hughes and Groom, three
of the veterans, have all shown good FORM
of late. while the two games worked oy
the youngsters have been Of the highest
order There Ia. of course, still much
room for improvement. but II the ciup
adheres to it's present policy to NIL the
gaps made by the decline of the veterans
with young blood there is some real hope
In sight.
1t can be positively stated that Harry
Davis, captain Of the champion Athletics,
will be in charge of the Cleveland team
next season. This deal was closed sew
eral weeks ago and means that George
Stovall will be deposed and perhaps re-
leased or sold by the Cleveland club.
Davis proposes to play Lajoie at first
base next season, position which ne
should have held down for several years
While there are few players better quail
fed to play second than Lajote 1t Is
charged that he would be Of more value
at first and Davis first move Will be to
shift him to that position. Davis does
not intend to play himself. He will han
die his team from the bench and coaching
lines.
Much Of the credit for the good work
of the Athletics has been attributed to
Davis, and whether or not he deserved
any of the credit will be demonstrated
when he is in charge Of a team himself.
There is no reason why Davis should not
be capable manager. He Will Ger
tainly have a chance to prove his ability
as a leader at Cleveland. for that team
has been sadly in need of a guiding hand
for many years.
Every now and then 1t is demonstrated
that few ball players are familler with all
the rules Of base ball. Yesterday, for in
stance, there was not a single man In a
Chicago uniform who knew that Schaefer

The weakness Of Jennings pitching stan
has eventually caused the undoing of >
the lead which his team gained earlier
in the season and the chances for ever
overtaking the Athletics are decidedly
slim
Not only because Mack has the strong
er team, but the effect of being pushed
out OF first place for a second time Is
going to work hardship On the Tigers.
After gaining what seemed a lead sufficient
to land the team on top Jennings needed
only fair pitching to hold that advantage Z

weaker as the season progressed. and as

games he pitched at Greenville, because
he was beaten much more often than he

this was not a reflection on his ability
at all. Lack of support is the greatest

Cashion with competent catching and
other support showed to good advantage,
yesterday. Instead of being handicap

assisted and this naturally makes a whole
