This deprives Pittsburg of one victory
end takes one defeat away from the cubs
n the standing. AS Chicago won and the
Giants were beaten yesterday. the CUBS
,,mpcd to the front in the race for the
pennant The official standing. with cor
rections made. is published in another col
unn of The Tribune.
The formal statement on the protest,
issued from National League headquarters
Yesterday. follows:
In tho eighth inning Shean. Of Chicago,
vas on fist base with one out Archer nv
fly ball TO the infleld which was dropped
ny Wagner and the ball thrown 10 second
for a force out. With both Shean and
Archer holding first base. Doyle. the held
umpire. called Archer out, claiming that
Wagner had Intentionally dropped the bah.
After Dovlc had told Archer he was out
and had ordered him 10 leave I, base
Clarke manager of Pittsburg. appealed 20
KEN. The umpire in chief. that Doyl" dc-
cision was wrong and that Shean should
have been declared out instead Of Archer
The appeal was allowed and Shean was
declared out. Archer in the mean time.
having left first base as directed. was
touched with the ball and also declared out
by KLEIN.
4 careful investigation shows that
Doyle the field umpire. erred in calling
Archer ont instead Of Shean. and that Klein
likewise erred in allowing the second put
CIT. The only decision KLEIN could have
loade under the rule on Clarke's appeal
was &C reverse Doyle's decision and cali
Shean out and send Archer back r. first.
The evidence clearly shows that both
Impires erred. and that by reason thereof
IN injustice was dore the Chicago club.
The protest made by Chance Is allowed and
the game as played is stricken from the
records and ordered to he replayed.
DOYLE, the umpire, who has been disci-
pinned. erred in deciding that a batsman
is out on an inield fly. whether caught or
not. with not more than one out and
man on first base. The rule distinctly says
that runners must be on first and second
or first. second and third to make such a
ruling operative on an infeld fly.
Denton T. (Cy) Young. the veteran pitch
or Of the Cleveland club Of the American
League, may be doomed TO the minors.
Waivers have been asked on the ono
time great pitcher. who because of illness
has not been able to go TO the hox for the
Maps this year. II is thought, however.
in view Of his long service that If waivers
are received the Cleveland Club will grant
free agent. as Frank Farrell, Of the
Yankees, did for Willie Keeler.
Young is the oldest pitcher in the major
leagues, and has been working with I'M
waverng success for more than twenty
years. Last fall he celebrated the Win
ming Of 800 games. a mark that no other
pitcher has equalled in the history OF the
sport. so far as the records 20.
At late hour last night word came from
Cleveland that President Somers denies
that he had asked for waivers on Young.
The baseball game between Brown and
the University Of Pennsylvania at Provi-
dence yesterday was cancelled on account
Of rain. This was cause for regret. as the
meeting would have aided slightly in work
ing out the final standing Of the college
mines.
Tommy Leach. one Of the star outfield-
ers of the Pittsburg team. has not been
traded to Brooklyn. in spite Of a report
TO that effect Billy Locke. secretary Of
the Pittsburg ClIb. branded the report yes
terday as a rank fake and added:
