IRESlDENT OF the
Eastern League, gives utterance
TO a vehement denial as to the
truth of a story printed in a local We
ming paper Monday night to the effect
that McGinnity had called" him on
Sunday for his poor umpire staff.
Barrow said that If McGinnity had
been in town he would have denied the
story, and states that such an occur
renee as explained in that paper had
b. never happened. 1t will not be too late
when McGinnity does get in to ask the
paper that published it to retract the
same.
It's all right to publish facts, but to
falsify an account, as President Bar
row claims, is certainly open to strict
censure, and President Barrow. ought
to have McGinnity ask the paper pub
fishing the yarn deny it.
Reports from Cleveland, where the
plans for the reconstructed Polo
Grounds are in the hands of con-
structural engineers. leads to the belief
that the Giants will be able to resume
playing late in June.

Portland, Ore, today carries the infor-

victory Is certainly high credit for the
National Turn Verein.
