MCGraW Knows
 BridWen Has
 Seen Best Days

Manager McGraw of the Giants an- nounced at yesterdays game that hs had traded Shortstop Alfred Bridwell and Substitute First Baseman Henry Gowdy to the Boston Nationals for Charlie Herzog, formerly a member of the Giants. The trade came as 8 big surprise, as there had not been the slightest inkling of any deal between the two clubs.
 The deal should strengthen the Giants. Bridwell until this season had been noted for his timely hitting, but in the present campaign AIS stick work has been woefully weak. Oc- casionally he had good batting days but time after time he failed to make good in the pinches. In Herzog, Me Graw gets 300 batter, and a far bet Charlie is no slouch in the fielding line
 Bridwell will be missed by New York fans, but McGraw is out for the pen nant this season and pennants are not won by sentiment. As fielder Al is about as classy shertstop as there is in the National League. though he has made great many errors this season,
 The transfer of Gowdy to Boston will be beneficial to that player. He seems to be 8 youngstef with a future, but needs experience. He will get more chance to demonstrate his worth as 2 member of the Bostons than he could hope to get with the Giants. Whether Penney will put the former Texas Leaguer on first remains to be seen In any event, Penney cannot last an other year, and Hank may be groome6 to play first base for the Rustlers next season
 It is strange coincidence that bott Bridwell and Herzog return to the teams from which they originally came. Bridwell came to New York ir 1908 in the famous deal by which Nc Gam, Dahlep, Bowerman and Fergu- son went to Boston for Penney, Brid- we'll and Needham. Herzog was g Giant utility man in 1908, playing a part of that season at second, while Doyle was injured. McGraw traded him to Boston along with Outfieldel Collins shortly before the 1910 cam paign opened for Beals Becker. IT his last year with the Giants Herzog hit for only 1855, but since he has beer playing regularly, he has become one of the hardest hitting infielders in the game.

l0C0m0biIe Team
 Has Kick Coming
Claims Crane No. 1 Shouldn't Have Been Credited With Forfeited Game With Whit ing Club
(By Ira HaIl.y


 Loco rooters in the Industrial League are coming through with another kick. They're putting forth the claim that the league officials are playing favorites, making the sledding hard for their outfit at the same time show ing partialfty to the other leaders. Here's the basis for their complaint: The Whiting club has handed in it's resignation to the league, official ac- tion being deferred until last Thurs day evening. The Whitings were pre- pared to quit the league three weeks ago.
 They were prevailed upon to play the season out. Captain Pat Hurley gether for July 1, when they trimmed Crane No. 2, 5-4, an unlocked for vic- tory. Two weeks ago, the Whitings were scheduled to play Crane No. l. The game was called off. Crane No. got credit for victory in the stand ing, and the Whitings a loss. Last week the schedule brought Whitings and Warmers together. The official standing does not show that the War ners grab a win, nor the Whitings a loss. Today according to schedule, the Locos and Whitings were sched- uled to mix up. In the meanwhile, the league directors have taken of flclal action and have accepted the resignation of the Writings. This leaves the Locos without game to- day. Being tied with the Crane No. 2. team for first place, and Crane No. looked upon as winners over Warner Bros, occupants of the cellar position, the Locos appear good for second place this evening.
 Here's the Locos kick: Crane No. 1 can grab a forfeited victory from a resigned club, while the Locos will have to be content with standing still. Truly, affairs are run on a peculiar style in the Industrial League.

President Lynch Very Severe With Player Who Struck Um- pire

President Thomas J. Lynch of the National League yesterday announced that the suspension of Sherwood Ma gee of the Philadelphia club will ex- tend over the remainder of the play ing season of 1911. Magee was in- definitely suspended by Lynch as a result of his attack on Umpire Fin neran during a game in Philadelphia.
 Following is Lynch's announcement:
 ''The status of Player Magee of the Philadelphia club was today officially determined by President Lynch of the National league. Lynch stated that Magee had been guilty of the most fragrant violation of Rule 70, of the Playing Rules, by his unprovoked as- sault on Umpire Finneran during the progress of a championship game at Philadelphia on July 10. The assault was followed by public statements coming from the player, and accepted by officials of the Philadelphia club, to the effect that Umpire Finneran had applied vile name to the offend ing player. This charge has been found absolutely untrue''

 The resolution to adjourn July 27 passed both houses but the lower branch reconsidered it's action and finally tabled the measure. In both houses since the resolution passed the feeling has been general that ad- journment by next Thursday was out of the question.
 Orders of a day have increased lately in the House and Senate and the latter branch has promised to take up everything at the foot of the calendar, Tuesday. However, both bodies have yet to consider important measures and some of them are ex- pected to provoke prolonged debate.
