President Lynch Throws Out
Protest Filed by Giants.
SAYS RIGLER DID HIS DUTY
Yankees Get More Rest and the
Maps Think Rain Cost
Them a Game.

Thomas ]. Lynch. president Of the Ma
tional League. has decided To dlsalIo" the
protes. Of John J. McGraw on the tie game
MI ysd between the Chicago Cubs ana the
Giants on Monday The protest was LOGGED
by the New York manager on the grouhn
that tho reversal by Rigler. the umpire III
chief. OF n decision made by Finneran the
unpire on the bases. enabled the cubs to
tie the score. Mr.. Lynch said yesterday:
New York's protest cannot possibly DC
allowed. and the game must stand aS lie
and be played over. The contention tha' II
was a play 10 be decided by the field umpire
and Rigler had no right TO reverse FIN
neran Is wrong 1t WAS not Only III"
privilege but the duty Of Rigler to decide
on that play. He was acting In strict COM
pliance with the instructions J nave given
TO all Of the league umpires. thes" being I"
the effect that when a play Is MADE ~
third base while there is runner Al hrSt
or second also. the umpire IN chief sha'i
render the decision at third. so that u
play Is made at another base Immediately
afterward the other umpire will be IN
position TO soc IL 1t was Rglcrs place 20
Mouday and his ruling cannot he changed.
Tho Yankees rested from their <trenu-
Gus lahors Yesterday on account OF inc
heavy rain. which prevented a game with
tie Cleveland Maps, who think they were
the losers. The ascent 10 the first division
is not progressing with any starting
IA piditv. and tho team seems about a FAR
from the long predicted winning streak as
II was when the season started. Wolv"r-
tons men have vet to compile two con-
secutive victories. and II they ever do win
a brace Of games together they will set 4
seasons record
Tho long stay at home which was to
count 50 much, is waning. and long visit
abroad is not far away. Two Of the West
ern teams have been met and the result
Is three victories FOR the visitors and two
for the Yankees. The hardest engagements
are yet TO come. with the Cleveland Maps
and Chicago White Son. WHO are travelling
much closer Ia form than New York. II
looks now as II an oven break on tho
games at home will he about tho best the
team can get before the Western jaunt.
Tho pitching STAFF i al shot to pieces and
shows little sign Of immediate improve
ment. although a week of good warm
weather probably would bring the men
around
Weather permitting. Harry Davis will
make his bow in New York IA manager of
the Maps this afternoon. He was last
seen in this town As first haseman ~ the
all-conquering worlds champions FOO tho
gray days of last October.
