pitcher OF the Philadelphia club. on
Tuesday afternoon. during which Nc
Graw was knocked to the ground by
the Philadelphia player.
President Hampstead tonight sent a
message to President Lynch asking tho
latter TO suspend the sentence until the
case can be passed on by the league
directors. The message reads:

KELLER REFUSES

Norfolk Fielder Claims Penalty

Norfolk, Va. July 3.-Right Fielder

cause he was made TO pay a fine i'm

the players were paid off to-day $40
was deducted from Keller's salary.
Keller explained that he was not fined
by the umpire and tried to show that
a mistake had been made. President
McCrary. however. ruled that Keller
must pay the SO.
Then Keller said he would quit be-
fore ne would submit to such an an
just proposition. and he did. He was
badly missed from the game to-day.
and to his absence can be attributed
the loss OF the game. President Nc
Clary slapped an additional fine of
s25 on Keller because he refused to
play. The popular little player says
he will leave for his home Tomorrow
and will not play any more baseball.
Keller is one OF the best and most
popular players on the team.
