GAND|L MAY GET A
SUSPENSION TODAY
Griffith Lives in Hopes That
Umpire Dineen Has Not
Made Serious Report.
MANAGER WATCHES BOSTON
Expects to Stop Red Sox in
Their Tracks on Appearance
Here Next Week.
By SENATOR"

NEW YORK. April 1s.-If Chick Gan
dill is suspended today just before the
game begins at the Polo Grounds, the
Climbers will surely be crippled. The
big first baseman was banished from
the fray in the last inning yesterday
by Umpire Dineen. The official made
his report to President Ban johnson
last night and il will not, be known for
q certainty until this afternoon or to-
morrow whether or not Gandfl is to rest
his heels on the bench for few days
as punishment for implying in no un-
certain manner that Dineen was blind
in his left eye, liable to see out of the
other and a descendant of a mean race
at best
Il hope Dineen did not take Gandirs
words to heart much" said Manager
Griffith today. '.for he Is hitting and
running with the best men on the team.
1t will be a hard blow to US, il he is
suspended right at this time. OF course.
j snail not know about Ban Johnson's
decision until this afternono at the
earliest. I'm hoping everything Is going
along smoothly and that Dineen allowed
for Gandil's earnestness and desire to
win"
Defeating the Yankees twice in a row

johnson has boosted the Climbers i'm
mensely in the opinion of the fans here,
but the alibis of the sporting writers
are Interesting. Manager Griffith had
many quiet laughs today on reading
how the Yankees would not be able to
hit II up at their best until Chance
and Derrick are back in the game, or
how UMpire Harts astigmatism in the
seventh saved the game for the Capital
City lads when Hughes famed Caldwell
with the bases filled.
Manager Griffith is already looking
ahead into next week. He is counting
on stropping those Boston Red Sox
dead in their tracks. He Is watching
closely the box scores of the games now
beirs played in Phila and Is confident
of the four games scheduled for the
Florida avenue ball yard next week.
This Boston club isn't going any
too WELL" says the Ola Fox. "and when
they bump up against the kind Of pitch

champions and just you wait and see
what'n happen to those Bostonians.

he had No Thermometer to Tell Him

1t often happens OH sledge journeys
among the arctic ice that the thermom-
eters are broken. In that case the
party finds itself without any means of
determining the temperature. But
ROald Amundsen. the discoverer of the
south pole. says that If the explorer
accustoms himself to guess the tenn
perature it is possible to estimate the
mean temperature for month with q
fair degree of accuracy. This fact he
proved by means of a guessing compe-
tition during the winter that his party
spent in camp ON the great ice barrier.
AS each man came In In the morning
outside. and each guess was entered in
a book. st the end of the month
went over the figures. and the man
who had guessed correctly the great
est number of times won the prize-a
few cigars Besides giving practice In
estimating degrees Of cold. 1t was
very good diversion with which to be-
gin the day. When one day is almost
exactly like another the first hour Of
the morning is likely to be little sour.
The competition engaged every ones
attention pleasantly. Each mans en-
trance was awaited with excitement.
and one man was not permitted to
make his guess in the hearing Of the
man who followed him. Therefore
they had to speak as they came in. one
