PLAYERS TO FIGHT
ACTION OF Lynch
Base Ball Fraternity to Con.
test Alleged Unfairness in
Filming Pitcher Brennan.

PHILADELPHIA, July 4.-The punish
ment inflicted upon Addie Brennan. the
Phiilies' pitcher who struck Manager Nc
Graw OF the New York Giants, in self
defense on the field at the ball park after
Mondays game, will very likely result
in a test case being made by the Players
Fraternity. Word was received by Man.
ager Doom yesterday from President
Lynch that Brennan had been fined 500
and suspended for five days for his as
sault on McGraw
As McGraw was also suspended for FIVE
days for his part in the row. the suspen-
sion of Brennan caused no comment, but
the fine imposed on the pitcher, while
McGraw escaped without fine. created
plenty of excitement in the camp of the
Phillies. Manager DOOM was incensed
over what he declared was very unfair
treatment and said he would contribute
$40 TOWARD making up the fine imposed
on Brennan. Several ether members of
the Phillies voiced their willingness to
contribute.
But Capt Mike Doolan took another
view of it.. Dooan is vice president of
the Players Fraternity and declared yes
terday that test case would be made
of the matter. Doolan was walking with
McGraw when the latter was struck and
McGraw and Brennan during the game.
Doolan declared that President Lynch
sided with McGraw from the start and
that his investigation and decision in the
case were unfair to Brennan. He advised
the latter not to pay the fine and said
it would be taken before the board Of
directors of the National League first
and then to the national commission.
Manager McGraw also criticised the ac-
ton of President Lynch declaring that
il was unfair to him to be suspended
The suspension had little effect on Nc
Graw of the Giants. however, for Nc
Graw occupied the box near the Giants
Harry Hampstead, president of the New
York club. protested vigorously when he
heard Lynch's ruling and Immediately
wired Lynch protesting against McGraw
being suspended without even a chance to
defend himself. He also asked that the
suspension be lifted until the matter can
be laid before the league directors.

TRAINER OF JUMPERS
RULED OFF THE TURF
Whisky and Coffee Did Much
for BuCkthorn, But Cost
Hogan His License.

NEW YORK, July 4-William Hogan
who trained Buckthorn for his races al
Belmont Park, was ruled off the turf yes.
terday by the stewards of the Nationa
Steepiechase and Hunt Association. Buck
thorn is the property of Bartlett McLen-
nan, the Canadian turfman and Hogan's
banishment is because of three races run
by the horse at the present meeting.
On June Is Buckthorn. showing an ex-
cellent amount of speed. and never far
from the pace, finished a good third to
Unaware. one of the horses that chased
Penobscot home in the running of the In
dependence steeplechase Wednesday.
Four days later this same Buckthorn
could hardly raise a gallop. and after be-
ing outrun all the way pulled up last, be-
ns beaten by Malaga, Shannon River and
Tom cat Then came the real reversal
Of form 1t was after another rest OF
four days that Buckthorn was sent TO
the post wild horse and forcing all the
race was just nipped in the last stride
by Shannon River.
When Hogan was called on for an ex-
PLANTATION he admitted that he had tried
10 improve Buckthorn's speed by the use
Of whisky and coffee as stimulant, but
he did not consider that he had violated
any rule in doing so.
Tn stewards of the meeting held diff
ferent idea, and his license was sus-
pended and the case referred to the Ma
tional Steeplechase and Hunt Associa-
lion That body, as has already been
told, found Hogan guilty and banished
him from the turf
Kelleher, the jockey who rode Buck
thorn in each of the three races, was
suspended by the stewards of the meet
ing, and his punishment was continued
until tomorrow, the closing day of the
present meeting of the Westchester As
sociaton.
At this same meeting of the stewards
certificates as gentlemen riders were is

the demand Of the few for the grant of
Magma Charta, by the great Declaration
OF Independence, which proclaimed the
right Of unrestricted opportunity for the
many.
1.-THE people of the District feel. a Pc
culiar interest in this anniversary. In
that portion of the District was once

are those who hold that the seat of gov
eminent has still the constitutional claim
to that portion of the sacred soil of the
Old Dominion-the commonwealth in
which We're born the immortal Jefferson
and no less gifted Richard Henry Lee. and
his talented and patriotic brothers. While
fame has dealt more kindly with the
part OF Jefferson, We bear in mind that
Lee was the original mover in the Con-
tinental Congress Of the resolution that
these United Colonies are and OF right
ought to be free and independent states;
that they are absolved from all allegiance
to the British crown, and that all po-
litical connection between them and the
state OF Great Britain is and ought to be
totally dissolved: that he supported that
motion by one of the most eloquent and
impressive speeches delivered in that
Congress and that in all probability but
for his need to suddenly leave the Con-
gress on account Of the dangerous i'll
ness OF his wife he instead OF Jeernson
would have been the chairman Of the

alike must lean. What better can We do
as we recall our blessings and realize

permit his constituents to return him to

I'VE insist on claiming and proclaiming
him as n Washingtonian. because the
name of Galiinger Is linked with that Of
the National Capital, with bands Of serv-
ice and appreciation which time cannot
break. During his long and hOnored ca
reer in Congress he has constantly shown
his devotion to our welfare, and has been
one of the strongest factors in making
