Philadelphia. Pa, June 2T.-Manager
Grifath received a telegram from Presi-
dent Ban johnson, of the American
League, late this afternoon. and from the
wording of the dispatch the Nationals
pilot will hardly draw a serious penalty
from the head Of the league.
Griff wired johnson, explaining his
case fully, and Johnson sent back word
that he was satisfied Griff had good
grounds to protest. but not to forfeit a
game. johnson further stated that he
would take no action until he had fully
investigated the affair.
In speaking of the forfeited game,
Griff, who has now cooled OF consider
ably, says: II want the fans to know
that I did not entend to forfeit that
game had two pitchers warming up,
and wanted them to be ready before go
ing into the box. / said to Chill III
send another pitcher in, maybe YOU can
call balls on him. Chill walked away
from me, and waited only a minute. He
did not ask me TO play ball again. simply
turned to the stands and declared the
game forfeited. He was fully twenty
feet from me when he made the an
nouncement. have seen umpires pull q
watch on a manager time and again.
but they always say to him, when the
time is up Are you going to play ball?'
Chill didn't say a word to me. he simply
forfeited the game"
Grif admitted he did wrong in allow
ing the game to be forfeited, but it is
plain TO be seen from the above that he
had no intention of forfeiting. Chill
simply made good a hasty threat.
John Henry, Of the Washington base
ball club, has asked Ban johnson. presi-
dent of the American League, TO rid the
Washington club of empires in the class
Of Chill and Sheridan.
Chill is incompetent, while Sheridan
is blind Why should the Washingtons.
Of all clubs. be forced to stand for such
umpiring? In a series like the one we
are in now. which might mean the PEN
nant for either club, johnson sends two
such umpires as Chill and Sheridan.
That's an injustice to the ball players.
and ], as a member of the Washington
club, have asked the president Of the
league TO shift that pair.
The players deserve a little consid-

the league. We are out there on that
