M'CRAW DESPERATE
 OVER TfAN'S PLIGHT
"SomelhDg Must Be Doae," Says
 Leader Of Giants.

New York, April 2O.-That John McGraw is seriously concerned over the lapse of his Giants from the rare form they displayed in the first two games against the Dodgers was brought home forcihly to a few late loiterers after yesterdays game at the Polo Grounds. Instead of seeking the shower bath and civilian clothes as he is wont, he sidestepped half a dozen friends and went back In uniform to the playing field with Davy Robertson. For half an hour the leader of the Giants batted fungoes to the young southerner, trying to improve his form on both ground and fly balls.
 Something has to be done, and that speedily" said McGraw, grimly, as he led the way to the deserted pasture. Our club must improve it's power at bat. Robertson has been troubled some with a sore arm. But 1t may be possible for us to work out the soreness" All of which the late railbirds interpreted as meaning that there might be some sort of sha!, up In the batting order.

C!aTkin, Carey and Cameron Turned. Down by National Commission.

In a notice sent out by Chairman Garry Hermann Of the national base- ball commission. President James H. O'Rourke of the Eastern association has been informed that the commis- sion had refused to take Jurisdiction in the appeal of Attorney Danaher from the decision of the national board in the Springfield Hartford and New Haven clubs forfeiture cases.
 Hermann simply mailed O'Rourke a copy of a letter he sent to Danaher. This letter said: Relative to the ap- peal by you in the matter pertaining to the Eastern association, l hereby inform you that the national commis- sion will hereafter not consider any appeals from the findings Of the na- tional board"
 This decision means that Carey. Clarkin and Cameron have lost in the highest court in baseball" declared O'Rourke. "I stated from the first that the national commission would not take jurisdiction in this matter. According to the terms of the nation- al agreement all matters concerning minor minor league territory rights are to be decided by the national board"
 O'Rourke will call an Eastern asso- citation meeting this week, but will not announce the date until he has con- suited the New London and Bridge- port club owners. The meeting will be called at the Atlantic hotel. Bridge port. From one of O'Rourke's re- marks he is sure the league will start the season.

a week, but for all time.
We are on the eve of popular rev.

ceased TO be a virtue. A little while
ago lone protestants here and there
were looked upon as harmless cranks
Societies for the propagation OF un-
necessary noises fiourished like the
green bay tree, and the thought of
trespass on a mans repose as an in

any other property, was secuted as
absurd. The educated and sober sec.

by thoughtless motorists, by peddlers
and venders, by those who deliver milk
or newspapers or other wares at an
early hour from house to house.
