GR|FFMEN PROTEST
BOBBY vEACH'S HIT
Manager, Backed by Affidavits,
Files Letters With Johnson
on ConnolIy's Decision.
BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

DETROIT. Mich. June 5.-Manager
Clark Griffith has filed a protest with
President Ban Johnson OF the American
League, alleging that Umpire Tommy
Connolly erred in allowing Bobby
veach, the Tigers left fielder. a home
run in the eighth inning OF yesterdays
game. which was finally won by De-
troit, 1 to g.
Just what action President johnson
Will take II. Of course. unknown. How
ever. In all the history of the Ameri-
can League no protest has ever been
considered by Ban johnson. The
league boss works on the theory that
his umpires. even o'Loughlin. are in
fallible and because OF this understand
ing ne cannot consider charges that
they have made any mistakes.
Ground rules were In force when
veach drove a liner to right center In
the eighth inning. Owing to the shower.
the ans had stood UP as they saw
the ball coming they parted to let It go
through. Where the ball landed and
what happened to u is the cause Of the
protest. Howard Shanks, Clyde Milan.
Ray Morgan Mo. and Sam RI, Rice sS sSrs to
Milan. and Morgan swore that
the ball fell Just beneath the ropes upon
illegal territory. bounding into the air
They allege that the fans. many OF
them young boys. tried to catch II as
It came up OF the ground. Sam Rice,
who followed the course of the ball,
swore that he saw the ball bound of
a fans outstretched hand and on up
into the bleacher. over the wall. some
twelve feet high.
After a long argument with Umpire
Connolly in the eighth. Manager Grif-
nth served notice upon him that the
Washington club played the remainder
Of the game under protest and that he
would Ale n complaint with President
johnson. This was done last night.
Umpire Connolly ruled that the ball
struck inside of the ropes and then
bounded over the heads OF the fans into
the bieachers. never landing in the IL
legal space between the ropes and the
wall of tho bleachers. This space was
some twenty-five feet wide. Shanks
claims that but for the rope he mint
have caught the ball or at least have
knocked II down. He was within a
few feet of II and says that II fell be-
meath the rope into the space left va
cant by the retreating fans. As IL
bounced UP the fans tried to catch IL.
He Is not sure whether II was touched
or not. Milan and Morgan, who had
gone out into the outfield for the relay
throw, agree with Shanks' statement.
Allowing Veach home run put De-
troit ahead. In the ninth the Griffmen
again tied the score only to have Dauss
come through with his drive in the last
half scoring Kavanaugh with the win
ming run.
