SPORTING NOTES

President Hampstead of the New York
National league team has announced the
suspension Of Herzog for refusing to ac-
company the team on the recent trip to
Boston, although he was informed by
McGraw that he would not have to play

his spine and was unable to play for

Graw states that he was needed with the
team, even if he did not play.

dered to take the bench for an indefinite

mediately left the field, and the chances
are that he may be suspended for the re-
mainder of the season,

victory over Pittsburg Monday, for he
saved the game in the l4th inning by
