ship the water commissioner was in
s,rueted TO make a monthly report
10 the aidermanic board giving the
names OF all water consumers who
are delinquent in their water rent
land the amount due.
/ There was considerable discus
sion over enforcing the Irrigation
hours provided by ordinance--three
hours. from 3 O'Clock to o'clock
morning and evening. Some mem
bers OF the council were very anx-
ious to try the scheme OF permit
ting irrigating from 5 o'clock in the
morning until O'Clock in the ev-
ening. and II was thought tho scheme
would work out successfully, c:ovid-
ing the water hogs" could be pre-
vailed upon not to irrigate all the
time. but only when It was abso-
lutely necessary. With the four new
wells now being put down at the
city water plant II Is thought there
will be an abundance OF water. and
IL consumers will utilize little
sense and moderation In the use OF
water the open hours" will con.
tinue just as long as the city is able
to supply the necessary water. II
the water hogs continue to irrigats
night and day the old irrigation
hours will be re-established. and the
regulations provided In. the ordin.
ance will be enforced to the letter
II is up to the water consumers to
determine which system shall be In
vogue.

CASE IS
BEFORE DIRECTORS
OF LEAGUE TODAY

New York. July 6-Martin W. Lit
Teton acted as counsel for the New
York Chapter of the Baseball Writers
association when the so-called Nc
Graw reputation case was reopened
at a meeting of the Board of Directors
of the National League at West
Fortieth street this. morning.
This in itself gives reasonable as
surance that the truth will be estab-
lished before the meeting (Which be-
gan at II o'clock} is over, as Mr..
Littleton has a way of getting to the
bottom of things.
John J. McGraw was quoted in sew
era1 New York papers of June Ii as
severely criticising John K. Tener,
charging him with general incapacity
and the misuse of power.
This interview was fatty repudiated
by the manager of the Giants when
he was called to account by the Board
of Directors of the National League.
After saying that he had just read for
the first time certain "seurrilouss
newspaper articles under June IA, he
added:
ST desire to state that I did not
make the statements nor give out by
intimation any utterance that might
be construed in any way to reflect
upon the ability, honesty and integrity.
OF the president Of the league"
This threw the responsibility and
burden directly upon the baseball
writer's, and as the reputation was
accepted by President Tener and the
Board of Directors these same writer's
practically were declared guilty with
out a hearing.
The Incident was declared closed,
but it did not remain closed. At a,
melting of the New York Chapter Of
the Baseball Writer'S association a
resolution was adopted pointing out
that grievous reflection had been
cast on writers whose integrity was
unquestionable to say nothing of q
slur on journalism, and requesting
President Tener of the National
League to reopen the Casa request
which was promptly granted. -

New York, July GA. three-run
lead, and the fact that the Dodgers
rai=-d tho National League cham
pionsnfp emblem which they won last
year, was not sufficient for the Giants
to win the final game from the Brook
iyn team at Ebbets Field yesterday
afternoon. Robbie's men came from
behind and scored enough runs off
the pitching of Rube Benton, JEFF
Tesreau and G. Columbia Smith to
give them the victory by 6 to 8.
1t Is traditional that whenever a
team celebrates a special occasion, or
II any of its members are the recip-
tents of gifts, the club generally loses
the ball game that follows and by an
overwhelming score Therefore, on
past performances, the Dodgers had
no license to win yesterdays game.
But they did, to the delight of 5000
of their admirers.
1t looked very mucn as If the we'll
known Jinx was operating on the
Dodgers when the Giants gathered in

the dde of battle began to sway in
the fourth.

WON'T REINSTATE
OuIMET TO Old
AMATEUR RATING

New York, July 6.-The executive
committee of the United States Golf
association has refused to reinstate
Francis Ouimet as an amateur. Some
weeks ago the former national cham
pion applied for reinstatement and
subsequently he appeared before the
committee in this city.
During the hearing, in which the
best Of feeling prevailed, Ouinet show
ed to the committee that his business
as now conducted had to do with golf
only in part To be exact, he said
that that end of the business amount
ed to not more than 20 Nper cent
The officials of the parent organi-
cation, however, felt that so long as
Oufrnet's affairs were conducted as
they are at present it would be inn
possible to make any change in its or
fgfnal decision Ouinet is entered
for the amateur championship of the
Western Golf association, scheduled
to start on Monday at Midlothian.
This revfves speculation as to what
action the u. S. G. A. may take with
regard to the Western body in allow
ing a golfer not in good amateur
standing to compete.

carried 1t out in q most efficient

ment Mr. Williams Is considerably

Wilson in 1913 also appointed him a
member of the central committee of

Bob Groom Pitching
Good Ball For st. Louis
Despite Long Career

Bob GFsem is now running true to
form and is pitching ball as he did in
the old days. 1t took him some time
to get into trim but it is confidently
expected that, once he has come back
he will stay there. 1t will be Femem-
bered that Groom jumped the Wash
ingtens in 1914 to pitch for the st.
Louis Feds. When the latter were
consolidated with the Browns a year
ago Fielder Jones refused to let Groom
get away from him, and since then
has helped Groom in many ways. That
excellent pitcher is now IS years old,
which fully entities him to the claim
of veteran. 1t looks, however, as
though he still had a number of sea-
sons of good pitching in him and if
that is true no one will be more pleas
ed than Jones, with the possible ex-
ception of Groom himself.

LEAR'S HOME RUN
HELPS LOCALS TO
DOWN PORTLAND

Portland, Me-, July 6-The long
est hit ever made on the local
grounds was poled by King Lear, the
Bridgeport third sacker, who put a
ball over the left field fence here
yesterday. There were two on bases
in the fifth inning when the blow was
delivered That kept Bridgeport in
the game and the Americans finally
downed Portland by 6 to 5.
Dug Smith did the hurting for
Bridgeport. He got off to a bad
start but after the first inning held
the Portland sluggers well in check.
KrichelFs men knocked Dick Tuckey
out in five innings but were unable
to do much with Spaid. who succeed
ed him. Johnny Priest and Grimes
each got two hits.
Portland got three runs in the first
on a pass to Burns, a wild pitch, an
error by Lear which allowed Lord
to get first, a single by Tamm and
Browns triple. In this inning Priest
got around for Bridgeport on his sin
gle, a steal Of second and Corcoran's
hit. In the fourth Mahoney's single
and O'DonnelPs double produced a
run for Portland.
In the fifth Priest got his second hit
and. linn walked. Then Lear came
through with his home run, making
the score to 4. Brown was safe
on Priests error in the fifth and
counted on Dowell's triple. ,rnat
gave Portland a to 4 lead but. the
Americans got two in the sixth and
won the game. Martin hit for two
bases and Lord threw wildly on
Egan's bunt, both runners scoring.

Tuckey and no further scoring was
done. The Bridgeport team is here

TENER AND JOHN
M'GRAW SHAKE
HANDS FOR FANS

New York, July 6-Jehn ], Me,
Graw, manager of the Giants, and
John K, Tenef, president of the Ma,
tienat League, shook hands at Ebbets
Field yesterday when the National
League pennant of L 916 was formally
presented to the Brooklyn team,
''Hew dye do. Jehn?'' President
Tener is reported as saying as he ex,
tended his hand to the man who less
than two weeks ago was quoted as
saying things decidedly unpleasant
concerning the executive ability of
the president of the league,
1t is true that MeGfaw repudiated
this interview. 1T is true also that
President Tener accepted the repu-
diation and declared T. the incident
closed.
It's also true hawever,. that the
incident is not closed and that Nc
Graw must repudiate the interview all
over again or else repudiate the re-
pudiation when the case is reepened
at the reuest of the New York Chap,
ter of the Baseball Writer'S associa-
ton this morning. Perhaps that
handshake yesterday was for public
consumption and largely perfunctery.
