New York, Aug 2e.-John J. Mo Graw, manager of the New York base ball dub. was today fined Sl.ooo, cen sured and reprimanded by the board of directors of the National League for approving an interview, subse- quently published. containing an at tack upon John K Tener, president Of the league.
 This action was taken as the result of the demand for an investigation of the case by the New York chapter of the Baseball Writers Association or AmerIca after McGraw had signed a statement repudating the interview when brought before the league upon charges filed by President Tener.
 The meeting was attended by Pres idents P. D. Haughton. Boston club; Barney Dreyfuss, Pittsburgh; c. H. Ebbets Brooklyn; Branch Hickey, St. Louis; W. F. Baker. Philadelphia, and H. M. Hampstead. New York The lat ter did not vote. as his club was in volved.
 The complete finding of the board follows:
 ITO ,he New York Chapter of the
 Baseball Writers Association of
 America:
 "Gentlemen: In response to your resolution of June 27 the directors of the National League of Professional Baseball Clubs have carefully consId- cred the matters referred to and have unanimously made a formal finding as follows:
 'First-Manage McGraw of the New York Baseball club of our league was asked to appear before this board on June 19. to explain articles appear ing in certain New York newspapers on or about June fl.
 ''Second-Manag McGraw denied that he had given the interview as published and voluntarily signed a statement to that effect and the board, accepting this in good faith, did not try him for his alleged utterances
 "Third-At the hearing held at your request several witnesses were heard They were present a the talk be- tween Manager McGraw and the re porter All agreed that McGraw did not make the statements published in the interview. Nevertheless, he tech nicaIIy approved the interview when, after having been given an opportu- nifty to suppress or correct it. he fail ed to do so: and though witnesses diff fer as to whether he actually read the article or not he gave his sanction bV. handing the same back to the report CT, saying:
 CT guess that is all right
 Therefore he must be charged with as this board is concerned.
 "F'ourth-By so doing Manager Me Graw failed in his duty to his club and the league>and we formally con demn and censure him for his gross lack of care in thus permitting the publica tion in question.
 "F'ifth-The incidents leading up to the matter under consideration have resulted in a fine of $500 and suspen- sion without salary for sixteen days Therefore. the board finds that there should be imposed in addition to this formal reprimand and censure, a fine of S1 LOCO.
 "sixth-Thts is deemed by the board of directors a proper time to warn managers and other employees of the league that on any future conviction for an offense of-this nature. penal ty of suspension for the sea son will be the minimum punishment"

CONNEFF ONE OF
 GREATEST RUNNERS
Set Record for Mile that Stood for
 Fifteen Years.

It was twenty-two years ago Aug. 2S. 1895, that Tommy Conniff, the speedy son of Erin, set up a ney rec ord for amateurs in covering mile, a record that , stood for over fif- teen years before it was lowered by the merest fraction of a second.
 was at Trovers Island, the home of the New York Athletic club, that the little Irish American performed his memorable feat. A week before, Conneff had covered 1920 yards in } minutes, 45 seconds. which con stituted a record. Then he determin- d to do a mile in such time as would never be bettered. he test of speed was carefully planned, and on the day set the track conditions were perfect. The weather was ideal Hand leaps assuring perfect pacing added to COnneff's opportunity. and he real ized that it was a case of now or never"
 The little Irishman fairly split the air and it almost took two persons to keep track of him-.one to say here he comes," and the other to say there he goes" At the finish Of the mile the watch showed that f min utes IS 3-5 second had elapsed. Ex- perts declared that the mark could never be lowered, in which theE were mistaken, but for fifteen years it seemed that their prediction was cor rect. Nearly seven years passed af- ter that memorable day in 1895 be- fore any amateur threatened to reach the Conneff mark J. Binks, the Eng fish runner. came within one and one fifth seconds of the record, but that was the best he could do
 Several years passed with the Con- neff record still on the shelf gathering dust until 1909. a the Harvard Stad ium. when Wilton Paul. of the | mi versity of Pennsylvania gave the Con 1eff record 2 close shave by doing mile in 1 minutes IT 4-5 seconds. It was not until May 27. 1911 at Cam bridge Mass. that T. P. Jones. the great Cornell runned, actually beat the COnneff mark by one fifth of second Tommy Conneff long ago took off the spiked shoes for good and all. and joined the United States army
 He will be a good one to have lround when it comes to chasing the 'nemy. They are not likely to escape him. Conneff served in the Philip pines. where he used his wonderful speed in getting after the Tagalogs and other unfriendly spirits. Later he served at Uncle Sams farthest aOrth army posts at St. Michaels, Al aska. When last heard of he was in southern California and had risen to he rank of sergeant.
