"Muggsy" McGraw Gets
Heavy Fine With Censure;
Warning to Offenders

New York. Aug. 30.-John ]. Nc
Graw, manager of the New York
baseball club, was yesterday fined
$1,000 and reprimanded by the board
of directors Of the National League
for approving an interview, subse-
quently published containing an at
tack upon John X. Tener. president
of the league.
The action was taken as the result
of the demand for an investigation of
the case by the New York chapter
of the Baseball Writer'S Association
of America. after McGraw had signed
a statement repudiating the inter-
view when brought before the league
on charges filed by President Tener
After rehearsing the facts of the
case the board concludes: The Incl
dents leading UP to the matter under
consideration have resulted in a fine
of $500 and suspension without salary
for sixteen days. Therefore, the
beard finds that there should be i'm
posed in addition to this formal rep
rimand and censure. fine of $1,000.
This is deemed by the board of di-
rcctors a proper time to warn man
ayers and other employees of the
league that on any future convic-
tion for an offense of this nature a
penalty of suspension for the season
will be the minimum punishment"

Busy's Lassie Winner
in Knickerbocker Trot

Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Aug. S0.-
Busy's Lassie, owned by Barton Par
dee, of Atlantic City. N. J.. and driven
by Walter R. Cox, yesterday won
t'the Knickerbocker," 2.07 trot for
a $4,000 purse in the Grand Circuit,
but not until the event had gone
four heats, although it was raced
on the three-heat system.
At the end of the third heat
Busy's Lassie and Brescia stood tied
in the summary and under the rules
the two horses went another heat to
decide the winner of the race. The
best time was in the first heat, 2:06 Il
which was won by Brescia, after AL
Mack, the favorite, which had been
leading. went to a break in the
home stretch. Rodney, driver of
Brescia, was pocketed in the second
heat, which Al Mack won, and breaks
cost AL Mack and Brescia the third
heat. Busy's Lassie, winner of the
heat, easily defeated Brescia in the
fourth.
Expressive Lou, driven by Murphy,
won the 2:09 trot in straight heats,
but the finishes were very close,
Koroni being the principal conten-
der.
''The vassar," for two-year-old
trotters, was won by Peter June in
straight heats. Ruth Mainsheet and
Miriam Guy dividing second and
third moneys.
During the afternoon Thomas W.
Murphy, who is a resident of this
city, was presented with a silver
punch bowl by the owners of the
Pastime stable at Cleveland, Ohio, in
recognition of his services in driving
the pacemaker for Lee Axworthy last
year when that horse established a
worlds record of 1:58A.

MADE HISTORY RICH

locals stiffest opponents. The champs
took two games from the railroad
town lads on Memorial Day in extra
inning conflicts, one of them going
ten innings and the other twelve.
At that time Marysville was play
ing with a badly crippled team.
Marysville took the first game on
Independence Day and was leading
by Al score in the eighth inning
of the second conflict of the day
when the new champs jumped all
over the deliveries of the opposing
hurlers.
Newport Had the Stuff
Another record was hung up when
Newport clubbed out a dozen runs
in q single inning. Another record
was made in this conflict with the
ending out of thirty-four safe bingles,
twenty of them by Newport and
fourteen by Marysville.

The Official records have not yet

numerous doubles and triples. This
record of eleven home runs is a new
one for the league and is just two less

By WESTY SHORE

Newport, Pa, Aug. S0.-Playing q
hard and consistent game all season,
Newport landed the 1917 Dauphin-
Perry League pennant with a record
of seventeen victories out of twenty
starts. This brings the third Dau-
phin- Perry gonfalon to Perry county
in the three years of the leagues
existence.
Dauphin county has not been far
from the lead at the end of any OF
the trio of seasons. And every time
it was the Dauphin team from the
smallest town in the circuit that
achieved the unique result of being
runners-up in every Dauphin-Perry
League race. At times this team was
tied for the lead, but always lacked
the punch to cross the line winner
Marysville beat out Dauphin in 1915
and 1915.
The standard of the national pas
time in this league has steadily ad-
vanced since the opening game on
May 22, 1915. This year every team
had a good contingent representing 1t
on the field and hard luck may be
blamed for the poor standing or
some of the teams down in the race.
Blue Ridge League players have been
members of the squads of the six
teams at various times during the
year and it may we'll be said that
their work in the DIP could not
compare to that in the professional
league. And that is putting it mildly
at the best.
New Seasons Record
Newport's record of seventeen VIC
tories and three defeats this year is
a new one for the Dauphin-Pe
a record at which the others can
shoot for some years to come. The
best previous record was made dur
ing the 1916 season by Marysville
when the team captured fifteen
games in the league series. The final
two games were dropped when the
team used youngsters in one conflict
and did not put a team on the field
for the other. Otherwise, Newports
record might merely be tying an old
one.
Newport was never out of the lead
or a tie for it all season. The three
defeats were suffered at the hands
of Dauphin, Duncannon and Marys-
vile. Marysville proved to be the
