USING FREAK DELIVERY.
Griffith Orders His Twirlers to Pitch
 "Shine Ball.

Clark Griffith is the vindictive lit tie thing. It will be recalled that Clark complained all last year against the shine" ball Eddie Cicottc, of the White Sox was supposed to be using Griff even took it up with President Johnson, did everything but go out on the ball field and personally di- vorce MT. Cicotte from his mysterious baffler. But without avail.
 The new season found Cicotte still in there shining by dint of his shin CT. It made the cstimable Mr. Grif- filth very distressed. Then suddenly the breeding Griffith got an idea. He would fight Cicotte at his own game. If the league wouldn't do anything to stop the shine ball practice he'd take the matter in his own hands.
 Well, 10 get 10 the point of this narrative, Griffith has instructed every pitcher on his staff to develop "shiner.'
 And if you don't, I'll fine you" warned the pilot Of the Washington team.
 It is said now that even Walter Johnson is throwing this freak ball.

 bnal league and the major league ans before soldier crowds. Bresnahan's idea is the result of Ie light attendance in American as- Iciation cities, plus the fact that the bvernment is vitally interested in 3e national game.

McGRAW PROTESTS.
Giants Manager Puts His Grievance
 Up to President Tener.

New York, June 14-The Giants through Manager McGraw have pros tested the game won by the St. Louis Cardinals in the tilt of a double header on the Polo Grounds last Saturday, which St. Louis won if the eleventh inning by score of to 2, McGraw protests a decision by Um- pire William Byron which resulted in the Cardinals scoring two runs in the eleventh inning.
 With two outs in the 11th, Smyths on second base and Kavanaug1a on first, Snydes hit long fly to Young in right field, which the little fly chaser got under with some difff- cu1ty. He made the catch, but fell as he did so and rolled over on the ground. When he got up the ball Twas on the pround and Kauff picked 1t up and threw to second to hold Snyder at that base. Smythe and kaVanaugh both scored on the play.
 The Giants claimed at the time that Young had held the ball long enough to make the catch and Me- Graw kikcked so vigorously over the decision that he was ordered off the field by Bryon. In his plea to Tener McGraw asks that Byron's decision De investigated, as he contends Young made a legal catch.
 The Giant leader bases his protest on Tener's action in recently sus- taln1ng a protest of Manager -Jen- dricks of St. Louis and throwing out a game which had been won by Cin- c1nnati early in the season.
