New York, Aug. 19..-Ruling on the
protest of the Phillies Of the game
played with New York Giants at the
Polo Grounds on the afternoon of July
5, President John A. Heydler, of the
National League, has ordered the last
three innings of the game replayed be
fore the scheduled game September 3.
The teams are directed to line up as
nearly as possible to the lineup of the
game of July 3, to take the field as OF
the first half of the seventh inning with
Stengel, Of the Philles on third and
Fletcher on first and two out.
This was the situation when the dis
puted play took place: Wrightstone hit
a fly to short left, which Umpire Harri-
son ruled an 'infeld fiy," automatically
retiring the batter. Left Fielder Burns
of the Giants, however, permitted tn.
ball TO drop safely, then recovered II
and threw It to second base, Fletcher
being declared by Field Umpire Nc.
Cormick forced out.
Fletcher, who was put out Of tn,
game for disputing the decision, will bc
permitted to take his place in the line
up. President Heydler denied thu
Phillies' protest and appeal to have tn,
entire game replayed because at tn,
time of the dispute the score was 9 to
in New York's favor.
