forts TO have President Heydler
reverse his decision in throwing
out game won by Cincinnati in
Pittsburgh May 2S.
When tho last few innings Of
that contest were replaycd victory
went 10 Pittsburgh. II the orig
inal victory by Cincinnati had been
allowed To stand, New York would
have been In the lead this morn
ing. when the Pirates led by
fraction Of point per cent.
Officials of the New York club
asserted that President Heydler
had disregarded the official re-
ports of his umpires and acted
solely on affidat!ts by Pittsburgh
spectators and players. In re-
newinE his previous request that
Heydler submit his action to the
leagues bbard of directors, John
McGraw, vice president OF the
New York club, said;
I'VE filed our protest with

our protest, as we are within our
legal rights In appealing from his
decision.
