Nate IeCelplS were IeluuueC anu lne
sympathies of the crowd, which took
the disappointment good naturally,
were all with the New York club.
Although the Giants and Senator's
are scheduled to play in Knoxville,
Petersburg, Norfolk and Washington in
the next four days and at the Polo
Grounds on Saturday and Sunday it is
dollars to doughnuts the tour will be
called off, in so far as the Senators are
concerned. Manager McGraw said he
would take the Giants to the several
cities scheduled, ready to play the
Washingtons.
If Clark Griffith does not care 20
continue this series, that's his bust
ness" said McGrsw.
Giants to Continue Trip
But we will be on every field, pre-
pared for play. | understand Griffith
has said he will not play. If the Sena-
tors do not appear we will file claim
Tor damages with the National Com
mission. have telegraphed to John
Heydler to file q claim with Judge
Lands for our share of the receipts
Tor this afternoons game. If the
Senators do not want to play we will
schedule local clubs. But Griffith's
action will not disconcert me in any
way, nor will it bring any change in
the itinerary of the Giants"
Griffith said that he had determined
not to play the series if Brennan UNI
pired. McGraw later said that Griffith
had not notified him officially of that
decision.
But Brennan umpires or there will
be no games," McGraw added.
SO the series may be regarded as off.

inning. The Senators scored one run
IN the first and another in the third.

Monroe goes back to first or he can
stay on second as long as he likes, "
Mcbride announced, on signal from
Griffith. 4 heated debate followed, and
finally Mcbride began to call Brennan
harsh names.
"Yon re ordered off the field, and I
give ne Washington club five minutes
20 decide whether it wants to play ball
or forfeit this game" Brennan an
nounced.
Mcbride told Brennan that to wait
1--WE minutes would be waste of time,
We are not going on with this game.
The Senator's leader beloved Bren-
nan waited five minutes and then for
1eited the game to the Giants.
McGraw ran out to the scene of de.
bate and Griffith followed. The Giants
manager attempted to explain why
Monroe was justified in going to sec

not listen.
