CHICAGO, Aug. 2s.-Manager Mil
Ter Huggins and four members Of the
New York American League Club and
three players of the Chicago Ameri-
cans were fined by Ban Johnson,
President of the American League, to-
day in connection with the protested
New York Chicago game here on Aug
/. Huggins drew the largest fine,
800. The others were assessed $25
each.
The fines against the New York
players were imposed for what Presi-
dent johnson termed "the disgrace
full exhibition OF stalling' in the con-
test which resulted in a protest by the
Chicago cl,,h. Ths "s-g York play
ers fined, in addition to Manager Hug
gins, were Bob Meusel, Everett Scott,
Waite Hoyt and Willie Schang. The
Chicago players who also were fined
we're Urban Faber. Bib Falk and Ray
Schalk The game will be played over,
President Johnson decided.
The game does not affect the pres
ent standing Of the two clubs in the
pennant race as it was called because
of rain in the first half of the fifth
inning with Chicago leading 3 to l.
Previous to the calling of the game
the Chicago players contendcd that
the Yankee players stalled in an
effort TO avert defeat Umpircs Din
neen and Moriarity in their reports
to President johnson censurcd several
players on both clubs.
"The horse play of both teams
was highly reprehensiblc and gross
imposition to the fans" President
Johnson said.
"Incidents OF this sort are not OF
recent origin in professional baseball
but every clear-thinking club owner
should make an honest stand to wipe
| out tIuue ptIlOi H'aN0OS VI 'ui'
character.
Manager Huggns's report is 6
frank admission Of the guilty tactics
employed by the New York Club. He
played the most important part IT
the programme of 'stalling.' We
cannot condone the conduct of a mar
filing a position Of such responsi'
bility."
| President johnson warned that 6
repetition would result in n ten-day
suspension for Manager Huggin'
without salary.
