Tho wonderful lawsuit In progress at tho behest of an organlza " jMon that was too dead to do anything b!Jt Institute proceedings seeking about a Million dollars sprang a sudden puncturo and went down for tho count beforo the regulation ninth Inning. And right on tho heels of this President John Tenor, of the National League, has called a special meeting of tho organization for the Implied purposo of having himself sustained In throwing out of the game, accord ing to his accusation, tho most troublesome figure In tho pastime, and possibly of Inflicting much more drastic punishment. Muggsy McGraw has been Jabbing viciously nt President Tencr because Tener fined him heavily for assaulting Umpire Uyron In Cincinnati. Ills attack ' to loud, long and of tho back-fenco variety, and tho baseball public knows full well what he thinks of tho former executlvo of this Stato. But they know, too, that Muggsy's spanking hurt and thero Is much chuckling In certain quarters. Muggsy, at the head of a winning army in New York, has a certain kind of popularity, but at the helm of a team that 'Is not a supremo success tho testy Muggsy is stripped of a good deal of his fame. He Is a good winner from any angle. Ho Is a mighty unenviable loser. Tener has shown a meek if not flaccid spirit in dealing with tho blatant Now Torker. Last fall, In tho memorablo Giants-Dodger scries, Muggsy stalked off the field and accused his players of lying down to Robinson's crew. Toner took no notlco of this at tho time It happened and all hands looked for eomo kind of a flare-up at tho league meeting last winter. A couplo of wiso mon from tho West had it that Muggsy was going to mount the platform before his peers and pull some sort of an amazing Spartncus. But nothing over happened. Muggsy clamped up and down tho corridors of tho Waldorf In vain. Tho door to tho meeting was closed. TENER was not ready at that timo to deal with tho fractious leader of the Giants. Many persons camo to him and told him of Muggy'a nttl- ,. tude, bufho didn't sco fit to act at that timo. Now Jawn hath arisen in' his wrath and called a leaguo meeting to consider the case of Muggsy. There are hints that McGraw may bo suspended for tho rest of tho season. Tencr Cuts Out the Watchful Waiting Stuff "DIG JAWN has Indeed ended his period of watchful waiting in regard to Mc--' Graws action. Jawn's advancing chin advanced a fraction more yesterday , when he talked of tho McGraw case. "What does ho think ho 13 doing?" nald Tener yesterday when ho was asked regarding McGraw's reputed assertions against his integrity. "I will let my record stand by his any time. McGraw de erved everything he got. I'm suro that the National Leaguo will back mo up in rny stand in tho matter. McGraw can't bully me. I'm not afraid of him." McGraw has in published interviews been calling Tener everything from n, dummy to an exceedingly clever manipulator of National League affairs in favor of the Philadelphia club. Ho is quoted as calling Tener a contract Jumper during the brotherhood war, a politician and a dummy. It looks very much as if Muggsy had gone down tho gamut of abuso with great gusto and with no par ticular regard to consistency. "I hear ho was saying that I was depriving the Giants of the pennant by, . depriving them of his services for a time," said Mr. Tencr. "Well, that's not my concern. What I'm after is to stop rowdyism." THERE aro indeed breakers ahead for Muggsy. Such statements as ho Is quoted as having made about Tencr havo very much aggrieved tho ex-Governor. Jawn is not unused to a certain amount of criticism, having held public office. But tho talk of McGraw Is barely printable. It should be stopped. What Particular Jolt Broke the Dawlfed's Wagon Down? fTlHEIR suit against Organized Ball started oft on Monday with a great deal of determination and valorous assertion on tho part of tho Baltlmoreans. They were steaming along flno when the breakdown came. jGarry Herrmann's asser tion that the major leagues paid $500,000 to some of tho Federal Leaguo clubs to ro out of business because tho moguls wanted to restore public confidence should bo voiced at Leaguo Island over In tho barracks some nice afternoon. It was thought yesterday morning that tho prosecution would start Garry merrily "grlmmlng" his way along with his talk of restoring confidence at $500,000 a con. But Garry never had a chanco to rival Hans Christian Andersen seriously, for he didn't take tho stand yesterday morning. TTJVERYBODY conversant with tho caso knew that it dropped flat on JCj Thursday afternoon when the minutes of tho peace meeting in New York in December, 1915, were produced. Garry's Testimony Confirmed in Type TT WAS then that Garry Herrmann's later testimony was confirmed in typo. Garry's testimony ran: "They called upon me at the Waldorf Hotel and told me that tho Federal Leaguo had a meeting that day and had passed a resolution offered by Mr. Rasln, president of the Baltlmoro Federal League club, authorizing tho appointment of a commltteo of four for tho purposo of conferring with tho representatives of the National and American Leagues with a view to entering Into a peace pact. They said the committee had full power to act." Garry told then of the actual peace meeting and mentioned tho fact that Mr. Raein was there. '.'At half-past nine or ten," his testimony ran, "Mr. Janney cams In." Mr. Janney is one of tho owners of the dead club and was the chief counsel for the prosecution. One of the counsel for tho defendants said that the caso broke down because Janney did not know somo of tho transactions Rasln had with the two major league clubs and the National Commission. Ho argued that if Rasln had moved the appointment of tho peace committee in tho Federal Leaguo, and had been thero when the committee was appointed and sent forth, ho certainly by his silence, to say tho least, gave that committee the right to act for the wholo Federal League. And as he gave that permission as president of tho Bawlfeds, argued the lawyer, and agreed to abide by tho decision of the whole meeting, ho bad no complaint coming. THUS passed into history the only baseball game ever played at which peanuts could not be eaten. Everybody was set for a long run and the sudden stop threw some of the participants forward suddenly, Just as when a car stops. Some of them wero tossed clear over against tho Con tinental Hotel bar. Minor League Baseball Is Tottering "OASEBALL in the minor leagues, by the frank admission of A. R. Tearney Jj president of the Three-I League, and the more or less frank admissions of other league presidents, Is tottering. Replying to the suggestion by Tearney that, to save money and protect title to players now under contract, a meeting of tho presidents should be held In order to tako concerted action, tho sentiment is divided. Some of the executives feel the step should be taken. Others, while admitting tho seriousness of tho situation, are reluctant to go so far. A few decline to enter into the suggestion. Thomas J. Hlckey, president of the American Association, expressed the opin ion that such a step would be advisable. Ed G. Barrow, of the International League, an organization which has gone through more trouble than any other league in the country, still believes It Is the best thing to pull through if such a thing is at all possible. He objected to the Joint meeting proposed, believing title to players would be hard to retain. R. H. Baugh, of the Southern Association, said the weather has been good and attendance everything that could be expected in his circuit. Ho admitted, however, the outlook was uncertain. Tho Eastern League will weather tho storm in the' opinion of President Dan O'Neil. Conditions, however, havo not been overly good in this organization. JV. JAMISON, JR., president of tho Blue Ridge League, replied that his circuit already has disbanded. Bad weather, the prospect of a war tax and the depressing influence of a war spirit all had their effect In producing this result, he said. J, W. Morsjs, president of the Texas League, faVored the Idea of the meeting and wrote that bad conditions bad already forced his league to drop two of its cities Beaumont and Galveston. He was of the opinion that tho circuit would be able to make it the rest of the year; President Braham, of the North Carolina League, also had dropped two cities and was heartily in favor of tho meeting. Seems to Be a Case of Good Things All Along the Line TODAY would be an Ideal one for the opposite stuff to Casey at the bat. Looking over things basebaltlc one finds that there la general cause for satisfaction. Those Phils got busy again in Cincinnati, and as the Giants were held back by ' rain, Moran's men returned to first place. That Is, the team's are tied and If you kave the pleasure of living in Philly the papers will Inform you that the Phils are on top. And 'then the fighting twentieth century model A's are roosting in seventh place. No Cellar position this third. Saturday in June. Washington has that honor, and, while three points is not much to brag about, the Mackmen feel the benefit of the .378 mark. In addition, the baseball suit is over. ' Finally baseball in the East will get another boost tomorrow when the St. Louis Browns meet the Yankees in a Sunday ball game for the first time In the history of major league baseball In New York.

M'GRAW EAGER TO FIGHT WITH TENER Would Maul Him Just Like He Did Byron, Says Mr. Muggsy FINE WORTH THE MONEY PITTSBURGH, June 16. "Considering tho fact that Tener has never clone any thing right slnco tho Philadelphia club hand-picked him to bo president of tho Na tional Lenguo, I am not surprised that ho Ignored the facts In this case and proceeded on his fixed policy of soaking tho New York club. What more can you expect of a dummy?" John J. McGraw thus dellverotl himself here last night, and ho said plenty more. "If Tener said to mo what Byron said," continued McGraw, "I would Ecrvo him tho same way. I'd give another hundred to havo him hero right now to tell him what I think of him. Ho Is ono of tho reasons why tho National League ranks second to the American League, and If there wero three leagues the National would bo third. "Knowing where Mr. Tener has been this week. I can Imagine where ho received his expert advice In my enso. Last season tho Philadelphia club tried to start something becausy I called down a director or stock holder who was yelling out of a box at us. Maybo those who advised Tencr to keep ma off tho bench for sixteen days flguro that the Phillies will be tho gainers. Still, I notlco they are not gaining on tho Giants. "Did they do anything to Byron for starting a personal quarrel with me after a game? Of course I might have known better than to wasto my breath asking that ques tion. Protests about gotten umpiring havo no weight when they coma from any one of seven managers In the National League. A ball player won't bo able to look at Byron now without being put off the field. I am not tho only ono who Isn't afraid to tell him what a Joke ho Is as an umpire. He Is quarreling with players everywhere he ap pears. "The umpiring Is a farce In the National League, and will bo until there Is a presi dent who knows the dlfterencs between good umpires and bad one, and attends the games to see them work. There aro somo capable umpires In the National League, but tho Giants get only occasional glimpses of them. "I can stand a flno of $500, and I will say It was worth It to pop Byron for slandering mo." WITH HONUS BACK IN HARNESS, PLANK NOW HAS COMPANION AS PAST-FORTY-YEAR BIG LEAGUER Lajoie Also Is in Harness at Near Half-Century Mark Many Golfers Have Shown Best Form Around Fifty Figure By GRANTLAND RICE The Advance Guard For those Americans who first left for tho French front a year or more aim thn lines, author unknown, aro applicable or mo aBO ,hesa "Jolly good fellows who die for tho death of it; Fight for the fun of it live for the breath of it; Catch at the instant and drink of the minute, Thinking not, caring not what may be in it."

"TjOW many men," asks F. T. R., "have -vX been stars In sport after passing forty? I mean by stars nblo to competo with tho best In tho gamo on fairly even terms." Wo havo no "Who's Who In Sport Beyond Forty" at our side. But In baseball, Anson, Young, Wagner, Lajolo and Plank were, or Mill are, Etar3 beyond tho legal sportlvo limit. In golf thero are, or there were, Vardon, Braid, Taylor, Johnny Ball, Walter Travis and numberless others at their best above this age. Brookes and Larned were both stars around this age, pr Just short of the mark, In tennis. Fitzslmmons at forty was Btlll ablo to fire a salvo of wallops; but very few fight ers havo been any good beyond thirty-five. For the "Whites of Their Eyes . "The annual national rifle match has been cancelled. At first thought this seems a queer sport to cancel now. But on second thought few American rifles can carry .3000 miles, and tho only in teresting riflo. targets for American guns aro now fully that far away. Tho Long Climb Joe Jackson has never known what It was to bat below .300 for a year. But tho Greenville Grenade Is now well back of tho mark, more than fifty points back, and June Is skidding rapidly toward July. He needs an early start to pass the old landmark, but the chances aro that he will. For the .300 eye Is hard to suppress, once It develops tho habit.

WESTERN PITCHERS AND NOW ARE CAUGHT BY GIANTS In BATTING Whitted Only .300 Clouter, Cravath Being Lead ing Slugger and Alex Best Pitcher in Na tional Mclnnis Next to Cobb and Speaker - THE pitchers of tho Cards and Reds did somo effcctlvo twirling against tho Thllll.,' during tho last week, with tho result that tho men of Moran fell from tha un. disputed possession of tho top In team batting to a tlo with tho hard-hitting Na! York aggregation. . Tho Phils still pack a good punch in their bludgeons, but havo dropped, and now havo to be content with a .262 rating against a .274 a week ago. Only ono member of tho Quaker clan, in fact, Is now In tho select circle, and that Is Whitted, with .302 Cravath and Killefer both tumbled out of tho .300 division. Klllofer Is down to ',2W Bancroft, .280; Cravath, .281; Stock, .280; Ludcrus, .276, and Paskcrt, .256. Kle'hoft dropped below tho .260 mark. Cravath still leads In total bases, however, and is also tho leading homefrun clouter. His aggregate Is eighty, with six home runs. Tho feature In tho American Leaguo race Is the overtaking of Trls Speaker by Ty Cobb. Tho great Tiger batter overtook Speaker after trolling him since early last year. Mclnnis still Is topping the Mackmen with tho stick, having a .321, and is third among tho regulars In the league.. It Is noteworthy that pitchers, seldom known for their prowess with tho bat, aro the leaders on figures In both circuits, Babo Ruth topping the Junior circuit and Hendrlx, of tho Cubs, setting tho paco In tha senior organization. Both have taken part In sixteen games. Alexander heads tho pitchers In strlko-outs, having forced seventy-eight to breeze In fourteen games. Ho leads also In games won, with three reverses, Hs has won three more games than tho next highest flguro, that of Fred Toney. George Burns heads tho National League hitters and Cobb tops Speaker by threo points. NATIONAL, LEAGUE nATTDW AVERAGES O ,M. n. II. SB.TD. Hendrlx. Chi.... lfl 24 S fi 1 14 T. Clarltc.
