President George Graham Met Con
ditions Promptly; Six Players
Suspended
Trl-State League wreckers yester
day were again at work in Lancaster,
but once more their efforts were a flat
failure. President George M. Gra
ham proved he was the real boss, and
that he does not propose to tolerate
anything that Is unfair.
Six of the Lancaster players refused
to go to Allentown with Manager Ed
die Hooper until they had been paid
■two weeks' salary due them on their
contract with York backers. Man
ager Hooper informed the players that
there was money sufficient to meet
the salaries due, and the players
■would be paid when they reached Al
lentown. This information was not
tftken seriously. Manager Hooper
; then cancelled the game with Allen
town and wired for President Gra
ham.
The Trl-State leader reached Lan
caster at 2 o'clock yesterday after
noon. One-half hour later six Lan
caster players, Guy Milliman, E. J.
Lidgate, Frank Swayne, Gus Dundon,
Royo Doty and John Owen, were dis
ciplined yesterday by President Gra
ham, of the Tri-State League, for in
subordination. In a statement, Presi
dent Graham said:
"There was no possible excuse for
this breach of baseball law. The
money was only overdue five days,
the regular pay day being July 15. I
had informed the players through
Manager Hooper and Business Man
ager Douglas, that in order to raise
the current payroll, the recruits from
Saturday's game would be needed and
the checks would be mailed on Mon
day and received by the men in Al
lentown on Tuesday morning in the
first mail. The money to meet these
salaries was in bank, with the excep
tion of a small portion, for which
arrangement had been made. The
men had the absolute guarantee of
the league that their salaries would
be in hand on Tuesday morning. In
order to go to Allentown they should
have taken a 9 o'clock train from
Lancaster. At 8:30 a. m.. before the
hanks had opened or it was possible
to secure funds, they announced that
they would not go to Allentown unless
the money was immediately in hand.
"Manager Hooper phoned me to
Philadelphia. I told him to assure
the men that the money would be
waiting for them in Allentown to
morrow, but if they declined to report
for the scheduled game they would
make themselves liable to a penalty
of suspension for the rest of the sea
son and a fine to cover the money
due them to date.
"This statement, made by Messrs.
Douglas and Hooper to the men.
caused about half of the team to
agree to go, but ~ Messrs. Milliman.
Lidgate, Swayne, Dundon. Doty and
Owens held out, consequently, Allen
town was left without a scheduled
game and there was nothing to do but
impose discipline on the offenders.
"The places of the suspended men
will be filled by active, competent
players, of whom a number have been
offered from various sources, and Lan
caster will meet Allentown and play
the remainder of its schedule with a
strong team."
Faltz's Ultimatum
in Strike Issue

David L. Fultz, of the Baseball

JOHiY FOX BLOWS;
TRENTON INS GAME
Cockill's Crew Iced the Game;
But It Melted
Away
Special to The Telegraph
Trenton, N. J., July 21.—Just at a
time when the game was on ice and
Harrisburg certain of victory Johnny
Fox had a blow-up and lost his game,
score 7 to 6. With Allentown not
playing, and but ten points away from
Harrisburg, this defeat came at a
wrong time for the Cockill crew.
Trenton had an up-hill battle and
things came their way in the seventh
when the Tigers annexed three runs.
I'ntil one man was out in the fifth the
Tigers failed to see the light of day at
first base. The locals overcame a five
run lead. They continued persistently
and finally drove Fox to cover in the
einhth. Before Adams retired a man
the Bengals had batted out a victory.
Sensational catches by Cruikshank,
Johnson and Ke.ves featured, while
Hammond did some nifty work on the
infield. Miller's hitting was also note
worthy.
The Tigers took the lead in the
eighth, driving Fox from the hill.
Hammond singled and scored on Po
land's three-bagged. Johnson's sacri
fice fly scored Poland.
Crist's double and Cockill's single
gpve the senators one in the ninth,
tying the score. Trenton made a great
finish. Lee led off with another double,
went to third when Maurer laid down
a hunt and scored on a single by
Smith. The score:

Ban Johnson Favors War;
Warns Players to Go Slow
American League Magnates to a Unit For the Suspension
of All Players Who Go Out on Strike
Special to The Telegraph
New York. July 21.—President Ban
B. Johnson wants a war. He gave out
the following statement yesterday:
"The club owners of the American
League are a unit in this matter. The
Kraft case does not affect the Amer-
I ican League. It is purely a National
j League matter and I cannot say any
thing regarding the case in particular.
It appears to me that in order to
satisfy the players' fraternity it would
be necessary to violate the National
agreement. That is something, how
ever. with which we are not concern
ed at this time.
"If the players of the various clubs
in the American League strike on
Wednesday it will be a direct vio
lation of their contract and I may
say in this regard that more than
70 per cent, of our players are signed
for two or three years. If they walk
out we will close every one of our
parks and not reopen until such time
as we have convinced the ball play-
Peter Steven's Wins
Grand Circuit Purse
Special tn The Telegraph
Cleveland, Ohio, July 21. Peter
Stevens won the $3,000 pacing purse,
the Edwards, yesterday at the open
ing of the grand circuit races at North
Bandall.
Peter Stevens won in straight heats,
the only close contest being in the first
heat, when Little Bernice got out in
front and led nearly all the way. Just
before the wire, however. Little Ber

easily, in 2.05%.
Oniar won the first heat of the 2.07
trot in 2.08 >,4, outbrushing Grand
Marshal and Newzel, the latter the
favorite, in the stretch. Grand Mar
shal won the second and third heats
and the race, however.
Belvin captured the 2.24 class trot
ting event in there straight heats. The
race was for the best three heats in

all the way in the first heat, as in the
second and third.
Farmer Spears was also a straight
heat winner in the last event, the 2.11
trotting class. He never was headed.
About 5,000 persons saw the open

and nothing occurred to mar the day's
sport.

"If they violate their contracts they
will be heavily fined and their status
as players fixed for all time in the
future before they are permitted to
re-enter the parks as our players.
We have consented to many demands
made by th 4 players' fraternity but
this is the finish. If the federation
calls out our players on a strike it
is war to the finish between the
American League and this players'
organization.
"This action is taken without any
conference or discussion with the
National League. I do not know
what their plans are. I only know
that the federation has ordered our
players to strike unless another or
ganization agreed to demands which
in no way interest or affect us. If
the proposed action goes through the
American League is in the fight to
stay. Every club owner will explain
his position to his players and I am
