NEW YORK STATE LEAGUE TO KEEP GOING WITH LESS CLUBS—ALL SALARIES CUT
M'GRAW GAME
ENDS IN TIE
Giant Leader Continues to
Deny Giving Interview; Next
Inning July 13
New York, July J. Mc-
Graw, manager of the New Tork
baseball club, still adheres to his
"statement of repudiation" in which
he denied that he gave to certain
newspaper men traveling with the
Giants an interview reflecting upon
the president of the National League,
the organization itself and certain
clubs of the league. Such was Mc-
Graw's testimony yesterday In the
meeting called by the league at the
request of the New Tork Baseball
Writers' Association for the purpose
of reopening the case to the end that
the writers involved might offer evi
dence in their defense.
On the other hand, Sid Mercer,
the newspaper representative who Is
said to have got the alleged interview
from McG -aw, testified that such in
terview in substance was given him
by the New York manager, and that
he in turn retold the substance of
it to the ether three scribes, who
sent It to their papers. Thus the is
sue was squarely Joined between
Mercer and McGraw. The former
said that McGraw did and the latter
avers that he did not. These two men
were the principal figures in yester
day's meeting, which was attended
by about fifty representatives of the
pess. out-of-town baseball writers
as well as those from this city and
Brooklyn beirtg present.
Attorney Presides
John Conway Toole, a New York
attorney, and former official of the
Boston National League club under
the Gaffney ownership, was chair
man of the meeting. The writers
■were represented by ex-Congress
man Martin W. Littleton, while John
M. Ward, thq old ballplayer, acted
as counsel for McGraw. The Nation
al League's representative was Sam
uel M. Clement. Jr., of Philadelphia,
while C. T. Sullivan acted in the same
capacity for the New York Club. All
the lawyers took part in the proceed
ings.
While McGraw and Mercer were
the star witnesses, Safn Crane, for
the New York Evening Journal:
James P. Sinnott, for the New York
Mail, and Frank Graham, for the i
Evening Sun, all corroborated the'
statements made by Mr. Mercer, j
that the interview was by McGraw,
and each one also said that subse-1
quently he had gone to McGraw and
that the latter had asserted that the
interview as given to Mercer was in
substance correct. McGraw was the
only witness in his behalf, but affi
davits were submitted by his attor
ney for two Pittsburgh men, tend
ing to show what McGraw said to
Mr. Mercer. These affidavits were ad
mitted in evidence, but Mr. Little
ton. of counsel for the writers, con
tended that he was entitled to iross
question these two witnesses. This
was admitted by Chairman Toole
and finally It was agreed that the
meeting should adjourn until July
13, when the two witnesses will ap
pear before another session of the
league.
CHESTER CANS DOOIN
Chester. Pa., July 7. Charles
Dooin. former Phillie catcher and
manager, has been released by the
Chester club, of the Delaware County
League. Dooin caught the majority
of the games for Manager Poth s
team in the first half of the champion- 1
ship season and helped the locals win '
the pennan'. but he failed to hit. Hit
batting average was only .045.

Tyrus Cobb s record of hitting in S5 consecutive games was broken
yesterday, but that of Charles Clifford Oravath. of the Phillies, was not.
The rugged outfielder cracked out a single fn the ninth inning of yester
day's fray with the Pirates and boosted his mark of 19 straight box
scores in which he has hit consecutively. Cravath visited the plate four
times without getting his bingle. but he was saved in the ninth, and
there was nothing fluky about the drive, which shot into center field on
a line. .

BILLY HINCHMAN
FRACTURES LEG
Philadelphia, July 7.—ln trying
| to score from second on a squeeze
| play In the ninth inning of yester
i day's game Billy Hinchman. left
; fielder of the Pirates, fractured his
left leg just below the knee,
j He was carried off the field and
I taken to the Women's Homeopathic
i Hospital. He was accompanied to
; the hospital by his wife and two
! small children, who were present at
! the tfame and saw the accident.
• In the ninth inning the bases were
! filled. Wagner was on third and
j Hinchman on second. Pitler was at
| the bat. He bunted, the ball hitting
the plate and bounched high Into
; the air. Wagner dashed home from
! third, and Catcher Adams had a
close play to make at first to get
j Pitler. Hinchman rounded third,
and seeing the play being made at
1 first rushed for the plate. Luderus
returned the ball to Adams, who
blocked Hinchman off, and there
was a grand spill at the plate,
Hinchman was unable to arise and
was carried off the field.
Native of Philadelphia
William W. Hinchman is a Phila
delphian, having been born at Wis
sahickon thirty-four years ago. He
is the third National League player
to break a leg this year. "Vic" Saier,
of Chicago, was the first early in the
season. Catcher Lew McCarty, of
the Glant3, a little later broke one
of his legs In a game at Cincinnati.
Hinchman and his brother Harry
played ball for the Roxborough and
Wissahickon teams. Billy's first pro
fessional engagement was with the
lllion team, of the New York State
League, In 1303-4. The following
year he was with the Cincinnati
team, but later in the season he
joined the Willlamsport team, of the
then famous Trl-State League.
In 1906 Hinchman was again with
Cincinnati, but early in the season
he was traded to Boston for Frazer.
He was a Boston player for only two
days, as he was sent to Columbus.
In September of that year the Cleve
land Club bought him from Colum
bus. He played with Cleveland until
1909, when he again went to Colum
bus and remained tljere, going to
Pittsburgh by the draft route In
1915. The last two years he was
with Columbus, 1913-14, he was the
team manager. Hlnchman's home is
at East Willlamsport. Pa.

OI K VXCLE SAMUEL
He rarely starts oft at top speed;
In ftict his legs are often tangled;
And there are other tlmos, Indeed.
When everything he does Is Jangled;
But though he flounders out the slope
With awkwardness that won't diminish,
You'll find, on looking up the dope.
They rarely hook him at the finish.
I'neven? Tes, as any rhyme,
And although moving on, intently.
He seems to waste a lot of time.
And does —to break It more than gently:
An.d though at times, through awkward fits.
He seems to have no thought of winning.
He has a knack of bunching lilts
Before they reach the final inning.
A queer old duck, our Uncle Sam,
Now busily pot-hunting Junkers;
For form he doesn't give a whoop.
So long as he can clear the hunkers;
His style may be a trifle rough,
And though he seems to move by inches.
The old boy's got a lotta stuff
9 When he Is called on In the pinches.
The old five-yard slogan of the football field —"Hold 'em—hold >m"—
may come in handy in this war. Only Germany to-day seems to be con
tent to kick on the first down.

THE JULY COUNT
On the 11th of April there were sixteen ball clubs in the two major
league races. ,
On the Fourth of July, a trifle less than three mon.ths later, ten of
these clubs have already faded out, with two more lagging.
Of the sixteen only lour can be classed as head-on pennant contenders
—White Sox and Red Sox In the American, Giants and Phillies in the Na
tional.
The Yankees an.d Tigers are not yet hopclessl;- gone, but their outlook
isn't as vermillion as it might be. It is at least bordering on a certainty
that two of the four clubs mentioned above will entertain world series
delegates this l'all and collect tiie annual disbursement of post-season
kale.
WHAT'S SO RARE AS A COBB IN JUNE?
During the festive month of June Ty Cobb was at bat 101 times, pro
ducing thereby 47 hits, for a grand Jun.e average of .466.
So far as we can unearth the depressing statistics, this Is the best
month's record in a decade. To travel for a solid or liquid month at a
.468 pace is a trifle more than abnormal. It was Cobb's answer to the
charge that he was slipping and that Speaker had him hooked again.
THE ETERNAL AND THE IRREPRESSIBLE
Back last February Honus Wagner indulged in his forty-third birthday.
A trifle later on he was married and announced his official retirement
from the game. This time, apparently, he meant it. Why not—going on
forty-four?
Then, without any preliminary warning, he suddenly popped back Into
the game again. And with the first batch of averages announced em
bracing his name we find him firmly attached to a batting average of .342
• —firmly wedged in among the leading group.
Old Doc Time, apparently, has given him up long ago as a hopeless
case.
WHADDYA MEAN—WEST ?
It is reported that neither Chick Evans nor Bob Gardner, both of Chi
cago will start in lh* Western Amateur championship next week.
With these two jut, two of the leading entries will be Francis Oufmet
and Bobby Jones.
A Western, championship that might oome to a grapple between Massa
chusetts and Georgie—well, it's a funny world since this war broke out.
In the last three years Ray Caldwell has tossed overboard something
like SB,OOO in fines and salary deficits. The hop on his fast one is still
there—plenty of speed but no control.
Any number of books have been written upon the Art of Putting,
which, when, thoroughly condensed, amount simply to this—Get the line
and hit the ball. If you do this you can putt. If you d*n't, you can't.
The more stars you lift from the Red Sox the harder they are to over
throw. Whatever happens, the habit seems to carry them along.
CHECK COBB'S
HITTING MARK
Detroit, July 7.—Faber and Scott
were the pitchers who stopped Cobb
here yesterday. The former has al
ways been a difficult proposition for
the Detroit star to solve. He re
cently held Cobb hitless until the
Georgian came to bat for the last
time. Then Ty beat out a bunt. Fa
ber, during- his majo. league career,
has held Cobb to a batting average
of less than .253. The late Addie
Joss was the only pitcher who has

WELLY'S GORNER
Baseball fans on the New York
State League circuit must hand it to
President J. H. Farrell. He' never
gives up. His plan to keep the league
going with less clubs and a cut In
salaries looks like a winner. How
ever, it remains to be shown what
grade of baseball will be furnished.
Players are a queer lot.
If Reading franchise goes back to
Albany there will be a howl from
the fans In the City of Reading.
While the patronage has not been
large, the attendance has been as
good as that in other towns.
With minor leagues dropping out,
and a scarcity of ball players to
farm out for future major Jobs, a
rejuvenation of the game will be
necessary after the war. It would be
a good time to start an outlaw league
llko the old Trl-State.
Rosewood's resignation as a mem
ber of the Allison Hill Leaguo was
accepted last night, and the Hiclt-A-
Thrlfts admitted. The newcomers
will take the standing of Rosewood,
according to reports. The Allison
Hill organization is a good one, and
It would be a big disappointment
should the game be discontinued.
Not many leagues can boast of
having legislators on any of its
teams, but the D-P can. Newport

Perry county, in its line-up on Wed-
