New York, Aug. 5. —The ease of [ Carl Mays, pitcher, whose suspen sion by President Johnson, after Mays had been traded by the Boston club to the New York Yankees, bids fair to result in one of the bitterest wars of organized baseball, will not be settled by the American League j club owners. President Johnson, who came to New York to preside at a meeting of the league called for to-day, announced that the special meeting would not be held. The owners of the Yankees, Colonel Jacob Ruppert, and Lieutenant Col onel T. L. Huston, told Johnson that they would not attend such a meet ing and last night Colonel Huston stated he believed that President Johnson was interested in the Cleveland club, adding that "until this carbuncle is removed there can be no health in our league." Harry Sparrow, business manager of the club, said that legal machin ery has been put in motion to pro tect the club's rights. The prelim inary move is expected to be in the form of an application for an in junction against Johnson to prevent him from interfering with the New York club's property rights to Pitcher Mays. Punishment Severe The owners of the Yankees, it is j said, feel that the disciplinary uc- ] tion in Mays' case was especially i severe, and cite the case of Ty Cobb in 1912, when the Detroit club players went on a strike because of Cobb's suspension. Cobb's oiCenjo was assaulting a spectator and Mayb' that of throwing a baseball at a "rooter." The Cobb case was cleared up in two weeks, Cobb geting off with a ten days' suspension and a fine of ?50. In reinstating Cobb, Johnso.i declared full protection would be afforded to American League play ers against abuse or attack from spectators. Mays, it is said, feels that such protection was not af forded him and that he has a just grievance. H. H. Frazee, president of the Boston Red Sox, is here to day to present his side of the trade in which Mays became the property of the New York club.

Reading 17 7 .708 Galahad 15 8 .652 Rosewood 11 14 .440 St. Mary's 6 20 .231 To-night—Galahad vs. Reading Umpire—"Dick" Nebinger. After the score had been tied sev eral times in an Allison Hill baseball game last evening. St. Mary's finally broke the Gordian knot and emerged a winner by an 8 to 7 score, in a contest that went an extra inning. When the seven innings had been played, the score was tied. Then Rosewood came to bat. and with the assistance of pinch hitter Mell, two runners were driven over the platter. The game looked iced for Rosewood, but St. Mary's still had a chance at bat. Zerance Scores "Rabbit" Zerance drove out his third bingle and stole second. Then Catcher Kirby drove out a double and "Rab bit" hopped over the plate. Sam Cooks sent Kirby to third with a field er's choice to the third baseman. Rea gan tied the score when he drove a slashing single to center field. It was up to Mike Sostar, and Mike surely soused 'er. Mike was given credit for just a single for that was all that was needed to win the game, but the hit was a deep one and would have gone | for extra bases had not the game been over with the rap. It was an exciting , finish, and whetted Jthe appetite of the | fans for the big battle to-night between i Reading and Galahad in a contest that will decide the championship of the Hill. And as all ardent Hill rooters believe, winning the Hill championship is just a step nearer to the city honors. Keagan Groat Stealer Reagan proved his right to join All Baba and his troupe by stealing four bases, a record for the Hill league. | Catcher Kirby has developed the knack of doubling in every game he plays, and was credited with three doubles. He has Ringling's contortionist beaten a mile. Kirby has advised members ] of the Junior Hill league to dilate the ] alimentary canal with green apples be- I fore a ball game if you want to do | any doubling. Kight two-baggers were ] knocked out during the contest. j Both teams were credited with a round dozen of hits. St. Mary's ex celled in two baggers, while the losers went ahead in three-base hits. To-night Galahad and Reading play the most important contest of the year. Both teams v.ll have out their best talent, for the result will go a long way toward determining' the league victors, as but five more games remain on the list. The two nines will spring some surprises when It comes to batteries for the evening. The score: ST. MARY'S C. C. AB. R. H. O. A. E.

Motive Power, the runners up in the league, lost both games. The first was a 4 to 2 victory. The unfinished score wound up 3 to 1. Fans, estimated at 5,000, had a big run for their contribution. Strieker's work was of the classy order. Five hits were scored by the M. P.'s, and nine men fanned. Ram ford, the opposing mound artist, was also in form and after the third in ning, during which all damage was done, he had speed and curves. West End was in a fast fielding mood and there were sensational plays. Two errors by Motive Power were a part of the West End runs. Rooters Were Busy The extra play to decide the pro tested game brought the Motive Power rooters to the front, but it was West End night. After play was called by Umpire Shickley, Rrown was placed on first base; Mc- Curdy on third and Stewart at bat. Strieker was on the mound for the league leaders and the first ball he pitched to Stewart, the latter hit into the air and it was caught by "Bill" Eukier, West End's short- Dives, Pomeroy &_> Stewart Special Selling of Men's and Young Men's New $15.00 to $20.00 Palm Beach Suits at $11.75 A fortunate pickup of several groups of fine Palm Beach Suits puts our stock in shipshape again for supplying many regular customers who depend upon us for cool clothes for August sultry weather. i In looking around for these Palm Beach Suits we had a certain standard of tailoring to measure up to.
