NOT WORTH A DOLLAR That is' the Valuation Hermann Put on the Baltimore Feds When Peace Was Signed. Philadelphia, June 15.—Much of yesterday’'s session of the United States district court, where the $900,- 000 antitrust suit of the Baltimore Federal league club against organized baseball is being tried, was taken up with the hearing of testimony as to the value of the Baltimore club as a business proposition at the time the Federal league went out of existence. August Hermann, of the Cincinnati National league club,' declared that “the value of a franchise of a Balti- club in the Federal league” at the time the peace agreement was made in December, 1915, was not worth a dollar. On cross-examination ~ counsel for the Baltimore club wanted to know why, if the Federal league was dead, organized baseball agreed to pay un- der the peace agreement large sums of money to a corpse. Counsel men- tioned the $400,000 to be paid to the ‘Wards of Brooklyn; $50,000 to the Pittsburgh Federals and other sums organized baseball agreed to pay Fed- eral league representatives. Mr. Hermann replied that organized baseball entered this agreement -in PHILLIFS Wl'l'H TlMl-‘.LY HH—BRAVESLOSEINW!NDY Cl'l'Y—GROOH smg AND SUSPENSION—SPORT WRITERS DIVIDE OPINIONS ON FIGHT RESULTS //////WW How MAVY M EVERYBODY | BUYING A LIBERTY OF COURSE Toorw Six D BonD - GET SomM NNHY CERTNLY HE HE AW/// s % % LETS onN DoESN’ T HEAR A WORD ey ROWLAND, WHITE SOX MANGER, CONFIDENT OF WINNING PENNANT order to restore public confidence and. also to restore discipline among the playérs.

The defense closed its case at the marning session after calling witnesses to testify regarding the cost and size of various baseball grounds. ) For the defense President Tener of the National league and Mr. Hermann testified to members of the Baltimore clup attending a meeting of repre- sentatives of the major leagues in New York in December, 1915, at which the Baltimoreans asked for a major league franchise. Mr. Tener said the Baltimore representatives told him they were prepared to pay $250,000 for a franchise in either of the bi( leagues.

McGRAW IS SORE Giants’ Manager Gives His Views of His Suspension and Fine—Claims He Was Grossly Insulted by Byron. New York, June 15.—Notification of the penalty imposed upon him for his part in the flght with Umpire Byron in Cincinnati last week caused John McGraw to give vent freely to his feelings in the matter and his re- marks on the decision of President John K. Tener included a denuncia- tion of that official. “This is outrageous,' declared the irate manager of the Giants late last night. “I struck Byren only as a last resort in defense of my rights and in resentment of an insult, yet President Tener sees.fit to impose this penalty on me. A couple of years ago Charley Herzog, then managér of the Reds, got into a fight with. Umpire Rigler| on the fleld over a decision; yet”Her: zog was suspended .only a few dl.yi ¥ and had to pay but a small fine. “The circumstances in this were far more extenuating. publicly insulted by Byron and took the means which any other man would have taken to avenge that .in- sult. The fact that it was an umpire with whom I have had some disputes that uttered the insult has nothing to do with the matter. I would have taken the same actipn against any one elfe and that gaes for J. K. Tener to0. Had he said to me what Byron did' 1 would have punched him just ‘as readily. : .“The decision in my casé proves that the league is being run for Phil- adelphia and that Tener has to be told what to do every time it’s up to him to make a decleion.

He began the trouble by making an insulting insinuation about my char- acter ,and I have to be the goat.” It is known that the verdict came as a distinct surprise to McGraw so posed upon him is concerned. The far as the severity of the penalty (m-! other night he expressed the belletl that he thought at least he had a chance to get a favorable decision in a case Involving trouble with an umpire. McGraw was confident that serious attention would be given to the afidavits of the Cincinnatl fans which accompanied his statement to’ the league/ president, and Telt: sure that the testimony of the fans, to- gether with that of the members of the team who witnessed ' the affair, would cause President Tener to re; der a decfsion favoring him, BONHAG MAY APPEAL Athlete Ordered to Return Prize by Registration Committee May Bring Action iin His Own Defense. New York, June 15.—It' was .inti- mated by a high official of the Am: tuer Athletic Union yesterday that George V. Bonhag would appeal from the decision of the registration com- mittee of ‘the Metropolitan Assocla- tion, which disqualified him two days ago for competing for the New York Athletic club when not registered as a member of that organization. Bonhag committed his offense at the New York Athletic club games on June 2, at which he captured the one-mile walk. Incidentally, Bonhag covered the distance in 6:28 3-5, which proved better than the American rec ord for the distance. However, the legitimacy of his style of walking has caused such a discussion that it has not abated yet. George P. Mathews, the chairman of the committee, who did not vote on the disqualification, is' of the belief that the decision of his conferres was too drastic. Although the local office not received the appeal of Bonhag yester- day, it was pesitively said that the papers would be in the hands of Fred- erick W. Rubien, the president, to whom all appeals must be directed, within & few hours. OXMOOR Ammlflm :untmuqummmm ::mtodtupnndmk notice em. 3 the Joseph team has joined the "Tomorrow afternoon .the .
