FIRST ROUND IN MGRAW CASE ENDS Muggsy Readily Admits He 0. K.’d Mercer’s Article York, July 7.—The case of the Baseball Writers’ Association of New York versus John J. McGraw and all concerned with the recent repudiation of the now famous Tener interview will not be conducted un- til next Friday. An adjournment was taken because of the absence of two witnesses—Dr. Frank H. Finley and Urban T. McAnerny, of Pittsburgh, whom McGraw and his attorney, John M. Ward, desired to have called. The first section of the case, which was opened at National League head- quarters yesterday morning, soon set- tled into a matter of veracity between Manager McGraw on the one side and Sid Mercer, Sam Crane, James P. Sinnott and Frank Graham, baseball writers, upon the other. There was an unusual amount of legal talent on hand. The Baseball Writers were represented by Martin W. Littleton, McGraw by John Mont- gomery Ward, the league by Samuel G. Clément, of Philadelphia. Among others present were John Conway Toole, who acted as chairman of the meeting, and Cornelius J. Sulllvan to represent the New York club. The matter, as it now stands, iIs a matter of veracity between McGraw on one side and Mercer, Crane, S8in- nott and Graham on the other—not only as to the original interview, but rd to the statement that Me- Graw claimed he was coerced. Mercer says that he got an inter- view from McGraw and that after- ward McGraw read and O. K.'d it. McGraw sayvs he didn't give any in- terview and that he didn't read it afterward. Mercer, Crane, Sinnott and Graham say that McGraw told them, in ef- fect, that he was forced to sign un- der pressure. McGraw admitted that no pressure was brought. In other words, as Bill Veeck, of “The Chicago American,” remarked, “McGraw and the National League branded newspaper writers as scurril- ous liars in order that a couple of directors could catch a train west. ‘What could be simpler?” New PIKE TO PITCH. “'Bill” Pike of Middletown, has been secured by the management of the Pioneers, to oppose the M.

Cap- tain Volo was the only favorite to 2.27 trot. The racing yesterday was not as ex- citing as on the other days of the meeting, but it was as good as the uverage. Wheeler Gentry, who hus won both of his other starts on the circuit, had things much his own way in the 2.27 trot and he always seemed frésh after winning easily. The Irish Voter, who was popular in the betting, worked poorly in the first heat and was a bad sixth. In the other two heats he came in second. but though he seemed to be working hard he did not stand a chance against the win- ner. times. He has stolen 20 bases.
