League and hie associate, Garry on the ational Commission, fmolined to drop the McGraw that his team did not play t best against Brooklyn yesterday in that peanant race deciding game, Nis condemnation of MoGraw's action. “Personally,” he said, “I think it ‘was an outrage, and had it occurred in the American League there would have been the devil te pay.” “Will the Commission tnke the matter up?” he was asked. “That is a matter for the National League to settle. If they are not bi enough to handle it they should g ‘out of business,” replied Johnson. Garry Herrmann was seen in his room at the Waldorf, but had noth- ing to day’ gay in connection with yester- '@ game in Brooklyn, “This ta he first I had heard of the incident,” he said. “At first I though: ‘was a joke.” “De you still consider it a joke?” “No; I believe now it was a fool ” He declined to say whether the Na- tional Commission, of which he is chairman, would act. President Tener was early on the job to-day with a statement that nothing would be done in the matter of the Giants’ manager quitting the Brooklyn field. “I have not talked with Manager McGraw, Secretary Foster or any other members of the New York team regarding the stories that the Giants deliberately laid down to Brooklyn,” ald President Tener. “MeGrew's action means simply that the wild Irish in him rose to the top when he thought his players were not doing their best. “Personally I belleve every man on the New York team was fighting tooth and oail to win.” MoGraw could not be found to-day. It ts believed he has left town to at- tend the race meeting at Laurel. He hae gaid he was through leading the Giants for the rest of the season. In baseball circles throughout the elty to-day it was believed that Mc- Graw had been so used to see his team win recently that his temper got the better of him when his Giants wére outclassed by the new| league champions, McGraw's actions, which caused so much smoke and so little fire, jgnals and fooling around. The Giants manager made this statement: aimply would not stand for the) kind of baseball the team was play- ing. I do not belleve that any of my players deliberately favored Brook lyn, but they simply refused to obey my orders and fooled around in a listless manner. “When Perritt wound up with a man on first, allowing the man tc steal second, I lost my patience anc left the bench.

It 1s the opinion of labor leaders to whom a reporter for The Evening World spoke to-day that the best thing Fitzgerald, Frayne and others can do for the labor cause generally is to “make the best kind of a settlement they can right away and wet their men back to work." Samuel Gompers ts still in town and still “mum.” It is understood he In thoroughly convinced the car strike should be settled as speedily as possl- ble.
