Special Meeting to Consider Protest Over McGraw Suspension
New York June 17 a special meeting of the National League board of directors will convene in New York to review the protest filed by the New York club against Manager McGraws suspension by President Tener and the subsequent verbal attack alleged by McGraw on the league executive. The $500 fine and 16 day ban are among the heaviest penalties in modern pro baseball. The dispute stems from the Cincinnati fist fight with umpire Byron on June, triggering national debate and protests from New York officials. Only two prior National League episodes of similar magnitude are noted, the 1877 expulsion of Devlin Il Nichols and Craver for throwing games, and the 1912 removal of Horace Fogel for criticizing the game and alleging club discrimination.
