(By United Press)
MEW YORK, Sept. 19. — In fining
lohn J. McOraw an additional $1,000
for allowing an attack on President
John K. Tener to be printed as coming
from him. the National league set a
precedent here that It will find to be
extiemely helpful to it in the future
By showing a backbone and a desire
to begin quashing all attacks on ad
ministration of the league, the direc
tors will find it much easier to curb
outbursts in future.
Tacked on to the bottom of the
lengthy statement in which the direc
tors answered the request of the New
York chapter of the Baseball Writers'
Association of America, was a warning
to managers and other employes of the
league that future occurrences in
which the head of the league or the
league is made the victim of an attack
suspension for the rest of the season
will be a minimum punishment. There
Is at least one manager in the Nation
al league, and several players who
never have had any hesitancy in show
ing some contempt for the way things
have been done in the league. They
doubtless will be curbed.
It has been customary for baseball
followers in the east to poke some fun
at the National league, calling it
grandmother and other similar names.
They have been accustomed to point
ing to the American league us the
virile, czarlike exponent of capital
punishment in the baseball world. The
staggering punishment meted out to
McGraw, however, is direct proof that
the last days of President Tener in
the older circuit are going to be flav
ored with some distinctly czarlike ac
tions. The edict absolved the baseball
writers from any blame In connection
with the episode that first resulted in
i meeting of the directors ant win
amounted to a formal apology fion
McGraw. He declared he did not mak
iny such statements as those attribu'
-d to him, and left tho writers to hold
the sack.
The incident was reopened at the
request of the writers, and while 'the
last decision admits it was not proven
McGraw actually attacked the presl
lent with the words attributed to him,
he was fined and reprimanded for
having allowed the Interview to be
printed when it would havo been easy
for him to suppress it.
WELL KNOWN ALASKAN
DIES IN TEXAS TOWN.
Judge Robert D. Grey, former re
ceiver of the oil fields and railroad
property at Katalla. and a member of
he first territorial legislature in 1912,
lied at the home of his brother in
Texas, according to word received
here on a recent boat. Judge Grey
bad been failing for some time before
leaving here, and went south in an
endeavor to regain his health. The
news of his death will be a great
shock to his many friends.

INDIANS MAY SUFFER
FOR FOOD THIS YEAR.
The Copper river Indians caught no
fish for their winter supply of food
this year, owing to gill nets -being
stretched by fishermen across the Cop
per river, which kept the fish from
running up the river. This will be a
great hardship on the tribes living
at the headwaters of the river, who
depend upon the fish for their win
ter's supply of food for themselves
and dogs, and local authorities fear
that a famine will prevail.

CLAIMS RIFLE IS
BETTER THAN
(By United Pres*)
LONDON, Sept. 21. — "Roma peo
ple," said the ser reant, "art bomb
doty. I've heard tell of rhapB at the
front coining away from n shell hole
because they used up all theP bombs,
(hough they hadn't fired a shot from
their rifles.
"And then there's people thinks
that nothing matters but artillery or
tanks or gas helmets or bayonets or
any old thing what they happen to
take a particular Interest in. Now, I
am not a blomin' specialist; rm a sol
dier; and I say the rifle is the first
and foremost weapon that the soldier
has to use.
"Bombs are all right — when they
hit the Huns, of course — but bombs
has their limits. Bombs Is heavy to
start orf with, and you have to be a
hell of n chap to hurl one with accu
racy more than sixty or seventy
yards. It ain't like that with a rifle.
A bullet ain't as heavy as a bomb, and
it goes a darn sight quicker. While
you are fooling about with a bomb you
can have a bullet in that Hun. and
what is more, let me tell you, the Hun
can't catch the bullet in his hand and
hurl It back at you, same as some of
them have done with bombs.
"When you hear anybody running
about saying as how the rifle lias been
superseded by bombs or some other
stunt like that, just you laugh. Of
course, If It's an officer that says it,
you needn’t l augh too ostentatious, but
laugh all the same. Sort of mentally,
see!”
