· UMP SUSPENDED : Umpire Brian Runge was suspended for one game for bumping into Mets Manager Jerry Manuel before ejecting him earlier in the week.

Manuel and CF Carlos Beltrán also were fined by Major League Baseball for arguing with Runge in the fourth inning of the Mets' game against the Mariners on Tuesday.

· UP FOR SALE: The fan who says he caught the baseball that Ken Griffey Jr. hit for his milestone 600th home run plans to sell it at auction.

Joe Scherer says he decided to put the ball in the Aug. 1 auction after consulting with other people, including family and friends. Doug Allen, president of Mastro Auctions in suburban Chicago, thinks the ball will sell for at least $50,000, and as much as $100,000.

There is a potential obstacle to the auction. Another fan filed a lawsuit claiming the ball was ripped away from him during the June 9 game in Florida.
