Manager Rurdook Suspended.
Manager and Captain Burdock was
suspended yesterday by the directors of
the Jersey City Club. This step was sug-
erratic conduct of Burdock. who, it was
believed, vas at his old tricks
which have cost him sew
eral lucrative places. The fact
that he had heen injured restrained
the clubs officers from acting earlier,
but when It became palpable that they
could not depend IN the unreliable man
ager, they decided to dispense with his
services. Rurdock is a splendid ball
player and an able manager, but he can
not control his appetite for strong drink.
