Jack Warner, recently released by Louis
vile and signed by New York, is reliable
backstop and fair hitter, but he seems to
always imagine that he has a grievance.
So says the Boston Herald, and therein lies
the secret OF his unexpected release from

Judge Sparks, before whom Umpire LaIly
and Player Clarke were arraigned, after
the testimony said: at seems to me you
ought to he able to play game of ball with
out trouble. Lally certainly had the right
to call Clarke out If lie felt that was the
case-tbere is no question about that. do
not find that Lally did anything wrong.
Therefore his case is dismissed. While
Clarke did not pursue the proper course, his
case is dismissed, with warning that it

receive about $40 a minute for the actual
service he has rendered his club this sea-

McMalon drew salary from the Baltimore
club for the better part Of two seasons
without earning q dollar. Hanlon did
not grumble, nor did he try to hurry the 4

figured that the Investment was q good
one and the result showed that he was
right, for McMahon's pitching was a great 4
factor in the Orioles success last year.
Surely Maui, when in condition, is as
valuable to the Senators as McMahon is
to the Orioles and the Washington clubs
