McGANS STAYED BEHIND.
He Did Not Get Away With the Team
Last Night.

Mystery has again settled over the ST.
Louis Baseball Club, and this time 1t is
Dan McGann who stands in the darkest
part of the shadow. McGann failed to show
up at League Park for the game with the
Cincinnatis yesterday and last night loafed
around his hotel while the other members
of the team were vending their way toward
Union Station. The team left for Brooklyn
at o'clock minus McGann. Strangely
enough. nobody seems to know Just why
McGann didn't play Yesterday, and Dan
himself gives no satisfactory excuse, and
thereby hangs q tale.
Manager Donovan was taken unawares at
McGann's failure to appear at the park yes
terday. At the last moment Donovan an
nounced that Schriver would play in place
of McGann and stated that he had received
no word of any kind from McGann and
knew nothing of his whereabouts. In the
hurry of getting down to the train last
night. Manager Donovan was too busy to
look further into the matter and none of
the team excepting Powell. who lives at the
same hotel, saw McGann.
Although McGann or other members of
the team will not discuss It. trouble seems
TO have cropped out again among the Car
6inals. One OF the players limited that all
was not well between McGann and the
left the hearer to draw his own conclusions
as to McGann's failure to play yesterday.
Manager Donovan and Business Manager
Heilbronner profess ignorance of motive
for McGann's action.
McGaEn himself was loath to discuss the
incident. but finally made the statement
that he was thinking seriously of quitting
the game for the remainder of the season
at least.
