TENDERS HIS
RESIGNATION
AS Leader of the Marion
Team.
MANAGER FERD DRUMM
Sewers His Connection With
Lime Burners.
----
During the Entire Season Drumm
Gsve Local Club His Best Efforts
Not Appreciated.
MANAGER FERD DRUMM

Ferd Drumm, the scrappy leader OF
the Lime Burners, rendered his resig-
nation to the directors of the local
p. club yesterday the resignation
to take effect next Saturday when the
club will return here for long series
lat home.
The action of Drumm was caused
by the great amount of knocking that
has been going on for some time
Many of the fans were dissatisfied be-
cause the club did not win consist
emily and as was natural the pan-
lager was blamed for it all.
Ferd' has had hard time of 1t this
year. He routed out a number of al
legged stars on the club and built up
practically a new ball team. The fact
that the club after getting bad
start won ten of the first fourteen
lgames showed the ealiber of the men
he secured to represent Marion. After
the fourteenth game the injury man
got busy. Tim Flood was the first to
drop out with broken nose. Then
Farrell, Tate. Lindemann, Luskey and
practically every man on the club has
been out. In many games three and
four were out on account of injuries.
At one time five were on the bench
and semi-professionals and pitchers
filled the holes as best they could
Even after the club got the majority
of the men back things were break
ing very bad for them. They were
outhitting their opponents but hits
would not come at the right time.
Drumm shifted about got new men
who are stars, whipped his club
around but still they could not win.
Luck has ben against them day after
Luck has been against them day after
rest.

AS a leader. general or in fact
in any department of the game there
is not manager in the O,-P league
that has anything on Drumm. He is
lighting TO win all of the time and
with any fair amount of luck he
would have finished with his club up
among the leaders. II is probable
that Drumm will be picked up for the
remainder of this season, although he
states that he will not get into base
ball until next year.
Drumm was not treated right i'm
Marion nor given the credit for what
he did for the club. lie managed the
club economically and with as good
Judgment as any business man might
look after his own interest He Sc
cured a bunch of great ball players
such as Fox. Blough, Daubert. Tate,
Farrell Lindemann Dithridge, Luskey
land Smith without costing the club
penny Every player on the club
believes in Ferd Drumm and would
do anything possible for him
The management of the club did not
treat the leauef talrly. Last year
he did not want to return to Marion
He told the directors that he could
not play any more on account of his
eye sight and he did not believe that
they could afford a bench manager
here. The directors insisted that he
return. Al that time Drumm had an
oHer to manage another club at sal
ary of $4OO per month. He showed
his spirit when at the urgent re-
quest Of the local men he came here
at salary of $3.50 less per month
And now the directors listen to the
knocking and let the manager 20
There have even been claims thai
Drumm has sold out games but such
are so absurd in the face tha
lDrumm's reputation for honesty and
Integrity that to deny them is use
less
Drumm will go, but the action will
be regretted and before the present
season has drawn to close.
As yet the management OF the clul
has not appointed anyone 10 nj
Drumm's shoes No appointment vii
be made under Drumm's direction.

II was by the greatest Of fortune
that he visitors got away with the
first contest Link was hit hard and
often but luck seemed TO be against
the Lime Burners. The locals also
INDUCED in some porky work at times.
Al Wilmot was touched up in several
innings but in others he was ilvinc-
ible His support was poor to say the
least
In the second inning, bings by
Murray, Winters and Berryhill scored
the FIRST run OF the game Abbott
singled in the second but Wilmot re-
tired the side in order holding the
fast fielder on the amen corner.
From that time until the seventh
the visitors were held easily by Little
Eva and not safe one was secured.
I'm the fatal seventh Quinn misiudged
Smiths long fly, the slam going for
a double. Winters hit to Mylett but
Daubcrt forgot TO cover first and the
runner was safe. Berryhill put mp a
fly to Farrell who made perfect
throw home turning Smith back hut
BILLY Smith let the ball get away

THE SECOND GAME

Doctor Blough, the side wheeler.
won his first game since joining the
Lime Burners applying the white
wash to the pennant striving Molders.
The medic was invincible. Only two
hits both of which came in the
seventh, were secured off his delivery
Opposed to Blough, was McCor-
mick a new one hailing from some
place in Hoosierdom The lad was
touched up for twelve safeties, several
of which nearly knocked his block
OF so fast did the Lime Burners hand
them back to him.
Mylett started things by drawing a
pass and Quinn sacrificed Blake was
the right man i'm the right place ana
scored Thomas with sizzler along
the left field line. The Lime Burn
ers got another one in the next when
Daubert walked and Flood beat out
his bunt. Luskey sacrificed and Dau-
bert scored on Havels error. My
lett was caught taking second.
