O'Hearn to Decatur.

President NJ. H. Sexton reinstatcd
Manager Jack Tighe last evening af-
ter he was fully convinced that the
Islander chief had suffered enough
for his alleged misdeeds. Tighe man
fully admitted to the president that
he had said things that he ought not
to have said and that he had lost his
temper because he felt he was not
getting what he had coming to his
team. Jack and the directors of the
club promised that the manager
would hold his temper in better
check in the future and accordingly
the suspension was lifted.
Yesterday Tighe was compelled to
sit on the bench at the club house
withOuht uniform on, and his ab-
sence was sorely felt by his team,
and by practically every one at the
game. 1t is hoped that his return
will mean that the ginger and pep
displayed by the Islanders at the be-
ginning of the season and which
seemed entirely lacking in the last
two games will again be in evidence
Manager Tighe expects to use Frank
Lakaff against the Senators in hopes
of taking a crimp in them this after
noon.

was SO small that she slipped through
