GURNEY WILL PITCH

Detroit HurIer Sold BY Dubuque Club
Fer Which He Has Pitched
Good Ball In Three

Stuart Quincy of Detroit, one OF the
city's representatives in professional
league ball who will be remembered
locally as a twirler ror Central High
school and the Detroit Athletic club,
has received notice OF his sale by the
Dubuque club to Aberdeen In, the
Northwestern League. Gurney has
been endeavoring for some time 10
bring about a change and is very glec.
full over the prospect.
The team 10 which he goes is the
one from which Detroit secured Per.

on the local pitching stan i'm spite of
the prior presence there of Ed. Xii

Gurney has pitched good ball for
the Dubuque club for several seasons
but has not been favored with good
support either in the field or at the
bat. As a rule he has had TO shut out
his opponents TO Win.

BY ADDIE JOSS.

They used to pull of some funny
stunts in the old days OF the National
league. at the time that organization
, had as its chief executive Nick Young.
Nick was not so fortunate as the pres
ent-day president. Any time he rem
dered n decision that did not exactly
conform TO some individual club-oWn.
er's version OF the matter in question.
that gentleman usually started 10 show
the boss how little regard he had for
his edicts. by doing something that
would reflect on the Judgment dis.
played by the president. Young g
chief trouble lay in getting competent
umpires, who would render their de-
cisions fearlessly. II was an almost
everyday occurrence for an umpire.
after being assigned 10 a certain ser
les, to find. on reaching the park, that
orders had been left by the club
owner not to allow him in the en-
closure. This simply meant that some
local amateur would be rendering de
cisions on that day. and 1t can readily
be seen how much chance the oppos-
ing team would have TO cop the game.
Cincinnati and Cleveland were bitter
rivals in those days. and on one of the

fights over the presidency of base

the American Association magnates
gathered here for the annual meeting
OF the organization 20 be held tomor-
row.
The indications about the hotels OF
the magnates are that at least four
OF the eight club owners opposed the
retention OF Joseph O'Brien of Milwau.
kee as president The outlook Is for
long drawn out meeting as that
held recently by the National League
in New York. with O'Brien occupying
much the same position as John Heyd-
Ter did in that scrap.
The factions are divided along the
same old iines-the Tebeauites and
the anti-Te beauties. Tebeau favors
the election OF Tom ChivinSton OF
Louisville and is said to be backed by
Kansas City, Louisville. Toledo and
Indianapolis Minneapolis, St. Paul
and Milwaukee favor O'Brien while
Columbus remains ION the fence" and
is claimed by both factions.
The present internal row started
over the proposition made year ago
that the American Association invade
Chicago and other major league cities.
About half the club owners are said
TO favor the invasion and the whole
matter may be "thrashed out at
tomorrow's meeting. The meeting
will also decide whether To play a
I54-game or 16S-game schedule.
