Local Man Now Breaking in His
Successor--Kelly Has Row
With His Boss.

Secretary Frank J. McTague today
rendered his resignation to Joe Nc
Ginnity, of the Newark club, to take
effect in about a month. Meanwhile
Charley Mathison, a former newspa-
perman, is being broken in and ac-
quainted with the inside affairs of the
Newark club. McTague will remain
with the club long enough to teach his
successor his daily tasks.
McTague wanted to resign more than
a month ago., but the Iron Man would
not consider his resignation, The local
man was dissatisfied with his position
and found McGinnity a hard boss to
please, especially when things were
breaking badly.
The argument on the boat at Provi-
dence, when McGinnity dismissed Nc
Tague and Frank readily left, only to
return when McGinnity begged him to
do so, but added fuel to the ~smoldering
fire and the announcement of Nc
Tague's resignation was made this
morning.
McTague took UP the position of sec
on January 3 last, succeeding
Thomas Martin, who went to Buffalo
to fill the position as secretary and
business manager.

siderate since things have beer break

SECRETARY M'TAGUE RESIGNS HIS JOB
WITH The NEWARK BASEBALL CLUB

spit out his. spite on McTague. This
finally resigned.
Johnny Kelly, the Tiger leftielder,
is not on the best terms with Joe Nc
Ginnity at present, according to a re-
liable authority. In Wednesdays game
which the Newark manager pitched,
the Iron man. went into the box in
the ninth and served up a ball to Breen
which the Skeeter hit to left. The out
fieiders, including Kelly, were not yet
in their positions, and the hit. which
was a long one, went for three bases.
The next three men were retired. but
McGinnity accused Kelly of Sinking"
when Jack anne in, and a verbal argu-
ment resulted, in which Kelly truth
fully stated that he had won more
games for Newark than McGinnity ever
did, and resented the call.
Kelly was just hitting his stride, and
has been getting in two and three hits
every game, driving in more run than
IN other player on the team, In fact,
he was one of the members of the team
who hit in the pinches and is rally
the most valuable batsman on the team
for this reason, ever though other play
ers have much bigger looking averages.
Kelly did not allow his anger to pre-
vent him from playing a good game
yesterday, when he drove in two runs
with two hits, and scored another,
being responsible for three of Newark's
four runs. but such feeling between
managers and players is scarcely con-
ducive to success in running a base
ball team.
