The trouble, which was not Of a per-
sonal nature but one strictly devoted
to question of baseball, came about
through a misunderstanding of the
manager and, captain as to what were
the duties of each. Manager Thompson
claimed that as manager he should
have control of the men, while on the
other hand captain Ross claimed that
at the time Of electing Thompson as
manager and he as captain, it had been
decided that the manager would only
be business manager, and that the cap
tain would be in full control of the
team After discussing the matter from
all sides and the advisability of hav-
ing this kind Of an arrangement the
players present elected Howard Fogg
as chairman Of the meeting and got
down to business to straighten out the
tangle. Both manager Thompson and
captain Ross rendered their resigna-
tions as Officers of the team, stating
they would play as hard for the team
as mere ball players as they had been
doing.
Trimble moved that an election be
held for a new manager, who would be
manager, business manager and cap
tain all in one, to have exclusive con-
troll of the team. The motion was sec
onded and carried and then a secret
ballot was held. The counting of the
ballot gave Fogg the position with a
majority of one over Ross. The votes
cast were: Howard Fogg, 4; Ross, 8;
Thompson, l; Simpson, 1; and Ro-
kahr, 1.
After thanking the players for his
election and promising to do all in his
mower IN tho RI i0<n
manager Fogg moved that the Popular
team extend to resigning manager
Thompson vote of thanks and express
sion of gratitude for the service per-
formed as business manager and
especially the act of lifting the in
debtedness of the team, which was
given with a will
Ross, resigning captain, was also
extended a vote of appreciation for the
services he had rendered on the field,
and after promising their new man
ager that never again would they let
discord enter their ranks, the players
adjourned.

Gossip of Games Here and
On Other Fields of Sport
(By Ted Mooring.)

The Popular White Sox appear to be
having a little trouble OF their own.
! Tommy Thompson has resigned as man.
ager and according to his own state
ment will leave the team. While his
resignation as manager will be accept
ed, the other members of the team be-
lieve they can induce him to remain as
a player. Tommy assigns as his rea-
sons for leaving that there were too
many men sndeavoring to run the
team.
Manager Clarke of Pittsburg. is de-
termined to win one record-that of fill
ing more protests than any other team
in the league. He now claims that in
a recent game with ST. Louis, umpires
Eason and tombstone showed cowardice
and handed everything to the st. Louis
team. 1t seems that in one of the first
soda pop bottles and hit tombstone on
the head, and manager Clarke alleges
that this act of the fans took away eli
the nerve either Eason or tombstone
had left.
If present reports are true, Atlanta
fans, in the Southern league, are hap

Of manager Otto Jordan. but he owned
Now 1t appears that Otto has agreed
to resign and that Herman Schaefer.
Of the Washington Americans will sue
coed him as leader. 1t is stated that
Otto will be traded to Washington fer
Schaefer and It will apparently be a
swap of a second baseman becoming
manager in a minor league and a man
ager in a minor league becoming Sec
ond baseman in a major league.
The Philadelphia Athletics have pur-
chased outfie1der Hal Maggart from
the Oakland club in the Pacific Coast
league to report next spring. AS an

one of the swiftest on the coast and is

a letter to Art Woods upholding the

against decision in a game with Globe

cided in favor of the Mexicans, but sew
eral of the Millers were not satisfied
and the matter was taken up with

produces a list he has tried out this
season. Incidentally, it might not be
amiss to state that Washington fans
are claiming that Jim McAleer is no
good and 1t seems as If the pot was
calling the kettle black.
Bill Dineen, an umpire at present,
but once a pitching partner of Cy
Young, claims that there is never any
danger of Cy's arm giving way. In
speaking of the matter, Dineen said:
IF Cy ever quits 1t will be because his
legs. and not his arm. give way. That
arm Of Young's will outlast his legs"

Jesse Tannehill has been given his
unconditional release by Birmingham,
in the Southern league. The veteran
stated that the reason he asked for his
release was because he and manager
