DENIES FRICTION
IN ROANOKE CLUB
President Declares Relations Be
tween Shaughnessy and Man
agenent Are Harmonious.
Especial TO The Times-pispatoh 7


Roanoke. Va. July 24.-President
Heines tonight denied emphatically
the rumor that there is friction be-
tween Manager Shaughnessy and the
management OF the Roanoke baseball
club. Mr.. Heines insists that the rela-
lions between the management and
shaughnessy are thoroughly harmoni-
GUS. The rumor is thought to have
grown out of war of words between
Shaughnessy and Bert Gardin on Sat
urday afternoon, which was followed
by Gardin's jumping the team, and re-
turning to his home in South Carolina
last night. Before leaving Gardin
said that Shaughnessy accused him
of 'stalling or laying down on his
job" ever since the beginning of the
season. The tall southpaw said be-
fore leaving that he would not return
to play under Shaughnessy.
Smook Connors. who has been hold
Ing down third base. left on the same
train with Gardin, going TO Philadel-
phia. Connors was removed from his
position and given a try-out at short.
when McCauley arrived, but failed to
make good, having been told that he
would be loaned to Bristol, in the Ap-
palachian League. He decided he
would return to his home in Philadel-
phia rather than go to Tennessee. The
departure of Gardin and Connors
simultaneously caused considerable
comment and speculation as to fric-
ton between Shaughnessy and the
management.
