day for the remainder OF the season
without pay. Manager Chance served
notice the genial athlete when he
appeared on the field for practice. and
Schultz Immediately took off his uni

was Sehulte's failure TO observe the
liquor clause of his cintract.
Trouble brewed last night when
Chance at late hour met Schultz In
the hotel. Nothing was said then, but
Miller was told he would be in right

such drastic action. but explained 1t as
necessary in that he had to set an ex-
ample fir the other men who might
overstep the lines. now that the Cubs
pennant chances seem remote.
Schultz had nothing II say about his
layoff, and did not consider 1t q per-
sinai matter between himself and the
manager. Both were talking before
the train pulled out. and the suspend
ed athlete told the manager that he
had no kick to make. and that he
thought he deserved tn punishment.
Chance realized that his act would
rob the Cubs of a formidable cog"

heat Of the pennent fight again. but
he didn't intimate that he might lift
the ban before the season closes.
