the local club for almost a score Of
years and who is one Of the best known
characters in the great national pas
time. steps down from the presidency,
being succeeded by Sol Meyer, the club
treasurer. who for some time has held
q controlling interest in the club
stock
The shakeup while resulting from
designations virtually amounts TO a
split. brought about by unsatisfactory
results from the playing field Meyer
is said to have demanded Burke's res
ignatiOn and Watkins, rather than con-
sent TO this, stepped down and out
himself.
Manager Burke's resignation was re

year TO strengthen the team after the
poor showing at the start. He had
been a member Of the Detroit team
since 1904. and for the last six weeks
has played regularly in the short field
for the Indians. He is considered one
OF the smartest ball players in the
