CLEVELAND, May 27.-Charley Som

a bomb into baseball by ousting Joe
Birmingham from the management of
the club, Saturday was guessing with
the fans over the name of his new
Il have no more idea than you who
will be the next manager of my club"
That was the way Somers talked Sat-
urday.
II decided I didn't want Birmingham
as my manager any more. so told him
So" he continued.
II didn't have the name OF his sue
cessor in mind when I notified Blrming-
ham he was through and l haven t
thought much about 1t yet.
II ma ' run along with Lee F'ohl as
acting manager until the end Of the
season. I may have a new manager

IF the boys start winning for Fohl

He has as good a chance Of landing the
job as anyone.
'I understand Birmingham accuses
me of interfering with the manage
ment OF the club
Maybe I did. l insisted that Turner
play second and later demanded that
Jackson be placed on first so Smith
could be used regularly.
But in other ways I believe l went
farther to help Birmingham make good
than most club owners would have
done, and now that l have ousted him
I believe a big part of the fans agree

Passing of Joe Birmingham as man
ager OF the Cleveland ball club verifies
the prediction made by baseball fans
to be responsible for the departure of
Larry Laioie from the sixth city him

Birmy was manager when Larry. the

tory. And now few short months
later Birmv himself follows in the foot

hoe in 1914. after he had startled the
baseball fans in 1919. when as the boy
leader he had his club fighting for the
flag all season.
Joe learned much In managerial
way from what he passed through In
1914, and his transformation this season
it seemed. had started him on the
highway to success.
But success comes slowly when a
new ball club is being built from tho
ground up with raw youths. and Charley
Somers was not able to stand the strain
of slow revamping of the fortunes oi
the Cleveland club.
The fire through which Birmy passed
on his rocky road in 1914 should make
him additionally valuable as a manager
In some other league and city.
Here's luck to you, Joe Birmingham
for what you did in 1918 and for what
ou set out to accomplish in 1915.

attention to them, for knowing the de-
celts of the desert, she resolved that
| these figures should not mock her-they
were not human beings.
But after a time she ceased in a
useless effort to lug the heavy body of
Roleau Into the shelter of the car, she
turned once more to gaze about her.
She paused, her gaze arrested. Yes. a

Of these strange travellers, and was
heading that way

He advanced now quietly toward the
young woman whom he saw standing
there-glancing gravely at the fallen
body of the injured man-stooped,
turned him over, shook his head at

her companion. With alacrity the old
people led the way within.
''As II would perhaps serve you no

began Radoz, turning to the young
woman once more. II presume 1t will
be better for me now to depart to my

ferer?"
Yes, and let me thank one who has

She held out her hand, and the dark

showed Kitty into the one room of the
place provided with 4 bed-that OF her
self and husband-and made signs to
indicate that this was to be Kitty's
place. She spread out her hands in ex-

and repeated over and over again some
words which Kitty supposed to be re-
