.,.h, Brooklyn Federal League club at
u..,;ng of the stockholders held in
B,ooklyn yesterday. Mr.. Ward will
.,.s M the task Of directing the af-
,,ir, OF the club at once. The other
ser, will be chosen in the near fut-
r,s and in all probability W. b. Ward.
"A. oldes. son Of the deceased presi-
dent. will be named as vice-president.
The action taken sets at rest once and
for all time the rumor that George 5.
ward would refuse TO back the Tip

M Ward declared that he would fol.
lor the policv of his brother. He said
hat he was we'll satisfied with the ex-

Pud McTighe. who had successful
year with the Toronto club of the In

have another chance 10 fool the big

the Detroit Tigers yesterday, and will

|Navin. owner Of the Tigers, saying that
he was glad TO be with Detroit, since

Calm yourselves. calm yourselves, the
rsrort that Johnny Evers. Butch
Sehmidi and Hank Gowdy will be
saded 70 the Cincinnati Reds is gross
" exaggerated. Grossly exaggerated!
Gsvvy Crayath, like Dave Orr in the
old days, obeys orders implicitly
