SHOOT GAMBLER AT

Boston, June 6.-During the heat of

the Cubs and Braves, local baseball
gamblers who find haven in the right
field pavilion at the Brave field got into
an argument which resulted in the
shooting of Eddie Mack, local sport
ing man VINO manages a string of prize
fighters, the best known of the lot be-
ing Matty Baldwin, the lightweight.
Mack, who admitted that he had been
making friendly wager on the
game, was shot in the right thigh, the
bullet passing through his limb and
spending itself against concrete
post.
There were several hundred fans
around Mack at the time, none o.
whom cared to tell the police anything
about the shooting. For several years
Boston has been the center of baseball
gambling, the spectators gathering
near the top of the right field pavilion
and taking care Of their business with
out interference.

Jimmy Callahan

Pittsburgh, Pa.-Jimmy Callahan,
Fred Clarke's successor as Pirate man
ager, is battling Old Man JinX most
desperately this season. Injuries and
sicknesSes among his boys have kept
the team IN a continual state Of dis
organization and the lineup is being
shifted daily. So long as this con-
tlnues Callahan is unable to discover
the teams greatest strength and the
possibilities of different fielding com
binations. Just the same Cal is dis
posed to be hopeful and may surprise
some of the eastern wiseheimeFs be-
lore the season is much further ad-
vanced.
Hans Wagner. the immortal vet
eran, was injured in recent New
York series and had to lay OIL the
while. Doc Johnson, playing whils
nall SICK, was far below his form and
as soon as Wagner returned John
ston was given a rest. This brought
about shift in the whole inheld.
with Wagner replacing Johnston at
nrst and Jimmy Smith a promising
KID, at short, Smith shows all sorts
of promise, but is as yet most green
and wild and would profit by more
minor league seasoning. At the
same time Niox and Schultz were
crippled and Cal was obliged to use
the youngster who showed better at
short than he had in trials al third
and second.
The return Of Johnston and Schultz
10 their regular places in the lineup
recently has cheered Callahan quite
DIT and appears TO have thrown some
little ginger into the rest of the
bunch 1t is probable the Pirates will
grab Fritz Mollwitz, who was released
by the Cincinnati Reds when Herzog
hlred Hal Chase. The Reds-very in
VIGOROUSLY, considering that Garry
Hermann, their owner. is a member
or the national commission-tried to
ignore the formality OF asking wal
vers on him and when President
Dreyfuss Of the Pirates heard the
news he explained TO league head
quarters that the Pirates h never
waived on Mollwitz and had never
had the chance.

Poor Attendance Is Given as Cause BY
President Dick Lane in Letter
to Newspaper Man.
ACTION rs LONG CONSIDERED
Fans Told OF Condition OF Club Weeks
Ago, but Have Failed Completely
to Show ANY Interest.

Davenport, considered one OF the
strongest clubs in the Three-Eye
beat, is ready to throw up the
sponge. Such is the giSt OF mes.
sage received last night by Day.

Lane, president OF the Davenport

his return to Davenport next

which he is to surrender the DaY-
export franchise to President Tear
ney. Poor attendance is given a.
the cause. Just what effect Day.
EXPORTS action will have on the
rest of the clubs is not known.
In his letter to Jerry Mcfarland,
sporting editor OF the Davenport Demo-
crat, Mr.. Lane had the following TO
say:
After the disappointing attendance
at Saturdays and Sundays games at
Davenport Tom Walsh, my brother and
myself, owners of the Davenport base
ball team, have decided to surrender
DaVenport's franchise to President
Tearney.
We have been more than willing to
sustain a financial loss each year, pro-
vided the public gave US support and
attendance at the games. This was
all we asked. Other cities by public
subscriptions each season raised from
two to three thousand dollars to f.
nance the teams. Our people have not
approved of what we have tried to do.
and the apparent apathy of the fans
fastened our decision to surrender the
franchise and close the Blue Sox park,
the date to be fixed upon my return to
Davenport next week.
Il make this statement with regret,
as I firmly believe a professional ball
team such as we have does more to
keep our city before the entire public
than all other publicity you can obtain.
1t is extremely disappointing to US TO
take this step, as We have the interests
Of Davenport at heart.
Very truly yours,
