Louisville, KY, July 7.--William
.Clymer, manager of the Louisville
club of the American association, is
becoming known as the silent
coach" among patrons of associa-

Usually a determined fighter,
ready to protest decisions instantly,
Clymer has resorted to deaf and
dumb tactics because of his recent
suspension. The fans always have
known JClymer as a raving, roaring
clown on the coaching lines. They
want him to keep it up.
That's part of my work, but 1t
costs me money to talk in this
league" Clymer explained. Every
time say anything, some umpire
chases me out of the park, and then
am suspended and fined / suppose
I'll have to stand there like q
dummy, and try to win ball games"

Explains Absence of Famous
Automobile Racing Star.
(By Associated Press.)

Omaha, July 1.-THE controversy
over the whereabouts of Eddie Rick
enbacher, the Omaha boy, who, in
the last two or three years has taken
many big prizes in automobile races,
has been settled by letter just re-
ceived from him by Harry j. Van
Hoven, his former manager.
1t has been said Rickenbacher
was driving General Pershing's
automobile in France, but this was
afterward denied and the assertion
was made that he was teaching avia-
ton at Mineola, l.. /. The letter to
Van Hoven was written at the tower
of London, which proved that Rick
enbacher is with Pershing.
