acquire men suited to his style of play.
1.-THE poor showing of the team this
year Is not Jones. fault" Ball said.
Accidents and sickness among the
players handicapped the club from the
first. The slump has subjected Jones
to severe criticism.
1.-The owners Of the club think high :
ly Of Jones ability and will give him all
the support necessary to bring out a
winning club next year. Jones will
stick We want him on the job.
1.-THE team has never been intact.
First. Davenport was shot, and then
Shotton became ILL.,. Next Weilman
went under the surgeons knife. Then
Pratt broke wrist. Lavan also has
been out Of the game off and on. Sis
Ter hobbled around four weeks on n bad
foot; Austin broke finger and finally
Plank retired from baseball. It's alb
surd to blame Jones for all this mis-
fortune. He is entitled to another trial
and he will get it."
When informed Of Balls statement,
Jones said:
II will rebuild my team around Sis
Ter, Pratt and Austin. I am not going
to tear this club apart just to expert
ment. I know 1t is a good ball club
