ROWLAND WILL
 BE RELEASED IF
 WHITE S0X LOSE

If the White Sox fail to win the American league pennant this year. Clarence Rowland will be removed from the management. Already the gossips are circulating a story that Owner Comiskey has already picked out Rowland's possible successor, Tom Needham, who is handling the New ark International league team, is said to be the man. He is highly regarded by Comiskey and Ban Johnson, who recommended his engagement by the Newark club. Needham and Pat Moran once played with the Cubs un- der Frank Chance. In 1914 Moran was the Phi11ies' coach and Needham served the Cubs in similar capacity. Chance, who then was managing the Yankees, made the prediction that trone day both Needham and Moran would be major league team leaders. Moran already has made good and Needham
 will perhaps have his opportunity next year.

BROOKLYNS GET
 8 RUNS IN EIGHTH

New York, May 1S-Lads on the lot play baseball as we'll as the Dodg- CTS and Reds did yesterday in Brook lyn. 1t was a topsy-turvy game, with the Reds on top until the eighth. and they were "upside down" thereafter. Brooklyn won, 13 to 10. and no one thought the champions had chance of sliding into victory after the Reds had scored six runs in the fifth inn ing.
 The Reds accumulated three runs before the half dozen, and the Dodg- CTS chances seemed so dismal that Hal Chase left the game and entrust- ed his job to Clarence Mitchell, a pitcher, who played it we'll. Chase, however, In the third met in collision with Hickman when he Ieaped for a high throw from Sherrod Smith, which spilled both players
 Each team employed three pitchers and all were hammered, but the eli max came in the eighth, when the Dodgers smashed in eight runs The Reds then were five runs in the lead and it was sloppy. sloven1y pitching and some loose fielding that gave them such a lead.

KRICHELL CLAIMS LOSING STREAK OF
 LOCALS NEAR END
(By Wagner.)

These two jinxes, poor pitching and bad fielding, bobbed up again yester- day and caused Bridgeport to drop contest to New Haven at NeWhelo park by ' to 5. The local club is in a peculiar condition. The players can
 make plenty of runs but their defense is not good enough to, prevent the other fellows from making more.
 Manager Krichell declared after the game that he intends to experiment until he strikes a winning combina- tion. He says it has been difficult to select the right staff of twirlers from the material on hand but he expects to have the problem solved in a few days. Yesterday the manager went behind the bat himself and caught a good game; He also made two hits. Otto Townsend, the American Chain youngster, started in the box for Bridgeport. He twirled fairly we'll but his failure to cover first properly on two occasions proved costly. In the eighth combination of hits and er- TOTS gave New Haven five runs. Banks |, replaced Townsend in the ninth and |. blanked the visitors.
 Donovan went the entire route fol
 New Haven. He was clouted harder | than any other team has .lambasted
 him this season, Bridgeport getting 10 hits. Bracket, Martin. Trieste and | Krichell each contributed two safe- ties.
 New Haven was ahead by 2 to Twhen the b1owoff came in the eighth. With one out Townsend failed to get Deininger's throw on Nutter's s
 grounder. Then the fun began. Mar tin booted Whalen's grounder and l Torphy singled, scoring Nutter. The l bases were filled when Shannon soak ] ed a triple to left, the ball bounding l over the fence. Prieste's error lei l Shannon tally. Hits by Krichell
 Briggs, Trieste, Martin and Corcoran
 made four for the locals in the eighth.

The score was; Yankees 2: Browns. 3.

 The Yankees made the first run in the first inning on triple by Hendryx and MalseTs single to right. After the Browns had gathered two in the third on two bases on balls, wild pitch, an out and hit. the Yankees came right back with the same num- Der in their part of the fourth.

kAUFF HAMMERS
 OUT FOUR BLOWS AGAINST ST. LOUIS

New York, May 18.-Ferdie Schupp won his fourth straight game for the Giants yesterday, the St. Louis Car dinals being the victims of his un- beatable pitching. After two defeats McGraw's men went after the Cardi- nals with vengeance and smothered them under a score of 10 to 2. In the face of the fierce attack of the New York bats the aggressive Cards be- came tame as lambs, and three of their pitchers were hammered for 1s hits, one of which was a wholesome
 home run smash into the right-iield grand stand by Holke in the second inning.
 The victory didn't boost the New Workers along in the league standing. because the Cubs insisted on winning again in Boston. If the Phillies don't halt the troublesome Cubs today tho Giants will have to do the whole job themselves when the Bruins call around this way next week.
 | All the St Losds sluggers were easy
 victims of Schupp's twisters yester- lHay. He let them down with four hits. and nine of them took the em- Iharrassing trip back to the bench af- ter striking out. The Cards didn't get 1 a chance to get into the run getting QUlll GCIEuQp 1GII tAS SdlAC, cl1Q HI I1lS ninth a couple of errors and hit gave the Missouri clan two runs and saved them from a whitewash.
 l Benjamin Kaun spent perfect day
 at the ball game He was at bat four ! times. and got two doubles and two
 singles, scoring three of the Giants
 runs. Every other player on the club l got a hit at one time or another. It
 was the most spontaneous outburst of hard hitting that the Giants have
 shown this season. Little Pete Kill
 duff, who is subbing for Charley Her zog, also had a perfect afternoon al l the bat. He got three hits and base on balls to reward him for going td
 bat four times. The St. Louis outfeEders did SC
 much running around that they were
 pretty well exhausted before the game
 Manager McGraw sent in q whole flock of second string players to givs
 the regulars a rest. Manager Hug. gins called on his reserves to break down Schupp's pitching, but Schupr was spinning them over so elusivelv that it is doubtful if the Cards could have hit the ball with paddle. The
 only real damage was executed by
 Roger Hornsby, who laced three bagger over Davey Robertson's head in right field.
 l Mule Watson started to pitch for the | Cards, but he didn't last long. Burns opened with single to right and
 Kauf peppered,a hit to centre. When Cruise tried to out down Burns at
 third with a long throw Kauff went
 to second. Burns scored lon Robert
 son'st out at first. and Heinie zim's sacrifice fly scored Kauff.y Kilduff got
 a pass in the seco--1 inning, and he
 was chased home when Holke lifted
 the ball into the grand stand for g home run. Watson retired silently to the club house, and left1handed I George Pierce, who once had short lexperience with the Giants, assumed the pitching task.

BIG MINORS MAY CALL OFF SER ES
 BECAUSE. OF WAR

Chicago, May 18-Thomas J. Hickey president of the American Association, on his return from New York yester- day, where he was in conference with Edward G. Barrow, president of the International League, and John K. Tener, president of the National League, issued the following state ment:
 The .interleague series of AS games between clubs of the American Asso- citation and the International League, scheduled to start early in August, has been called off owing to unsettled con- ditions caused by the war.
 s'In conference with President Barrow of the International League in New York we both agreed that it
 would be mistake to play the series this season.
 Edward G. Barrow, president of the International League. said in New York city last night that the an nouncement from Chicago was pre- mature so far as his league was con cerned. He said:
 "I have not consented to calling of the inter1eague series, and, while the question was discussed at conference had with Hickey on Wednesday, nc decision was reached.
 Tn fact, I am not prepared or ever authorized to accept Hiekey's decision | and 1t will be necessary to call meet. | ing of our club owners to settle the | question.
 Apparently Hickey will not have
 the full support of the American Asso l citation owners either, as have jus
 received the following telegram from C. H. 'Wathen. president of tse Louis vile club and vice president of tn, | American Association:
 l '' There has been no meeting of tn,
 American Association and Hickey rep resents only some individual interests IT feel certain if the Internationa League wants to go through with tn inter-league series that majority O the association owners will do like wise. Our association is in good con
 dition and has not been affected b,

If Hans Wagner thinks of coming back to the Pirates he'll havo to do some pretty strenuous rolling or somthing to get rid of some of his superfuous fat. Hans tips the scales at 25o pounds today and that's too much to carry around ont the dia- mond.
 Just look at Peckinpangh. There were days, and they're not so long ago, that Peck couldn't hit for beans. Today he's actually soaking them. In fact he's way up at the top of the list of short stops who are hitting at all these days.

CALDWELL DOES
 REAL COMEBACK FOR YANKEE TEAM

Ray Caldwell has come back. All doubt about that point has been dis pelled by the fine showing he has ade insxhe box. and the Yankees are more than ever pinning their faith on the biz pitcher. Unfortunately Ray has not been able to chalk many vic- tories against his score. but that hasn't t tsose sso As Occasions a when S. ha. al been en called upon to do the pitching. his team mates have failed to deliver the goods in the shape of hits. Caldwell is pitching in the same style that made him feared during his early career with the Yankees. He had the same hard luck, in the matter of lack of batting support during the begin ming of the 1916 season.

COMPLAIN OF DIVINE

President Dan O'NeiI of the East ern league, while in this city yester- day, said he had received complaints from Bridgeport fans about the con duct of Catcher Devine of the New Haven club. The catcher's actions were particularly objectionable in the opening game here last Friday. DeYine stalled around and delayed the game considerably because he did not like Umpire Whalen,s rulings His lan- guage was also improper and he did not seem to care whether it was heard by ladies in the stand. O'Neil told Owner Collins of New Haven yester- day about the complaint he had re- ceived regarding Devine.
 sDevine is a good catcher, said O'Neil, ..but he will have to behave himself in this league We intend to Owner Collins said he would see that Devine mended his ways.
