In discussing his trouble with
Manager Mack, Bush said:
"I have not broken the clubs

the matter with me is a sore thumb,
which has prevented me from curv-

day. He had told me not to put too
much speed on the ball, as the In

right, for Cleveland jumped me hard
in one inning. Mr. Mack said some

back. Then Mr.. Mack fined me. 1

more, and l was ordered to take

WAR HITS COUNTY LEAGUE

York, Pa. Aug. 24.-The York
County League has decided to aban-
don its schedule for the remainder
of the season. This action was
brought about not because of lack
of attendance nor interest in the race
but because so many teams have
lost several of their star players
through the draft. Every team in
the circuit has lost one and several
two or more, and because of this
the officials decided to close down
for this season. Red Lion was lead
ing the league by good margin
and was reasonably sure of winning
the championship.

oNsLoW GOES TO GIANTS

New York, Aug. 24.-The New
York National League club an
nounced last night the purchase of
Catcher Jack Onslow from the Buffalo
club of the International League, the
deal to become effective August 25.
Substitute Outfielder Jack Murray

fective on the same date. This is
the third time Murray has been re-
leased by the local club in two years.

their roster.
