STORIES OF CARDINAL STRIFE ARE PURE FICTION

NEW YORK, July 30.-The path of Jack Hendricks, manaer of the St. Louis Cardinals, never rosy since he assumed command of that club, is be ing made harder than ever by flock of stories purporting to originate in the West" and declaring that his club is filled with strife.
 One of these yarns is to the effect that Rogers Hornsby recently com plained of an injury to his back when he was out of condition, and was promptly suspended by Hendricks. Thercupon, this story has it, Honrsby packed his grip and went home. con. iiding to just few ntimates that he was through with baseball for keeps.
 The fact is that Hornsby was sum. moned by his local board in Texas, with instructions to get into some other kind of work or be classified in class IA Then he went home to settle matters with the dra1t board.
 This compares well with the story circulated last spring, 10 the effect that Hornsby and Hendricks were about to break of relations At that time the shortstop star was under care of a physician, who ordered him to sr1main out of the game for some time When he recovered he was back in the game with his full strength
 Hendricks told the writer shortly after the last baseball season that he was on excellent terms with every man on his baseball club, including Pepper" Hornsby.
