TALES Of CARDINAL
STRIFE ARE FICTION
BY H. c. HAMILTON

Omitted Press staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, July 3o-The path Of
Jack Hendricks. manager Of the St.
Lou Cardinals. never rosy since he as
sumed command Of that club. is being
made harder than ever by a flock Of
stories purporting to originate In the
west" and declaring that his club is
allied with strife.
One Of these yarns is to the effect that
Rogers Hornsby recently complained Of
an injury TO his back when he was out
Of condition and was promptly suspend
ed by Hendricks. Thereupon this s$Qry
has it. Hornsby packed his grip and
went home. coniding to Just a few init
mates 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 kin
Of work or be CLASSIFIED in class IA.
Then he went home to settle matters
with the draft board.
This compares well with the story cir
culated last spring 20 the effect that
Hornsby and Hendricks were about 10
break off relations. A. that time the
shartstop star was under care OF n ply
stefan who ordered him 70 remain out OF
the game for some time. When he
recovered he was back in the game with
mis- full strength.
Hendricks told the writer shortly aft
er the last baseball season that he was
on excellent terms with every man on
his baseball club. including Pepper"
Hornsby.

NEW YORK. July 30.-It appears that
the National lea Is about to do some
thing in support Of Governor John X.
Tener. president. in his public stand
against the American league. Instead OF
talking about what should be done in
the case and publicly declaring them
selves either opposed to pr for the man
who has done SO much for the elder
major league. the Nationals magnates
are holding their peace and making some
real hay.
George stalIings, Of the Bos-
ton club. is the only man connected with
the National league who has expressed
himself ia any terms OF certainty re
Earding the Perry controversy As Stall
line's is the man IN the National league
principally interested in the discussion
MS words were quickly gobbled ~. He
declared himself in favor Of a strong
stand against Ban Johnson 70 show MIN
where he gets off"
AS a matter Of fact, Johnson IS scarce
Iy as much to blame as Connie Mack.
for without Mack's action in carrying
the case to the courts the deed Of Presi-
dent Tener would not have shown It's
head. Johnson. however. embroiled him
self when he stated in a message that
the American league would not. under
any consideration. consent TO the re-
movaI Of Perry from the Athletics. and
also. when. after the decision Of the
commission. he exposed his own opinion
the decision was unjust.
Many things can happen as a result
