CLEVELAND, July 2O.-Trs
Speaker, veteran centerhelder, is the
new manager of the Cleveland In
dians. Lee Foil, who took up tht
reins in 1916, rendered his resigna
ton late yesterday, saying that he
believed the fans were against him
President Dunn then announced that
Speaker would be in charge of the
team, at least for the rest of the
season.
81 have no criticism to make OF
FohFs work as manager" said Presi-
dent Dunn. in giving out the news
in the press box at League Park.
His action was purely voluntary.
Our relations were cordial and he
will remain with the club at his pres
ent salary, acting as coach for the
pitchers"
FohTs troubles this seson came to
a head when he released Terry Tur-
ner, who has thousands OF friends
here. Turner was a member OF the
Cleveland club for fifteen years and
for years ranked as the best short
stop in the American League.
When Turner aired his troubles
through a local newspaper, charging
Foil with not giving him a square
deal hundreds of fans rallied to his
assistance. Many wrote to the news
papers, while even more began max
ing Fohl's life miserable from their
seats in the grandstand.
Foil was sharply criticised IN
Cleveland newspapers following the
loss of Fridays game to the Red Sox.
Foil sent Myers in as d pinch-pitcher
and kept him in till he had filled the
bases. When Babe Ruth drove out a
home run, winning the game, Foil
was charged with showing poor man
agerial skill.
This criticism from the baseball
writers, coming on top Of the scrap
over Terry Turner's release. finally
caused Foil to tender his resigna-
ton.
Speaker was in charge of the In
dams yesterday, starting OF with a
victory over the Red SoX.

Griff's argument that Johnson has
big fellow cannot get by on speed
alone any more. He has not for sew
eral years. Where Walter used TO
huzz en- past the battcrs before they
could get their clubs off their shout
ders, he is now nursing himself along
with curve balls sandwiched with a
few fast ones. All this is very true.
as every studious batter in the Amer
lean League well knows Now to, get
L" the part whore Eddie CiCotte And
that cursed "shine ball" come in.
Grin Spills His Words.
Here is how Grif spoke about this
particular feature:
You know. Walter could be a bet
ter pitcher than he ever was If he
wanted to resort 10 some of those
illegal tactics. He could make use
Of tkat shine ball as do Cicotte and
few others. If he so desired. but
he does not seem to want 10 win
games that way
Also. he could employ the spit
ball and by using that style Of hurI-
ing ! imagine ne could show greater
effectiveness than any OF our great
salIvajed hurlers Of recent years"
There y no doubt but that Walter
would DC unbeatable If he depended
on some such style Of attack-that is.
n he could master either delivery.
Where the hitch comes is in the fact
that 2 few years ago. when Johnson
realized that he was losing some of
,kc hop on his fast one. he expert
nented with spIt5aII but Judging
from the fact that he has not made
use OF il, it must be taken for
granted that he found he could not
master control Of a wet ball. Get
ting the breaks" on splitter rs
simple enough. To get 1t over the
plate is the tough part.
Can't Handle Freaks.
Oh, yes, it must be added that Griff
said that one reason johnson feared
using the sinner or splitter was that
with his terrific speed Walter feared
he might hit poor inoTensive bat
ter and render his victim UNIT for
further big league toll. This is al
most an admission that johnson
knows he can't handle ehe freak
balls, therefore must depend on speed
and hooks.
One often wonders why Grif. alter
years Of failure as a pennant con-
tender. does not sell a flock OF talent,
buy some new men and make an
other start. He could not do worse
than he has been doing.

Mclaughlin said five years ago that
he was quite through with the game
as far as championship play was con-
cerned. Mclaughlin was said to have
been burnt out in 1914. the last year
in which he competed for the national
singles title, and was beaten by II.
Norris Williams.
Many said Mclaughlin was done
| then, but he defeated Brookes and
| Wilding in the international matches
in as sensational tennis as he ever
produced, and gained the number one
ranking despite his defeat by Will
Jams.
Said to Be Fresher.
McLoughIin's enforced absence from
the courts is said by many to have
done much for him. His experience
in the navy is thought to have great
ly benefited him, and the mere fact
that he has taken to the courts again
is significant. IL may be that the
invasion OF Norman Brookes has
made the Comet seek his racquet. 1t
may be that Gerald Patterson, the
Australian with the American service
and style of play. who appears to
threaten the L. 5. y. l.. T. A. horizon.
tournament play again.
At all odds Mclaughlin is a young
man as far as athletic ability is con-
cerned. Billy Larned first showed in
the upper ten in 1892. twenty years
before nc lost his first national title
Mclaughlin is comparative young
stcr, as he dropped his title to Will
liams but five years ago, when he was
a mere kid.

To Have Curly, Wavy
Hair Like Natures Own"

Women who have trouble keeping
their hair in curl. or of securing the
desired wavy effect-and especiaIIy
those who realize the harm that the
hot iron does to the hair-will do
well to try plain liquid silmerine In
no other way can they acquire such
pretty waves and curls, having all
the appearance of Natures own"
And the hair instead of being singed,
ragged or dead looking, has such a
lively luster and wholesome beauty
If one will get a bottle of liquid
silmerine at any drugstore and fol-
low the accompanying directions, she
will be simply delighted with the re-
suit. This product is of course per-
fectly harmless and there is nothing
sticky, greasy or unpleasant about
it. The hair will be quite manage
able, no matter in what fashion it
is done up.

'LEMOYNE VOTES
ON $1,000 LOAN
Firemen End Campaign For
Combination Auto Truck
Confident of Success

Lcmoync, Pa, Nov. 4.-Voters of
this borough to-day were asked be-
fore entering the polls to cast their
ballots for the passage of the ST.
600 loan issue to be used in pur-
chasing a combination ire-fghting
automobile truck. Members of the
fire company have been working for
weeks to win votes in order to pass
the measure. To-day they felt they
had exerted their best efforts to en-
list the support of every voter. The
final drive the firemen made was
last night when hundreds of cir
culars We're distributed. The cir
culars appealed to each voter for
support and the committee in charge
felt confident the issue would pass.
At Odds With Council
For several years business men
and taxpayers have felt the need of
adequate fire protection. Steps
were taken at different times to pro-
vide this protection, but members of
council and firemen long since have
disagreed on several matters and
progress along lines of improving
the fire protection was out of the
question. The breach between the
two organizations came some years
ago when council favored the erec-
ton of a town hall and a fire hall
combined. The firemen, it is under
stood, did not care to wait for coun-
ellis action and proceeded to build
q fire hall. Others contend there
were other causes for this severance
of relations. In any event, for some
years the two organizations were
not on friendly terms.
Support Was Lacking
Because of this unSettIed ctoto nf
affairs the fire company was not
given the support from the town
organizations of this nature need to
exist. In the last year there was a
general shakeup in the fire company
and the debt on the fire engine house
and equipment was wiped out by
popular subscription. This, with
several other moves taken by the
fire company, forced councils recog-
milton and in recent months the two
organizations have been working
hand in hand for the betterment of
the community.
Loans Decided On
Some time ago a committee Of fire.
men asked councils support for q
pumping engine and combination
truck. The law-making body de-
cided to float n loan, members he
lieving if the people wanted it they
would vote for the passage of the
loan. The firemen Immediately
modified forces and as result
enough votes were enlisted to encour-
age them to work for the municipal
government.
Should the issue pass, the pur-
chase of the truck will not force up
the millage. The expenditure will
be spread over a period of several
years, it is understood. By this plan
councilmen say it will not be neces-
sary to increase the mill rate. If
the apparatus is purchased it will
be the largest on the West Shore
and compare in size and efficiency to
some of the larger city pieces of
apparatus.
