FOIL WANTS TO KNOW
Denies Danforth Incident and VIII
Demand Reason For Release.

st. Louis, Mo-, Aug. 10.-Lee A..
Foil. deposed manager of the st.
Louis Browns. denied in a statement
printed in this mornings Globe Demo-
crat from its New York staff cor
respondent that he had refused TO
sign a petition that was being cir
culated among the team members on
behalf Of Pitchef Dave Danforth,
following his recent suspension on a
charge of having discolored pitched
ball.
According to the statement credited
to Foil. he did not know that such
a petition was being circulated until
this charge was made openly IN the
press.
Foil is on his way to st. Louis,
where it is said he expects to meet
Philip DE Catesby Ball, principal
owner of the Browns, to demand an
explanation of the charge made in
the telegram. in which Foil was
notified of his release for the good
of the game and the morale OF the
team" as charged in a telegram sent
to this city and instructing Mr.. Ball
secretary to notify Foil of his re-
lease.
In 'Fohl's opinion, the Browns
never prospered better than they did
during the three years he managed
the team. and for that reason he
resents the remark credited to Mr..
Ball. who openly criticised Foil
methods of management and his sue
cess as pilot of the Browns.
