He gave no reason to the division

considered the 15day training camp

The matter Is to be laid bluntly before

| LEAGUE He A D
MAY LOSE
HIS JOB
Hickey's Enemies Press Bush
Case, Believing Sentence
Is Too Severe

President Thomas F. Hickey, of
the American Association, is in
danger of losing the job as a result
of his handling of the case of Owen
Bush, former Detroit shortstop,. but
now manager of the Indianapolis
Club. Bush has q six months sen
tence hanging over his head in case
he has a run.in with any umpire in
the association. The former short
stop has been at loggerheads with
the head of the circuit on account
of his frequent run-ins with UNI
pires.
Recently what appeared to be the
straw that broke the camel's back
and resulted in the severest penalty
ever melted out to manager for
such an offense occurred after the
ball game when Bush met Umpire
Finneran on a street car and con-
tinued to pour into the umpire's
ears some of his opinions about
the latter's ability as a judge OF
balls and strikes. Bush followed
Finneran into the hotel where he
attempted to take refuge from the
verbal attack.
The incident was reported in
full detail to President Hickey, and
he went to Baseball Commissioner
Lands for advice. This was the
first time on record that a minor
league magnate ever had gone out
Of his own loop to have a player
dealt with. Lands advised that
the case be put up to President
Sexton, of the National Association
of Baseball Leagues.
Sexton held conference with the
umpire and the story was repeated.
Sexton promptly suspended Bush
for six months, but pressure was
brought to bear on the league
official and he agreed to take Bush
back on probation, holding up the
sentence until the manager made
another break against q decision.
The severity of the sentence has
aroused no little resentment In
Indianapolis, where Bush is big
favorite. In other cities where
there was some feeling against
Hickey the case was used as a
wedge to get another leader in the
Double A circuit.

n { " VITALITY
FOR BROWNS
NEXT YEAR
Claude Jonnard Is Bought
Outright From Toledo
Mud Hens

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 1S.-The first
move to strengthen the Browns for
1926 has been made. Business
Manager Bill Friel announced today
that Claude Jonnard of the Toledo
Club of the. American Association
had been obtained on an outright
sale with no players from the local
team involved.
Jonnard is a lean Highlander
who attracted attention while q
member of the Nashville club Of
the Southern Association several
years ago. He was sought by sew
everal major league clubs, the
Giants included, and when the bid
ding opened John J. McGraw put
out the highest price.
Jonnard served an apprentice
term with the Giants and a year
ago was sent to the Toledo club
for seasoning. He was with the
Giants in their pennant drive in
1924 and appeared in thirty.four
games as relief pitcher.
Major league scouts touring the
Association this season
picked Jonnard as the best pros
pect in the league.
Business Manager F'riel trailed
Jonnard for two weeks and became
SO. favorably impressed with the
pitcher that he paid the price
asked by President O'Brien of the
Toledo Mud Hens.

Pads and Headgear
Barred by Coach
At Lawrence

APPLETON, Wis.,, Sept. 18.--
The potential football ace who
in his attempts to win gridiron
fame must wear such "srmor"
as headgear and shoulder pads
will find it best to fight shy of
Lawrence College.
Coach Mark S. Catlin, in send
ing out his call for Blue war
riors to report for first prac-
tice, announced that no men on
the squad will be permitted to
wear headgear or shoulder pads
either in practice or in actual
contest.
Catlin enforced the same rule
son his squad a year ago, when
Lawrence won both the State
and Midwest Conference cham
pionships on the football field
and was most successful. His
squad had fewer serious in
juries during the season than
any other college.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Sept. 49,.
Harvard men are hoping that the
1925 coaching staff, progressing up
on harmonious lines and with
enough new offensive ideas to in
terest the players, can get so much
better results this fall than were
obtained year ago that the alum
nj can review the performance OF
their eleven with elan-even eclaI.
There seems to be disposition
In some quarters to believe that
the dual activities Of Fisher and
DAILY may clash and cause some
friction, but those who know the
situation are confident that Days
advent will be only beneficial.
Fisher will be head coach. TO
him will go the credit Or the onus.
Daily is a Harvard man; and moth
ing can be accomplished sans har-
mCny.
There will also be minor changes
in the coaching staff. Leo Leary,
another Haughton lieutenant, viii
coach the ends, and Charles Tier
ney will instruct the tackles, guards
and centers. Eddie Farrell replaces
Pooch Donovan as trainer.
Eddie Mahan will continue as
cOaCn OF the KlCk6fS, ana JIMMY
Knox will again handle the scrubs
and attend to the scouting.
The following men composed the
varsity squad which began train

few harsh things about the miscues
constantly cropping UP.
The pleasantest feature of the
opener was the return of Fred Mar
berry. The big fellow hurt his
arm August 81 Ind has been rest

the ninth inning of that first game
and was not responsible for the run

later tripled with the bases load

Sam Rice enjoyed himself with
the bat in the first game, collect
ing four hits, two singles, double
and three-bagger.
The second game got away to a
late start, the opener requiring al
most three hours to play nine full
frames. AS a result, with two on

sixth, Bill Dineen found he couldn't
see the ball at all and called every

BY BABE RUTH

NEW YORK, Sept. 1s.-The
thing that, stood out this year
in picking an alI-American base
bali team was the way young
blood forced old-tine talent to the
ropes. It seems like we are just
in the first stages Of q big turn
over in big league stars and from
the present outlook 1926 will see
more new players holding down
regular positions than. any time in
many seasons.
Every time we see q new face
and a suitcase around the Yankee
bali club you can hear chorus:
whats this guy play?" A young
fellow, to all appearances . col
Iege boy came into the clubhouse
the other day. He carried the
usual travelling bag and it didn't
take the boys long to spot him
as another recruit "up for .
trial" sE
Doc Woods, the Yankee trainer
generally takes hold Of new arrivals
and gives them locker. He spot
ted this boy and led him over to
locker 81, which is away around
where the undershirts dry.

ask: Got your baseball stuff In
the suitcase?'a
And the answer was, "Yepw
