BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Oct. 12.-Lewis
Fonseca, outielder-infelder
of the Chicago White Sox of
the American League, today
was named manager to sue
coed DOME Bush, who re-
signed last week.
Fonseca signed a two-year con-
tract, similar to that held by Bush,
who explained that the reason he
did not seek to renew his contract
was that he felt he didn't fit in"
The Cleveland Indians sent Fon-
SEGA to She White Sox during the
last season in a trade for Willie
Kamm, third baseman. Fonseca
was the leading American League
batter in 1929.
In 1880. Fonseca was hampered
by injuries and lost his first base
berth with Cleveland to Eddie Nor
gan He was making a comeback
with the Indians this spring when
traded to the White SoX for Kamm
Lu Blue, obtained from st. Louis
Browns by the SoX, was playing
first base for the Hose, so Fonseca
was tried at second base and later
switched to the outfeld, where he
batted at .312 clip until the end
Of the season. Fonseca is 80 years
old.

AND the same advance dope made
only passing mention of the fact
that fellow named Martin was to
play center field for the Cardinals.
In fact, there was story that an
injury he sustained late in Septem-
Der might keep him out of it. But
nobody seemed to regard that con-
dition seriously. 1t was pointed out
that Manager Street had plenty of
extra outfielders if Martin could not
play,
Pepper Winning Factor
think it would have been quite
difference if Pepper had missed
the series. I am sure the AS would
now be world champions if Martin
had been unable to play. He not
only did great things himself, but
his work inspired other members of
the Cardinals to do their work well.
1t was an odd series in many
ways. The Athletics pitchers
showed marvellous control while los
ing the series, and the Cardinals
brought out only one hitter of 300
or better. The AS led the Card
lnalS in runs, but not in victories.
Dib Williams of the AS was one
of the four regulars who hit above
300, being eXcelled only by Martin
and Foxx and being tied with Al
Simmons. But he led all the 9TH
er players in Strikeouts and many
of these third strikes came at i'm
portant times.
Earnshaw'S Luck Bad
Then there was George Earnshaw.
who pitched we'll enough to win
three games ordinarily and still he
lost two. He was the hard luck
player of the series. In twenty-four
innings, big George allowed only
twelve hits, or as many as the
Cards got off Grove when Lefty beat
them the first time. Earnshaw had
remarkable control and he struck
out more men than any other pitch
err in the series. He allowed only
six runs while pitching one COM
plete game, eight innings of another
and seven innings Of the final game.
But he could win only once.
regard EarnShaw and Simmons
as the outstanding stars of the
AS in the series. I rate Simmons
as sharing top honors because of
the number of runs he batted in.
The big outfelder was credited Of
hcially with driving eight runs
across and the AS scored only
twenty-five.
Doubt at Finish
Another oddly of the series was
that Burleigh Grimes was regarded
as a question mark when it started.
He wasn't selected until the third
game and there was story that
Manager Street debated for some
time whether to send Grimes or
Johnson to the mound in the third
game, but Burleigh came through
twice with the kind of pitching that
will not be denied. Grimes and
Hallahan rate next to Martin as
Cardinal heroes.
1t was a great series, with the
result in doubt after two were out
in the ninth inning of the final
game. And the Cardinals fully
merited their success.

Secretary William E. Clauer No Longer
Connected With Local Baseball Team
BY EDDIE ASH
Times Sports Editor

The official baseball family of the
Indianapolis Indians was minus
veteran member today with the an
nouncement of the resignation of
William E. Clauer as club secretary.
Clauer. active in politics and a
former city councilman, joined the
Tribe as secretary under the regime
of the late William G. Smith near
ly thirteen years ago. He has been
a prominent figure in local and
American Association baseball over
the long stretch of seasons.
Attendance at the annual winter
baseball powwows and journeys
with the Indians to the southland
each spring combined to give
Clauer a wide acquaintance in the
national pastime.
Under the William C. Smith
ownership of the Indians Secre-
tary Clauer was more active than
during the past season owing to the
fact Smith left most of the execu-
tive duties to him.
President Perry was out of the
city today, but it is presumed he
asked for Clauer's resignation to
reduce operating expenses. 1t is
hardly likely the position will be
filled. friends close to Perry init
mated.
The resignation of Olauer was at
the request of Owner Norman A.
Perry, according to the former sec
rotary, and followed other changes
in the Tribe family during the 1881
season, including managerial
change, Emmett Mccain succeed
ing Johnny Corriden, and zeKe Lau-
bis succeeding Jim Pierce as club
trainer.
Mccain has not signed contract
for 1882 but is expected to visit In
dianapolis this week for confer
ence with President Perry, accord
ing to Jack Hendricks, assistant to
Perry and team scout.
