Hornsby Has Managed a
Clubs: Cards, Braves,
Cubs and Browns
BY GEORGE kiRKSEY


New York, July 22.-U,H-The
mystery concerning the dismissal
of Rogers Hornsby as manager of
the st. Louis Browns deepened to-
day as reports reached the east
that he would become pilot of
another major league club in
1888.
One rumor had it that the rea-
son Hornsby was fired was because
he already had opened negotia-
tions to become manager of the
Cincinnati Reds. The Cleveland
Indians and Detroit Tigers also
have been mentioned as possible
bidders for HornSby's services.
Hornsby already has managed
four clubs the Cardinals, Braves,
Cubs and Browns. Though he has
won only one pennant, there are
plenty of smart major league men
who rate Hornsby the equal of any
pilot if given capable material.
That Hornsby may succeed
Chuck Dresser at Cincinnati
seems to have little foundation.
Those close to the Reds say there
isn't a chance of Hornsby getting
the job.
Dresser may quit as the Reds
pilot and come to New York as
assistant to Bill Terry, with the
possibility that he might get the
Giants managers job if Terry de-
cided to step upstairs in 1889. But
Hornsby is not even under con-
sideration as Dressen's successor,
they say.
One thing was obvious from
the way in which Hornsby was re-
leased. Something important hap
pened between July 4 and 81 to
cause Donald Barnes, Browns
owner, to change his mind about
Hornsby. On July Barnes an
nounced that Hornsby was secure
in his job and that no outside
snipers were going to get him.
Hornsby himself evidently
thinks the club had no good rea-
son for discharging him because
he refused to accept $4,000 set
tlement in the place of his full
salary due under his contract. Un-
less the Browns pay him in full,
Hornsby intends to take the case
to Commissioner Lands and then
to the civil courts if necessary.
Although Hornsby had no out
standing success as a pilot of the
Browns, he seemed to accomplish
as much as could be expected
from the players he had at his
disposal. The club was sadly lack
ing in pitching strength. A bat
ting practice pitcher, Bill Strick-
land, recently was signed when
AL Thomas and Sheriff Blake
were dropped.
It was a big disappointment to
Hornsby when the new owners,
headed by Barnes, failed to open
the purse strings and attempt to
land some outstanding minor lea
que stars. Hornsby got little or no
financial support from the new
owners.

Italy Is Favored
To Defeat Poland
For Tennis Crown
Central European Tennis
Championships to Be
Held at Warsaw

Warsaw, July 22.-U.P)-Italy
was a 2 to l favored to defeat
Poland for the Central European
Tennis Championship here to-
morrow al because medical
science has yet to devise a sure
cure for that common ailment,
the hangover.
When the umpire calls ready
p,ay!" Poland's two ranking stars
Kasimir TarloWki, % and Walen-
tky Bratek, 81, will be on the side
lines suffering from the inside
twitterS, the revolving jitters, and
all the other sensations that come
from looking on the grape too
long when it is too strong.
They started their Balkan bat
two weeks ago on the night be-
fore Poland's crucial doubles
match with Rumania. When they
arrived at the stadium in Cernau-
ii, Rumania, the were bobbing and
weaving in the best ffShing-cork
fashion. Kasimir served first, and
was unable to touch the ball with
his racquet. This drove Walentky
into gales of laughter.
As the set progressed, they grew
mora Inadequate. They bumped
into one another, tumbled into the
net. and several times sprawled
on their faces. They dropped the
ilrst set 0-6, and the crowd, sens
ing their condition, roared with
laughter.
The umpire tactifully suggest
ed to the Poles that the match be
postponed a day. This suggestion
infuriated Kasimer and Walentky
and. punctuating their remarks
with hiccoughS, they loudly de-
nounced the official.
I'VE can beat these RumanianS
in any condition" they declared.
"Lesh 60 on with thiSh matSch.
The umpire was then told by
Kasimir and Walentky where he
could go.
The umpire objected to this,
and a greensward fight was I'M
minent when representative OF
the Polish consulate in Cernauti,
who was among the spectators,
wisely stepped down from the
grandstand and intervened. With
magnificent show of diplomacy
he maneuvered the tipsy players
off the court and hurried them to
a hotel and into bed.
The Polish editors (Who prob
ably never had a hangover and
therefore didn't know it was pun
ishment enough for almost any
thing demanded suspension of
the players. Kasimir and Walentky
took the suspension notification
with one hand and ordered more
ice with the other.
The Polish stars were suspended
until January 20, 1889.
Walentky and KaSimir said this
was all right, that they were quite
sure they wouldn't feel like play
ing until that time.

Mike Jacobs Comments On Title
Bout Between Joe Louis and Farr
Veteran Promoter Thinks
the Fight Will Be Big
Society Affair
By JACK CUDDY

New York, July 22.-U.H-PrO-
moter Mike Jacobs predicted to-
day that the Joe Louis S-Tommy
Farr title bout will be the biggest
society fight" in history.
The veteran promoter and tick
ct Speculator said, never before
have I seen such an early flood
Of orders for seats from the ex-
elusive clubs and top-flight society
people. Usually the Park Avenue
and Long Island sets take plenty
of time in placing their orders,
but they're starting from scratch
this time
This battle on August 26 is still
more than a month away. And
you can't find a social claim in
the family trees or lives of either
the American Negro who is de-
Tending the world title or the
tough-looking, tough talking
Welsh coal miner who is chal-
longing. There's nothing "socisty"
about them.
But, JacibS explained, there
seems to be an abundance of
class tn the bout because of it's
international flavor and because
of Fairs title: Champion of the
British Empire" That British
Empire angle gives the bout
SWank and has stimulated unpre-
cedented interest among the blue
blooGS. Particularly because more
than 1000 BritisherS are planning
to cross the Atlantic for the
braWl. This means no end Of house
parties, lawn festivals and other
snooty affairs.
"Society'S interest in this fight
exceeds by far the social enthus-
iasm for the Dempsey Carpenter
bout back in 81" Jacobs empha-
sized. That meeting of the
ManaSSa Mauler and the French
Orchid man was tops in that
line" he said. But this bout is
certain to have even mire social
glamor."
Tickets for the Yankee stadium
tilt will go on sale Monday noon.
Prices for served seats range from
S23 to $3.50. In addition bleacher
tickets at $3.50 will be sold on
August 26. Uncle" Mike expects
the gate to approach S5OO,0OO.
Meanwhile Farr will start Sat-
urday at his camp in Long Branch
N. j. Louis is scheduled to arrive
in New York Monday and go i'm
mediately to Pompton Lakes, N. j.,
where he trained for seven pre-
vious engagements. The Brown
Bomber has been doing some
roadwork at StevenSville, Mich.
He expects to start boxing We'd
nesday or Thursday.

KEGS 1874. 1t snapped st. LOUIS
four game losing streak and New

Jack Knott, lifted for pinch
hitter in the ninth, and Bonetti
pitched for the Brown, and were
solved for 13 hits but distributed
them effectively enough to leave
the same number of Yankees
stranded ON the basepathS. Joe
DiMaggio who had hit safely in
his last % straight games. walked
once today, but failed to connect
safely in five official trips to the
plate. But rookie Tom Heinrich
continued his sensational slug
ging, rapping a homer and three
singles in four attempts. Home
runs by Hemsley and West paced
the Browns 15-hit assault off
Hadley, Makosky and Murphy.
The Detroit Tigers blasted out
19 hits, including four home runs,
to bury Boston's Red Sox, 17-4.
Hitting his 22nd four-bagger Of
the year, Hank Greenberg paced
the attack by driving in five runs.
York, Laabs and Gehringer also
homered for Detroit.
Jimmy FoxX hit his fifth round
tripper in three days for Boston.
Jake Wade held Boston to six hits.
Hal Trosky's 22nd and 23rd
homers sent the Cleveland Indians
to a 81 decision over the Phila-
deiphia Athletics. Whitlow Wyatt,
making his first start of the sea-
son for the tribe, turned the AS
back with four hits-one a homer
by Moses. Averill also clouted for
the circuit for Cleveland. Edgar
Smith permitted only eight safe
ties in losing.

'clude' Dare, Pasquotank and Cho-
wan counties. The cost o" this
set-up would be -S18;S18, in COM
parison to a cost of S21,2lO for the
original set-up for Pasquotank,
Dare, Camden and Currituck. Pas
quotank's share in the tri-county
set-up would be S3,750.00, the
same as in the other, Chowan
would be required to put up ST.
10000 and Dare would be asked
for 100000, making a total of &c.
$4,000 to be provided by the three
counties, against a total of Sl2,-
1890 to be provided by the Stale
and Federal health agencies.
The program would provide
health inspections of school chill
dren, immunization work. dental
work in the schools, sanitation
work, maternity clinics, nursing
service, programs looking to ven-
ereal disease and tuberculosis con-
troll, and several other features. It
would not provide medical care
for the INDECENT, matter which
necessarily would have to be left
with the cities and counties.
This is a preventive program,
and not q curative program" as
serted Dr.. Fox. IF we venture in
to the field of curative medicine,
we will encroach upon the field of
the private practitioner. There is
a place for our program, as well
as for the private practice of med
icine, and we must work along
with the medical profession and
they with U.S."
DR.. Fox stressed that the State
Board of Health is particularly
anxious for every county in the
State to have a full-time health
service so as to be in position to
receive the benefits of the pro-
posed $25,OOO,000 Federal cam
paign against venereal diseases
when it is launched. Any county
expecting to receive any benefits
of this program must have a full
time health service because of the
necessary follow-up work, DR.. Fox
explained.
Many questions were fired at
DR.. Fox during the Commute dis
cussion by Councilmen White and
Griggs, DR.. I. Fearing and Mayor
Jerome Flora.
The principal objections voiced
at las. nights hearing were the
fact that the taxpayers of Eliza
beth City will have to pay three
fourths of the cost Of the health
service, while the taxpayers living
in the county outside the city linn
it's will pay only one-fourth, and
the fact that adoption of this pro-
gram will not do away with the
necessity of employing a city
physician.
Sixty-five of the 100 counties of
North Carolina now have full-time
health service, DR.. Fox pointed out
last night.

against Democratic foes of the
court measure raised by indirec-
ton.
The turbulent committee session
got underway shortly after 10
A. M. Majority Leader Alben W..
Barkley, d., KY, Immediately Of
fered the administrations face
saving compromise. He suggested
that the judiciary committee re-
port out as soon as possible bill
by Rep. Hatton Summers, D.,
lex, chairman Of the house judi
ciary committee, which would
stream,ine judicial procedure.
Under Barkley's plan, foes Of
the court bill would not seek to
have it sent back to the judiciary
committee and consideration of it
would merely be set aside. The
Kentuckian said that after the
Summers bill was enacted the ad-
mlniStrationS court measure
would be withdrawn quietly.
The rebellious Democrats balk-
ed. Barkley then pleaded with
them to withhold the motion to
recommit until Monday and at
this point Garner entered the
fray, He said that upon his re-
turn from Little Rock, Ark,
where he attended the funeral of
the late Sen. joe T. Robinson, he
went to the White House and told
Mr.. RocEevelt bIuntly that the
court bill was out the window" ."
Split The Party
This thing has split the party
and has the country turned up
side down." Garner was quoted as
saying. I'VE must have party har-
mony for the country's good. You
are saying mean things about
about each other which you
shouldn't be saying"
His scarlet face a deeper hue,
his cold blue eyes swapping, the
blunt-spoken Texan said his first
thought was for his country, his
second thought was for his party
and his third for the administra-
ton. He conceded to opponents of
the bill that you have the votes
and can write your own ticket"
Sen. Pat McCarran, D., New,
vigorous foe Of the measure, de-
manded to know why Garner and
Barkley wanted the motion to re-
commit delayed until Monday
Garner interpreted such action as
a blow to the president and was
quoted as saying:
You have been frank with me
and I'll be equally frank with you.
We do not want to give the pre-
sident any kicks in the face which
we can avoid. He is still head of
the party"
McCarran interjected that delay
would give the administration a
chance to shoot at" those who
favor the motion to recommit.
Now who is going to shoot at
you?" McCarran was quoted as
replying. Il suggest that if you
will send Joe keenan, back to the
