CHICAGO, Oct. 2. - A grief

The veteran is Fred Caruso, %,

because of conviction for larceny
after his return from Europe two

Caruso is in Illinois Neuropsychia-

sons misconduct was the result of
the tumor.
Caruso was convicted of larceny

and Caruso was sent to the neuro-

Doctors said the tumor Is at the
base of the brain and cannot be

In an effort to ascertain if HIS
physical condition may have i'm

the Peoria escapade, the Army is
rushing Caruso's files from WASH

Browns Rookie
Realizes Dream
Against Yonks
By the Associated Press

ST. LOUIS. July 28.-Rookie
Hank Arft, like thousands of
American boys, always dreamed
of crashing the major leagues
and taking on the role of hero
in his first game. For ART that
dream has come true.
Arft played his first major
league game yesterday with the
st. Louis Browns against the
New York Yankees, and when
the game was over Arft was no
stranger to either team. He drove
in three runs with a triple and
home run to lead the Browns to
a 40 victory. Arft had arrived
yesterday from Toledo to take
over the regular first-base duties
of Chuck Stevens, who was sold
to the Browns San Antonio farm
club in the Texas League.
Stevens had batted $50 this
year in IS games. He played
with the Browns in 1916, was
with Toledo last year and re-
turned to st. Louis this spring.

PHILADELPHIA, July %. -
Eddie Sawyer, who never made
the grade as player, came up
to the majors last night as the
Philadelphia Phillies' pilot-and
liked what he saw.
Eddie's debut as a big league
manager was somewhat marred
by the Phils' 80 defeat at the
hands of the Chicago Cubs in an
thinning ball game.
The loss, however, apparently
didn't serve to dampen Sawyer's
spirits.
I'VE played good ball." he said.
IF we keep playing the same
kind of ball, well do all right"
"Of course" the Phils' mana
ger continued, you can't judge
a team after one game, but I
liked what I saw. We made
some mistakes and we had a cou-
pie of bad breaks, but Leonard
(Phils' hurler Dutch Leonardo
pitched good enough ball to win"
Sawyer said he has no imme-
diate plans for shifting the Phil
lies lineup from its present
makeup. Nor does he have any
radical personnel changes in
mind for the present at least.
I'm satisfied for the time be-
ing" he said.

Austin, who claims no diploma in

regaining control.
There is not the slightest doubt"
Feller said, that Austin helped me
in 1887. Before 1 went to him my
elbow hurt every time 1 threw the
ball He popped something and
within "a hours I was as good as
ever was"
But Feller insists his arm Is not
ailing at present.

|Layoif Penalty Levied
by League Will Cost
Umpire About $500
By Burton Hawkins
Stor Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, July 28.-Umpire Bill
MCGOWAN today was suspended for
10 days without pay by President
VIII Harridge of the American
League after an investigation OF
McGowan's conduct during the
and-Washington and Chicago
Washington games at Washington
July Is and 10.
Harridge said his investigation
showed that charges made by Man
ager Joe Kuhel of the Mats have
been substantiated."
The veteran umpire was charged
with throwing a baseball, also his
balls and strikes indicator, at Wash
| ington players and using improper
language.
One More Day to Go.
MCGOWAN has been under suSpen-
sion since July 20, so actually his
penalty has only one more day to
60. Actual dates of the suspension
are from July 20 through July 20.
and MCGOWAN will be eligible to re-
sumo his regular assignments on
| Friday. 1t is estimated that 1t Will
cost MCGOWAN about $500.
Harridge made the following
statement:
After a thorough investigation
I find the charges filed against
William MCGOWAN for his conduct
and use of bad language on the bail
field at Washington have been
substantiated.
TT is regrettable that an umpire
should have been involved in a sit
uation of this kind because he is
the leagues representative on the
ball field clothed with absolute au-
thority and should at all times
realize and appreciate his RESPONSE
bility to baseball.
II acted as I would have If the
situation be reversed and similar
charges had been made by an UNI
pire against player"
Accused of Bad Language.
MCGOWAN was accused Of using
improper language at both Ray
Scarborough and Ed Stewart OF the
Mats during the Cleveland series,
and also of hurting his strikes and
balls indicator at Scarborough dur
ing the Chicago series.
Informed of the suspension, Presi-
dent Clark Griffith Of the Washing
ton club said he was in agreement
with Harridge's action and state
ment. "Umpires should be under
the same discipline as players, prob
ably even more so, and there should
be some penalty if they get out of
line" Griffith said Ballplayers have
to behave themselves on the field.
and the umpires should set them an
example.
IT thing the Washington players
had cause for complaint this time;
that's why I let them file then COM
plant. A Today suspension seemed
adequate in this case. didn't want
to see MCGOWAN fired or anything
like that, because he's one Of the
best, and a Today suspension will
show every body-the umpires and
players alike-that they have to
conduct themselves like gentlemen"
