Ousting Removal of Treasurer Is Linker! With Trade of Hornsby. DISSENSION THREATENS Actions of Stoneham Responsible, Rumors Say. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May 4.—One of the most capable and colorful bail clubs John J. McGraw ever collected may be stopped short in its pennant dash by internal dissension, not among the players, but among the owners. Out in Cincinnati today, the New York Giants were preparing to meet the Reds in the opening game of an important four-game series, while in New York Judge Francis X. McQuade, ousted treasurer of the club, was preparing to carry his fight against President Charles A. Stoneham to the courts. After holding office as treasurer of the Giants for nine years, McQuade suddenly was deposed much after the fashion Rogers Hornsby was shipped to the Braves. Like the Hornsby trade McQuade’s removal was “iri the interests of harmony.” Opposed Beals The mysterious trading of Hornsby somehow is linked with the McQuade incident, it is felt in well-informed baseball circles. Just how and why no one seems to know at present. McQuade is known to have opposed both the Hornsby deal and the trade which sent Burleigh Grimes to Pittsburgh for Vic Aldridge. From several sources have come the information that McGraw is manager of the Giants in name only, and that Stoneham rules the ’Little Napoleon” with a mailed first. Some truth may be attached to this statement in view of the fact Stoneham has been with the Giants constantly since the season opened. Started Last Y'ear The trouble which led to the trading of Hornsby, the ousting of McQuade and which threatens to involve McGraw, is said to have started in Pittsburgh toward the close of the 1927 season. McGraw at that time was ill and Hornsby was managing the Giants. The night after 1 * the Giants lost the first game of a five-game series to the Pirates, Stoneham is said to have called Hornsby to his room and criticised his handling of the team. Hornsby refused to abide by Stoneham’s demands, and was supported by McQuade and later it is said by McGraw. The result apparently is that Stoneham did away with Hornsby and McQuade.

New King of Speed Plans 500-Mile Try Keech, Holder of World's Sprint Mark, Seeks * Car for Race. Another dirt *track race driver, Ray Kcech of Philadelphia, who gained fame on the Florida sands by piloting a 36-cylinder car for an average of 207.55 miles an hour to set up anew world's speed record, will be seen at the wheel in the 500-mile race here. May 30. Keech arrived in Indianapolis Thursday and visited the Speedway. It was there he announced he was ready to try his prowess in the fivecentury grind and today it was made known that he probably will land in the seat of a Stutz or Duesenberg. Keech brought the straightaway auto speed record back to America at Daytona Beach, where Frank Lockhart met death trying for the honor. After a few days here, Keach will go to Philadelphia and then return for the international sweepstakes. About seven cars were to be on the local track today for practice spins and it wijui’t be long before there will be plenty of action at the plant. The practice season opened “officially” Thursday when Leon Duray’s gang defeated Lou Wilson's team, 17 to 0, in baseball played with an “outdoor-indoor” ball. The drivers and mechanics get much amusement out of the rivalry tilts.

Pyle Gets Land Yacht Back Again By T’nited Prefix JOLIET, 111., May 4 — C. C. Pyle, promoted extraordinary, regained possession of his palatial parlor-auto-car today, and settled down with a sigh cf relief in its luxurious fittings. Pyle had to resort to more plebeian methods of travel for the last few days, because citizens of Champaign, 111., got out an attachment on the land yacht, for debts. Today bond was furnished by the real owners of the car. It wasn’t the promoter’s discomfort which worried the runners, however. It was the possibility that maybe, with the car attached and Pyle facing debts, there might not be any prize money for the winners when they saunter into New York. However, all is well, now. Pyle has his car, the runners have been assured again that prize money will be forthcoming, and these persons who say Pyle owes them money have a large bond posted to assure his appearance either to contest the debts or to pay them.

Thursday’s hero: Ed Morns, rookie right-hander oi the Boston Red Sox, who let the Philadelphia Athletics down with four hits, stopping Connie Mack’s club at seven straight victories. The Red Sox got only six hits off Ossie Orwoll, but they were enough to give Boston a victory, 3 to 1. Cobb’s double in the seventh .as the first hit off Morris, and only one man, Cochrane on a walk, reached first in the first six innings. The Eddies—Brown and Farrell — accounted for the Boston Brave’s 5 to 4 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates in the opening intersectional game in the National League. Brown started the eleventh with a single, advanced on Bell's sacrifice and scored on Farrell’s single.
