Tete Callan will more than likely b missing from Hammond's l:neup for the next two weeks as he has been suspended for that length of time by the president of the league as a result of his attack on Vir.pire St. John in last Sunday's game with'the Gunthers. The fans will not take to this news very kindly as many of them seem to think that Pete was fully Justified In doing what he did. Thre Is no question but what Callan Inst his head at the time, but when these who were present at the game stop to consider the rankness of the decision handed against the Hammond team, they feet that Pete was not wholly to blame far petting'.peeved enough to want to fightat such a critical stage of the game. At any rate the league head listened to Kegel's p!eading6 at Monday night's meeting and did notsee fit to award the game to the Gunthers by forfeit as was decided by the umpires. Instead, the game will be played over at the Gunther park, on August I"th. a week from next Sunday. The biggest crowd that ever accompanied a Hammond baseball team out of the city lsexpected to make the trip. With Callan out the lineup for next Sunday has not been definitely decided although it is thought that Cronin will flay In left field and also Rhode may go

Fred Clarw. who won pennants with the Pirates of 1301. '02. "05 and '0?. was an outfielder through and through, and one of the best outfieldtrs the National League ever had. He had the managerial ability, there's no doubt about that, but he also had some wonderful ball players on his team. Fielder Jones, who led the "White Sox to the American League championship In 1906. is the other manager in question. The fielder piloted the famous and original "Hitless Wonders" but after one success his glory faded and when he tried to come back as manager of the St. Louis Browns after a short fling at managing in the Federal League, he met with his retirement from the White Sox.

The fact that these two

have been the only men appointed man

do Just as well as a player In some other position when it comes to managing a club. It is a fact that a majority of successful major league managers have been catchers. and that pitchers have failed consistently to surceed as managers. The question regarding the capability of the average outfielder as a manager may be answered by Tris Speaker, the new manager of the Indians, or Gavvy Cravath. who recently succeeded Jack Coombs as pilot of the Phillies. Here are two slugging outfielders, both vet-

outfielders j erans, both great hitters, who have play

ROGER HORNSEY A- CO. took the Giants' measure for a fine trimming and delivered i. the same day. New York couldn't solve Jake Mays' slow ball delivery. WAITE HOYT, nineteen, won his second game for the Ked Sox in as many starts, by getting credit for a victory over Cleveland. DAVEY ROBERTSON got tnjo his first game with the Cubs, but his presence failed to bring Mitchell's men luck. Dick Rudolph gave the Cubs but one

THE Phillies are pulling further away from the cellar. Lee Meadows pitched another victory for them at Pittsburgh, cutting out tho Pirates with five hits. BERN'l E ROLAND and Walter John
