GEORGE REED MAY

White-Clad Skipper Will Linger

Decatur, 111., July 22. Will George
Reed remain In Decatur next year?
is the question that hundreds of fans
are asking every day. While no nego
tiations have been begun by the offi
cials of the local club with Reed for
next year, at the present time, it is
possible that Reed will resume the
managership next season, or else will
take over entire charge .of the club.
That is, however, if the fans of De
catur show their appreciation of his
services and endeavors by turning out
at the games, anci supporting the
team.
Reed can not be expected to return
to Decatur, if the team is not sup
ported, as there is no doubt that he
will receive offers from a number of
other clubs and some in faster com
pany than Decatur. For instance, the

a hurried visit to the Cub offices in

club physician, and had his foot ex
amined. Dr. .Davis expects to get Zim
back into the lineup in a short time,
as there seems to be nothing very
serious amiss with the injured mem
ber. Heine spent the remainder of
the afternoon at White Sox park, con
gratulating himself that there was no

Reed had charge of the Portland

favorable impression that he is agaTa

There is no question but that Reed
would like to return to Decatur pro

city may well boast of. In the race

slump and can not be expected to win
all of their games. Decatur has passed
that stage, and from the work of the
team in the past three games, it looks
like a straight run up the ladder.
The team is too good' to remain down

cy defeated Danvtlle by the score of
13-12, the game being played on the
Soldiers' Home grounds, which are
in such shape that no good ball play
ing is possible. The teams go through
the performance because the home
pays the DanVille club a certain sum
for 10 gamesa season. Danville pro
tested this game, according to press
reports, because of a ruling- by Um
pire Cusack.
The league constitution provides
that, whenever a game is protested,
formal notice of the protest shall be
given to the club which would Buffer
by having the game thrown out, with
the reasons given by the protesting
club. The other club shall then with
in 10 days furnish cause why the
game 6hould not be thrown out and. if
this cannot be' done, the president
is to "declare the contest no game."
No notice that a protest had been
filed on this game was ever received
by the local association. A few weeks
ago when Umpire Cusack made his
first visit to Quincy, he was asked
whether the game really had been pro
tested. Mr. Cusack said that the offi
cial scorer had entered a protest, but
that this had been ignored, as there
were no grounds for a protest. He
had the correspondence covering the
case in his grip as a curiosity. He
also said that, if the game had been
thrown out, he as well as the local
association wculd have been informed,
but added that no such action would
be taken because no protest could be
made on the reasons assigned by the
Danville sport writer.
Saturday afternoon somebody by the
name of Frankenberger of the. Dan
ville Commercial-News called up Pres
ident G. A. Urban over the long dis
tance telephone and read to him a i
telegram, which he claimed was from
President Tearney, allowing the pro
test. Naturally Mr. Urban refused to
deal with the party at the other end
of the wire. If such information was
true, it was to come from Presi
dent Tearney and not from some one
who was not known to be identified
even with the Danville club, and sit
ing the whole thing up as a bluff, Mr.
Urban wired Manager Kahl not to
play any but the scheduled game.
Yesterday afternoon the wires
brought the news that Quincy had
won one game 13-2 and that another
had been forfeited to Danville, 9-0.
While the forfeited game has been
added to the lost games in Quincy's
standing, it has been done only to
keep the standing straight with the
rest in the league until the matter is
officially explained. The forfeit can
not stand because Quincy has Mr.
Tearney's refusal to notify the mat
ter of that protest to the Quincy club

right at the start and, do as they may,
the Sox could not get back to an even
footing in the ensuing rounds.
The fact that Callahan's athletes
scored only a lone run and gave vent
to only four hits was due to the pres

simply celebrating his close escape
from the Lake Michigan undertow
while enjoyins a swim with several of
his mates Sunday. Walter felt so good

Chicago, July 22. Clarence Smith,
the White Sox pitcher, who ran away
from his own yard Sunday morning
and pitched the Coulon Athletics to
victory over the Matheison Colts, is
open to a fine or suspension if the na
tional commission takes up his case.
That Smith was the mysterious "un
known" was made a certainty yes
terday when Manager Callahan of
the Sox pulled the recruit, up on the '
.carpet and asked him lot the truth in
the matter. Smith didn t deny-pitching
the game, but pointed to his rec
ord against the Washington team the
same afternoon. After relieving White,
he pitched four innings without a hit
or pass. The stunt worked by Smith
is common among big leaguers, espe
cially in the East, where no, league
games are played on Sunday. It is
simply a case of getting oaught or not
getting caught.

wallops in three rounds put the Cubs
in front in the wind-up here yesterday,
