THE PHILADELPHIA MORNING, AUGUST 10. 1921 ild Bill Donovan Is Ousted As Manager of the Phillies, But Draws-His Pay HE REMAINS ILTLJCIKY SCHOOLBOY HURLER LIFTS SPOKE'S SCALP PROMOTERS TO GIVE BUCK TICKET MONEY Taylor and Gunnis Agree Prospects of Leonard-Tendler Bout Are Small Beaten by Schoolboy aaatfitv irw Landis Asks Meusel Regarding Conditions in the Phils Club CHICAGO, Aujr. 9. EMIL MEUSEL, formerly captain of the Phillies and recently traded to New York, declared today after a conference with Judge Landis, High -Commissioner of that the latter had quizzed him regarding conditions on the Philadelphia National League Club. This was only one of the questions, howerer, which the Judge put to Irish.

One of the others was to compel him to reply as to whether or not he had played indifferently while captain of thePhils, and whether or not he had deliberately laid down in order that he migfyt be traded. Meusel was asked to explain many things, and finally received the official K. of the Judge. The Commissioner also quizzed him about the attitude of the players and management and reasons for the combined defeats of the Phillies. The Judge, according to Meusel, a1w wanted to know just how many games had been lost immediately, prior to Meusel's suspension.

Meusel said later that he had told of the intolerable conditions in Philadelphia. RUSIE SAYS OLD HURLERS AS GOOD AS PRESENT PITCHERS BY JOE VILA (Copyright, 1921.

The score was 7 to 4. Ring finally gave way at the end of the third to Sedgwick, who displayed much" better form than yesterday, setting the Reds down in easy fashion for the remainder of the afternoon. Donohue had little trouble with the tailenders except in the third, fourth and fifth innings. Otherwise he breezed along in good style.

Not a run was registered in the game the first three innings. The Indians opened up on Freeman in the first round as if they itended to make a slaughter of Mack's youngster. In the third round, however, things were different. Tilly Walker flew out. Johnny Walker hit to Sewell.

who booted the ball and then threw wild to rirt. Johnstone rei-orered the ball and made another wild throw to second. So. Johnny went to third. Perkins fouled out.

and then Welch parted a three-bagger right centre that wrapped itself around Smith's feet. Duzan flew out. but the Macks had scored a run. The Macks forged another run ahead the sixth when Tillie Walker lifted the ball into the bleachers. In the seventh Freeman walked both Smith and Oardner.

which was his only real sign of wobbling during the game. Sewell then came through with hit through short and the bases were tilled. I'p to that inning the Indian clubmen were taking quick smashes at the ball, but in the seventh they waited the pitcher out and probably that caused him to worry ine. Johnston WJS the next batter and he hit a short flv to Witt. "White" was too iiluch a Imrrv to throw home- to -atch he 4 ball and he muffed it.

Naturally watclieil um wrk of the pitchers with unusual interest ami at the enn-elusion nf tho cfimhat lie ventured the opinion that the strategy of the crack box men in the old days had not been improved upon by the modem sharpshooters. Veteran fans probably will agree with Ilusie that, with the exception of Christy Mathewson. Walter Johnson. tJrover Cleveland Alexander and a few others, no big league pitcher ever has excelled the memorable achievements of Tim Keefe. John Clarkson and Charley fjadbourne.

Yet Rusie. in his prime, was a greater pitcher than any righthander developed by the National League from its birth in lTfi until Amos broke in as a member of the Iu-dianapolis team in Rusie, a genuine Hoosier, tves discovered by the late John T. Brush's scouts while pitching at his home in Muncie, I nd and as soon as Brush engaged him he displayed superlative quality. His catcher was Dick Buckley, gray-haired and thickset, who soon taught him the fine points of battery work. In Ml lirush sold the best of the Indianaf-olis players to John I.

Rusie. more than six feet tall and weighing pounds, quickly jumped into popular favor here by pitching many superb Having natural skill, the big Hoosier held the enemy in check with a wonderful assortment of speed and curves over which he exercised almost perfect control. His curve ball, incidentally was the widest and quickest ever seen in the National League, and at the end of the 1890 campaign he ivjs generally considered the best right-hander in baseball. Keefe Taught Him Slow Ball The ami the New York brotherhood team were consolidated in ami Rusie found himself associated with Keefe and Mickey Welch, whose splendid pitching had figured in the winning of two pennants and two world championships for New York in vs and ssi, Keefe soon became friend and adviser.

He taught the famous Hoosier how to deliver a slow ball, with the result that when Rusie mastered of pace" he became even more effective than during his first year in fast -onipany. Rusie'! control was marvelous. If he gave more than two bases on balls and failed to strike out five or six batsmen the critics used to say that he was "off his form." At his best, the younp giant from Indiana frequently pitched two, three and four-hit rames and often electrified the fans at the I'olo Grounds by striking out the heaviest batsmen with sweeping curves which he sent across the heart of the plate with tremendous speed.

Instead Kill must mooch around the paymaster twice a month and draw his 'heck, the same as the other hirelings on the permanent payroll are compelled to do. Wild Kill, who appealed his case Judge I.andis. did not appear at the olTi.es of the Phillies in the Iteal Ks-tate Trust Kuilding yesterday to meet President Kaker. The latter had returned the day before from a motor trip through the State of Vermont, and after breathing the ozone of the well-known Creen Mountains was full of pep and punch.

As exclusively printed in The Inquirer several days ago Donovan had received a in Knffalo last wek in which lie was ordered to appear at the club offices and resign, or be fired summarily. Cnder the conditions Kill evidently figured that a journey to this city of no benefit to him. so he ignored Kaker entirely and let the matter slide. Issues Statement After waiting the allotted hour and finding no Smiling Kill on hand to sign "the papers on the dotted line, the club president issued the following statement, which makes everything clear as the Silesian problem: "William Donovan's activities with the Philadelphia National League Club for the balance of the seascn are limited to the endorsement of his pay every two weeks, provided, however, that no rules of organized baseball are broken by him." leaker's attention was called to the enigma contained in the last few terse words and asked to jllumine the utterance so that it might be readily understandable to the naked eye. He smiled, however, and said that the statement talked for itself.

Informed that it did. but it seemed to be spouting Choctaw, the president refused to go further into the matter. Keep Away 'Tis Better "Does that mean that Donovan must appear at the ball park every day?" inquired the reporter. "It does not" was the emphatic answer of Baker. "The further Dill Donovan stays away from the ball park the better off I think the Phillies will be." "What's he fired for?" was the next question.

"I think the time has come to make a change. I do not think that Bill Donovan is disciplin arian enough for a baseball manager. Personally he is a splendid chap, a most likeable man. But as a baseball manager he does not rate in my judgment. He is no man to handle youngsters just breaking into baseball." Further than these few brief references.

Kaker refused to discuss Dono-Tan. other than to say that the dough would be ready for him twice a month, -and that Wilhelm would be in charge of the club for the present and possibly fvrtbe balance of the season. (Goldie Rapp III "Wilhelm has done wonders with the Phils since the rime he assumed charge. although it was the trades that Donovan nginccred with the Giants that gave the cellarets the material with which to win a ball game occasionally. Shortly before the fall of Donovan it was announced that Joldie Rapp, the brilliant third baseman of the club, would be lost for the remainder of the season.

He is confined to his home in Cincinnati suffering from an attack of chronic appendicitis. He will remain there when the Phils pack up for Boston.

This youthful sou of the West was Harvey Freeman, and because It is name was Freeman he was promptly named Muck, on the ground that everybody whose name is Hennessey not only carries three stars, but must he Spike. Yesterday young Mister Freeman walked out there on the mound in Shibe Park, with a smile on his face, a cap perched at a nasty angle on his bean, and a good old baseball in his hand, and he made the world's champions from Cleveland look as if they liad checked their base hits outside the grounds. This kid.

fresh from school and clean from Kazoo not only scalped Speaker And his crew, but he hurled as nifty an article of the baseball game" as one eyes out there at Shibe l'ark these Rooters on hand the whole dozen of "em thought that Connie was handing the contest right to the braves from Iake Erie whn he announced that Freeman would hurl the horsehide. but everybody who laughed at the kid was pounding his old lists later, and saying that he would do. Outside of swirling a few nasty curves, shooting aloDg a deep and dizzy fast one and hitting the high spot with all the nerve and courage in the world, this Michigander didn't have a thing except victory tightly clutched in his good right wing. This was the lirst full game in which Freeman appeared before the bugs on the old home heath, and after yesterday's performance he can have the hat of' Bill Penn and stake out his lot in Fairiiiount l'ark. So.

Herman, known also alng the length and breadth of the Kialto as th By Promoter. addel that in ihis he was taking no chances with fake duikets. "We'll pay off everybody who grants their money back," he said, "and that will stop any of the crooks from getting phony tickets printed and swamping us with the bogus affairs." As a further indication that the promoters do not believe thore i much chance of staging the original bout. Taylor said last right that he would try to sign Hp Johnny Dundee to batle with Tendler at a special all-star show August 24. No Idea for Date Tavlnr was frank enough to state that he had nt th slightest idea when the right would be held.

In fact he admitted that he wa as much in the ir as anybody, for Billy Gibson, manager the champion, had informed him that there was 110 certainty as to when Leonard would be able to use his mangled thumb again for assault and battery purposes. "Cibson toW me he didn't know when Leonard would be ready to fight," said Herman, "and for that reason we are decided to go ahead the way we hare started. If Leonard gets around in shape by the time the open air season is on (lunnis and myself will handle the fight. Leonard is signed to give me the first match whenever he is able to scrap." Lew Tendler frannJy states that he doesn't believe tbat one of the tribe of Benjamin want to ho him. Further-miore Lew says that if Leonard did get into the resined arena with hirn he would knock him for a row of Batavian bungalows.

To Claim Title "I'm going to claim the light weight championship, said Tendler yesterday, as he chatted over the fistic and financial disappointment with Don Felipe Classman, his pal and the Boy Manager. "I'm going to claim it because I don't think that Leonard can make the weight." h- added. "1 can lick him. and he knows it. I was all primed to throw old Mary Ann at that baby in Friday night.

Miu-e I kissed him with that old southpaw lie wouldn't know anything until they brought him to in the club house. "I chased that gi' around for a couple of years trying to get a light, and just vln'ii that fish is landed h- busts his thumb. lie wants none of my game. He knows it and I know it. I was all primed to knock him anil when Muggsy Taylor told me that it was off 1 was ready to inhale dollar's worth of gas or take a hop into ihe Delaware." Benny Laughs and Laughs Mister B.

Leonard, as one might well wot. does not take kindly to the manicr in which Lewis sat he ould rock him and sM-k ami him for a row Chinese roundabouts. In his New York gloo toting the maimed and wounde digit around in a sling that looked as big as a balloon. Benny laughed long, loudly and lastingly at Lew's claim to his crown. "He claims the title, does ejaculated Benjamin, of the mangled mauler.

"Iff claims the title does he?" Ha! ha! ha! Hoi ho', ho! It's lucky my lip isn't hurt so that 1 can laugh. i SouthworthVTripIe Gives Braves Victory ST. I.011S. Auc. 9 Siithwt.rtli" trifle with the fell in the seventh innine cava BoMoa tlie victory in the tinal carue Ue series with St.
