The Cards -won the morning game and loat the afte-roon battle, after a bard fight.

"Hornsby was raging. He is not the player who can hum and whistle after defeat. Preadon called on Rogers, and found him 1n a wretched frame of mind after losing that battle. Breadon" told him he could not cancel exhibition games In the East, and Hornsby expressed his opinion of the policy in biting words, cutting down Breadon to the site of an emaciated ant. Hornsby kept up the attack for days after.

It la said Breadon later informed Hornaby he must stop his attacks on the club'a policy. "When 127 rolled around came the memorable conference between Hornsby and Breadon. in which Rogers was told what the club had to offer him In the way of terms and what was expected of him In the way of submitting to club discipline. Hornsby would have none of it and big trade to New York followed. "The sooner ball players realize the club cwners are running the game the better it will be for the game and the players.
