Stoneham Will % Jr . . Be Requested to Quit Giants ^ National' League to Ask New York National's President to Politely Sell His In terest in Club. By DAVtS VJ. WALStl By International News Hervlee. EW YORK, Sept. 6. — Charles A . Stonehnm, presi dent of the New York Giants, who is under indictment for alleged com plicity i n local bucket shop scan dals, is to be po litely requested by t h e N,a t i o n a 1 league to sell his controlling interest n the Giants and retire from base lt>all, according to 'i report today. It is said that ganized baseball has arrived at the conclusion that Stoneham’s connec tion with the game is no longer com patible with its desires, in view of re cent disclosures. John Heydler him self has been quoted as saying that the publicity given Stoneham in the bucketshop investigations was "very embarrassing to the National league.” As to the allegation that he owns more than one hall club In the Na tional league, his detractors point to the fact that simultaneously with Stonehatn's purchase of the Giants, George Washington Grant bought the Boston Braves. The significance of the dual purchaso Is raid to he wrapped around the alleged fact that Grant not only had a desk In Stone ham's office but lacked the means to swing such a transaction. , Bast winter. Grant announced the sale of the club, but this hardly stilled the wagging tongues. It was pointed out immediately, In fact, that the purchasers, were Christy Mathewson, 00 famous as a pitcher with the old Giants, and Judge Emil Fuchs, who is said to have been Stoneham’s per sonal attorney. The brief against Stoneham and his alleged interest in the Braves was fur ther augmented by many trades of playing material between the Giants and the Braves. At a critical moment in last year's pennnant race the Giants were in dire need of pitchers. The transfer of Jflhh Scott and Hugh McQuillan was effected almost immediately and they not only pitched the club Into the pennant, but took a leading part in the defeat of the Yankees in the world series. This season t. battery was In demand at the Polo grounds because McGraw's pitchers were fal tering and Catcher Frank Snyder had slowed down to a walk. Pitcher John Watson and Gadehe.r Hank Gowdy ar rived here from Boston, pronto. In addition, Eatl Smith and Jesse Barnes incurred McGraw's displeas ure during the spring training. He declared he would punish them and he did hy shifting them from a chronic champion, the Giants to a chronic tail-ender,' the Bravos.

Luque Has Many Freak Records In this mad and frenzied year of baseball, when one athlete and then another defies the law of nature or achieves the things regarded as im possible, one figure stands alone and aloof in the matter of startling ac complishment. It's that of Adolfo Luque, slinging attache of the Rhineland staff. A year ago this Cuban hurler estab lished a record unique and peculiar in the annals of the game. And this year he threatens to establish an other one—of the reverse nature. In 1922 Luque won only 1,3 out of 36 combats. In his first 10 starts of 1923 he triumphed on nine occasions and has been hurling well since. But here is the strange feature: In 1922 Luque pitched more airtight baseball than he has so far this year —fanned more men, permitted fewer earned runs per game and had greater control than he has shown ^in 1923. If there is such a thing as a jinx or a hooboo, then all the Jinxes and hoodoos which circulate this sphere trailed and then foiled the Cuban a season ago. If it hadn't been for a season of the toughest breaks a pitcher ever got, Luque, instead of finishing that year with 13 won and. 13 lost, would have won at least 26 of his 36 starts.

The season on ducks in this state opens Sunday, September 16. Only little over a week off. Already sporting good stores In Omaha report a large sale of hunting licenses. One store reported yesterday that It has sold more than 2,000 licenses and the season doesn’t open until Septem ber 16. It closes the last day of De cember. Ducks wllj be plentiful this sea son, say reports from the country. There has been plenty of water in the lakes, sloughs and streams this summer, all of which goes to make extra fine feeding grounds for the feathered flock. Ducks do not start to fly south ward until it gets cold up north, but there is always a flock of early arrivals and every now and then a stranger or two get down in this vicinity early in the season, as sort of an advance agent of what is coin ing. Along with the opening of the sea son on ducks, gceBc, brants and coots comes the opening of the squir rel season. They can be killed be tween September 16 and December 31. A hunting and fishing licence for residents of Nebraska costs $1. Get out the old gun, boots and hunting clothes, for the duck season will soon be upon us.
