according to W. A. Rourke who re

where he completed the transaction
and scouted around for new material
for histeam. Fuhr is a southpaw.
The sale of Fuhr to the Cubs will
bring to an end a service of more
than two seasons v with the Omaha
club. Starting at the first if the
1918 season, Fuhr hurled good ball
for the Rourkes and during that
-playing year was considePed by
big league scouts to be one twirler
in the Western league, that if given
experience would soon climb to the
majors. '
At the start of the present1 season
Fuhr was amonif the first to report.
He is a steadv consistent aitcher.
and although at times he gets "rat
tled" the Omahan . is capable of
twirling major league ball, diamond
critics declare. - Fuhr was in the
army during the war and when dis
charged had reached the . rank of
lieutenant.
Fuhr will finish ihe season with
the local club, reporting to the
Chicago Cubs at the start of spring
training next year
Rourke's deal with the Cubs in
cludes a cash payment and two
players to be delivered to the Omaha
club in the winter. These olavers
must oe satisiactory to Kourke.

Trickster In Ball In Report
Boston, Aug. 13. The explanation
by Carl Mays of the New York
Americans that the killing of Ray
Chapman, star shortstop of Cleve
land, was due to a ough spot on
the ball Mays pitched which caused
it to take an unexpected twist, was
the subject of a statement today by
Umpires William Evans arid Wil
liam Dinneen of the American
league.
"No pitcher in the American
league resorted to trickery more
than Carl Mays in attempting to
rough a ball in order to get a break
on it which would make it more dif
ficult to hit," the -statement said.
"Until the new pitching rules came
into force which put a severe penalty
on a pitcher roughing the ball. Mays
constantly, used to drag the ball
across the pitching rubber in order
to roughen the surface. Hundreds
of balls were thtown out every year
because of this act."
The umpires took' notice of a re
mark attributed to 'Mays that Um
pire TJiomag Connolly, who was be
hind the plate, was respons'ble for
the-accident because he permitted a
roughvba'l to stay in the game. The
umpires characterized h's alleged
statement as an alibi" that came
with poor grace. ' -
"A short time' ago," they added,
'the club owners complau.ed to
President Johnson that too many
balls were being thrown out. Presi
dent Johnson sent out a bulletin tell
ing the umpires to keep the balls in
the games as much as possible, ex
cept those which were 'dangcroos."
The players of the Boston and
Detroit, clubs who were at the point
yesterday of signing a petition, to
have Mav3 banned- from the game.
today awaited word from Manager
Speaker ot the Cleveland club as to
his views on their proposed action.
Several asserted that regardless of
any general action, they would not
go to bat against Mays again.

from constipation and" dizzy spells
and also had such pains across the

stoop over. Finally I 4ccame so
weak I could not walk arognd the
house and, in fact, could hardly
get in and out of bed.
"But the first bottle of Tanlac
made me feel better and I soon had

anything I wanted without it dis
