ROGER HORNSBY DEPOSED AS MANAGER

For Good Of The Team!

MANAGED THE CARDINALS

St. Louis, July 21.

Donald L. Barnes, president of the St. Louis Browns, to-day an- nounced that Manager Rogers Hornsby had been relieved of his duties effective to-day. Barnes said the action was taken for the good of the Browns.”

The president of the American League baseball club said Horns- by's contract, which ran through the 1938 season, was so written it could be "broken at the discretion of the club."

Jim Bottomley, coach and reserve first baseman, was named acting manager.

Com-

Hornsby would make no ments, declaring, “It have nothing to say.”

He added, however, that he had no immediate plans since ît was probably too late in the season to make another connection.

LEAGUER IN 1935 The former National League second baseman, who led the cir cuit in hitting for seven consecu- tive seasons, became manager of the Browns in 1935, succeeding | Wade Killifer. He has had only mediocre success with the team. High hopes had been held for this year's squad, under the impetus of new owners, led by Barnes, but the team played poorly.

LOU

FOUIS

Rogers Hornsby (right), prominent figure in baseball for years, has been dismissed-as. manager of the St. Louis Browns. His place has been taken by Jim Bottomley, Browns veteran first sacker, shown in a joking mood with Hornsby in this picture.
