Shrimps climb back to condition fo‘lowed a happy meeting with Frank Hantke, assistant-trainer for New York Americans. At the end of ire hockey season both of them Yravitated to the World's Fair and found themselves working for Bill "rant, owner of the Kansas City Blues, who was in charge of one of the Fair's bus systems.

After a iew davs watching the Shtimp e0 about his chores, Hanike decided he was "a bit fat but far from washed up."

Shrim-i agreed to train during his off hours under Hantke's su- pervision and Grant chipped into the plan with a promise of a try- out for McPherson if he got to work seriously.

(St. Dunstan ’s Leave This Haney Again Morning For Games With

To Manage Brownies

8T. 101173. Oct. 13 —(AP)) — The secretary and a director of St. Louis Browns resigned today at a board meeting which ended with an announcement that a. vote of confidence had been taken in the American Baseball league Club's officers and that Fred Haney, al- ready siened a contract, would manage the team again in i040.

George C Foster, secretary oi

the Club, and James R, Kearney withdrew from the board, appuent- 1y as a result of dissatisfaction with the team's recent disastrous season, in which the Browns lost 111 games. President Donald L Barnes em- erged from the meeting retaining the full control of the team that had been his since a group of pro- minent St. Inuisans nurchased the Browns from the Phil Ball Estate for $325000 in November, 1936.

Describing the meeting as “con- structive and hampnious," Barnes said the directors unanimously adopted a resolution expressing their “appreciation for the untiriz-ig efforts of the management and a vote of confidence and cooperation was unanimously passed."

Earlier this week there were re- ports that some directors would de- mand a reorganization of the Clua, including the resirrnaiion of Wil- liam O. Dewitt. Vice-President and general manager and the dismissal oi Haney.

Barnes said Dewitt and Haney would retain their respective posi-

tions wiih the Club. i
