Other Indians May Face Ban
SPOKANE, July 5—More Spokane Indians might be suspended by the Western International League aftera near riot in Wenatchee Saturday night, president Bob Abel indicated.
Umpire Max Skulik gave the game to Wenatchee in a forfeit.
Abel said in an interview with the Chronicle that he was investigating a report that Paul Zaby, Spokane outfielder, chased one umpire with a bat and that another kicked umpire Roscoe Flammia in the back.
Abel wired Manager Jim Brillheart of Spokane asking for a full report on the incident. He said he already had a report from Wenatchee.
Jack Calvey, Spokane shortstop, was suspended immediately after the game. Abel declined to say how long Calvey might be suspended, but declared “it will not be any week or ten-day suspension.”
Abel said he probably will visit Wenatchee to get further details of the game.

Fred Haney Has Reason to Change Numbers
By The Associated Press
HOLLYWOOD, July 5—Manager Fred Haney of the Hollywood Stars in the Pacific Coast league has had his telephone number chanced and made private.
“I didn't mind genius advice up to midnight,” he explained, “but I finally got fed up with those
four a. m. calls from drunks and insomnia sufferers. It got so that all the sheep I was counting wore baseball caps and kept running in and out of telephone booths.”
