But If there ia a more egotistical animal in the world than .a baseball manager it has never been put- inside a cage. Frank Chance. eaw clearly his error In letting Stelnfeldt go. There was a constant weeping and walling and gnash ing . of . teeth in 8t -Louis - for many moons after the demoralisation of the Browns when McAleer turned loose the men who almost landed a pennant for him in 1908. Those same Indivlduala, Hob Ferris and jimmy Williams, went to Minneapolis of the American assocla. tlon and delivered a pclaes of goods that far surpassed anything . the new Brownies displayed. And, even today, they: are goooVenough for any man's teem. But they stay burled so far as the Honorable Hedges and his lieu ten ant on the field, Wallace, are concerned. Dosen s of ether such cases could be cited, all going to show where the builders of teams . have , accomplished negative results by their desire to In' fuse new and young blood into their teams. Their over-anxiety to make good has worked their disaster. SooutlAf aTw Scramble. The young fellows are all right they are neceasary. However, the gambling chance of picking up a possible star has caused the passing of many a great warrior of the diamond who fell from the good graces of his boss during a temporary slump in his work. The scouting- for the youngsters has degen erated into a mad scramble. A manager gets a tip mat sucn ana sucn a you to is playing good ball and he grabs the "$6000 beauty" before he can begin. to know what is In him. Nine tenths of the expensive purchases of the last few years have turned out to be lemons of caught the 'scout's eye was but a flash in the pan.

The bone is now knitting nicely and Rodger does not suffer much pain from it although ha Is . forced to get around on crutches. Tha worst pain, he says, eoraea-from the sprained an kle, which was sustained .at the 'samu time the bone was fractured. ; ' Rodgers was Injured in an attempt to steal second in one of th games. Roy Brashear was standing In front of th bag ready , to take the throw, and Bill resolved te make a "hook" slide: .The spikes sank deeply Into' th hard earth and refused to budge, when he laid him self over to get out of reach of Brashear.

COSTER'S BACKERS PUT UP SPARE CHANGE Los Angeles, Cal, July- 1. Admirers of Joe Coster, the husky little bantam weight who is scheduled to clash, 10 rounds here on the afternoon of July 4 with Joe Rivers, are planking down all their loose change on the little easterner at. the Juicy odds of 10 to S. Coster's manager says that h is going to get down their end of the purse at these odds, as he believes that a comparison- of the record will show that Coster should be the favorite. No flaw has been found In Coster's condl tlon, and the fact that Rivers has been made the favorite ia due apparently to the determination of his followers to play him through ta the end of his win ning streak.

' Bill Naughton Writes of Water Sport on His Old Stamp ing Ground. By W. W. Naughton, Sydney, Australia, May 9. I find the Australians are touchy on the subject of , world supremacy in rowing. At present the. badge of supremacy, the world around, ia worn- by one Dick Arnst, a native of Maoriland, which to me is a matter of surprise,, as In the, old years the Dominion of New Zea-vJ land did not rank with the common wealth of Australia in the develop ment of oarsmen. Qne ha only to ra call the names of ' Trtckett, Clifford, Beach, Stanbury and Searle, all of Aus tralia, to make this fact apparent- ' The last named'' was, Jn my. way of thinking, the best that Australia ever cent abroad on a world conquering mis sion. I was a guest on the press boat on ' "Old Father Thames" In London back in 1889, when Searle defeated O'Connor of Canada in a race which was probably the cause of more money changing hands- than any like event the world has known. Incidentally I was In Toronto a cou ple of months before the race and heard enough to convince me that many of the Toronto Indians had mortgaged their homes to raise the wherewith to back O'Connor. tart by BCutaal Consent. . . I remember both men being backed up to the starting buoys that famous afternoon. The start was by mutual consent and O'Connor, who. was quicker than a quail out of brush leaving the mark, shot forward like a flash at whatfte considered evidence of consent on Searle's part. - Searle had not moved, however, and O'Connor backed water again, looking disappointed and some what sheepish. O'Connor was a bundle of .nerves, alert, sensed and sage.. Searle was as SINGLE SGULLING IS POPULAR AGAIN Pick Out the Best we have for your clothes requirements; not necessarily the highest priced one of our . $20 or $22.50 suits may suit your needs better than a $35.00 or $40.00 quality, ' Hart Shafmer & Marx clothes are always economical at whatever price you pay; the more you pay the more quality you get; the greater value.
