There VIII probably be no other time this year

but what man he is! There is no doubt but that
the senators can play much better bail both at the
pat and In the field when Long Jim is in the box.
Beside his wonderful work with the bali. he has
gained the confidence OF the men, and they all
play with a snap and vim that is marvellous. Then,

absence, for he is now the manager OF the team,
and good one, too. Mr.. Burket is travelling with

himself
