Just before the National Club left on it's

team next year as manager. 1t is now given
out that he will not be with the club next year
and that the directors are looking around for
some one who will manage the team in a
practical business way. What the National
Club wants, If they are going to release Shan

played ball, put him in command and let him
run it, Retired players do not make good
