The idea that IL requires Il Websteriar
brain TO manage the p,a wing end OF a ball
club Is Il myth. No one would think of
comparing the mental development OF Ward
and Ewing, aud yet the latter easily aC-
comp.ished that in which Ward failed

own game. But every man to his graft.
Mr.. Brush knows all about the legislative
side of the game, and very little, il any
thing, of the artistic. For the same rea-

Brush turned over the Reds Ewing won
the pennaut for New York, and now, after
having the Reds only two years, he has
made them championship posi- bilities.
