Ex-Captain Abbott on Captain Quig-
ley: He handles men in a different
way than do. He is just my oppo-
site. While I go after a man hammer
and tongs when he does something that
is not right, Quigley says very little
and braces them UP with a little soft
talk. That may be just what the
White Sox need. My system did not
seem to work. When I am winning
am all right, but when loose simply
go crazy-just batty crazy I tell you.
Quigley on the other hand is always
cool as a. cucumber and free and easy.
Things do not excite him. He can
shake off worry as easily as anyone

his playing, as 1 also have noticed that
the fans have. A change in the man
agement from one extreme to the other
may be just what is needed. You viii
hear no loud kicking from him. He
will handle them in an altogether Diff
ferent style. He came to me last night
when Sheard let him know that he had
been appointed captain in my place,
and told me that if I still wanted the
Job that I should keep it. and that he
would back me UP to his very best
ability, in fact would just work as we'll
and hard as he knows how. On the
contrary he said that If I did not take
the place he would accept it, but want

I had a talk over conditions with Tom
Sheard and it was the unanimous opln-

in the personnel Of the team. It was
thought that we ought to win with the
bunch we now have. am going to
help QuigIey all can. I have known
him for Is years and he is a thorough
gentleman and true sportsman. He is
