This is only one instance of
where a manager is oftentimes crit
icized for doing just what he
thought was right, and which was
about the only course to pursue.
OF course, after it is all over, the
manager, as well as anyone, can
see where he might have done diff
ferently, and possibly with better
results, but it is a cinch that he
was doing just what he thought
best at the time, and If everyone
would take that feature of it into
consideration there would be less
criticism

AN UNJUST KNOCK"
BY ADDIE JOSS.

NO matter now successful DaSo
ball manager may be, or how good
are the results he gets from his
players, there will always be many
who are ready to criticize him on
the slightest provocation.
No matter how conservative the
enthusiast may be in his own line
of business, the minute he becomes
an ardent admirer of a certain club,
and roots hard for that team to win,
he develops into a rabid fan.
When the club is winning and
everything is going along in apple
pie order he bubbles over with en-
thusiasm and praise for the play
ers and managers. But as soon as
things begin to look a little bad
and the club starts to lose, he be-
gins to offer suggestions and tells
what he would do if he were run
ming the club.
There was considerable COM
ment inChicago during the third
game of the worlds series because
Manager Chance let Pfeister finish
out the inning that Detroit hit him
hard and scored the winning runs.
On the face of it one would natur-
ally think that Chance was making
a mistake in allowing Pfeister to
remain in, when up to this time
Chicago was leading by a score OF
3 to /. II
But a little thought will show
that the manager of the Cubs was
only doing what any other leader
would have done under similar CON
ditions.
Mullin opened Detroit's half by
drawing pass, the only one Pfeis
ter had issued. Mcintyre followed
with single, and when the big
southpaw threw O'Leary's bunt to
Steinfeldt too late to get Mullin the
bases were filled and no one out.
With three left handed batters-
Crawford, Cobb and Rossman-
coming up, would it have been pol
icy to take out left hand pitcher
and substitute a right handler?
Hardly. This is no doubt the way
Chance figured it, and so he let
Pfeister continue. Crawford hit one
at Chance that he knocked down
but could not recover in time to get
ayone.
Cobb beat out slo wbounder to
Tinker, and when Rossman singled
to right, Detroit was two runs to
the good. 1t would have been sui
eide to burn up another pitcher at
this stage of the game, as Mullin
was holding the Cubs safe, and it
did not look as though they had
chance to score on him.
This is only one instance of
where a manager is oftentimes crit
icized for doing just what he
thought was right, and which was

was also termed "Gentlemen's" even
ing. No literary program was pre-
pared, but the members to whom the
talent 6 cents) was given at the be-
ginning of the year, reported what
they had earned with it. The largest
sum earned was $1.3S raising potatoes.
The second largest was S1.33, by an
invalid member with crochet needle.
Others brought in smaller sums raised
in different ways, planting squash,
beans, selling pansy seeds, making
jelly and hooking rugs. Some, equally
acceptable, we believe, was earned by
self denial in going without things
that were needed.
The neat little sum of S11.O0, was
realized in this way with several not
heard from. Next came the exchange
OF gifts between members, from tree
in the lower hall with little souvenir
written for each of the gentlemen,
also bag of popcorn and candy. The
children upstairs had a tree all by
themselves, containing corn and
candy bags, corn balls and a present

boxes were brought forward and the
