Speaking OF managers, there is one
out in the Southern Michigan who
ought TO get a bit OF credit for his
feat OF 1905. He hasn't won a pen
nant yet. but his team has run up
a percentage which has kept it In the
cad most OF the season.
Johnny Morrissey, the od-time Gin
cinnati second baseman is the man
ager alluded 10. and Lansing is the
team.
To properly appreciate the fact one
has 10 call TO notice that Lansing's
team in 1907 was chronic tail-ender.
Morrissey was a newcomer 70 the
league company and accepted the sal
AIRY limit OF 1907 seriously, instead OK
regarding IL as tremendous Joke.
The result found him in the dumps all
year and Johnny who is president,
vlce-president, secretary, treasurer.

his own team quietly footed his short
ages from time 10 time out OF his cwn
savings. He was $500 out at the end
Of the year. bur never whimpered'
Then the Southern Michigan passed
a salary limit that was a salary limit
and Johnny lobbied 1t through. IL
necessltated an l1-man rule and John-
ny had a chance to buck his rivals
riotous expenditures with his own
baseball brains
He started out with almost exactly
the same team that ne had tutored
all the season before His first-sacker
failed 10 report at the salary onere1.
so Johnny put one OF his 1907 outheid-
ers on first and signed new man 10
fill the resulting hole. He picked up
a discarded third baseman and signed
a new pitcher With this aggregation
he went to work and ran up the score.
Managers unite in agreeing that
Lansing has the best team work or
any South Michigan club. Morrissey
Is himself In as good form as he was
In the years he was starring In the
National league. His batting has been
terrific and his fielding Is OF a char
acter seldom seen in minor league.
He has entirely recovered from his
broken leg which was still weak last
year Many big league club might
well covet his services.
BEHIND the bat Morrissey has a
hard-hitting young man from Wiscon-
sir named Nauch Kearney is at
first, Morrissey at second, Thomas az
short and Love at third. In the out.
field he has Glenn, Biddy Burns. 81

often happens, Morrissey's team Is at
once the best and the cheapest, on
present showing. in the league sure
mark Of a good manager.
Pierce, Todd and Hughey comprise
the Morrissey pitching STAFF. The first
mentioned Is the big gum OF the
battery. He Is southpaw, a farmer
boy, developed by Morrissey last year
from a raw article into finished
product.
Morrissey likes Pierce and shows
esteem by putting him into the box
about Ave times week. Pierce likes
Morrissey and is delighted TO play the
role OF hrs;-string pitcher and life
saver.
One ot Mcrrisseys rival magnates

your eyes; you couldn't even keep your
mouth closed. 1t was not Sunday, yet

FOURTH CLASS P. MS.
IN CLASSIFIED SERVICE.
New Federal Order VIII Include the
State of Indiana.

The story that has gone out about
first class postmasters in the classified
service is wrong
All fourth-class postmasters in the
states east of the Mississippi river and
north Of the Ohio river were today
placed in the classified service by an
executive order of the president. Here

postmasterships in those states must
undergo civil service examinations.
This applies to Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
Connecticut, New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Ohio. Indiana. Illinois
Wisconsin and Michigan.
There are six thousand fourth-class
postmasters affected by the order.
