delusion that have picked an easy life.

troubles in their means Of earning three

The face of the manager bears out the
truth of what he says. Seldom has race
been seen that shows so much Of the wear
and tear Of a nervous life.
1t is a very expressive face, mobile and
eloquent. The best feature is the twink
ling eye. which lights up the whole face
when things are going right
A man who knows Manager Mack or
one who doesn't. for that matter. can fol-
low every detail of the play merely by
studying his face. His features really fur
nish a photograph Of the action, most
interesting picture.
When his team is around him on the
bench during their session at bat. the
eyes fairly snap with their life. He ad-
vises them, he has quick, snappy sugges-
tions. He is not without joke where 1t
fits in, but the humor is not long main
tanned. Winning the game is too serious
thing for that.
A hitter goes to the plate. The man.
ager leans forward studying him most In
tently. The man at the plate Is but the
puppet. The man on the bench is pulling
the strings has told him what to do.
He does it. A single is sent to some
vacant spot in the outtield, or perhaps the
hitter beats out bunt.
For an instant a smile of pride comes
over the face of the manager. But 1t lin
gers only briefly. Another hitter is up.
He must be handled. New problems have
arisen.
Say he has been told to sacrifice. He
makes an honest effort, but he fails. He
isn't able to put the ball where he wants.
But this doesn't mean a rebuke. The
face of the manager may look regretful,
but there is no anger in it. But let the
hitter diSobey orders. Let him try to
knock the ball out of the lot. and pop up
an easy fly, then there is trouble. Into
the face of the leader comes a baleful
glare that consumes it's victim. With the
expression is some terse comment COM
posed of that whitening scorn, which can
nowhere be seen as on the bench.
And so it goes all through the game.
Every play, every incident, leaves its
marks like series of moving pictures on
the face of the general, and by the time
it is all over he has given as much in
nerve force as any man on his team.

VETERANS TO MAKE
ROOM FOR BUSTERS

The days Of the old-timer In base ball
are numbered. Few maj or league players
who were in their prime five or six years
ago will hold down regular positions in
the fastest company In 1910 In the old
days, the days OF 1890 and 1900, little was
thought of an athletes remaining in the
big leagues for ten or even fifteen years
And there are many in the American and
National league now who have been play
ing in the highest class for an unbeliev-
able length of time. The national COM
mission last week gave out list of minor
leaguers who had been drafted or pur-
chased by major league teams. 1t was
an enormous list. 1t showed that base
ball in the bushes" was on a higher
plane this season than ever before, and il
showed that major league scouts realized
this fact. But it showed above all that
the great demand is for youngsters. The
success of the Boston and Philadelphia
clubs in the American League and the
Pittsburg, Cincinnati and st. Louis teams
in the National has brought forcibly to
the minds Of the magnates the realization
veloped from young blood and that the
sooner they infuse this young blood into
their own clubs, the sooner will those
clubs have a chance for the championship.
There are veterans on all the winning
teams in both leagues. to be sure. But
the veteran of the future will be the
veteran of four years experience rather
than of eight or ten. Speed is what the
major league club owners are looking for.
The Detroit, Philadelphia and Boston
Americans and the Pittsburg. Cincinnati
and st. Louis Nationals are full of it. The
Athletics, the Red SoX. the Reds, the
Pirates and the Cardinals have made
good this year more because their recruits
have made good than because their vet
Grams have held up their end. In over
half the cities of the big league circuit the
fans next year will have hard time rec
ognizng their favorite teams, so changed
will be the makeup Of those teams. But
the fans, like the American public, well
come changes and the magnates are going
to give them what they want in that re-
spect at least

WASHINGTON, D. c., October A.
The Western progress dominates in in
terest. Even though the President has
now delivered all the principal speeches
of his tour the country is following him
down into California, to San Francisco,
where he stays two days, into the
Yosemite Park, where he tarries for
three days, into Los Angeles, and thence
to the Texas ranch Of his brother, where
he pauses for four days for rest and
recreation before resuming the journey
eastward into Dixieland.
But while the dispatches of the Pres
ident s daily doings will wane in vol
ume and interest, perhaps, the interim
will be filed with much public reflection
and comment upon the great program
he has mapped cut for the next three
years of his administration. For in the
he has outlined tasks, which can not
possibly be accomplished in one year
or two years. Congress would have to
sit in continuous session probably for
eighteen or twenty months to dispose
of all the questions he has proposed for
the lawmaking branch.
Wise ones in Washington look for
the President eventually to indicate the
things he would prefer to have dealt
thing for him to do, after discussion has
ragged for a while and public sentiment
has developed. At best the next session
of congress will not have a vast deal
of time for general legislation. AS
usual little, except the passage of two
or three appropriation bills, will be at
tempted before the holidays. There
will be hardly any serious work in
either the senate or the house till into
January-after the Christmas holidays.
But the advent of the New Year will
set many western congressman to think
ing about their reflections. The pri-
mary law rules in many western States
and the primary campaign starts early.
BY April or early May scores of these
westerners will insist on returning home
to look after matters pertaining to
their denomination. That means the
attendance in the house will be de
pleted in the spring and with the mar
row majority now prevailing because of
combinations between the insurgent Re-
publicans and the Democrats, the con-
troll of the house might be menaced if
action on other than appropriation bills
were attempted when so many members

It is very rare that congress deals
with more than one big legislative cues

fore the campaign, or of amendments

Central Bank of Issue.

The President has not been urging
expectations of financial legislation, in
Guiding a central bank of issue, the
coming winter for the obvious reason
that the Finance Commission does not
expect to be able to report till next
autumn. That is one of the most i'm
portant of prospective measures in the
President s opinion. He wants it left
for the calm deliberation Of the con-
gress whose official existence will date
from March 4, 1911. But if the Dem
ocrats should carry the house of re-
representatives. next year, the President
intends to push the financial bill
through before the life of the present
congress expires 1t would be a diff
fieult task at short session Of congress,
almost an impossible task. None the
less it has been seriously considered by
the President and Senator Aldrich.
Soon after his return to Washington
there will be many talks with the lead
ing men of senate and house about the
program for the winter. Those talks
and the preparation of his annual mes
sage will be two chief tasks before the
President in the month preceding the
session. It is still more than a month
before the President s return and yet
there is keen interest at the capital
over the decisions the President will be
called upon to make. There is not
much speculation now over what the
message will be. The President has
made it very plain he intends to recon-
mend from what he has said since no
has been en- tour. But unusual activ-
ity is promised in the holding of party
councils which will be very influential
in shaping the administration IS course
for the next few months. if not for the
remainder of the President s term.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1909-10-20

In the mean time the house and the
senate viii proceed with the regular ap-
preparation bills, of which there will be
fourteen and probably fifteen this
winter. These bills cover the legisla-
ton that is Indispensable. As they also
involve many troublesome questions of
the administration Of the government 5
fiscal affairs, more time than usual will
be required in disposing of them, which
means that less time will remain for
general matters. The upshot must in
evitably be that the major portion of
the President s program, as outlined in
his western speeches, will go over till
the winter of 1910-19l1 or until the year
after that. 1t does not signify that no
progress will be made, for the proposal
of ideas and the perfecting of bills in
committee always constitutes a decided
advance. Little legislation. involving

Extra Session Talk.

More than one of the big measures
may get through one of the legislative
branches, more probably the house. That
might not be especially promising be-
cause of the difficulty in getting vote
in the senate at a short session. Some.
thing will be heard before the winter
is over about an extra session in the
autumn to clear the legislative decks,
But while that sort of talk viii not
down. an extra session is and viii be
very improbable because to be of any
effect it would have to convene in De-

impossible to keep a quorum in Wash
ington at such time.

Vote VIII be Late.

But if it should be decided to press
the railroad rate amendments to a final
passage in the senate, it would be well
toward summer before a vote could be
reached. That is only one of several
big questions the President has breach
ed for action. There is the amendment
of the Sherman law so as to exempt
labor unions from the restrictions upon
boycott, very important question that
has never failed to set congress by the
ears whenever during the last twenty
years either of its branches has taken
it upon for consideration. There is the
ship subsidy question, which always
provokes big congressional fight; also
the labor injunction question, brings
out very great variety of congression-
al opinions and contentious. There are
also proposed amendments to the Sher-
man law regarding combinations in re-
straint of trade, notifications of the
authority of the insterstate commerce
commission by diverting to other
bureaus certain of its INVESTIGATOR
functions, and several minor topics.
