It only hurts the players. and the season is usually well on it's way before they recover from the effects of their return from the South.

He will. of course. attend the annual meeting of the League in New York next month. for all the manage and club owners will be there. and McAleer wants to be on hand in the event that an opportunity to pull of some bene- hcial deal should arise. The. new man. ager is particularly impressed. with the spirit the local club owners are show ine. He realizes that he is in supreme command, and will not be interfered with in the handling of the team. which Is always an ideal condition from q managers standpoint.
