INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 10.
Charlie Carr is manager of the
Indianapolis team, champions of
the American association. He is
the highest salaried man In the
minors, receiving $1,000 a year.
Owner Watkins believes him the
miners, receiving $1,000 a year.
lOwner Watkins believes him the
greatest leader in the game.
Having a winner last year, Carr
lis expected to repeat, and he faces
the problems that confront every
|other minor league manager. His
stars are gone to the majors and
must be replaced. Like the ma
jors, he can draft and buy players.
/ came here to find out how the
greatest minor league manager
wins pennants.

isn't the public practically a

81 suppose so. But partners can
take an excuse. A real fan can't"
Fine! That's my argument.
Why not tell them the difficulties,
and let them see how you accom-
plish the result. They make base
ball possible with their quarters
and halves. Tell them how you
do it."
"Well, we train here, starting
slowly and going easily. There's
no training like the game. Gym
nasium work, hand ball and bowl
ing are no good. Running devel-
ops the wind, but the game is the
conditioner.
"At first the men chase flies
and handle slow hit balls. They

the men face them in turn. Only
straight balls go at first. The
pitchers work in turn to avoid
strain; this gives the batters OPP
portunity at different deliveries.
Batting keeps the fielders
busy. I vary the work. I let them
slug and bunt alternately. When

Batters are coached to improve
style; pitchers drilled to hold run

ers; infielders to work with the
battery: the Hathaway slide and
the delayed steal are practiced.

Auditors to Meet.

The state association of county
auditors will hold it's next annual
meeting in Tacoma June %, % and
"a. Among the most important mat
tiers to come up for consideration is
the uniform accountancy law passed
by the last legislature, law which
concerns the county auditors almost
exclusively. To this measure alone,
1t is announced, one whole day will
be devoted for discussion.
Other laws passed by the last legis-
lature directly affecting the Office OF
county auditor, and which will come
in for a share of the consideration,
will make the coming session one OF
the most important in the history OF
the state association.
Former Auditor F. P. Greene OF
Spokane was president of the state
association, but resigned the posi-
ton at the time he resigned the of.
fee of county auditor to engage In
private business.

CUsHMAN's BIGGEST JEST.
Reads Sketch Written by Himself
and Says 1t Ii Good.

Washington. June 1z.-It Is said
that q humorist Is seldom so funn,
as when he is in dead earnest. Rep.
resentative Cushnnan is more often
serious than Sam Blythe and Others
would have ~ believe. and he wat
particularly serious the other day
when he was calling attention. to q
sketch that recently appeared In a
popular magazine regarding that
part of Mr.. Cushman's life which
was spent as laborer on a railroad.
Mr.. Cushman spoke appreciatively of
the sketch, saying that 1t was the
best thing Of its sort he had read In
a long time, and the most satisfac-
tory article that had ever been writ
ten about him. He complained that
most writer's. in preparing sketches
about public men, select the most
picturesque periods of their history
and proceed to adorn 1t with such
such mock heroics as to make their
subject ridiculous. This, said Mr..
Cushman, was exactly what his BIZ
ographer in this instance had not
done; instead, the article in question
was in such temperate tone as to
make 1t very interesting reading to
the most stated reader. Mr.. Cushman
expressed his great pleasure in at
least having the high places Of his
career touched up gently and sedate-
ly.
Now comes the dead earnest part.
It seems that the writer under whose
name the article saw the light of
day, before sending his manuscript
to the publisher who had ordered 1t,
submitted his production to Mr..
Cushman for any correction which
he might desire to make. Mr.. Cush-
man, 1t seems, desired to make
great many corrections, and sent the
author a note telling him that his
composition was no good at all, en-
closing in its place a sketch which
was at once about Mr.. Cushman AMI

which appeared in the magazine, the
excellence of which so commended it.
