OF that grand old baseball general Lave
Cross who ably assisted Connie Mack 20
capture the flag IN the American League
race several years ago, and who has since
built UP winners for two leagues IN a
comparatively short period.
A month ago, when the Atlantic League
was webbing. Lave Cross resigned.
Immediately he was secured to lead the

This year he built up a new team en-

Lave Cross knows bail player when
he sees one. and. above all. knows what
20 do with one when he gets him. and
can obtain results
The Philadelphia Press recently de-
voted an entire page TO the record or

OF Cross. and m the course Of the article
sized Up the situation as follows: Lave
Cross Shamokin team would make any

He Could Deliver Goods.
While I do not claim that Cross is a
Lajoie or a Hans Wagner. I do claim he
is playing as good ball as many players
in the big leagues. and far better than
some OF the Washington men. but with
his baseball knowledge even as a bench
manager. he would deliver the goods
