DR.. COOK MAY LECTURE

Montgomery, October Especial The
great number of men who have not paid
their poll taxes is beginning to worry
both sides of the amendment fight. Being
an off year tax collectors often told citi-
zens that it would not be necessary to
pay the tax as there would be no cleo
ton. Now the outlook is that there will
be a very large falling off of men who
would like to vote but can't for this
reason. Military men are exempt, as will
be shown by a study of section s4 of the
code.

I such a thing has occurred. Tne oio TO-

. and this year is his first hard try al
the opposite type of leader.
or late wears the owners OF SOME
! American League teams have leaned to
the belief that the bench Is
h whole thing in baseball. Some OF
the National League teams adhere to II
also, but the fact remains that the
greatest teams in the older organiza-
ton possess playing managers, to wit,
!, Chicago and Pittsburg. That Is the
4 great argument.
Those who haven't fully made UP
F, their minds as yet as to the better style
/, of leader will have a chance to dope
1t out for themselves this year by
: watching the American League. AS
said before, the White Sox will have
Hugh Duffy directing things from the
bench. st. Louis will have Jack O'Con-
nor. Jack can go in to catch. but 1t
isn't likely that he will. according to
the stories sent out from Little Rock,
where he had been manager for sew
eral seasons.
, Jimmy McAleer, his predecessor, who
will try to jump Washington out OF
the mire, is also a bench-warmer. he
succeeds Joe Cantillon, who also did
his work from a canopied seat.

the light fantastic on the Highlander
bench; Jennings on the coaching lines
for the champion Detroit Tigers; JIM
Mcclure will go quietly about his work
of leading the Cleveland Strivers from
some place other than the diamond,
and Connie Mack will be found hidden
away in the space of a few inches on
the Athletics seat. There Is much to
be said about the question at issue,
but I lean toward h playing man

Chicago would be the retirement to
the bench of Fred Clarke or Chance,
who are always in the heat of battle
when directions are necessary, and
what q great gain 1t would be to the
American League team owners IT all
those bench generals could be in the
heat of battle. In other words, men
like Chance, Clarke and B~resnahan will

THAT makes them as playing managers

TIGER COACHES SEARCH
FOR ABLE SUBSTITUTES.

PRINCETON, Nov. 9.-Although the
practise of the Tiger squad was long
yesterday afternoon, 1t did not reveal
anything important, for there were only
three regulars in the scrimmage. Read,
who left Saturdays game in the first
half, McCrohan and Mccormick were
the only players who did any hard
work. although everybody had on suits.
The whole team shows the effects
of the Dartmouth game.
Woodle punted like a breeze yester-
day, and this makes Saturdays lineup
more uncertain than ever. If he can
be used to punt, McCormick's value will
be lessened and Buckingham win have
all the more show to be the right guard.
The coaches are looking for good
substitute material, but they still have
to decide definitely who the first string
will be, for 1t is unlikely that Satur-
days combination will be kept intact.
AS was the case two years ago, 1t will
probably be the morning of the game
before 1t will be known finally who
will be first sent In to oppose the Bull
dog.

The battle was that of a scientific

against a man whose main asset is
smuggling and who could not get neal
enough to his shifty opponent to land.
In but one round, the second, was
Thompson able to send home enough
telling blows to make 1t appear that his
strength would carry the fight home to
him. But with Packey hanging on and
making the most of his wonderful foot
work, the Cyclone could not corner
him. After that oun there was little
doubt, as to the outcome although
Thompson took a brace in the last
three rounds and did some good work.
A shout of approval wen up at the
end of the tenth round, and the referee
raised Packey's right hand, s~ignifying
that he had won. A few of Thompson's
friends clamored for a draw. but the
decision was popular in the main.
