lei TO believe by the reports OF MS
success as lawyer and golfer His in
umation that the business of the Ma
uonal Commission was not carried on
properly when Harry Pulliam and john
Heydler were on it, but that those two
were dominated entirely by Johnson
ana Hermann sounds like a squaWk OF
a spanked child, If not like the squeal
of q gutter. Pulliam was unfortunate
nut capable. Heydler has never been
open to the objection made by Ward,
but has always been distinguished by
MS ability to sidestep the temptations
which have gone with his office, and
his quiet dignity and strict attention
10 business are the principal character
iSticS which have won him such a wide
circle OF friends. Ward would make
great hit by keeping quiet now that
he has been unsuccessful in his grab
at another mans job.
The freight rate on gold bricks from
New York TO Copenhagen Is only 30
cents. Because OF the already heavy re-
Ceipts at the dock, no more shipments
Of this staple will be received after to-
morrow morning.
The explanation CIV on BY Manager
DOoley, Of Utica, of the reasons for the
success OF Connie Mack i'm landing prom
islnC youngsters is about right. It is a
great pity the Washington club is not
in somewhat the same position. Be
cause of its many changes in ownership
and its frequently unsettled, man
agerial problem, Washington has com
raratvely few friends apart from it's
paid scouts. 1t takes years of close
association with the business, in season
and out, and personal popularity as well
as clean dealing for club to acquire
allies in all parts of the country and IN
all leagues, who will take the trouble
to tip 10 off to good material or will
think Of AZ first when pheuOms are TO
he put OF the market. AS the matter
ErH# nsna 49,
the minors who, If they had a man
showing evidence OF becoming a star,
would offer him first to Washington.
The minor magnate would offer him,
and very naturally, to Comislly, Mack
or some other major manager whom he
knew personally and in whom b. had
confidence. Considering the Gil ,um-
stances, Washington has done well to
land as many good youngsters as II has.

IN the NEE ntime. Jeffries IS being

breakneck sreed, giving exhibitions and

wrestler
II would bs a good idea for ali Of the
athletic clubs I'm the District to set to
work SNStCmatICIU 70 compile q. list OF
their official headquarters. Managers
of meets and others who wish TO reach
the managers OF the various teams Of
! the clubs are at present handicapped
by the fact that il IS almost impossible
TO locate some OF them. Many Of the
old addresses have been changed and
If the clubs will send IN anew their
present locations or residences OF their
executive officers, The Times viii be
glad 70 make a record OF them.
