THE TRIALS OF BASEBALL
MANAGERS ARE NUMEROUS

Fielder Jones, who won a
worlds championship with a me-
diocre ball team which didn't have
any license to win, changed his
players frequently, and his repu-
tatiOn as manager rested solely
on his almost uncanny ability to
put in the right player at the
right time.
John McCloskey, now manag-
ing Milwaukee in the American
association, was great on making
sudden switches and he usually
had the right bunch. McCloskey
changed pitchers three times in
one inning one day when he was
managing the Cardinals, and he
won his game. The fans said he

CHlNGREN HIGH MAN
AT TRAP SHOOT

e. ]. Chringren kept up the pace
in trap shooting yesterday that he
began in the practice shoot, and set
new mark for the district west Of
the Rocky mountains, breaking 1876
out of 200 birds at the first days
shoot of the Spokane Gun Club
meet. Poston, a professional, was
the only man to beat this, with 1877.
Tom Ware won the Howard gold
watch event with 80 straight. Forty
six men are taking part in the shoot
and large gallery of spectators
was on hand. The shooting COM
menced at 9 o'clock this morning
and probably will be finished by 8
or 4 o'clock this afternoon.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1910-07-21

Probably the hardest task con-
nected with base ball team is the
job held down by the person
known as the manager of the out
fit. 1t is true he is getting a pref
ty good salary for his work. and 1t
is also true that he probably
doesn't get in the game once in a
season, but the position he holds
is far from being the snap a lot
of base ball fans appear to think
it is.
In the first place the manager is
the official buffer between the
players, the public and the press.
The manager gets his men to-
gether in the spring several weeks
before the season opens, and, If he
is in one of the bigger leagues
which the American public sup
ports, he heads for the southern
training camp. In the party are a
number Of youngsters whom the
manager has never even seen, but
who have been touted to him as
wonders by scouts, or friends, in
terested, mostly. in the player
himself. Now the training season
hay last four or five weeks, and
in that time it is up to the head
man to pick his team for the COM
ing struggle and weed out the
weaker brethren.
So he Is up against 1t at the
start. He knows what his old
men can do, as he has seen them,
but he has only vague knowl-
edge of the youngsters work-and
this second hand-so he puts the
youngster through the PAGES, right
from the tap of the gong. The reg
ulars are permitted to take more
time, to round into shape slowly,
as the manager would be foolish
to take a chance and let one good
man injure himself or go stale be-
fore the season begins. But the
grind is on for the youngsters. and
they are expected to shoy their
stuff right from the start. Sounds
hard, you say, but it's the only
thing possible.
Maybe one or two Of the young
sters show enough form to war
rant holding them. The others
don't and are turned adrift or are
shipped back to the bushes for
more seasoning. Probably some
other team grabs one or two Of
them and they develop into stars,
while the new ones the manager
held onto blow up and some Of his
old reliables slow up. Then the
hammer dents the manager in the
head, the fans pan him and they
forget that he isn't gifted with
second sight, but instead Is just
an ordinary sort of human, who
knows quite good deal about
base ball and who Is more than
anxious to get winning team in
the field.
Then there Is the question Of
pulling players out Of the game
at critical moments. The mana
gers team needs hit to win or
tie, so pinch hitter is sent up,
This man may have been called
upon time and again in just such
an emergency and delivered, but
this time he fails and the team
is whipped. Once again the man
ager is roasted to a nice brown
for making the change.
But most of this roasting
comes from yanking pitchers
when they show signs of weaken
ing. Clarke Griffith. manager of
the Reds, will pull pitcher
quicker than any other manager.
When Griff managed the New
York Americans he jerked pitch
ers so frequently that the fans
dubbed him "Yank," and from
that sprung the present nickname
of the American league club in
this country's biggest town
yankees"

The next day he yanked a pitcher
in the middle of an inning, trotted
out another one and the Cardinals
were swamped. What the fans
said, about McCloskey then cannot
be printed in family paper.
The manager is the person re-
sponsible for the offensive and de-
fensive tactics of his team, and il
he wins, he is great. But let him
lose few games and the average
base ball fan crabs him for a
week, or until the team strikes

then the players usually get more

BONNER IS PUNK;

Bonner's elemosynary instincts

.STREETER'S PRINClPALITY
KNOCKED DOWN FOR $1,000
.Farmer-Lawyer for Captain Gets
Lake Michigan Land

CHICAGO, Oct. 19.-The "Deestrict
of Lake Michigan, United States of
America" generally known as Streeter-
Vile, is no more.
Capt. George wellington Streeter,
king of the "deestrict," was vanquished
Yesterday, and the "deestrict' was
knocked down under the hammer Tor
the insignificant sum of $1,000.
Despite the captains protest that the
"deestrict'' could not be disposed of
without a clear deed from him, it was
auctioned off by q deputy sheriff. At
torney W. G. Anderson, who was in
strumental in freeing Streeter from the
penitentiary for killing John S. Kirk,
watchman employed to guard some
property in the "deestrict," was the
buyer.
The "deestrict," or that part of it in
which Streeter is said to be interested,
was sold to satisfy a Judgment obtained
against him by Attorney Anderson for
securing his release from the peniten-
tiary.
When Attorney Anderson was work
ing for the pardon, Streeter promised
him $4,000 if he succeeded. Later,
however, Streeter is said to have re-
fused to consider Anderson's demands
for settlement. The case was in the
courts for some time, and was brought
to a climax when the superior court
ordered a sheriff's sale.
If Streeter later is found to be not
legally entitled to any interest in the
district the sale will be declared off.

DENVER COLLEGE GIRLS
WAR FOR CLASS C0LORS
coiffures, ShirtWaiStS, Dress
skirts Wrecked in Scrap for
Freshman Banners

DENVER. oct. 19.-Imbued with the
spirit of Colorado. the state of equal
rights, feminine members of the fresh
man and sophomore classes Of Denver
University yesterday held a little
class scrap" of their own, to the hor-
ror of the faculty and to the unre-
strained joy of the hair dressers, who
will profit heavily.
Proclamation of the sacred freshman
colors by the sophs, who followed the
1914 banners in moeking parades, start
ed the trouble.
The freshmen girls gathered their CO.
horts and rushed the procession to
rescue their colors. A Valkyrian war
cry, a swirl of petticoats, and the fight
was on. True to the feminine instinct
each militant maid aimed straight Tor
the coiffure. The air was filled with
shower of rats, puffs and the coro-
net braids, and in a trice the college
campus resembled the interior of
mattress factory. Shirt waists were
wrecked and a few walking skirts will
walk no more.
Superior experience finally told, ana
the freshmen were compelled to with
draw from the field, leaving their col
ors and the most valuable part OF
their hair in the possession Of the
sophomres.
The retreat was a decorous one, how
ever the less unpresentable of the girls
forming a close screen about their
sartorially injured comrades.

CURTISS WILL TRY OUT
NEW TYPE AEROPLANE
Aviator Will Use "SingIe Surface
Machine" at the Belmont
Park Meet

HAMMONDSPORT, N. Y, Oct. 10
The announcement that Glenn H. Cur
tiss will try out a new type of racing
aeroplane at the Belmont park meet,
follows a long period of experimenting
with the new machine here.
Mr.. Curtiss does not designate his
new aeroplane, however, as mono
plane. He prefers to call it a single
surface machine" Strictly speaking
it is a near-monoplane, as the lower
plane surfaces are practically elimin-
ated, while at the same time the area
of the upper plane is materially re-
duced in the interest of lightness and
speed. However, it does not resemble
in any way the monoplane type in
favor abroad.
The chassis of the new racing ma
chine is substantially similar to that
of the Curtiss biplane. 1t has a sur
face of only about $50 square feet, but
it carries a motor of 65 horsepower
and is expected to develop a speed OF
more than so miles an hour.
The Curtiss biplanes have about
four hundred feet area of lifting sur
face, while the Wright and Farman
biplanes have about $40 feet. The
new machines are to be operated al

Danger Lies in Meat
Products
On Sale Friday

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Oct. 19.-"All
meats are poisons," declared DR.. ]. H.
Kellogg, the food expert of Battle
Greek, Mich, before a large audience
composed principally of women at Car
negie hall. He was lecturing on THE
New Hygiene VS.. Rae Suicide" He
declared the human race is degenerat-
ing, and said chronic diseases are twice
as prevalent now as they were thirty
years ago. He dWelt at length upon the
increase in cancer, tuberculosis and in
sanity, and calculated from the statis-
tical figures at hand that in 250 years
the whole race will be insane at the
present rate OF increase.
He deplored the great attention being
paid to the raising of all sorts of live
stock and to the advancement of sciA
ence and discovery, while not a cent is
being expended to find out why half of
the babies born die before they are z
years old. His remedy is to return to
the simple life, living in and breathing
the open air, working hard every day,
consuming natural food and wearing
sensible clothing. He holds that meat
flesh foods of any SORTS the most un-
natural food possible to man, and only
acts as a poison to the body tissues.
Four other vital poisons he enumer-
ated as tobacco, coffee, tea and alcohol.
The lecturer said his faVOrite articles
of diet are rice and buttermilk. He
does not approve Of many clothes, and
pictured the i'll effects on the race of
"pernicious lacing' among women
1.-THE wearing of clothes is a dirty-a
positively filthy-habit, that causes all

nal ailments" declared the speaker, but
he added that some clothes of the right
sort are necessary. He urged the peo-
pie of san Antonio, "one of the health
lest cities of the world, with the best
hotels in the land, with a very energetic
and progressive citizenship" to become

LIE Blanc had nor been spoken since
he left Zion City, ill.,, yesterday morn
ing. He finished second in the race
for the Bennett cup, which started
as one of the premier aeronauts, as
well as aYiators, OF Europe. At Po-
gamasing he was within 14s miles of
the American record of S7S miles, set
by John Wise in 1859, and within 466
miles of the worlds record of 1893
miles, set in 1900 by Comte Henri de
la Vaulx.
Four other racers were reported to-
night flying over Lake Huron and
Georgian bay. from 900 to 700 miles
northeast of st. Louis.
In the 1907 race from here the late
Oscar Erbsloeh landed at Asbury

in SO hours and 55 minutes.
The worlds endurance record was
made in a race from Berlin in 1908,
when Captain Theodore Shack, who
is competing in the Helvetia in this
years race, remained in the air 73
hours.
