some leagues by teams which had not

"All of these things will help make
1911 a boom year. For instance, the
success OF the Athletics In the worlds
series, while not pleasant for the Ma

The loss will stimulate the National
league to win back the worlds

fact that baseball Is refined pastime

Baseball men appreciate that a win

game has become so fast that II Is

that day comes baseball will have

Jennings Fine Work
Pattern For Wallace

Arson, a first baseman; Fred Clarke
an outfielder; Frank Chance, another
first baseman; Charley Comiskey OF
the old Browns, another first base
man: Johnnie McGraw, third base
man; Connie Mack, catcher In his
day; Ned Hanlon, a center neider,
Jimmie Collins,a third baseman, and
SO on down the line.
Here's hoping that Wallace makes
as good as any OF the other shortstops
who have managed major league

IL Rhoderick ]. Wallace does not
make good as manager of the
Browns, all presidents of the ma
tional game as relating to major
league clubs will be shattered. Never
has shortstop Of stellar caliber been
promoted from the rank Of private
to the position OF leader but he has
been winner.
It Is odd, when you come to think
OF It, how few shortstops ever assum-
ed the managerial reins in the big
leagues. There was John Montgom-
cry Ward, who led the old New York
Giants to victory and made the word
Giants" famous in all cities where
baseball Ia known. Then there were
many long seasons before another
shortstop became leader.
That was when Hughie Jennings
became a manager after his arm was
hopelessly lost And jennings hes
done fairly well, thank you, since he
became q manager Wallace takes up
the managerial burdens better equip
ped than was jennings. For Hughes
arm was gone when he became a
leader of the Tigers, while there Is
not the slightest indication of failure
of the famous Wallace whip.
The careers OF Wallace and Jen-
nings, up to the time Jen-
nings ceased being player and be-
came a manager, were not dissimilar.
When Jennings was with Louisville
and with Baltimore he was the
mechanical player, pure and simple.
But IL was McGraw and Kelley and
Hanlon who were credited with be-
ing the brains of the old Orioles.
Jennings then, like Wallace up to
now, was never seen on the coach
ing lines.
He was a fiend on the defensive,
and lined them out at bat something
after the manner of Wallace. But he
was the quiet player Of the famous
four-McGraw, Kelley, Keller and
Jennings He was content to stay In
the background, do his work In q
masterful way, just as Wallace has
ever done, but when the time came
for him to direct the movements>of
his players he was not found want.
lug.
Wallace has Just as much to war
rant him making good as manager rs
Jennings had. Who, having watch
ed the Incompatible shortstop dur
ing his IL years engagement In St
Louis can recall his making dumb
play?
Rather odd that shortstops never
took first rank as leaders, isn't 1t?
They have always been stars? From
the time OF old Ed Williamson no
team was ever a success but the
shortstop was star Of the first mag
nitade.
There Ia every reason why the

Death Of Miss Florence Chapman.
Miss Florence Houston Chapman, daugh-
ter of Mr., and Mrs. Gale 7. Chapman,
died at the home Of her parents in Port
Barrow Sunday evening at $40 O'Clock,
aged sixteen years, Eve months and seven
days. Miss Chapman had been in poor
health for some time, her illness having
been diagnosed as pellaera by the family
physician. She was young woman Of
true Christian character, and occupied a
high place in the esteem and affection of
all who had the pleasure of knowing her.
It may truly be said without the usual
kindly exaggeration that her demise will
provea distinct loss to the community in
which she lived. Besides a heart broken
father and mother, she leaves little sis
ter, Ruth, and many other relatives. Sew
eral beautiful floral offerings were sent,
among which was a lovely wreath from
some of her classmates of the Donald
sonyilIe High School.
The funeral al left the family residence at
5 o'clock Monday afternoon, with services
at the Episcopal Church, Rev. Quincy
Ewing Of Napoleonville officiating, and
interment in the Protestant cemetery.
The Chief syrnpathizes profoundly with
the family in their great bereavement.
