When Molly sings at Noon.

The factory hours are long so long
The sweltering shop is dim;
The wheels and belts their roar pro-
long
Till all the senses swim.
The dash and clamor grow apace,
But 10, there comes a boon
When labor has a moments grace
And MolEe sings at noon!
The boys and girls all gather round
To drink the cadence gay,
Upon the shallop of sweet sound
Dull care is borne away.
Beyond the bare rough prisOning
walls
They hear the rivulet Groom;
The woods green witchery calls and
calls
When Mollie sings at noon!
Such romance gathered from afar
OF land and sky and sea;
Such magic-mantle of the star
Now fallen on the bee;
The pipes of Pan by marsh and
mere;
The dance of fairy sheen;
All this the rapt folk sees and hear
When Mollie sings at noon!
| The weary days grows glonfed,
The common sights grow fair.
The narrow world becomes more
wide, g
Things wear a roster air,
And all because the music sweet
The whistle blows too soon
The lyric moments fly so feet
When Molle sings at nO0nl

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DETROIT. September o.-There will be
more changes in managerial roles in the
jor leagues in 1912 than in several sea-
sons. Switches are due in four and pcs
sibiy five American League clubs, While
il is practically certain new men will be
in charge OF three National League clubs.
The American League teams under con
sideration are: st. Louis, Boston, Cle"e-
land. Chicago and Washington. And the
National, Boston, Cincinnati and Brook
lyn.
Taking the teams in order:
Bobby" Wallace has proven disap-
pointment in 81: Louis. Although having
poor material to work with, Wallace was
in a. position TO get and develop men
He has not done so. Also, Wallace has
not put the proper lighting spirit into his
men. and ST. Lou fans feal that a con-
tinuance of his leadership would make
another hopeless tail-ender of the club in
1912.
And. what is more to the point, the
Cardinals are gaining as favorites over
the Browns
John l. Taylor hasn't been able to SUIT
himself in running the Boston American
League team, and il is within the bounds
of reason that he will sacrifice Patsy
Donovan, the same as he has dismissed
Fred Lake and others. Donovan has had
the Red SoX in the game and fighting
from the start. but in his two years he
hasn't been able to make a pennant win
ner Hence. John Is dissatisfaction.
George Stovall has been success as
the Cleveland club. The players like
him and respect his ability. and they
are willing to work harder than when
under the charge of Lajoie or Mcclure

Harry Davis of the Athletics will be The

race. and though the White Sox draw

willing to pay $500 for Flynn a

Flynn may not make good for Wash

him ANY PLAYER who in his first year in
the National League bats at a pa clip
is certainly worth while taking a chance
with.
Efforts to create the impression that

There has never been an instance when
his slightest wish has not been complied

better off than any other manager in the
