something more than threatened. The
sight Of a usually brave, strong, self

creature IS enough of itself to try

favorable collateral conditions. and
the collateral conditions here were
quite the reverse. That which had af

By the Editor

Burlington Gazette: To say that
George Manush, the smuggling Burling
ton man, had great year in the sea-
son just past would be whispering
George set up record that is echoing
across the continent this fall. He
did something that was most likely
never done before. He led two
leagues in batting in one year, and to
top it all of hit an identical figure in
each league. What is more, he was
the main factor in winning the pen
nant for his team in each league.
He hit .3I5 for Ottumwa in the Cen
trail Association, being the only man
to lead Harry Stanley of the Bur
llington team, who went to the ST.
Louis Browns, and he hit .375 for
Manistee in the Michigan State
league, being the only man who led
Bunny Brief of Traverse City, who
also went to the St. Louis Browns.
Georges strength with the willow is
further pronounced by the fact that
STANLEY and Brief were the only two
men in the minors whom Hedges
and Stoyall gave a tryout this fall. =
was Manush's wonderful stick work
that was the main factor in Egan's
winning the local bunting, and his
wonderful smuggling then COPIED the
rag for Connie Lewis in the Michigan
State organization. In fourteen games
in the Michigan State league George
got eighteen hits, over half of which
went for extra bases.
The funniest part of it all is that
George is a free agent, and is under
obligations to no one. Egan gave
George his papers in acknowledge
ment of his fine work and Lewis did
the same. The fact that George is
free to sign where he viii makes him
much in demand George is being
considered very strongly for the
Keokuk managerial role, while he is
at present being flooded with re-
quests from other sources, both to
play and to manage. Keokuk or any
other club which signs George will be
slipping something over on all the
others, as all have an equal chance
to secure him. Manush's smuggling is
but one part of his baseball ability as
he was the best first baseman in the
league, despite the fact that it was
new position to him this year. He
would certainly he great improve
