And O'Day islTHE boss!
First thing put up to him was
a. demand that he let catcher
Larry Mclean go. Larry is one
of the star catchers of the coun-
try, but hard to handle.
Mclean stays" said O'Day.
Il can handle him."
The big catcher has been in
every game so far this season and
is playing phenomenal ball.
O'Day put the Reds through
the most rigid spring work team
ever went through. He had his
players on the ball field at Column
bus, Ga, and other southern cities
twice each day, good or bad
weather.
"This ball club is going to be
In shape when the bell rings"
Hank would say, Then he'd look
at the sky and say. "Well, the
grounds are pretty wet, but we'll
play around the edges"
,O'Day made his pitchers
strengthen their bodies and lungs
first.
There wont be any pitchers on
this club who will be too exhaust
ed to pitch after they have run
from first to third base," said
Hank. His pitchers ran around
a mile track twice a day, then
chased flies in the outfeld. Their
pitching arms were given second |
airy attention..
O'Day, as an umpire for 20
years, always had to decide mat |

they'd do anything for Hank.
The Reds found that while
lO'Day is something of a bear" in
his ways, he has big heart.
When a player was hurt, O'Day
saw that he got the best of at
tention and got it in hurry.
Time and again during the train
ing season Hank was invited to
theaters and big dinners and
every time he refused.
mo, thanks; the boys have to
eat at the hotel and I'm going to
eat there, too"
O'Day is a great believer in the
old one-run game. "Get one and
it takes two to beat you," is his
motto. He put Bullet Bescher,
the best base runner in the Ma
tiona1 league, at the top of the
Red batting order, and sent
Bates, one of the best sacrifice
h1tters, up second. Then he filled
in with Dick Hoblitzell, demon.
in pinch, and Mike Mitchell,
who, with Hoblitzell, batted in
more runs than any man in the
league last season.
Then the Reds, under strict or
ders from O'Day, began to go
after runs in the first inning. And
they got them. And won games i.
that way.
O'Day has won most of the
Reds victories by using remark
able judgment in picking pitchers
for each game. He has no regu-
lar system and his pitchers never
know, when they will will work.

LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE.

The proposition to submit to a
ponular election, in which all prop
erty owners, irrespective OF sex or
color, will be given an opportunity
to express themselves on the propo-
sition of granting a franchise TO the
promoters desiring to install a gas
plant in Lakeland, promises to al
ford a most satisfactory and amic-
able solution of question which
threatened to become somewhat veX-
atious.
1t is particularly gratifying that
this suggestion should come from the
president of the City Council. The
suggestion bears out what The Even
Telegram has all along cOntended,
that the present Council is anxious
10 do what is best for the people,
and is not above consulting with the
peoDle as 10 their desires. This Is I,
proper and praiseworthy spirit, and
cannot fail to be appreciated by the
citizens. In all ordinary matters in
reference on the part of the citi-
zens is wholly unnecessary, and, IN
fact, Is undesirable. We have chosen
these men to act Tor us and we haVt
confidence in their good judgment
and good intentions, and they should
be left entirely unhampered in theil
disposition of the general business in.
cident to the conduct OF the munich
pality's affairs. This gas PROPOSE.
ton. however, is an extraordinary
matter, and its submission to pop
ular vote will relieve the City COun-
ell of the responsibility of dispOsing
of it, and If a mistake shall be made
they will be freed from any attend
ant odum. Dealing with the mat
ter in this way is an eXempliication
of government by the people in the
simplest form. than which no more
satisfactory method has ever been
devised. Let the people decide
whether they desire this franchise
granted and let all checrlully abide
by the will Of the majority.

Albert Williamson in his spcechc

salty charges against two Of his 0p-
pOncnts, Claude l.. f.nglc and }. T..
OBricn. We wonder why these gcu-
tlcmen do not camp on Mr.. William
sons trail and call him down ii
these charges are untrue. Mr.. Will
hanson cannot be charged with I'M
fairness in attacking the records of
these candidates i'm their absence, be-
cause he has a standing challenge to
them to meet him on the stump any
where and any time. We do not
know whether or not these geptle-
men have been paid lobbyists for
corporate interests. We only know
that Mr.. Williams says this is the
case, very plainly and specifically.
and unless pretty emphatic denial is
Forthcoming, the people will believe
the charges are true.
