AS the players are naturally the idols
of the public, the magnates openly
show favors, but in close session are
ever figuring to keep the player in
his proper place as an employee. Let
the players, executives and magnates

thing to do with it, and while there
might be some question about his 10y
atty to some clubs in the American
league, there can be no question about
his loyalty to President Frank Navin

Isaac Walton students and was at
loss to understand why Kid Gleason

fish, and have yet to learn the scientific
name of the victim, Frank Fogarty

next fall.
Fogarty claims his hard luck was the
result Of fishing on the Lord Is day.

They are . likely looking lot Of bali
players. Harry was out In uniform,
but looked out of place. He should
sit on the bench, look wise, as old
timers are very apt-to look out Of
place on the coaching lines, and lose
the respect of the players, as well as
the public, a managers 8 place is on
