A new
KIND OF MANAGER
BY f.. ROSS TENNY.


fstudent of Inside Baseball, Who
has Travelled with Maps Since Season
Opened.)
There's a brand new, fighting Irish
man in the battle front of baseball. and
when the names of McGraw. Jennings,
Kelly, Ewing, Tebeau and other great
Celts are mentioned hereafter that OF
Joseph L. Birmingham. who has made
the Cleveland team the surprise OF the
game this year, must be included.
birmingham is a real boy manager.
He won't be twenty-eight until De-
cember 3rd, and he is the youngest
manager that ever played in the
major leagues.
"Birmy" has given the Maps a night
ing spirit in contrast to the once meek
aggregation ready to let the other TEL
low tramp upon it's neck.
Critics who have picked the Ath-
letics, Washington and Boston to run
away realize there's new sort OF Dali
team in Cleveland. Clark Grimth
alone refuses to believe, and says
Birmingham has "conned" the team
into playing ahead of it's natural gait.
Up to June Attn. the team had
knocked thirty-five pitchers from the
box in winning thirty-two OF the
forty-f1ve games.
In twelve games they came from
behind when seemingly beaten. They
finish like the Detroit club OF other
days. These things have made the
fans talk about the boy-manager who
has made the team one of the best
fighting machines in baseball.
Birmingham Is manager who
would bring Joy to the heart OF Patsy
.Tebeau and that regal crew OF his day.
He broke q leg trying to turn defeat
into victory and would have broken
two could be have clinched the game.
No longer does "Birmy" sport crutch-
es but when his broken lie leg ives to 1or tn
bench with the master baseball brain
directing his team.
He has erased the word ,quit IRON TON
for his players to obey. You're all
men and know as well as I do how to
care for yourselves" he told them.

are two Birminghamesque orders.
One day Birmingham hunted with
two men out and the bases filled. win
ming the game. The team was Vas, run
to hit the ball hard and pray for hit.
The bunt upset the opposing team,
the pitcher went to pieces and had to
be taken out
Next day when the opponents were
looking for hunts Birmingham ordered
his players to slug. They knocked
three pitchers from the box that day.
No hand shaking on the field goes
with Birmingham. Games are no
longer tea parties for the rivals. And

they will play in the worlds series next
fall
the team. The players are lighting for
everything. but not among themselves.
And, what is more to the point, they
are demanding and getting their share
on the paths, hitting close to 800 as a
team, and Joe Jackson is ciouting the
ball around the $50 mark.

and understand the purpose of the
organization. Then if she wishes to
become a Camp Fire maiden she will
learn the wood gatherer's desire and
repeat the following lines:

Trustworthy, hold on to health, glorify

How TO BE Firemaker.
The next rank IS that OF a firemaker,
and ordinarily takes three months for
preparation, although IL a girl can
give all of her time to It, it can be
done in a month. Credit is given for
the making of shirt waist or dress.
II the guardian. who Is the person at
the head of the camp, knows that the
girl has accomplished certain things
she can give credit for them. There
are several hundred kinds OF things
that can be done to achieve these hon
ors-something to suit every g,rl-no
matter what her position in life may
be.
The requirements for becoming a
fremaker are first to learn and repeat
the firemaker's desire, which Is the
following: LAS fuel is brought TO the
fire, so / propose TO bring my strength,
my ambition, my hearts desire, my
JOY and my sorrow to the fire of
humankind. for l will tend as my
fathers have tended and my fathers
fathers since time began, the fire that
is called the love of man for God"
There are no vows to take, only the
expressed Desires" There are thir-
teen other honors to win before you
become a firemaker. Recognition of
attainment is given in the form of

Costumes Not Necessary.
Some camps have costumes. but this
Is not necessary. The names and
symbols are taken mostly from Indian
lore, because it Is suggestive of the
spirit of out -of doors. of the ingenious

NATIONAL AID
FOR GOOD ROADS

Congress has the power to extend
national aid to good roads under the
Interstate commerce clause of the con-
stitution, and the authority to build
military highways and to establish post
roads. Jefferson thought SO. Madison
thought so, and SO did Calhoun. There
is no question about the power Of con-
gress In the premises"
So asserted Chairman Henry, of the
rules committee of the house of repre-
sentatives. recently when he concluded
the debate which preceded action that
created committee on public roads
the first time in the existence of con-
gress that the roads question received
recognition which places It among the
national legislative attention.
1t will be remembered that the
March Federal Aid roads convention in
Washington called by the American
Automobile association, through its re-
solutions committee asked congress to
create a committee to which all roads
matters would be referred. Congress
man Slemp,. of Virginia, was the author
of a speech wherein the convention was
urged to ask congress for the COM
mittee that has Just been named.
Twenty -one members have been
selected to constitute this committee,
with Representative Shackleford, of
Missouri, as chairman and the others in

Mr. Wise is one of the few geniuses
in this line, who, given an actor OF

LIGHTS FOR SIDE STREETS.

With the framing Of the budget for the coming
year. 1T Is to be hoped that the finance COM
mittee may keep up with the progress of the
for the better lighting Of the side streets between
Broad and Main streets, from First street to
Ninth.
Many Of these streets are already devoted to
business purposes. As far west as First street
the streets are rapidly being taken by enter
prising merchants, who can nnd no room on
either Main or Broad streets,
The residential zone is being pushed farther
west. Where a few years ago cozy homes were
in demand, now are shops, Offices and other
classes Of business Establishments.
Few residences remain on any Of the streets
east of First street, between Marshall and Main.
Within the next decade it is safe to say, there
will be no residences on these streets. Business
will have taken possession, and the tide of resi-
dental population win have gone to the north,
the south, the east and to the west.
A short while ago a proposition was presented
to council looking TO the better lighting Of these
side streets. Councilmen Peters. Radcliffe, Atkin-
son and Huber favored lights on the streets
where businkss houses were springing UP as
though by magic.
MIR. Radcliffe was particularly anxious to see
lights In greater profusion on Seventh. Eighth
BYRD street station. Mr.. Peters showed where
more lights were needed on Eighth street,
These three streets are now the main thorough
