MANAGER MUST BE GAME
FIGHTER TO WIN GAME

ITO win ball games" said Joe Tink-
err manager of the Cincinnati Reds, "a
manager must be a dead game fighter
IF bit of yellow shows above his
collar button it's all over-his chance
has gone a-glimmering. McGraw and
Chance are game men, always have
been always will be, and their men
will follow them through to flags. IN
derstand, when l say a fighter
don't mean a man who nags and barks
at umpires. | mean a leader who isn't
afraid of the other team, who isn't
afraid of the percentage that may be
against him and who isn't afraid OF
his own men either.
"A game pitcher is the man who can
see the big slugger coming up with the
bases jammed and say, Maybe this
guy is hitter, but he hasn't hit it yet
and he isn't going to hit this one A
game batter is the boy who sees the
fast one coming through and grins as
he steps forward, instead of pulling
back, and game manager is one who
doesn't curl up and play dead when
they are killing his pitcher or when his
infeld is throwing crazy or his men
can't seem to bat a half size single
That's the McGraw and Chance pat
tern, and that pattern is the one that
wins"
And, Joe might have added, the sue
cessful leader is the man who is not
only game, but whose players are
ready to follow him clear through be-
cause they are with him heart and
hand Hank O'Day was a game man
He had shown that in all the years OF
his umpiring. Henry was brave man
and a man whom not soul could
bluff. but Henry couldn't win his
players.
It's all in the fiber and the bone

LARGE SAFE is PLACED
IN VAULT OF BANK
Receptacle Cast in One
Solid Piece

A steel safe, cast in one solid piece
and weighing six thousand pounds,
was placed yesterday in the vault of
the Commercial City bank. The safe
was built to order and, as stated, is
without seams, being cut out of solid
block OF steel. The screw door is pro-
tected by three time locks, and the safe
is considered fire and burglar proos.
The cost was near $4,000

There's big statesman coming into
town. Mr.. O'Day, will you go and help
receive him?" And from the sphinx
face O'Day came slowly forth the
sullen words: Him? Who's he? If he
wants to see me let him come to the
hotel"
And just the other day they told Joe
Tinker that noted man was coming
to Mobile. will you go to the station,
Mr.. Tinker? Will you help receive
him when he comes ?" you bet | will, !"
came the smiling answer What time
does his train get in?"
A good man and a game man, too,
was Hank O'Day, but the iron mask of
the umpire had clamped it's hands too
many seasons on his square, hard
chiseled face and held back the speech
of human courtesy Too many seas
ons Hank O'Day had stood out there
in the open, casting the grim scowl
upon the players, turning them back
with sullen glare and sharp, short,
singing words. He couldn't soften;
he couldn't win his players if he
stroye for years.
And now comes Joe Tinker with the
ready tact and cherry smile, with the
courtesy that moderates the keenest
sting, with the diplomatic speech that
cheers them on and leads them up and
upward. He knows baseball from the
practical years of keen experience. So.
perchance, did Hank O'Day but Tinker
knows how to say thing, and O'Day
could never say it without grating
en- the ear and a rasping on the soul.

McGoorty Is to Invade Heavyweight
Division After Australian Trip.

for the, much-dented heavyweight
prizefight crown when Eddie Nc
Goorty, the Oshkosh mitt singer, re-
turns to this country from Australia.
McGoorty, with Ray Bronson and
Young Saylor, is now on his way to
San francisco, from whence he will
sail for the Antipodes Nov. IS. Right
now McGoorty is middleweight,
and a good one. Whether increased
poundage will weaken his effective
ness is problematical.
These Australian trips always re-.
suit in fighter gaining beef. The
long ocean voyage, with practically
no training, cause a natural increase
in heft. Every fighter who has taken
the trip ran into the same conditions,
and several found it almost impos-
sible to make weight when they
reached the other side
McGoorty is reconciIed to the con-
dition. He says the middleweight
division is no place for real fighter
now, not enough good men. men be-
ing in the game to furnish brisk COM
petition. ...'+ ..--..
On the other hand, there is plenty
of room among the heavies for a
regular fighter. McGoorty is flasher
and a better boxer than any of the
white hopes now doing business. The
big eff" is whether his punch will
grow with the rest of his body.

roth of San Francisco that the feath-
erweight champion is willing to meet
Abe Atte1, from whom Kilbane won

WINTER SPORTING DOPE FROM EVERYWHERE
Pres. Hermann Outlines Campaign
Against Feds and Players.

of the minor leagues in Columbus
last night, laid down the program
that organized baseball will adopt in
dealing with the Federal League and
the Baseball Players Fraternity.
According TO the chairman of the
National Commission, the magnates
will play a waiting game, not taking
the offensive unless they think their
territory is menaced.
A doubIe-barreIed warning was
shot at the Feds and players when
Hermann declared that any player
who violated his contract with club
in organized baseball would be de-
clared ineligible for all time. This is
drastic step, as the custom in the
past has been to outlaw player for
term of years, usually five as a
maximum.
Notwithstanding loud talk by sew
eral magnates as to what they would
do if Dave Fultz, president of the
players, attempted to present the fra
ternity's demands, Hermann said
FultZ would be received. But he must
be accompanied by a delegation of
active athletes.
The plant is made that FuItz is
not ballplayer, and does not under
stand conditions thoroughly. But
Fultz was at one time a big Lacquer,
and ran into just the alleged injus-
tees that he is now fighting. He is a
lawyer, and better able to dig out
any jokers the magnates seek to put
over on their hired men. This is the
big reason he is not wanted.
As a matter of fact, there is not a
unity of interests between the major
leagues, the high class minors and
the bush organizations. The smaller
fry must fight for their rights, and
the odds against them are heavy.
Right now, the big battle is over the
present drafting system, which is all
in favor of the, major leaguers.

While the extradition OF a fugitive
