Sidelights on Sports
BY A. H. C. MITCHELL

THE job of manager Of a bah
club looks to be the easiest
thing in the world-from the
grandstand. Players also think
the job is cinch. So far as is
known, only one man ever refused
an offer to manage a ball club.
That man was Uncle Cy Young.
AT one time they wanted him to
manage the Red SoX.
Not on your life" declared the
old man.
But younger players have no
heSitanCy in rushing into a man
aSerial berth whenever II is Of
fered. Nay more. They seek the
job, When they finally land--if
they do-less than a month of a
championship season is needed to
convince them that managing a
ball club Is about the toughest
proposition that was ever in
vented.

the trade tip is worth consideration.

SHARP
GETS new
DONATION

Rev. Cecil ]. Sharp, pastor of the CAL
umet Avenue Christian church, arose
in his pulpit yesterday morning to
make an appeal for money. In thirty
minutes s2,7o0 was raised to pay for
a new steam heating plant. When he
sat down he was done with money rails
ing in the local church, an institution
with a membership of 500 and a
new building seating 1,400 that cost
$4,000. all paid for.
Eight years ago. Sharp. a high school
teacher, raised his first money for the
Hammond Christian church. 1t was
hard shedding then as the active mem
bership could be figured on the fingers
of two hands, with fingers to spare.
Sharp didn't ask for much. just enough
to shingle the roof. but he had a hard
time getting it. and half of what he
did collect with much stress and exor-
tion came direct from his own pocket.
He started in to build up a big con-
gregation and provide a big plant for
it to operate in. There wasn't any one
connected with the. church that didn't
know the sting of poverty at that time
so things went slow at f1rst. But
Sharp was determined that the Christ
ian church should take it's place among
the big congregations of the city.
This 1t has done.
