if they are to continue to earn good sal
aries in baseball, they must take care of
themselves. They do, and know; for no
other manager watches his players so closely
as I.
In nutshell, my managerial policy is
this: Learn every man under you, get under
his skin, know his whirns and faults; then
cater to him. BY this do not mean pam
per him. In catering to some men you have
to ride roughshod over them. Others you
have to treat as though you were taking
them into your confidence. Above all, am

they obey. If they don't, fine them. De-
wore, for example, was never able to bat
against a left-handed pitcher. He was
afraid of being hit with the ball. One day
when Sallee, the St. Louis left handler, was
pitching, l told Devore: -
"You go up there and let Sallee hit YOU.
If YOU don't, it will cost YOU ten dollars"

next man; so he let one of Sallee's curves
crack him on the hip, and he trotted to first

That fellow couldn't break pane of glass.
Gee! it gets me sore to think that l was

That's the way it goes. From that day
Devore was always able to bat against left
handed pitchers. He no longer feared them.
The point is that you have to study every
man under you and simply make them
units to be used in carrying out your policies.
That is my key to successful baseball man.

You don't know what year she went

punish you in any way that would bring
disgrace and misery on Nira?"
mo, the law can't touch me; but"
3Then I'm going to make this man spare
you. I'm going to be a screen between you
and him."
@No human being except myself could
screen me from him now, and my hands are
tied. Don't hope, Daura."
Il do hope | think he'll wait before do

George is better. 1t seems he wasn't
touched by the car. But he's had terrible
shock. We can't tell you, or anyone, what
it was that upset him. But dreadful
thing may happen, which will ruin his life
and my sisters. Only you can prevent it."
what do you mean?" Macdonald asked,
his jolly, open-hearted manner chilled.
Il mean, if you give out that George is
better, if you let him even seem to be bet
ter, nothing can save US from a frightful
calamity. Could you put him for the next
week or two under the influence of drugs
that wouldn't hurt him in the end, but would
keep him dull, half-conscious, stupefied?"
II could; but III certainly not try any
experiments of that sort, Lady Daura, in

it to Conway, who took it from her eagerly.
@Thank you," he half whispered. "That's
all want. Now go, there's good child-and
my love to Nira-my hearts love to Nira!"
Daura turned as if to go, then wheeled
round suddenly. He had opened the box,
and was lifting out a velvet tray, stuck full
of tiepins. She saw that his hand trembled
the hand that had been so eager.
"Georgel What's in that box?" she cried.

There is something in the box that will make

Nothing, except that he knew from the
papers where you were, and what you were

 Sheriff Wheeler, of Cochise county, ArIzona, who trsiled the auto stolen from E L stewart, of Douglas, and the three car thieves to this point. where they were splrebended, has un- esrthed good joke on Governor W c Mcdonald, chief executive of New Mexico.
 While Investigating the theft case the dlughty Cochise steriff learned that the three youths who stole the car last Thursdsy rented it to Gov ernor McDcnald 6, Socorro for short while. SO Sheriff Wheeler notified the governor that unless h, can prove an slibi be will have 10 appear at Tomb stone, Ariz next week as a witness in the case. Wheeler ssys the governor recently attended A good roads meet ing at Douglas and enjoyed himself so much that he expressed 6 desirS to return to Arizona soor, which the sheriff Is now offering him. The bsntering has caused much good ns- tured fun but it is believed the mat
 ter will be settled without compelling the governor to go to Arizona.
 Sheriff Wheeler and his three priS. oners left here yesterday and expect | to reach Douglas Friday night. Joe Speer. of Douglas, who came here by train, is driving the car back.

Election of Super
 visors Still PuzzIinu

There seems t. be soiis confusion still regarding the ststus of the mem. bers Of the beard of supervisors as re- g.rds the co,ning election. but be that as 1t may, the Attorney Generals ffice gave nut an opinion on the met. ter February 2ith of this year. In brief, Assistant Attorney GensrsiLes lie 0 Hardy, who gave the opinion ssys after quoting the law ou the sub- iect;
 Ut w:li be observed that the redis. tricting of the Various counties of the state into supervisoral districts by
 he board of supervisors shsll be
 msde on the first Monday in Septem- ger next preceding the general el C.
 tion Tor state and county officers.
 The first Monday in Sfptember pre- cedirg the next g neral election fails on the Ith dsy of that month. Under
 the provisions oi the primary Jaw. the
 primary Tor the next general election
 will be held on the eighth Tuesday
 prior to the next general election, Il
 which falls CD the 3rd day of Novem-
 Der. The next primary election.
 therefore, vii! fall on the s b day of
 Sepsenber. It, therefore, appears
 that the next primary election will be
 held one day after the date prescribed
 for the redis,rleting of the various
 counties of the state iato supervisorai
 distr cts. Ie is obvious, therefore,
 that the boards of supervisors of the
 variou' conn ies of the state cannot
 divide the counties into supervisorsl
 districts before the time prescribed by
 law for the filing Of nom in atiop papers
 by candidates for boards Of supervisors.
 m vie Of he fact that Section , of
 the primtry law Irescribes that ptr-
 sons desiring to b come a candidate
 at a primary election .hsll file his nomination petition not less than ! twenty nor more than sixty days be- fore the primary election. In view . ct this fac'. i, i- the opinion of this department that candidates for su.. 7 pervisors in the various counties Of ? the state will will not be effected by
 Chapter 5l, supra, but they should e be nominated and elected from the l county at large, as had heretofore been e the custom, rather than from super = vIsoral districts"
 [ And in conclusion, he says, "This e opinion should not be construed to D prohibit tbe boards of supervisors oi = the various coun ,ies of the state rom n redistricting their counties into su- T provisional districts, but, on tue con- = trary, we hold that such districts f should be made at the time prescribed by law. We only advise you that, be. e cause of the inconsistency of the lew e and the dates for fling nomination . papers, candidates fer supervisors can. not be nominated and elected from g supervisoral districts at the next pri-
 mary and general election"
 ,. From the foregoing it is the opin- | ion of many that there arises chance e Tor several suits in the shape of in. e Iunctions and the further question e that if the new supervisors are to be elected under the old law that it must t nsturslly follow that only two super 6 sisofs will be elected and tie hold. = over man remain on the board for an- t other two years, such being the old y law.
