Eleven former big league managers
will work in the ranks this year, act
ing as privates after having met with
varying degrees of success in pilot
ing teams in the big rings. Some
of them tried for several years to grab
off pennants, while others were helms
men for only brief periods. Some
came close to realizing their ambi-
tions; others of the squad never got
their clubs out of the second divi-
sion.
Napoleon Lajoie is the most famous
of this brigade of former big leaders
who are now content to let someone
else do the bossing, to take orders
where formerly they issued them.
Five years Lajoie strove to capture
the bunting for Cleveland. Except in
1909, he had his club right up in the
race and battling for the pennant.
With him now on the Athletic roster
is Harry Davis, another ex-Nap man
ager. Davis career as a leader was
brief, being restricted to less than
one season. Between his own faults
and the Discrimination of his players
to cooperate with him, he failed.
The st. Louis American league club
is the only other outfit that has two
ex-managers among the list of pri-
Yates. They are Bobby Wallace, who
ran the Browns for two years, and
Jimmy Austin, who had charge of the
team after Stovall resigned and be-
fore Hickey assumed the reins.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1915-06-17

The other seven former pilots who
are now acting in subordinate posi-
tions are sprinkled among as many
teams. Johnny Evers, erstwhile man.
ager of the Cubs, is merely the
Braves second baseman, but he Is
being richly rewarded for his work.
Red Doom, who was knocked out or
championship or so for accidents
and assertions at Philadelphia, is now
catching for the Reds. Billy Sullivan,
who had his troubles in plotting the
White Sox, has been content with
coaching job, at Minneapolis, this sea-
son, while Jim Mcclure, another one
of the crop of former Cleveland man.
ayers, is coaching the Tiger recruits.
Roger Peckinpaugh, under whose guild
ance the Yankees did so well after
Frank Chance quit his job last year,
Is shortstopping for the Yanks and
not at all anxious to be manager.
In the Federal league are found
three former club leaders who will
draw their pay this year merely as
players. Bill Bradley, with Brooklyn
last campaign, is taking his orders
from George Stovall, manager of the
Kansas City Feds. Hal Chase, who
enjoyed a disastrous season as mana
ger of the Yankees, is satisfied with
the first-base position with the Buff
falo Feds, while Mordecai Brown, de-
posed as manager of the Sloufeds, is
a member of Joe Thinkers pitching
staff at Chicago.

CHAPTER v.

From time to time that day, neigh
bors had ridden up to Spicer South's
stile, and drawn rein for gossip. These
men brought bulletins as to the prog
ress of the hounds, and near shutdown,
| as postscript to their information, a
volley of gunshot signals sounded from
a mountain top. No word was spoken,
but In common accord the kinsmen
rose from their chairs, and drifted to-
ward their leaning rifles.
They're a-comin' hyar," said the
head of the house, CURLY. Samson
ought ter be home. Whar's Tam'rack?'
No one had noticed his absence I'M
| til that moment, nor was he to be
| found. A few minutes later, Samson's
figure swung into sight, and his uncle
met him at the fence.
| Samson, I've done asked We all the
questions I'm a-goin' ter ask ye," he
said, "but them dawgs is maxim fer
this house. They've jest been sighted
| mile below"
Samson nodded.
"Now"-Spicer South's face hard
ened-"I owns down thar ter the road
No man kin cross that fence withouten
choose ter give him leave. Eff ye
wants ter go indoors an stay thar, We
kin do hit-an' no dawg ner no man
haint a-goin' ter ask We no questions.
| But, eff We sees fit ter face hit out, I'd
love ter prove ter these hyar men tibet
us Souths don't break our word. We
done agreed ter this truce. I'd like ter
invite EN- In, an let them damn dawgs
sniff round the feet OF every man In
my house-an' then, when they're
| plumb teetotally damn satisfied, I'd
like ter tell 'em all ter go ter hell.
Thet's the way feels; but I'm a-goin'
ter do jest what We says"
Lescott did not overhear the con-
versation in full, but he saw the old
mans face work with suppressed pas
sion, and he caught Samson's louder
reply.
when them folks gets hyar, Uncle
Spicer, I'm a-goin' ter be a-settin'
right out thar in front I'm plumb
willin' ter invite 'em in" Then, the
two men turned toward the house.
Already the other clansmen had dis
appeared noiselessly through the door
or around the angles of the walls.
Fifteen minutes later, Lescott, stand
ing at the fence, saw a strange cavsl-
cade round the bend of the road. Sew
| eral travelstained men were leading
mules, and holding two tawny and i'm
| patient dogs in leash. In their num-
Der, the artist recognized his host of
two nights ago.
They halted at distance, and in
their faces the artist read dismay, for.
while the dogs were yelping confident
ly and tugging at their cords, young
| Samson South-who should, by their
prejudiced convictions, be hiding out
in some secret stronghold-sat at the
top step Of the stile, smoking his pipe,
and regarded them with lack-luster
absence Of interest. Such a calm re-
ception was uncanny. After a whis-
pered conference, the Lexington man

WAVED FAREWELL BY PROXY
After This, Who Shall Say English
Business Man Is Not Full Of
Resources.

The other morning, as departing
transatlantic steamer was casting on
it's lines and swinging out into the
stream, an elderly business man hast
ily embraced lady who was one of
the passengers, and rushed down the
gang-pIank to the wharf, says the Lon
don Answers.
Going hurriedly up to melancholy
loafer who was watching the busy
crowd, the gentleman drew him behind
a pile of baggage and said:
"Want to earn shilling or two?<
"You bet do"
"You see that lady IN black on the
bridge there?" said the elderly one.
Certainly"
well, that's my wife going abroad.
Now, of course, she'll expect me to
stand here for the next 20 minutes,
while the steamer is backing and fill
ing In, waving my handkerchief and
watching her out Of sight. Dye seer"
IT do, SIR"
"Well. I'm too busy to humbug about
here: stock to buy, biz r, attend to.
She's a little near-sighted. so I'll just
engage you to wave this handkerchief
instead. It's big one. with a red Dor
der and az long as she sees 1t she'll
think it's me. Come up to 202 Bangup
street when they are well of. and I'll
pay you"
"S'posin' she looks through tele.
scope, or sometime"
'sin that case you'll have to bury
your face in the handkerchief and dc
the great weep act.

here thing, an l hustled up an got
tibet corn weeded an now I'm through.
Ef / kin help We out l thought meb-
by" He paused and looked appeal
ingly at the artist
Lescott whistled and then his face
lighted into contentment.
To-day, Samson" he announced,
"Lescott, South and Company get
busy"
It was the first time he had seen
Samson smile, and, although the ex-
preston was one of sheer delight, in
herent somberness loaned 1t a touch
of the wistful.
When, an hour later, the two set
out, the mountain boy carried the par
aphernalia and the old man standing
at the door watched them off with a
half-quizzical, half-disapproving glance.
AS the boy, with remarkable apti-
tude, learned how to adjust the easel
and arrange the paraphernalia, Lescott
sat drinking In through thirsty eyes
the stretch of landscape he had deter
mined to paint.
Then, while he painted, the boy held
the palette, his eyes riveted on the
canvas, which was growing from a
blank to a mirror of vistas-and the
boys pupils became deeply hungry.
The day of painting was followed
by others like it. The disabling of
Lescotts left hand made the constant
companionship of the boy a matter
that needed no explanation or apology,
though not a matter of approval to his
uncle.
Another week had passed without
the temperance Of Tamarack Spicer.
One afternoon Lescott and Samson
were alone on cliff-protected shelf,
and the painter had just blocked In
with umber and neutral tint the crude
sketch Of his next picture.

Wins Game in Kansas City by Making
Pitcher Allison Believe He
Couldn't Hit Curve Ball.

Here is a little story of the craft
of Jimmy Sheckard, who managed
the Cleveland A. A. team last year.
The Cleveland team was playing the
Kansas City Blues, and Jimmy was
tanning with a bunch of Blues near
the visitors bench.
What are you out of the game for,
Jin?" Morry Ruth asked him.
"Oh, I'm getting so 1 can't hit a

Mack Allison was standing near by
and heard the remark. And Mack
was selected to pitch that day.

But Jimmy inserted himself as a
