The way the manager has gone to
work to cut down his squad so as to
keep in the salary limit has pleased
every one concerned with the club.
Wag is determined to give Americas
the best team possible and yet keep
within that 5000 limit. Americas is
going to have it demonstrated to her
very conclusiyely that baseball can
be made to support itself right here in
this winning burg.
The can is ready to rattle tonight
and several of the boys being tried
out are due to be handed their re-
leases. Some good material may be
let go, but then the Muckalees can't
play but IL men at that.

What will the manager do? This
much is certain He'll do just like
he wants to as far as running the
team is concerned. The board of d.
rectors have already impressed Jawn
with the fact that he's big boss of the
and that he need not fear
any interference on the part of the di-
rectors. That's the only way to rug
a club, though, after all Wag knows
his business, and the directors are
willing to place every confidence in
him.

CURED. Warsaw has fallen and the

the chance of the Russians long hold
