Resuming with Pat

Gut OF all the pink and white bouquats
tossed here and there this season, Pat
Moran is the one man who has received
far less than his due.
No one has referred to hin: as a Miracle
Man, a Peerless Leader or a Napoleon.
But for all that Moran has turned in
one Of the finest little managing Jobs any
campaign has ever known, Above all
else. he has held club together that In
the past was noted for a fragile morale
up aguinst tho test And In uays OF trial
and tribulation he has held his pose and
directed his club for the future rather
than for the immediate present.
One Example
Here Ia one example Of Morans keen
leadership. After n good start tho Phil
lies began 20 quiver and slip. Several of
his pitchers began to futter and founder
along the way. The temptation was
strong at these spots TO throw in Alexan-
dor out Of turn and check the descent
But Pat held Big Alec out OF the melee
and permitted him to work only in his
turn. No attempt was made to save the
day by oVerworklnB his star As re-
suit Of this sklful management and un-
usual foresight, Moran is now able to
face the stretch with Alexander In prime
shape, ready to give his best.
There were several occasions when It
looked as II the Phillies were pointed to-
ward the bosky dell for a quick disap-
pearance. Other managers around the
landscape were picking them TO break
and fade away. But Moran refused to be
stampeded into taking any unusual risks
He held his clan together, kept them
hustling, and now has "A fine chance to
reap the main N. l.. glory of the year

They speak of winning temperament"
as one might mention the ultimate thing

candidates for the top Then the Giants

Quest and Lenora turned away from

they had been gazing for the last
quarter Of an hour.

Quest stood for a moment shaking
his head. The professor, with a pile
Of newspapers stretched out before
him, was completely engrossed In

sitting in an armchair at the farther
end Of the apartment, was apparently
deep In thought.
