The one striking improvement in
baseball in recent years is the selec-
ton of higher-class, brainier and more
stud1ous men as managers.
A brief study of the managers may
give some line on what their teams
will be, for the team in every in
stance is reflection of the personal
tty Of its leader:
George Stallings, Braves-Big, i'm
pressive and thoughtful. The closest
student of baseball in the game. Fair
with his men off the field, slave
driver on it.
Patrick Moran, Phillies-Quiet,
earnest, thoughtful fellow. A trife
easy-going and untried as a disciplin-
arian.
Roger Bresnahan, Cubs-McGraw
school Of managers. Great judge Of
pitchers. Fights for everything. Well
liked by some players. disliked by
others.
Charlie Herzog, Reds-Smartest of
the managers. New School manager.
using much of McGraw's tactics. Very
brainy man On and off the field, and
good fellow.
Miller Higgins, Cardinals-A clev-
er, thoughtful fellow. Much improved
by last years experience. Knows the

judging pitchers.
Wilbur Robinson, Dodgers-Close
student of game; too good-natured on
and off the field.
Fred Clark, Pirates-Hard-driving.
dead-in-earnest fellow. Wearing un-
der the long strain.
Bill Carrigan, Red Sox-Good-na-
tured, "good-fellow" type. Improved
greatly last year.
Bill Donovan, Yankees-Good-na-
tured, easy going. Student of pitch
ers.
Connie Mack, Athletics = Quiet,
forceful and thoughtful. Success due
to selection and handling of men.
Clark Griffith, Nationals-Best judge
of pitchers and conditions in the
game Hard loser.
Hugh Jennings, Tigers-Aggressive,
hard-driving manager. Great leader
off the field.
Clarence Rowland, White Sox-Ag-
pressive, hustling, Jennings type.
Fiery leader on field. Unknown guam
tity.
Branch Hickey, Browns Studious,
brainy leader and quick thinker.
John McGraw-Well, he's John Nc

NOTES

Bill Hinchman is Pittsburgh's lead
ing batter.
Hans Wagner is still playing re-
markable ball for the Pirates.
Ray Fisher, the Vermont schoolrnas-
ter, is winning regularly for the Yam
KEGS.
Connie Mack is seeking to sign
Third Baseman Carroll of Fordham
college.
The umpire, may his decisions al
ways be right; but, right or wrong, the
umpire.
The Pirates are playing real base
ball these days and will soon be up
in the select circles.
Hugh Bedient, former Red Sox
curver, is having hard time of it
in the Federal ranks.
lt is raLnor siam at ErGQ MorKl0
for McGraw to put fellow named
Brainerd in his place at first base, is
it not?
Jawn McGraw's present opinion of
John Tener may be judged by the
statement that he wishes Tom Lynch
would come back.
Dell, the, Dodgers new pitcher, is
going along at good clip. "Wheezer,"
as he is known, was given trial by
the st. Louis Nationals a few seasons
ago.
Jack Fournier has discovered that 1t
helps his batting to have Eddie Collins
hit ahead of him. After the pitcher
gets through with Collins the others
look easy.
The Alexanders and such may sur
pass Tesreau modicum in proficiency
In the pitching art, but none of them
has any more sand than the big man
and not many the skill.
The good showing made by the Yam
KEGS in the early stages has been due
in great part to the fine work of the
three Rays-C Caldwell. Heating and
Fisher-who shone in the box.

PLAYER IS ECCENTRIC
Rube WaddeIl Had Nothing on
Southpaw Pitcher Evans.
TwIrIer Was Never Quite Good Enough
for Majors and Pitched in Almost
Every Minor League Of Note
in the Country.

Rube Waddell has been called the
most eccentric character the national
game has ever known, but RUDE prob
ably gained the reputation because ne
was a great twirler and constantly De-
fore the major league public. But the
real eccentric person is Rube Evans,
southpaw pitcher, who was never
quite good enough for the majors.
Evans has pitched in almost every
minor league Of note in the country,
and earned a nationwide reputation
as a squirrel" His most amusing
stunt probably was the biggest bone"
that ever was pulled" on ball field.
He was pitching for Portland few
years ago when the squeeze play was
all the rage because of the manner
in which the Athletics were executing
the play. The opposing teams were
using it with such regularity that
Manager McCredie was in a rage
when men were on third with none or
one out
Finally after the play had been
worked on Evans twice in one inning,
McCredie said:
"The next time that they try that
play, bean him (meaning, Of course,
the batsman), that will stop them"
An inning later the opposing team
tried the squeeze. There he goes"
was the cry set up by Evans team
mates. Imagine the surprise and ex-
element in the grounds when Evans
whirled about and threw straight as
an arrow at the base runner. His
aim was good and the ball struck the
runner just back of the ear and
stretched him out cold A riot al
most followed and Evans was lucky
to escape being mobbed.
On the way back to the hotel, Nc
Creole said: What the deuce were
you thinking of, you big lunkhead?"
you told me to bean him, didn't
you? Why didn't you say the batter?
I thought you means the base run
ner."

villages of France which lay in the line
Of advance and of retreat of a great
army. In the days to come, when there
is a final reckoning to fix responsible
ity for the destruction of these fair
places of France and Cor the killing of
more than a few noncombatants,
there will be a controversy as bitter as
that which has marked the battling
from the Marine, the high point of the
German advance, to the Aisne, where
the German now is entrenched, with
the Frenchman on the offensive and
striking daily and boldly at his front.
Included technically within the field
of war operations today is large part
of France. Virtually all the scene of
the battle of the Marne is forbidden
ground to all persons except those who
so with proper credentials.
It is my intention to take my read
ers through some of these desolated
places of France; to tell simple and
uAcolored story of their condition to-
day as my eyes saw them, and to re-
peat OCCASIONALLY the words of men and
of women who saw the acts of destruc-
ton and who have formed their own
opinion as to the reasons therefor
One day the truth underlying all this
ravage will be known. The world
probably will continue to withhold its
Judgment, but the fact remains that a
score or more of thriving French viii
lagos have persisted from the earth
after a manner that seemingly will not
admit of the excuse or the explanation
that It is simply the result of the acts
OF ordinary and so-called civilized war
fare.

Rresnahan Racka Tener.

Manager Bresnahan of the Cubs has
taken sides with Governor Tener and
Ban Johnson against the emery ball.
Several of the Cubs pitchers have
shown disposition to toy with it in
practice just for the fun of the thing,
so Bresnahan has issued an edict that
he will slap a fine on any man who
even roughens the ball. He believes
that ability to use the forbidden
curve might act as a temptation and
cause some of his twirlers to subject
the Cubs to the possibility of forfeit,
ing a game through its use.

Were Shot as Spies.

The cure of Vaubecourt, a priest
who stayed Loyalty at his post, told
me that the French soldiers were in
uniform and in advance of the enemy's
lines and that therefore they could not
have been spies. The Germans, how
ever, have said that these soldiers
were spies and it was on this ground
they shot them.
The priest of Vaubecourt has gath
more. He is rAbbe Perrenot. He was
sentenced to be shot by the order of
the commanding officer of the invad-
ing army. He added that this officer
was a good deal of brute but that
his immediate junior in command was
soldier and gentleman. The junior,
he said, secured his release. So one
hears the stories and so one may or
may not pass judgment as he will.
AS things are, however, the village
of Vaubecourt as a village of homes
and houses is no more, but the people
are coming back to find the May sun
shining on the ruins and showing forth
the rava ges of storm that has passed

SAVE YOUR HAIR!
 25 CENT BOTTLE
 STOPS DANDRUFF
Every bit of dandruff disappears and
 hair stops coming out.
Try this! Your hair appears glossy, abundant, wavy and
 beautiful.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy hair is mute evidence of neglected scalp; of danlruff-that awful scurf.
 There is nothing so destructive to tte hair as danGruff. It robs the hair of its lustre, it's strength and it's very life; eventually producing feverish- I.ess and itching of the scalp, whica if not reme edied causes the hair roots to shrink, loosen and die-then the hair falls out fast. A little Dander- inc tonight-ncw-any time-wili surely save your hair.
 Get "a, 25-cent bottle of KnoWleton's Danderine from any drug store or toilet counter, and after the first ap- plication your hair will '.ake on that life, lustre and luxuriance which is so beautiful. It will become wavy and fluffy and have the appearanc : Of abundance, an incorparable gloss and softness'; but what will please you most will be after just a few weeks use, when you will actually see a lot of fine, do.wny hair-new hair-growing all ever the scalp.
 Danderine is to the hair what fresh showers of rain and sunshine are to vegetation. It goes right to yhe roots, invigorates and strength cns them. It's exhilarating and life producing properties cause the hair to grow long, strong and beautiful
