Nowadays most managers direct every
play, particularly on the offensive. but
not so in the old days.
Il think the reason for that is that
more men come up into fast company
now than before. and the major leagues
as rule, cannot wait until a player
is thoroughly ripe. AS consequence.
the major league team generally is.
comparatively speaking, inexperienced.
In the old days the man who came up
had the experience and could be relied
on 70 do the right thing at the right
time; otherwise he would never have
come from the bushes at all.
In conclusion, 1 want to mention
one more thing that a manager who
wants 10 become successful must learn
to do. He must learn TO smile, smile
all the time; smile harder when things
go wrong than when they go right If
a team believes that the manager is
worried and discouraged it is going to
become worried and discouraged
That's disastrous. l know its tough
thing to keep on smiling when things
break wrong, but its as necessary as it
is tough"

bring a man success in the mercantile
world will make the big league man

about running his bail club and he car

said
1t isn't the easiest thing in the

play lets down the minute he thinks
he IS being knitted. He loses his
respect for and his confidence Ia the
manager.
The successful manager must learn
20 carry himself with dignity NJ all
times and earn the respect OF his men.
BY this do not mean he should not
be n good fellow. The manager who
gives himself airs and holds aloof
from his men viii never get by in the
world. He must meet them in a spirit
OF good fellowship all the time.

What is the difference between the

there isn't much difference.
Il say this. however: it wasn't nee

ITALY PROPOSES
TO stop COTTON
GOING TO SWISS
Action Regarded as First
Step of Italians to Enter
the War.

Washington, April 23.-Reports to
the state department that Italy pro-
poses to stop all cotton going into
Switzerland through Italian ports
without guarantee that it will not get
to Germany, indicates to American
officials that Italy is about to join
the allies in their war with Germany.
Italy became alarmed over the fact
that for eight months Of 1924 the
exports from the United to Switzer
land were only worth $549,O00 and in
1914-15 for the same period they
trebled in value, the total being ST.
$4,000. The exports from the United
States to Sweden and Denmark in
creased five times in value during the
same period.
Inasmuch as the Swiss minister
stated his belief that the stoppage
of cotton was by the allies, Secretary
Bryan has forwarded his complaint
to Ambassador Page at London for
presentation to the British foreign
office.
