The one striking improvement In
baseball In recent years--in fact.
the one Improvement. for In many
respects the game has deteriorated.
Is the selection of higher class.
brainier and moro stndious men as
managers.
A brief study of the managers
may give some line on what their
teams will be-: for the team in ev-
cry instance In n reflection OF the
personality OF It's leader. OF course.
no manager can win unless he has
the tools: but II is equally true that
even a good team cannot win with
bad manager. Here's the way
see them:
GEORGE STALLfNGS, Boston
Braves Rig. impressive and
thoughtful. The closest student OF
baseball In the game. Fair with his
men off the field. a slave driver on
II.
PAT MORAN. Philiies-ouiet.
thoughtful. earnest fellow. A trifie
easy going and untried as a dis
cipllnarian.
ROGER BRESNAHAN. Chicago
Cubs--McGraw school OF managers.
Great Judge OF pitchers Fights for
everything. Well liked BY some
players. dislikcd by others.
CHARLIE HERZoG. Cincinnati
Reds-Smartest OF the managers
New-school manager. using much OF
McGraw's tactics. Very brainy man
on and off the field and good fel.
low.
MILLER HUGGrNs. 81. Louis
Cardinals-Ciever. thoughtful fellow
Much improved by last years ex.
perience. Knows the inside game
thoroughly. but weak on Judging
pitchers
WILBUR ROBINSON. BROOKLYN
Dodgers-Close student OF game.
too good .natured on and off field.
FRED CLARK. Pittsburg Pirates
Hard driving. dead In earnest fel

strain.

The making of the American as
ISOLATION into major league calls
to mind reverend gentleman who
lived in our home town. He had
about two acres of orchard and the
county fair offered prize for the
greatest variety OF apples grown In
any one orchard. The parson dis.
played the most bewildering array
of varieties and swept the prize
list. After a while some one re-
marked.
"Parson, how does II come you
have so many varieties of apples in
so small an orchard?'
We'll. I'll tell you" he replied
cannily. IT'S Just as easy 70 name

DOGS TRAIL THIEVES.

Follow Trail to Railroad Crossing
Supposed Robbers Boarded Freight.
The bloodhounds from Columbia az
Wedgefield Thursday took the trail Of
the thieves who broke into the Wedge
field Mercantile Company store and
followed 1t to the Camden crossing.
where the trail seemed to end. 1t
was thought by those with the dogs
that the robbers boarded a freight
thain at this place. as there was a
freight which passed there about one
o'clock at night and it would have
been easy for the parties to get away
on 1t.
The thieves broke into the rear
door of the store by using a ladder
as a battering ram and opened the
safe by working the combination. 1t
is supposed for this reason that the
thieves or at least one Of them must
have been an expert safeman. Be-
sides securing more than two hundred
dollars in cash the thieves took some
shoes, making a change in the store
some shirts, a belt and sweater and
other articles, all Of the best mater
ial in stock.
The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1915-02-24

The live stock business is one of
the most reliable barometers of trade
conditions in the cotton States. When
the demand for farm mules and
horses is brisk it indicates that the
people are hopeful and have conf
dence in the stability of business con-
ditions. For several months the live
stock business has been practically
dead in this section and dealers have
brought in from the west only a few
car loads, but within the past few
weeks there has been q decided reviv-
al in live stock trading, and shipments
Of stock from the western markets
have been resumed.

Mems Union Prayer Meeting.

There was a very large attendance
at the mems union prayer meeting at
the Y. M. c. A. Thursday evening.
A most interesting address was made
by the Rev. DR.. Thayer. His theme
was service and he showed that SER
vice should be personal, practical and
proportionate.
AS it was brought to the attention
that some Of our Jewish friends had
taken offense at certain paper read
at a previous meeting, it was declared
to be the sense of this meeting, as it
was the expressed purpose Of the au-
thor that, aside from a brief refer
ence TO an Old Testament prophecy,
no part Of the paper was directed 10
the Jews any more than 70 all the pco-
pie Of our community, and that any
offense was, therefore, unfounded.

There is n large acreage planted in

There is n large acreage planted in
wheat in Sumter county and even
though the yield per acre should prove
to be smaller than hoped for, there
will still remain good many thou
sand bushels of wheat to be milled.
There are now, SO far as the writer is
informed, but three or four mills
in the county equipped to make flour
and these are all small and with
limited capacity, and unless steps are
taken at an early date to provide
wheat mills the farmers who have
planted wheat will find themselves at
harvest time with an unusable pro-
duct on their hands. At this time
mills are needed to convert the wheat
into -four for home consumption, not
elevators and other facilities for the
shipment Of wheat.
