thereby lessen their value to the club
owners.
OF course, it will never be possible
for the magnateS to put their players
in glass cages during the winter
months, but the good of the game"
is certain to force a fight to keep
sport and to keep the players from
stunning the trucks to earn extra
coin.
1t is said that football coaches are
changing their attitude towards strict
training. Players are expected to
keep in training and to sacrifice some
of their luxuries, but the old system
of making the men live on a chalk
mark is passing. The mentors realize
that it is better to put the men on
their honor and let them follow their
natural bent Besides, it is argued
that the sooner a man who doesn't
want to train is weeded from the
squad the better off the squad is. The
best football players are those who
train moderately the whole year
around.
Sandy Griswald says in the Omaha
World-Herald:
s.Ex-President Tip O'NeiI now sees
the handwriting on the wall. He says
if the Western league will make him
a present of one more years salary
he'll retire gracefully. But he'll not
ge. another penny. He's fired bodily,
and that's all there is to 1t.
And he also says:
Tip needn't recommend US Tor the
presidency, for we don't want 1t and
wouldn't have it if presented on a sill
yer salyer. Otto Floto is the guy for
the posish. Give it to Otto.

There are few teams that could have
undergone the tough luck the Braves

illness Of Stallings was heavy blow.

James has not worked right.
StaIlings has more and better mo.
terial than he had last year when he
started his sensational drive. He has
weaker teams to beat. Chicago is the
dangerous stumbling block to the
Braves, as the Cub pitchers seem to
have something on them.
An element working against the
Braves is that they have aroused the
resentment OF several umpires by ag.
gressive tactics and constant nagging.
