his superiority over the other fellows.
He was continually going through
some of his difficult tricks on the side
whenever he thought the physical di-
rector was watching him Bert had
his eye on the leaders corps.
He Was Note Appointed.
When the time came for the appoint
ment Of new leaders, to his surprise,
his name was not on the list After
the class he came to the boys work
secretary with the question, why
didn't the physical director make me a
leader? / know am a lot better than
appointed"
Here was the chance to set Bert
right on some of his mistaken ideas.
He was told that he had been under
consideration as a leader
Where He Failed.
He had many things in his favor but
ne also had other qualities that made
his appointment impossible He was
reminded of a number of times when
he had been taken to task for bully
ing smaller boys when he had been
reprmanded for using language that
to say the least, was unbecoming any

boy who expected to be a gentleman.
and certain other of his known habits
were pointed out to him as undesir-
able. He was brought to see that
leadership means much more than be-
ing a good athlete, as desirable as that
quality is in a gym leader; in short.
IL was impressed upon him that in
leader we wanted a boy to whom his
squad could look up to as a pattern,
whom we could hold up as an examDle
for the other boys to follow, not only
as n stunt artist" but in other ways
as well.
Appointed; He's Improving.
Bert got the point. He promised
that If he were put on the leaders
corps he would make a desperate ef-
fort to measure up to the job. He
was given the chance. He is not vet
a model leader, for his old tendencies
sometimes crop out and he has to be
cautioned not to try to bully his
squad in the gym through their exer-
cises. but he is improving wonderfully
and is fast learning the truth of the
old adage that he who would rule
others must first be master Of him

by laying down a good bunt. Wagner
got three hits and base on balls for
perfect average.
Red SOx, p Athletics. I.
The world champion Red SOx opened
the season with a to 1 victory over
the Athletics at Boston. With Bush
pitching in the sixth, a poor throw by
Pick opened the way to a Boston run
when Horten's single sent Hoblitzel
home. In the next inning, Barry's in
field hit, errors by Bush on two hunts,
and Scotts sacrifice fly scored the sec
Ond run. 1t was not until the ninth
that Philadelphia scored, 4 base on
balls, an error by Ruth and Lajoie's
single sending in the tally.
Browns 9; Indians, 1.
The reorganized Indians lost their
opening game to the St Louis Browns,
to l, chiefly because they could not
hit Bobby Groom, eX-Federal league
pitcher. Mitchell, who started the game
for Cleveland was lacking in control
and. after he had passed the first two
batters in the sixth inning, gave way
to Bagby, who was very effective af-
ter that inning. The support given the
Cleveland pitchers was ragged Iris
Speaker played his first game as a
Cleveland player. He fielded spectacu-
larly and walked three times, being
passed purposely twice. The crowd was
the largest that ever witnessed an
opening game in Cleveland. Sisler
featured with a home run.
Tigers, 4; White SOx. O.
Pitcher Harry COveleskie made four
hits. one more than he allowed the
whole White SOx team, and Detroit
won, 4 to O. scoring all it's runs in the
first two innings Long hits by Cobb,
Bush, Veach and Coveleskie, who in
cluded triple and double in his four
were factors in the Tigers victory and
caused the retirement Of Russell in the

Physical Director Y VI. c. A.

ITO be a leader in the gymnasium
is always a coveted honor among
- the Y. NJ. c. A. boys, but the
qualifications of a good leader are
often very much misunderstood by the
aspirants to this position An inter-
esting example is the case Of a boy
whom we will call, for convenience,
Bert.
He was Of the aggressive physical
type who easily mastered difficult
stunts in the gym, and was proud Of
the fact that he could whip any boy
Of his age in his crowd. In the gym
classes he always did the exercises set
by the director with a just-watch-me-
do-it air and usually wound up by do
ing an extra turn or two just to show

General Otto Liman Won Sanders,
the German master of Constantinople,
dictator of Turkish war policies and
daring military commander, is 81 years
old today The last name of the Cen
eral he derived from his wife, a Scotch
woman of an old family of the no.
bility. The brilliant officer was one of
several Generals selected by the Kais-
er to receive that precious little word
won" 10 add to his name, on the oc-
casion of the emperor's jubilee. For
Sanders is a Kaiser man." believing
that the Emperor has been divinely
called TO lead the Fatherland to vic
tory. During the present war, the
General has been wounded at least
once, while at the front of the Cali
poll peninsula. He is assigned by the
Kaiser to defend Constantinople. the
most important strategic position in
all Europe. General Won Sanders was
born at Stolp in Pomerania, on Feb
ruary rs, 1855. He was one of the
most brilliant officers at the military
school, and won advancement in his
early years. He was selected some
years ago to reorganize the Sultan's
army, and he took with him a score
o. the best German officers. Later
the Kaiser sent thousands of his pick
ed troops and hundreds of officers into
to Turkish army, so that when Ger
many trained her guns on the fortress
of .Liege, the Kaiser possessed a valu-
able military concentration in Turkey.
It has frequently been reported that
the Turks did not take kindly to the
domination of the army by the Ger
mans. Whatever methods were used,
it is certain that Won Sanders and his
fellow officers effected the Kaiser's
aim.
