CUE FROM R0BBY
Big League Managers Take
Tips From Brooklyn Boss.
He Always Out-Tricks His
Tricky Fate.
BY JACK NEIOCk.

New York, Sept. 10.-Baseball man
ayers who are up against it for good
infielder now and then may take
cue from Uncle Wilbert Robinson, of
the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Your Uncle Wilbert is a resourceful
person. and that's one of the reasons
why he's a big league manager But
even Robby's resourcefulness was tax
ed to the utmost a short time ago
when he faced the problem of finding
man to fill George Cutsh VS. shoes
at second base, for, when George
sprung a flat tire and was forced to
put his moniker on the hospital list,
there was no one around the Dodger
camp VINO could be showed into the
breach.
But Robby found a way cut. He
wigwagged a few signs to Hi Myers,
one of his five outfielders, and Hi
came to the rescue by covering the
keystone sack to queens taste. After
a few games at second base Hi got so
handy at taking throws and cutting
off base hits that Cutshaw wasn't
missed, and it is probable that next
season Myers will be the regular Sec
ond baseman of the Dodgers, for Cut
shaw has apparently seen his best days
as an infielder, and may sever his con-
Eectiops with. the. Dodgers at the cose
J of the present season. -

PALE HOSE REST
They Are Now Seven Games
Ahead of Red SOx.
Giants Start Long Road Trip in
a Few Days.

New York Sept. 10.-With only six
teen games left on their schedule and
with a rest of several days scheduled
for them now. the White Sox today
stand seven games in the lead of
American league. A half game was
gained when Cleveland forfeited ITS
game to them Sunday.
Boston opens today with the Sen
ators in Washington and will meet the
Yankees before returning to Fenway
Park to finish the season. Twenty
four games are left for the Red SoX,
but only twenty three can be played
owing to Saturdays postponement at
Philadelphia.
Sox to Detroit.
The White Sox open their next Sc
rieS Friday in Detroit. Two games
are scheduled, but a postponed con-
test makes it necessary to play three
games.
Much easier work confronts the
Chicagoa on this trip than on the
last swing they took around the east
ern end of the circuit. They are
should enable Clarence Rowland to
manipulate his men so that they will
enter the closing days in fine shape
to meet the Giants in the world s
+ series.
The Sox have been much better at
home than abroad. Not a startling
thing, but they will have to look hard
and long, the chances are, to find a
strain under which to crack on this
trip.
The Giants will bid New York
goodbye until the big series after they
finish a session that opens today with
Brooklyn. They probably will depart
with at least as much of a lead as
they now possess, which stands at ten
games.

Chicago, Ill, Sept. 1O.-"General'

RED CROSS CORPS
To FEED SOLDIERS
Units Organized to Give Refresh,
ments to Moving Troops.

Adopting the plan of the refresh
ment corps OF the District OF Column
bia chapter of the American Red
Cross, Harvey D. Gibson. general
manager of the Red Cross, wired the
managers OF the thirteen divisions Of
the society last night to organize SIM
liar canteen committees in chapters
of the larger cities to provide refresh
| ments for the soldiers, next month,
while en- route to camps in different
parts OF the country-nearly l,0oO,OOO
men in all. This step was taken in
response to a request made by Secre-
tary of War Baker yesterday.
The Red Cross had already issued to
its chapters a model plan and sug-
gested organization for refreshment
units similar to that worked out by
the District of Columbia chapter.
The refreshment corps of the local
chapter is in charge of Mrs. Larz An
derson, and was yesterday in service
at the training camp at Fort Myer
where they regularly distribute sand
wiches, pie and coffee to the soldiers.
The women also served more than 400

The Secretary of War has directed
that representatives of the Red Cross
be kept advised as to the movement
of troop trains. in order that at
points where trains stop the Red
Cross chapters may be able to see
to it that their comfort is cared for.
The equipment for a single refresh
ment unit provides enough coffee, for
instance, for 100 men. Meals sug-
gested consist of coffee or iced tea,
sandwiches, sausages and cold beef.
with buns or pies. Special prepara-
tions will be made for sick and
wounded.
As a precautionary measure against
outbreaks of epidemics in the can
tonment camps IN this country. the
medical advisory committee of the
Red Cross war council has Just de-
cided to equip five laboratory rail-
road cars which will be prepared for
emergency work. Each will have a
staff of FIVE or more e.perts.
This plan has been commended bv

In civilian life there is time for argu-
ment. You may have better ideas
than your boss about how a certain
thing should be done and possibly may
convince him and get his original
orders changed. In army life nothing
OF this kind can be permitted. The
Oncer IN charge always has the full
responsibility. Whatever orders he
gives must be instantly obeyed. 1t is
lar better to take action, even though
the thing may not be done in the
pest possible way, than it is to stand
still and debate. Lack of Immediate
action in the crisis of a battle might
mean that the army would be defeated,
thousands Of lives lost, and possibly
the honor of the country stained.
The army is governed by military
law. This means that soldiers are not
brought to trial in civil courts, ex-
cept for certain serious crimes, but are
subject TO military courts of inquiry,
summary courts, and Courts-martial.
However, this Will never be a question
OF much importance to the great ma
Jority of men in the national army.
Winning Victories.
SONCGSS III W llHllS VICTORIES is the
OBJECT for with the army exists. In
comparison nothing else counts. Every
ohcer and every soldier must be ready
to make any sacrifice, big or little, to
accomplish this object. An officer NAV
spend years in working out solutions
to military problems, only to find in
the end that all the credit for what he
mas done is swallowed up in the gen.
eral reputation OF the army. If this
proves to be the case, he has no cause
Tor complaint. 1t is the rule of the
army that everything must be done
Tor the Sood of the service"
In the same way you may be called
upon to carry through some danger
ous mission or to perform unpleasant
dIt'a5. Every such call is an oppor-
tunity to show your loyalty to the
service and to the nation. Remember
in all these cases that hundreds of
thousands of other men in the army,
from top to bottom, like yourself are
working first and all the time for the
success of the team.
1t is usually the army with the
strongest team spirit that fights its
way through to victory. Try to culti-
vate that spirit in the national army.
both in yourself and among your com
rades.

LESSON NO. 12- TEAMWORK IN THE ARMY.

SO far in this course We have been
taking up some Of the problems which
each soldier has to face and solve for
himself; how to adjust himself as
quickly as possible to the routine of
camp life; how to keep himself and
all his belongings clean in spite OF
the difficulties in the way; how to
look after his own health and COM
fort; how to take care of arms and
equipment; and how to get real enjoy
ment. as we'll as benefit, out of army
life
Your army life will be more interest
ing if you know in a general way how
the team is organized. This will en-
able you TO see more clearly where
you fit in and what is expected of
you.
If you have been working for a
business concern, you are already
familiar with many of the elements
of army organization. You have been
in touch with the same things under
different names.
Need For Teamwork.
In a factory or store or office
wherever large numbers of people are
working together-there Is almost
always some one in direct charge of
each group Of workers. This person
may be called a foreman in the shop,
a chief clerk in an office, a floor
walker in a department store, or by
any one of a number of other titles;
in the army We call him a corporal or
a sergeant. Going up a step, you
know that in every large concern
there are numerous officers who take
charge of various departments of
the business such as the superinten-
dent. the traffic manager. the adver-
tising manager. the sales manager.
the secretary. the vice president, and
so on; in the army We call the men
in corresponding positions captains,
majors, colonels, and generals. Finally,
