Cubs Manager
Prefers Class,
Not Quantity
Mitchell Tells How He
Gets Material for Chi
cago Nationals

Quality, not quantity, is what man
Gger requires to build up ball team.
That. at least, is the theory on which
Manager Mitchell of the Cubs is oper-
ating. He is not anxious to corral all
the ball players in the minor leagues
TO make a pennant winner, and is not
eager to take all the mediocre men his
scouts can find. What he insists on
having is class.
Mitchell does not believe in wasting
time and energy on players ne knows
never will make major league material
He does not think a manager ought 10
let his scouts pay out sum after sum
for recruits who do not stand tne
slightest chance of being retained. The
men he is after are those who possess
the talent TO stay with the big snow,
An eXorbitant sum was paid 10 lhe
Baltimore club of the international
League for Outfelder Turner Barber.
Mitchell did not let President Weegn-
man writS out the check until he saw
the man himself and was satiSheG IN
his own mind that Barber was play
er Of more than ordinary ability ana
was destined TO develop into star
lie GSAeQ the cruz W l'"i-N Wv
enormous amount for the player be-
cause he feels he will be worth more
than that to the Cub machine.
Careful Selection
81 would rather buy few men like
Barber than take a chance on nun
bred players for whom the club would
have to pay only $1,000 or $1,000 SAID
Mitchell. when you take player
with ability you are at least sure OF
getting results. But the others ylrtu-
ally are worthless to your club. l
never believe in trying TO bulld up
club with players Of only fair ability.
That system never will win.
II watched Barber IN four games IN
Baltimore, and am convinced he VIII De
a real player. l do not predict that he
will be a wonderful star, but he Will be
one of the steady kind that will help
{ the team. He is tall, rangy fellow,
+ built something like Ty Cobb was when
he first broke into the game. He has
all the chance in the world to develop,
as ne is only twenty-three years Old
. What | liked about him was the way
he picked out the good balls to hit. He
bats left handed, and in one Of the
games against a southpaw he drew three
bases on balls. He got several of the
right handed twirlers. Larry LaJole
is heading the league in batting and
Barber is second. Barber is fast and
likely 10 take an extra base on a hit
any time.

Wind PLANT
Is A SUCCESS

wyndmere. N. D., Jan. 12.-Geo.
Manikowske of the Wind Electric Co.,
returned Sunday on No. 10S, from a
trip to Montana and western North
Dakota where he had been on matters
Of business. While in the western
part Of the state he took 1t into his
head to look up wind generated
electric plant, that the company had
delivered two years ago. to get an
idea Of how the plant was behaving.
In weather which at that particular
time was 20 degrees below zero, the
wheel generated electricity perfectly.
Through it's storage battery it lighted
the buildings on q four-section farm,
operated a wash machine, churn,
vacuum cleaner, fiat iron, cream sep
arator, and ran a pump motor on a
water pressure system. The owner,
T. A. Williams. residing near Cleve-
land, N. D., stated that he had been
without juice twice in two years. and
one time 1t was not the fault of the
machine. The cost of maintenance
had been practically nothing. He also
charges automobile batteries for his
farmer neighbors. With such success
as this, there should be an increased
demand for the wind-driven motor
wheel.

the 500 line train No. 257, going to
Bismarck, circulated and signed a
protest to be sent to the officers OF
