Natural Leader? Well
Watch the Pirates If He Is

The word comes from Pittsburgh
that Hugo Bezdek. newest Of mana
gers. is to succeed because Bezdek is
natural leader OF men"
Natural leaders Of men are rare to
say the least and such a statement
coming at this time may be prema-
ture.
"The men follow Bezdek's orders
implicitly" the article goes on to say
WHICH II true. means great deal for
the Pirates.
But this statement is also open to
criticism. News dispatches recently
told of the suspension OF Al Mamaux
for breaking training rules.
II Bezdeks orders were being car
ried out it is certain this wouldn't
have happened and it is evident that
the infractiOns of MamauX were seri-
Gus. for pitchers with the. latent abil-
ity of Mamaux are not suspended FOR
trivinlities.
Scanning the records for several
years YOU will find only a few mana
gers who in the narrow sense OF the
term can be called natural leaders OF
men.
Frank Chance is one OF them. A
weaker man than Chance could not
bave hanlled the Cubs Of a decade

ago, But Chance could not make man
ayers out Of his own men-witness
the failure Of Tinker Connie Mack is
a natural leader and strict disciph-
marian. John McGraw is a natural
leader None but natural leader
could handle the bunch Of tempera-
ment on his ball club. Bill Carrigan,
Hughie Jennings. Fred Clarke, per-
haps Moran and Higgins, and GER
tainly. in view OF his work this year
Christy Matthewson are natural lead
ers. That about let's them out.
Another glance over the records
show the great stars of the game who
have tried and failed. just because
they -ere not natural leaders. There's
Tinker, already mentioned, Hal
Chase, Lajoie. Stovall and Harry
Davis. Bob Wallace, Roger Peckin-
! peugh, Norman Elberfeld and others.
Maybe Bezdek has tiff so watch

Alarsans' record reads something the

ROBBIE MAY Be FAT But

The fact that Ty Cobb and one
or two others this year have succeed
ed in making I'VE hits in 1--WE times
at bat in a game recalls the greatest
OF all records for hitting IN one game
which dates back TO the days when
rotund Wiibert Robertson was will
lowy catcher on he Baltimore club.
In 1892 Robinson made seven hits in
seven times al bat in a game between
Baltimore and s. Louis.
Honus Wagner once collected seven
hits in seven times at bat In two
games Of double header Honus
made a total OF 16 bases on two
homers. three doubles and a brace Of
singles
This record was excelled by Nap

Our Wisdom Teeth.

The wisdom teeth are the four last
mclar teeth to grow. They come one
on each side Of each jaw and arrive
somewhere between the ages of TWEEN
ty and twenty-five years. The name
IN given them because it IS supposed
that when a person has developed
physically and mentally to- the point
where he has secured these last four
teeth he has also arrived at the age of
discretion. 1t does not necessarily
mean that one who has cut his wisdom
teeth is wise, but that. having lived
long enough to grow these. which com
plete the full set OF teeth. the person
has passed sufficient actual years that.
il he has done what he should to fit
himself for life. he should have come
by that time at the age Of discretion
or wisdom. As Il matter Of fact, these
teeth grow at about the same age ia
