Baltimore, where his friends number
well into the thousands. II is prob
ably due largely to civic pride that
he has remained at the helm in his
own home town. even when things
we're breaking badly, and he was
being criticised by thoughtless fans.
Has Wen Pennants.
Dunn served his apprenticeship in
the big leagues. He played in both
the National and American Leagues
as a pitcher and an infielder. He was
with McGrsw's Orioles when the
American League broke into the
East
His greatest reputation has been
acquired in the International League,
where he has won many pennants
with his Orioles OF other years To-
day Larry LAjoie, leading the To-
ronto Leafs, admits frankly that he
fears Baltimore more than any other
club in his fight for the champion
ship.
Dunn always has a fighting ball
club. He won't endure any other
type OF player on his team. He has
. rough tongue, never hesitatinR a
moment when he thinks he should
ride" some balky player. And yet
every player with experience under
Jack Dunn always has nice things to
say OF him.
Has Made Much Money.
Jack Dunn's forte seems to be de-
Vslopment Of young players and then
selling them at stiff prices to major
league clubs. Generally he has sold
his players to Connie Mack. but he
made q fat sum OF money when he
sold Ruth and Shore to the Boston
Red Sox and some more when he dis
posed OF Twombly and q couple Of
others to Cincinnati.
This season Dunn has cleaned up
with the New York Yankees and the
Chicago Cubs. Lamar. Thormahlen, |
and Fewster were sold to the Yankees
for $40. 900. Clark Griffith gave him \
Lamar and Thormahlen for nothing.
He picked up Fewster on the lots Of |
Turney Barber. turned over to BSlti- |
the Chicago Cubs for $4,000. and !
Players Wolter and zeider. making =,

Managing q minor league club Is
q tough Job, far tougher than leading |
q major league outfit. Where a big |

that he has always made money. At
baseball meeting in New York two
years ago, when the baseball skies
were dark and dreary because Of the
Federal League. Dunn told me that,
no matter how things went, he always
made money.
Until the Federal League came into
the field l never made less than SIO,-

ln that high tenor voice Of his.
Place for Jack Dunn.
There is a place for Jack Dunn in
the big leagues. There is always a
place for a successful manager. even
As there Is no place for the chronic
loser.
Dunn has taken green players and
made big leAEuers out OF them in a
year or two. He did this with Turney
Barber, who was . dead busher with
the GriImen, but now q live wire
performer on his way to the Cubs.
He did this with Babe Ruth, who
learned baseball with an industrial
school nine in Baltimore. He did this
with Fritz Maisel, a boy from the lots

In these days OF building up w.n-
hing team" Jack Dunn stands PIE
eminent among the managers OF the !

make champions OF veteran teams.

Why he has made as much as $4,000 a
