JACK BARRY, NEW MANAGER OF REL soX.
players to develop their own individu-
ality. Connie has brought out some
mighty smart ballplayers, yet there is
not a single former Athletic player
who has ever made a success Of run
ming a ball club.
Harry Davis, for years captain Of the
team and Mack's right hand man ever
since he came to Philadelphia, tried his
hand at managing the Cleveland club
in 1912, but was not even permitted to
finish out the season, giving way to
Joe Birmingham in the latter part of
the campaign.
Then there was Monte Cross, Barry's
predecessor as Athletic shortstop and a
player of much the same type as Bar
ry. Monte was not much of a hitter,
but likely to come through in the
pinch, and he won his greatest fame by
his uncanny ability in the short field.
Monte was also a very smart ball play
er and was to be groomed for a big
league managerial job in Kansas City.
However, after two seasons Of failure
in Kansas City Monte went down a
| peg and tried his luck in class B, but
| did no better in Scranton than in Kan
sas City. Then he went to umpiring.
Both of the two quaint outfelders of
the Athletic champions Of 1902 and
1905, the white haired Topsy Hartsel
and the big, plump Socks Seybold, also
made izzles Of their attempts to man
age teams in the American association.
Both tried their luck in Toledo, the
team now bossed by Roger Bresnahan.
Seybold was appointed to the Toledo
post in 1909, and despite big Socks
failure Toledo was willing to give an.
other Mack man a trial. Hartsel man.
aged the club in 1912, but was no more
successful than Socks.
Lave Cross, who was captain Of the
1902 and 1905 champion teams, man
aged several teams in the deep sticks
without ever getting anywhere.
However, most Of these players be
longed to the old Athletics and were
severing their connections with the
club around the time Barry was break
ing in. There seem to be several play
ers Of the more famous team, the cham
pions Of 1910, 1911, 1913 and 1914, WIN
might make successful managers.
Jack Coombs. who is Robby's mar
Friday on the Brooklyns, would un
questionably make n high class man
ager. and Stuffy McInnis, the veteran
kid, some FIVE or ten years from nov
should show managerial ability. Ed
die Collins, the most famous membe
of the later day team. does not seem t
hold any managerial ambitions.

HOW TO CATCH FLIES.
The Best Fly Trap and the Best Poi.
son Bait.

OWL SdbIs #
The best fly trap is a wire screen cyl
inder with a one of the same material
inside Of Its lower part, the pointed
end up. Beneath the cone is placed the
bait in any convenient shallow recep-
tacle. The fly, seeking light, flies up
and out Of the small end Of the cone,
thereby entering the cylinder, from
which it can find no escape.
One can find such traps anywhere
for sale. But it is easy to make them,
and when homemade they are just as
good, while costing only a fraction of
the price.
Such traps, of course, should be set
where the flies most do congregations,
for instance, on the sunny side Of a
building out of the wind. A butcher
shop is a great place for a fly trap; 1t
will catch quarts Of them in a day.
When the fly trap is full the insects
are easily killed by immersing the trap
In hot water.
Ely paper of the sticky kind is
a first class fly catcher. One does moi
need to buy 1t. Take two pounds OF
rosin and a pint Of castor oil. Mix
them and heat until the stuff looks like
molasses. Smear 1t while hot with an
ordinary paint brush on old newspa
pers. A dozen sheets of 1t will cost 4
cent

WHY CoRNs HURT.
Usually Result From Wearing Shoes
Too Small For the Feet.

Usually Result From Wearing Shoes
Too Small For the Feet.
Corns, like c%orsets, boarding houses
and late hours, are a ena to ones
sweet disposition.
Corns are hard growths which occur
on the toes or some other part of the
feet. They are generally the result of
wearing a shoe too small for the foot.
They are chickering's of the outer
layer of the skin, in the center of
which is a nail-like peg, which projects
downward and hurts when pressed
upon. Soft corns form between the
toes and are only different from others
in that they are soaked with perspira-
ton all the time. The corn itself is
composed Of a lump of the outer part
of the skin, which is caused by the
pressure Of the shoe at that spot.
| However, the corr would not result
unless the pressure were taken off at
intervals, and this, of course, is done
when you take the shoe off. 1t stands
! to reason that if the pressure were
continuously applied to this spot the
skin, instead Of overgrowing at that
precise point, would waste away. The
~overgrowth Of the skin is due to the
irritation produced by the pressure.

WHY -
You Should Save Surplus
Fruits and Vegetables

n JAKE your ground work for you
lVl and the nation. Idle ground is
waste. This is no time for
waste or idleness.
You can raise some vegetables for
your family, no matter how small a
piece Of ground you have.
All idle ground utilized in the pro-
duction Of vegetables means more food
for those who have no ground at all.
If your garden at any time produces
more than you can use Immediately
do not allow the surplus to spoil.
Can surplus beans, peas, corn, toma-
toes, beets, spinach, pumpkin and
| squash for winter use.
Can or preserve apples, peaches,
pears, cherries, ounces, berries and
other cultivated and wild fruits.
Every car of vegetables or fruit and
every jar Of preserved food means that
you have saved food materials that
would have otherwise been wasted.
Can or store root crops, cabbage and
other vegetables properly so that they
will keep well and supply you with
food when the garden ceases to pro
duce.
The United States department Of ag
riculture, Washington, or your state
agricultural college or county agent
will give you explicit directions fol
raising vegetables and will tell you Of
simple methods for canning vegetables
and fruit at home with ordinary home
[ utensils

The best poison bait for flies, says
the United State bureau Of entomology,
is made by putting two ta~blespoonfuls
Of formalin obtained at any drug
store) into a pint of milk and water,
half and half Of the two. Put the stuff
in saucers in places frequented by flies.
A little bread in it helps. But take
care that children and animals do not
drink it, for it is deadly poison. Keep
all other liquids out of reach Of the
flies. They are thirsty all the time, and
the stuff will kill them off by whole
sale.

"Blanchette," q story Of French peas
ant and aristocradc life. was unfolded
by members of the Thester Francais at
a matinee yesterday afternoon A small
but appreciative audience witnessed the
performance.
Blanchetts, the daughter of the keeper
Of the town saloon. aspired to things be-
yond her station In life. Refusing the
marriage offers OF young peasant. the
girl is lured to Paris by the call of pleas
ure- She endures the usual treatment
that unprotected girls receive, and with
torn and bleeding soul, ideals smashed,
and illusions scattered, she returns to
her fathers house Her mothers inter-
cession wins her fathers forgiveness.
She accepts the peasant whom she scorn-
ed before Paris had opened her eyes. And
SO the curtain fell on another happy
ever afterward' story.
A thread OF the old and new military
spirit Of France was woven into the play
by the introduction of a soldier OF the
old school and a boy Of the new school
Much applause greeted the outbursts Of
patriotic speeches made by the soldier

Just how the women will dispose OF the
