at an age when the best cannot be ex-
pected of them.
Most of the others are insists.
With the exception of Alexander
and 0scher in the box, Killifer and
Bancroft, there are no men on the
team who rise above mediocrity.
The secret is in the management.
IPat~Moran, the wizard Irishman, has
never been given the credit due him.
He has been able for the last four
years to get more results from his
cripples, insists and old timers than
most managers can get from brilliant
youngsters.
He gets the most from his pitchers
and catchers and makes the others
work. Moran is not slave driver,
He gets results with smile and the
results like the smile won't come Off
And Moran will get lot of heir
