MILLER HUGGINS
WELL THOUGHT.
Of As 4 LEADER
New York Yankee Manager
Is Now Domineering
But Lenient.
PITCHER WATSON
WE'LL DISCIPLINED

RILLER HIGGINS. the new
M manager OF the New York
= = Yankees. occupies a sphere
unique IN managerial ranks. HIS is
a type distinctively different from
any others. Search through the ma
1or leagues and you will find just
one other manager who remotely re-
sembles higgins in the methods he
employs. That man is Clarence Row
land OF the White Sox, SAYS a ST.
Louis writer.
In New York next season baseball
fans will view the sight Of two man
ayers whose policies are diametricaI-
" opposite. providing. OF course. one
can believe the tales Of despotism
related in connection with John J.
McGraw. There is none Of this lat
ter in the makeup Of Higgins. He is
not dOmineerinE manager. He does
not believe that success is born OF
despotism. Nor has his career in s..
Louis been so characterized.
Willing to Take Advice.
Higgins is as willing TO receive ad-
vice as to give And he doesn't seek
suggestions without the fold OF his
own ball club. Time and again he
has called upon members OF the Card
inals TO give suggestions as TO what
they would do in certain instances
and when various plays arose on the
diamond. As result OF this he has
won the confidence Of his players. He
has made them believe they are fully
as potent in the general scheme OF
play as himself.
The story is told that HuEEina
seldom has commanded any OF his
Players to do anything. His or
ders appear in the form Of HuE-
gestions. Here is an instance.
which occurred during n game Mt
st. Louis.
Lee Meadows was having 4 de-
cidedly bad afternoon on the mound.
Il was apparent as early as the third
inning that Meadows would be ex-
ceedingly fortunate to weather the
subsequent two periods. At this
juncture Higgins moved over 20 Leon
Ames on the bench and remarked:
Red. looks like Meadows Is going
to get his. Don't you think you'd bet
ter hit the trail for the bull penn
Might need you later, YOU know"
That incident furnishes a picture
OF one phase OF Miller Higgins as a
manager There is another.
Michigan infantry had the strongest
team on the border, and II would
take nothing short Of a steam roller
to grind down the line OF this eleven.
At TINT time there were ap-
prOximGteIy $4,000 troops in this
district. and as the MfchfgRniteE
won the district title and were
not considered such IN ektraOr-
binary team, Cody can figure on
some stiff opposition in the
championship game.

they can tell more about running

ARKANSAS TENANT FARMERS
TO BUY LIBERTY LOAN BONDS

Tenant farmers of Akansas, who
in previous years have found 1t diff.
ficult to make both ends meet, are
this year going to be liberal buyers Of
Liberty Bonds" said II. A. Morrison,
cashier Of the Bank Of Commerce,
Earl, Crittenden County, Arkansas.
A ten-million dollar cotton crop in
his county alone explains why this Is
to come about. Mr. Morrison said that
his fellow citizens were showing such
enthusiasm in the new bond issue that
he came to St. Louis to arrange to
supply them with bonds.
Heretofore" said Mr. Morrison, "the
proceeds of the annual harvest was
not sufficient to maintain the farmers
until the next crop could be harvest.
ed, and it was the custom in April to
begin buying food and other necessi.
ties on credit. The result was that in
the fall it usually took about all the
farmer got for his crop to pay his
debts and get through the winter.
This year it is different. The
planters are going to get from 80 to
45 cents a pound for cotton, whereas
before they only got from to 10
cents"
zone fine thing about these bonds
is that the farmer can use them as
legal tender. In case they need money
they will find their war bond invest
ment readily negotiable"
Crittenden County's allotment is
$4,000, but Mr. Morrison is going to
try to dispose of s135,OOO worth there.

Jim DALE
BY Ellis Parker Butler.

Young Jimmy Dale, across our street,
Is just a sawlSy lad
He grew so fast, the doctors sais,
His heart was mighty bad;
They wouldn't let him do much work
Or any hearty p.y,
But, just the same, they drafted Jim,
And Jim has gone away.
Jim was a sort Of great, big kid,
And fooing all the while;
SO, when they ordered him to camp,
He went there with a smile.
Jim Dale is in the army now.
Lank legs, bum heart aEd all.
To fight like other drafted men
That got the country's call.
God, yes! Jims heart may drop him dead
Or he may live to be
Saot all to pieces "over there
What odds to you or me?
BY thunder! it's these odds to you!-
II kids like Jim can go,
with smiles, TO fight our wars for us
We can puJ up the dough.
II we can buy a bond or two
And DON'T, while Jim, poor cuss.
Goes smiling off to death or wounds
Then hell's too good for us.
