GEORGE MATTHEWS ON
BRINGING UP CHILDREN

Civilization can only end in failure
where filial affection and parental
control ceases. In this age When
universal association is produced by
our public school system it IS almost
impossible to Undue children WIN
the proper sense of duty. Parents are
regarded by children as. beings, TO
slave for and see their mothers toll
and slave for them without any de-
sire to aid them. Difference to par
ents has become almost a forgotten
memory. Mothers, many OF tnem
fear their daughters, and fathers
dread their sons. Spare, the rou
and spoil the child" is as true now
as in older times. No one cares TO
rent a house to people who have
children. People no longer keep
their children at home Rather than
have the trouble Of looking AFTER
them, they prefer to let hem molest
their neighbors. With all OF our
schools we are not improving future
generations. For when we bring
children up to see no duty and feel
no obligation we destroy the real es-
sence of manhood and Womanhood.
Yet if we speak to parents about Ola
times they say, "That amt the way
now. Then they will tell you that
rearing children is a problem. we
know that the mode of bringing vi
children sixty years ago bred hap
piness and made pleasant homes. we
know today the same sense OF ease

It is being recalled that Claude
L'Engle, several years ago, while
member of Congress, sought to have
an appropriation made to build twenty
thousand airplanes. He was laughed
at as a visionary, but people now are
inclined to regard him as having been
imbued with prophetic vision. We are
inclined to think that Claude's bill
was just one of his little jokes-he
had the unfortunate gift of humor,
and it was difficult to tell when to
take him seriously-and that he is as
much amazed as the rest of us that
airplane building has become one of
the great governmental activities. But
Claude can say, without fear of sue
cessful contradiction, 81 told you so!''
and we'll just bet he's saying it.

MADE A
GOOD MANAGER
Three-Fiingered Phenom 81
Old Cubs Only one to,
Make Good as Pilot.

The average baseball student of
a decade ago, had he been asked
to pick a manager from the great
Cubs of that day probably would
have picked one of the great in
field stars-Evers. Tinker or
Chance.
1t might have been that he would
have picked Johnny Killing. one of
the greatest of all catchers. or Jim
mie Sheckard, one of the brainiest
of outfielders.
1t is scarcely probable that he
would have gone into the pitching
box for his manager.
And yet. of all that aggregation
of greats the only one who appears
to have any success in a manager
ial berth is a pitcher.
Not long ago Tinker felt that he
wasn't getting what he should out
OF his Columbus club and he call
ed on Mordeci Brown, the former
wonder of the three fingers to take
a hand as temporary manager.
The big Indian miner did so we'll
that he was given the job per-
manently and it now looks as
though Columbus would finish there
or thereabouts.
The managerial experiences of
the old Cubs is an interesting base
ball sidelight.
Chance. who piloted the Cubs TO
their four pennants in the National
League and two world championships.
was handed his championship ball
club on a gold platter by Frank Selee.
who spent four seasons building it
up.
Chance could scarcely have done
anything else but win with the club
he had. But in other fields Chance
was not so fortunate. His failure at
New York was notorious.
Evers tried one year as a manager.
Strange though it may seem, this
fiery, peppery. brainy player failed
as a manager of the Cubs in 1913 and
has never tried plotting. since.
Joe Tinker failed both with the
Cubs and the Reds and his success as
president and manager of the Column
bus club was not brilliant.
Sheckard wasn't a wonderful sue
cess with the Toledo club the year
he managed there.
II Brown makes good with Column
bus this year he will have been the
first of the old regime to succeed in
managerial role.

CHANEY GETS
DUNDEE MATCH
Knockout King Will Fight
Scotch Wop at
Oriole Park.

Baltimore, June 20.-But for the
stepping in of George CLANCY at the
risk of possible financial loss, Bal

between the Knockout King and
Johnny Dundee was concerned. The
American Athletic Association has
just announced a twelve-round de-
boy and the Scotch-Wop of New
York for next Saturday afternoon
a week, June %. at Oriole Park. In
order to show Baltimore's follow
ers of the sport and his hosts of
friends that he does not want his
manager or local promoters to pick
anything soft for him. Clancy was
forced to turn half promoter him

the bout.
Time and again Clancy asked BIet.

George was decidedly nettled every
time a friends would ask him why
he does not meet Dundee. George is
open to meet any lightweight in
the world, but Dundee wanted too
much money. and George then came
forth with the proposition to take a
certain percentage and guarantee
Dundee his end. George is confident
that the bout will .outdraw any ring
contest ever held in this city and.
under the conditions, feels he has
driven anything but a bad bargain.
In this he will find hosts of Balti-
more folks agreeing with him. Every
body has long wanted to see George

There is decided difference of
opinion as to who won last might.
Henry Bletzer claims the bout for

won. Here is "a dispatch from Blet.

George CLANCY beat Johnnie Ray
