Fred Mitchell of the Cubs is entitled to most of the credit for the good work of the Chicago club and has proved himself one of the best mana gers in either league. Losing Alex ander was enough to discourage most men, but ''Mitch' went right along with his work, making the most of what he had to do with and landing on top. It is doubtful if he gets all the credit he is entitled to.

Hugo BcNdck, manager of the Pitts burg Pirates, is not going back to the University of Oregon to coach the football team this fall. He was one of the men considered to look after the Washington and Jefferson eleven.
 Barney Oldfcld, the great auto race driver, is at least frank. When he recently announced his retirement from the racing game, and severed
 connections with his manager of lmany years. Bill Pickins, he stated:
 'I am ready to retire, but if there

 received a dollar from, if they will
 send it to Los Angeles we will gladly split it." Barney might have added that it was optional with the sender whether they included war tax or not It looks as though someone in the

The question of how bets on the pennant winners in the major leagues are affected by the curtailment of ine season have arisen. Those who hap pen to stand to win contend that they should go as they lay, while those who would lose under such conditions, raise the point that the bets were made on the basis of 154 games to be played and that there should be no action. This is a strong point, and unless there has been an understanding since the conditions were changed, the claim that all bets should be declared off has merit.
