SCRhPPING MANAGER

Both Leagues Boast of Leaders
Handy With Their Fists.
Former Star Player Laments Fact
That Game Is Becoming Hand
shaking Observation-Disclosures
Battles Not Numerous.

Jess Burkett, former big league star
batsman, recently lamented the fact
that baseball was becoming a hand
shaking institution. There is not
enough fight in the modern game Of
baseball to suit the aggressive Jess.
Perhaps battles on the diamond are
not as numerous as they once were,
but it cannot he said that the present
condition which Burkett mOurns has
been brought about entirely by the
present crop of managers, for in the
big leagues today nearly all of the
pilots are known quantities as far as
scrapping goes.
In the American league there are
two premier performers with their
unitts in Ed Barrows Of the Red Sox
and 'sKid" Gleason Of the Chicago
White Sox. And. Jimmy Burke Of the
Browns and Clarke Griffith of the Sen

style, he would probably reply without
hesitation, Harry Vardon, of course, 4"
but, according to Harold FL. Hilton,
former British amateur champion, this
is incorrect.
Many years before vardon ives tax
ing part in championship golf a GER
tain. amateur, John Ernest Laidley,
was playing better than any other IN
Scotland and at the same time much
more On a par with the best profess
sional talent In either Scotland or
England, says Hilton. Laidley was
holding the grip Of all his clubs by the
aid Of overlapping the fingers OF the
right hand over the forefnger and
thumb of the left hand, and his sue
cess was so great that one would have
naturally assumed that he would have
many imitatOrS.
No doubt in his own circle at Mus
selburgh and at North Berwick there
was a certain coterie Of admirers who
followed him, but as none OF them
made any marked success-it became
somewhat recognized that Laidley's
unique methods were simply the &c
centricity of golf genius, and were not
safe for the ordinary man to initiate.
Next to adopt the overlapping grip
among the famous players was J. FL.
Taylor. He is a slightly younger man
than Vardon, and while 1t would not
be fair to assume that he took to the
method Of grip before Vardon, he ap-
peared in first class golf before the
Jersey man and made success Of 1t
before the latter did. SO he must be
viewed in the light of being the sec
ond apostle of the grip which is so
prevalent in present-day golf.
A little later Vardon came on the
scene, utilizing a similar grip to that
of Laidley and Taylor, and it was
only then that the critics began thor
oughly to realize that there must be
something in this unorthodox method
Of gripping the club. Soon there be-
came quite a craze for overlapping the
fingers. and the comparatively new
form of hold was termed the "Vardon"
grip, by which it Is referred to to this
day. BY that name it will probably
always be known.

A FREAK PLAY

There have been many freak

in the final game of the season
between the Giants and Pirates
was one for the book. 1t hap

Schmidt, the Pittsburgh catcher,
was at bat. He hit a grounder
sharply at Zimmerman. Heinie
helded the ball clearly, but no.
ticed that Schmidt did not run
to first. Instead, the visiting
backstOp was rapping his bat on
the ground to see if it had been
broken by the blow. SO Zim
tossed the ball to Fletcher.
Fletcher relayed it to Friseh and
Frisch passed it to Chase, retir-
ing Schmidt at first base.

TRIMS OF THE LOAN.

Secretary of the Taeasury Glass gave the public little
surprise by announcing that the victory loan would be
fore only $45OO,OOO,OOO and that oversubscriptons
would be rejected 1t generally anticipated that the
total would be much than this But the Secretary
on record saying that the named will be sufficient
and that this will be the last popular loan Aoaed Re-
manning war indebtedness he says be taken care
by issuing Treasury certificates
The interest rates for the last loan are also somewhat
OF surprise being ga per cent with the bonds free
from state and local taxes except estate and Inheritance
taxes and from normal rates Of Federal income taxes
They are convertible into bonds bearing "a per cent
interest and free from all taxes 1t had been suggested
that the could sell this issue at rate un
der per cent
In fixing the interest rate for the victory loan Secretary
Glass had two important factors consider He had to
place the rate high enough to make the bonds marketable
and also so that they would not affect the market value
Of existing liberty bonds This he feels confident he has
DONE and the test Of it will be applied within few days
The patriotism of the American public has been APP
pealed to in order To make this otation successan
appeal which will not go UNDECIDED judging from the ex
peence Of the past In every previous bond issue the
people have responded nob and there is no reason to
doubt that they win do so now.

HE WOULDN'T SMILE

He is one of the finest little men
in Greeneville, and every morning
on our, way to the office we stop and
speak to him as he pulls his little wag-
on along the sidewalk in front of his
home. II it is cold and rainy he
smiles at us from the window and
we go on to our desk frightened and
cheered by the sight of a child.
But two mornings this week we
missed him. He was not pla ying with
the wagon in front of his home and
he was nowhere to be seen. On the
third moring he was standing in his
usual place at the window but there
was no smile. We waved and whis-
tied and even danced few steps on
the sidewalk in an effort to arouse
the smile, but the little face was Sc
rious and there was no response.
That afternoon we learned that the
little mans mother was very i'll of
pneumonia. Then we knew why we
had missed him and why he would not
smile. Mama sick in bed Oh, how
the days must have dragged for our
little man. No tender hands to but
ton up the overcoat and help. him out
with the little wagon. Of course he
couldn't smile when mamma was sick
in bed.
This morning he was pulling the
little wagon in front Of the little
home and the load fell away from US,
too. We stopped and asked him,
Flows mama, today?" He didn't
answer but he looked up and smiled
and we thanked God in our hearts
that mama was better, and that she
had been spared to care for this won
derful little man who had frightened
so many dreary hours for the editor.
