Robinson Back From Eastern Market:

Robinson Back From Eastern Markets
Gale Robinson, manager of the Nc
Coy Furniture company returned from
Chicago and other eastern furniture
centers Friday. Mr.. Robinson says
that furniture prices are slightly
lower and that corresponding reduct-
ions are being made at the big store
here. At Chicago he says there are
immense numbers of unemployed but
that the authorities as yet do not an
ticipate any serious trouble. Chi
cago is a great clearing house for
the soldiers and sailors and the large
number of men in uniform upon Chi
cago strets gives the city a war-like
appearance.

From the Leader:
Mrs. Tot Murphy is recovering
from an operation for appendicitis,
performed at the Brookings hospital
last wick.
Bartel Thompson. who resides east
of town, underwent an operation last
week at the Dell Rapids hospital. The
operation was for the removal of a
cancer
Word has been received from Camp
Funston, Kans.. that Alfred Christen-
sen is in the base hospital at Fort
Riley with the scarlet fever. We all
hope for his quick recovery.
A card from Mayor Koenig, from
Pasadena, Calf, says: "Arried here
all O. X. and found all we'll as ever.
We thought we would go out here for
a change and rest. But the porter
got the change and the hotel got the
rest. 80 ! think we will be back the
latter part of the month.

The Thinu and Other Things.

/ returned to Mr.. Jackets house
late in the afternoon Of New Years
day. The schoolmaster was lying on a
big lounge in a corner of their front
room with the children about him. The
dusk was falling.

Claimed as / entered. "We're telling
stories o. the old year an you're just

! wondered a little why he should
say that, and while I was wondering
he felled me with a singing blow on
my nose.
"Ah, my lad-there's the best thing
i have seen We do-get up an come
back with no mad in ye." he said as he
gave me his hand.
One day the schoolmaster called the
older boys to the front seats In his
room and l among them.

Cincinnati's Reds did something this
Nyear that never had been done before
a major league team-that is, score
en- runs in the thirteenth inning. The
|&Pat Morans turned this trick against
l3Al Mamaux.
Just once before, in an extra in

tug the tie, reached double figures in
tallies in the windup chapter, and that

Kansas Cry was trying to support
one.
on July II of that year the Cow
boys and Detroit were on even terms
1t the end of the tenth. In the elev-
enth the Missourians broke up the
game in precisely the same name as
the Reds did when they upset the
Euperbas-by turning the lever Of the

May Is was when Greasy" Neale, COW

title Moran has won since breaking into
the managerial game with the Phlllies
four years ago, and more Importance
is attached to his success because of
the fact that he has piloted clubs that
have never before won a pennant.
Moran made his debut as manager
with the Phillies In 1915, and that year
won the flag, the first the Philadelphia
club had won In 33 years. This year
he s%upplanted Christy Mathewson as
manager of the Reds and won another
championship.
Manager Moran is liked by all he
meets, particularly his ball players.
While at the helm of the Philadelphia
club he was loved and respected by
all his men, who gave him every n
of energy they possessed while In ac-
ton and played smart baseball all the
time--Why7 Moran knows how to
|, handle men. He never humiliates any
of them before their comrades or OPP
posing players, and corrects their mis-
takes In a way that they profit by
them. He does not employ the mailed
fst system. Hence his success.
''There is only one way to win" said
Manager Moran, "and that is by pay
ing attention to business at all times.
We play to win each game, les the
next one take care of itself. 1t has
always been my policy to keep my
players minds off the worlds series. /
do not allow them to worry about our
percentage, and insist upon their think
ing of only winning the game In which
they play. When you win games you
win with the pennant.
"There must be no loafing. We
worked hard, and we would not be
where we are today If we had not.
Every man hustled to the limit of his
ability. When they all do that a team
is bound to meet with some sort OF
success.
II do not want all the credit for our
success. 1 see by the papers they are
calling me miracle man and all sorts
Of things. The only extent to which !
entered into the victory was in the ap-
pIIcatlon of my longer experience In
! professional baseball. Every n Of
the players gave his best effort. j
merely directed those efforts, in the
Tight Of my experience, SO that they
would have the greatest possible eff
feet.
"We all had something to do. Their
part was to play ball the best they
knew how. Mine was to dope out the
situations as they came UP and figure
how to meet them.
$50, after all, there was nothing tc
1t but work, work.1work by the players
and work by myself.
"OnAs not obliged to have a set OF
rules or ask men to be angels to win.
The first thing to do is to gain the re-
spect and confidence of your players.
That is what ! did After / did that
insisted on cooperation and the results
show for themselves"
Manager Moran Is modest, almost to
extremes, but his players are willing
to give him all the credit that is due
him. That they respect his judgment
and ability is needless to say. They
show 1t on the field and have done so
all the season. OF the field they
praise him to the skies and say he Is
q wonderful fellow. With this spirit
prevailing n can easily see why the
Reds hustle every minute they are on
the field.

Only A Few Old Men

St. Paul. Mimi, Feb. 3.-The de-
termined effort Of Mike Kelly, manag-
er Of the st. Paul club Of the Ameri-
association, to land a half dozen
major league players indicates that
not more than six of h 1918 Saints
will be in the lineup ext season.
When Kelly bought Dan Griner
from Brooklyn he admitted that deal
vas only a starter and that he wanted
two outfielders and three inf1elders.
1t is understood Kelly expects to re-
tain Berghammer, Corriden. Hoffman.
McMenemy, Duncan and Niehaus. 1t
is possible neither Duncan nor Me
haus will be in the fold, which means
that Kelly must have five pitchers. one
catcher. and the fielders. The death
OF Harry Glenn in the military service
robbed the catching staff of its main
stay.
Berghammer at second base seems
to be the only certainty at present SO
far as the lineup oes Artie Hoffman
is still in the navy, but expects early
discharge.
