Which Is Better Manager
 Pat Moran or Kid Gleason
Ot<eome of Series to Depend Partly on Abilities C the Two Managers Among the Trckiest of Pilots-Moran
 Wonder At the Helm
By JAMES J. CoRBETr

Every worlds series is test of man. agerial ability.
 And the result of many a blue ribbon event in baseball history has hinged upon which team had the edge" in leader ship.
 It's the manager with strategy, with brains, and with courage, who usually leads a team to pennant heights, and then hurls it through to the absolute crest of the baseball world. It has been this way ever since the battle began between the two leagues, and it always will be.
 In 1919 it is the fighting, peppery, all most vitrolic Kid" Gleason against the easy going, soft-spoken Pat Moran. (Which is better?'
 l in other clashes in the by-gone years 1 of baseball the dopsters haven't had much trouble in deciding, in their own minds which of the rival men were the better leaders. But it's far different this year. For in the meeting of Gleason | and Moran there is the meeting of two of the craftiest and most remarka ble
 baseball leaders of all time. | Gleason began playing the game years
 before the present generation vas born.
 He has been affiliated with baseball in
 one way or another for something like
 8 years. Ever one of the brainiest men and one of the keenest students, he
 has studied baseball from every angle ! There is nothing about the inside-nol son does not know.

manager of all time He is born leader of men, too. He proved that this year as he proved it in other years.
 This is Gleasons first year at the helm of any major league club. but he has made good with laundering hurrah Back in 1917 he was lieutenant to Clar- ance Rowland. When the Sox won the pennant and the world series there were many intimate with baseball affairs in Chicago who declared that it was Glea- son-not Row land-who was mainly re- l sponsible for the triumph of Comiskey's S | pets.

BULLDOGS HOLD THE INITIAL SCR|MMAGE Whole Team Shows to Good Advantage-Other Men
 Are Expected

After holding the initial scrimmage of the season, the prospects of win ming team looked considerably brighter for the Bulldogs. The backs tore through the opposing line for several good gains and time and again ripped off several good end runs. The two teams were of about equal size and strength. thus making the scrimmage a lovely one.
 The outstanding features of the scrimmage were the work of the giant tackle, skinny Martin. the spectac- ular end work of Senator Carr, and the terrific line plunging of Young McDaniel, another new man.
 others showed up exceptionally well, but the work of these three were enough to convince Coach Dillon that his Bulldog prospectives were doing well, and gave rise to hopes among the Howard packers that the football team of the coming season would be 1; winning one.
 Although Coach billion had out three teams, he kept the scrimmage full oi fresh candidates who are fighting fol berths on the varsity eleven. Getting { little late start makes it essential fol the Bulldog coach to drive his men a a terrific pace, in order to get into shape for the fast-nearing game with Coach Donahue's Plainsmen. 1his game Is only two weeks orr
 The arrival of the Goliathian tackle Funny" Adams; Halfback "Cholley'' Ratnff, and Linesnan Green from Blountsville is expected at any mo. ment, and after which all will be com plete for Coach billion to pick hi varsity eleven to support the Bulldog colors during the coming season.

able to inspire in a ball game. Weavet fights for a ball game as hard as Me- Graw or Comiskey ever fought in their day and take it from one who knows, that means some battling. And ye, Weaver never wilfully injured another player nor incurred the iii-will of any. Lest readers in distant cities who have never seen Weaver in action except pos sibly in spring practice games, might think l am too enthusiastic, let them be assured that it is the opinion of the best critics in American league cities that the daily performances of Weaver have never been excelled.
 Weaver knocks down the hottest ot hits with so little apparent effort, he makes such startling plays back of the | bag and to hfs right, fields bunts so i fast and so surely, cut across to his left | so effectively, when his shortstop part ner has been covering near second. he | is such a remarkable thrower-in short, I he is so good mechanically that it is l impossible to imagine better third base man. Plus all this, Weaver always plays | ball, morning, noon and night. He stud i ies the game and evolves plays. Some of his plays, apparently accidental, have l been made as the result of previous study of such and such possibility. The ng- l ures here shown speak for themselves | and Weaver's work in the world s series | 1 sumed too much.
 l Weaver bats left handed against right 1 handed pitchers and shifts to the other 1 side against the southpaws. He hits the ball to all parts of the park. At bat ne can work with the runner on first and on the bases he co-operates with the pat l ter remarkably well.
 A RECOMMENDATION
 1 Now Groh has this recommendation | 0t John McGraw because his position at the plate did not please that manager and yet the Reds third baseman has gone out and has hit approximately .2S5 for six sea- sons. Shafer, Herzog and Zimmerman fare numbered among Groh's successors at third for the Giants but none can com pare with Groh in value.
 Groh's position at the plate is peculiar.
 He directly faces the pitcher By an odd
 and rapid shift of position he gets the full strength of his shoulders into short,
 choppy swing. The result is that he IS
 one of the reliable and dangerous hit
 ters of the league. He hits right handed.
 Like Rath, compared with Eddie Col
 lns, Groh has a disadvantage compared
 with Weaver He has the same type of
 mind as Rath. His mental processes are set and stolid. In other words. he Is
 slower in the head than Weaver and this in a measure may be said of each

THE FARMER WILL TURN.

Farmers are beginning to wonder
why they should work ~ to 16 hours
a day to keep up production and keep
down prices for those who seek a six
hour day and penalize the mar who
produces more than a minimum?
Why should one class be worked to
death to make up for organized slack
ers who use the political club to get
shorter and shorter hours and more
inefficiency in the service rendered !?
With the coal strike, the longshore-
man strike, the railroad strike and po-
lice strike, the idea of a farmers
strike is growing. Why should the
farmer alone hustle and slave for long
hours?
The farmer a live without the
city dominated labor conditions, the
constant strife and clubbing of indus
tries, and the demand that he unite
his fortunes with organized labor. He
may not live as we'll but he will live
better than the multitudes of city
jewellers.
The revolutions of the past have
proceeded from the downtrodden peas.
ants and tenants-never from the land
owning class. The revolutionary ten.
dency in our country comes from the
agitator and socialist politician class
who fight to reduce production anc
paralyze industry.
The indications are that the farm.
err will reject advances to unite his
political and industrial fortunes will
theirs and when it comes to the gen
eral strike to force a division of prop
erty as advocated by radical agitators
the farmer will fight socialism. HI
will not toll 10 hours to feed the 81,
hour slackers.

CHRISTMAS MAIL TO
CONTAIN EXPLOSIVES

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 19.-Discov-
cry of a "Red" plot to slay officials
with explosive Christmas mail packag-
es was announced today by Superin-
tendent of Police James Robinson.
Information of the plot, which he
considers reliable, indicates it is ma
tion-wide and directed against feder-
al, state and city authorities who took
part in the national roundup of radi-
calls planning the overthrow of the
government.
Immediate steps were taken to pre-
pare federal investigators, postal au-
thorities and police of large cities for
action against the Email terror" which
is scheduled to begin operation shortly
before and during the Christmas holt
days.
Evidence of the existence of a plot
to send bombs through the mails un-
der ribbons and holly was reported
to Superintendent Robinson by Andrew
Emanuel, head of the "bomb squad"
who said he unearthed it during his
investigation Of radical activities here.

ON THE O TRACK.

"Haste makes waste" is no more
true than it is that greed begets hun
ger. But the Montana trade COM
mission did not recognize these truths
in advance of it's PRONUNCIATION of its
order number four. AS a consequence
the merchants of Montana are furious
ly denouncing that order this week and
contending that it's enforcement will
necessarily add to the prices they must
charge in order to stay in business.
Mark the invoice cost price on every
article offered for sale, orders the
commission. and have it done by De-
cember /. The invoice cost price is
not to include the freight, express or
mail charges; it makes no allowance
for loss, spoilage, waste, shrinkage,
war tax, insurance or other necessary
items of expense. 1t does not per-
nit the inclusion of drayage and de-
livery charges.
Fulfillment of the requirements of
the order will require the employment
of a great army of additional work
ers in Montana. This expense will have
to be met out of the proceeds Of the
business and so will operate to in
crease the selling prices asked. And
the consumer will pay the bill, just
as he has always paid the bill, just
just as he always will pay the bill.
The man who buys his goods on the
Atlantic coast will look like a profit
eer beside the mar who buys from a
sub-wholesale establishment in Bill
lings, and perhaps that is the aid and
purpose of the order, to build up the
'jobbing interests of Montana.
Another angle-the catalogue house
does not come under the order. 1t
can ignore the demand for publication
of cost prices. Comparisons are al
ways odious but they will be more
than that when the comparison is be-
tween the price of a certain article in
Chicago and the same article on a
Red Lodge counter.
If the order promised any benefit to
the public the Picket-Journal would
gladly endorse it and support it, but
no such benefits are apparent at this
time. The writer believes that the
trade commission is on the wrong
track. 1t is seeking out the profiteer
where there is no profiteer and ignor-
ing probably any number of avenues
which would lead direct to fragrant
excuses of profit.
1t is not necessary to doubt or
question the motives aotuating the
commission in it's stand, but certainly
ne sane, clear-thinking person is dis
posed to deny that the board is bark
ing up an empty tree and letting the
real object of attack get away unmo-
lested.-Red Lodge Picket.

who has a place of business gets
caught on all of them, while some peo-

There is no more dangerous
force operating among is to-
day than the class-minded man,
whether he is a laborer, a cap

demands a privilege for his
class at the expense of the peo-
pie. Led by unreasoning prom
isers of Utopia, millions of hon
est Americans are being drawn
into a debauch of industrial rev.
olution. Reason languishes in a
resort to violence, license sup
plants liberty, and justice is for
gotten in a mad chase for the
rainbow's end. The time has
come when every citizen of this
nation should halt in his daily
doings and searching his soul,

answer depends the future of
