Funeral of
Mrs. Williams

The funers, OF Mrs. Viola Williams.
wife Of E. H. Williams of Cyanide ave-
nue. Four Mile, who died Sunday
morning from cancer. took place from
the First Presbyterian church here al
2 O'Clock this afternoon, and was con-
Quoted by Rev. Charles j. Arme1-
trout. pastor of the congregation. The
service was largely attended by the
friends and neighbors OF the deceased.
Mrs. Williams had been a suffere-
from cancer for several months. and
the announcement of her death Sun
day morning was not greatly surpris-
ing to those who knew of her condi-
ton. Since September of last year
the ravages of the disease had been
constant and incurable. assuring an
exhaustion of her vitality sooner or
later.
Mrs. Williams was a woman OF ul-
usual ability and her talents were
used in advancing the interests OF
those about her and in promoting the
weil-being of the community at large.
She was especially interested in the
work and berevolences Of the Daugh-
ters of Rebekah. OF which she was a
past president of the state assem-
bly,. For three terms she was men,
Der OF the board of trustees OF the Col
orado State Odd Fellows Home here.
and TO her energy and consecration in
that position is due In no small meas
ure the splendid work the home is do
ing for INDECENT members of the order
and their dependent children.
The maiden name OF the deceased
was Miss Viola Kitchen. and she was
married to Mr.. Williams at Coal Creek
26 years ago. At the time Of her
wedding she was popular teacher in
the public schools at Coal Creek. For
many years the family has resided in
the Canon City district. and its mem
bers highly esteemed by all with
whom they were brought in contact.
Mrs. Williams is survived by her
husband. daughter. Miss Vera. and n
son. Perry Williams, the latter SOL
der IN rhe United States army in
France She had host OF friends
among tse Reb=kah and odd Fellow
lodges OF the state. The floral tri-
butes testified 10 the high esteem in
which the deceased was aAid by those
who knew her best. Burial was at

National League Managers
 HaUe Liking For Veterans
Pilots Won't Use Youngster Unless Forced to Do So he Giants Age Average Is About 30 Years-Slowed
 Up in August-No Team of Vets Has Won Twice
Fly JAMES J. CoRBETr.

The weakness of most major league managers is the tendency to play veter- ans. No matter how good a youngster looks, the pilots of clubs that are in the thickest of pennant battling in- variably put in the oldtimers. They seem fearful of trying out the kid phenoms.
 Unhappy New York fans whose dreams of 1919 National league pen- nant have not come true. asserted that if John McGraw had put young blood into the lineup things might have been different
 Experience has shown that veteran ball clubs cannot stand the pace" they claim. "McGraw tried to win with per- haps the oldest club that ever cherish ed flag ambitions. His regular in- field was beyond 33 and his outfield near to So The team. as whole was one that averaged about 30 years-and that's club that's too old to stand the gaff."
 The infield mbination of Chase, Doyle, Fletcher and Zimmerman played splendidly until early August. And then the pace which it was forced to travel because of the gait of the Reds, began to tell. The veterans couldn't maintain it-and the team slipped
 A few weeks ago McGraw put a youngster named Frisch in the lineup, taking Doyle's place at second The collegian flashed brilliant work at once. He has demonstrated already that he is of major league calibre. The playing of the whilrwind youngster has had a refreshing effect on the in- field. It has speeded up Chase. Fletcher and Zimmerman, and the old fellows are squirting again. Further more the daring baserunning of Frisch his pep" and his enthusiasm has caused the whole team to take new spirit-and to try to follow his lead
 YOUNGSTERS NEEDED
 If McGraw had only put a few kids in the lineup earlier in the year a different story probably could be told concerning the 1919 flag fight" is the wall of some New Workers.
 But McGraw isn't alone in his pre-
 
 a universal fault in the National. The managers who nurse pennant hopes rarely play youngsters unless it is an absolute necessity. They hang onto the oldtimers until they are about ready for the old mems home. And all the while the kids, who undoubtedly could play a game 75 per cent stronger, are on the bench-or are sent back to the minors for more seasoning"
 One of the reasons why c1lIhS fail to repeat in pennant fights is because managers are loathe to break up the winning combination" And there is where they make huge blunder.
 The 1914 Braves packed many vete- rans whose places could have been filled more acceptably in 1915 by youngsters. But George Stallings didn't want to scatter up an aggrega- tion that had won in 1914. He thought the oldtimers were still fast enough to travel the pennant heights in 1915. But they weren't.
 Pat Moran, who favors old players, won flag for the Phillies in 1915 with many fading stars. on his team.
