arr outfioldcrs. wonderful haitcrA and

playing managers in the big leagues
today. their cases arc quite similar
The one EiarinK difference Is In the
standing of their respective clubs.
when Speaker was made manager 10
mid season. tho club was In third
place. and was recognized as a PEN
nan; chaser. while Cravath's club.

Baseball fans are kecniy interested
in these two managers Both are
very popular with tho fans. Hard

enemy.
There have been outflcid managers
before IN the big leagues. and when
calling attention to this point one
FIRST thinks OF Fred Clarke. OF the
worlds champion IitiHhurg Pirates
81 ten SEASON ago. There have been
few better managers In the big
leagues. Fielder Jones was another
q the famous outficld managers
Jones always said ho preferred 20

for "A manager 20 watch the workings

Iiall players naturally look up 20
their manager. II he 81 man who
can think better than they. II he can
execute his plans letter than they. he
gains their rnspect. In the eases Of
the past and present outfiold man

SOLDIER LEARNS MOTHER DIED
Returns Home to Surprise Mother
Did Not Know Of Death,

Muscatine, Feb, 27.--When Private
John Reynolds, Company G. Thirty
fourth infantry, left Muscatine May
10, his mother, Mrs. Alvina Reynolds,
kissed him goodbye at tho station.
His father was dead Weekly letters
were interchanged while he was at
Camp Dodge during June and July,
and then John was sent overseas.
II was his good fortune, so he save,
to be assiSned to regular army out
IL, so after a short training in France,
his regiment went into action.
Now letters, thoughts of the folks
back home and especially of mother,
are responsible for the morale of an
army John was unfortunate. He
was shifted frequently, first in train
ing. then in action, when at a rest
camp and finally during the St Mihiel
drive he received a touch OF gas.
With his lungs weakened a bit he
contracted influenza. and was sent to
q hospital. Recovering later. he was
assigned TO a casual company and sent
to the United States. arriving at
Foboken Feb. Il.
During all these months he had not
received a letter from home. The
mail came to his company. usually
every day. hut visits to the orderly
tent were always fruitless. The other
fellows received letters from mothers,
buddies and sweethearts, but John,
altho sometimes sharing a package Of
some more fort 7ate comrade. did not
receive a letter
In the hcspita' i was not so bad. be-
L.
mail. and after being transferred to a
casual company, where few received
mail, his obsession became to surprise
mother by his arrival home within a
few weeks. rather than 10 receive the
glookedfor letter.
From HobOken he went to Camp
Dodge and after getting his final pa
pcrs yesterday. arrived in Muscatine
last night.
He was NOT a half block from the
station when he met his older brother
Frank Reynolds, with whom his
mother lived at sol Brook street.
Don't tell mother-1'm going 10
surprise her" were his first words
after a brief greeting.
Mother? John, mother died
month ago-we sent YOU word to the
only address we knew his brother
answered.
Private John Reynolds hurried 70
his old home at 3O1 Brook street with
out another word. He was home. yes,
but the hope and spirit that had made
him a GOOD soldier during training in
battle. and later as casual, were
gone.
This morning he is again good
soldier. Il guess it's better. after all
that l knew nothing Of it." he said
