Iris Speaker, who viii direct the
work of the Cleveland club again this
year, has shown marked ability TO
lead men and match wits with the
older and more experienced leaders
of American league teams. In his brief
regime at the head of the Indians In
| 1919 he had great success with the
team, Cleveland giving Chicago a hard
run for the championship honors. Last
year Speaker had his team in the thick
of the pennant race from the opening
day of the season.
Speaker succeeded to the manage
ment of the Cleveland club on July
10, 1919. He had been Lee Fohl's
lieutenant in directing the play of the
Indians and when Foil did not have
the success which Owner James g.
Dunn felt he should have had change
was decided upon. Speaker had previ-
ously declined TO take the position but
when he was assured that his refusal
to take the place would not result in
the retention of Foil iris accepted.
He has since been in charge of the
team.
Is Native Of Texas.
Speaker was born in 1888 at Hub

home i'm that little town. After play

fessional ball with the Cleburne team
of the North Texas league. In 1907 he
was with Houston of the Texas league
and batted .314. He was purchased by
the Boston American league club In
1907, turned back in the spring to the
Little Rock club of the Southern assoc
citation and repurchased in late sum-
mer by the Red Sox.
Star With Red Sox.
Speaker played his first baseball in
the major league with the Red Sox in
1908 and was a star of the team for
the next seven seasons, including 1919.
On April Il, 1916, Joseph J. Lannln,
then owner of the Red Sex, sold Speak
er to Cleveland for $4,000 and two
players-Pitcher Sam Jones and H.
fielder Fred Thomas. Cleveland base
ball was at low ebb when Speaker
joined the team and his presence so
rejuyenated the interest in that city
that the game has been big success
ever since. In his first year with the
Indians Speaker hung up a batting
mark of 1856, leading the. entire Amer
lean league in batting.
In only one year since he became a
regular with the Red Sox in 1909 has
Speaker failed to bat 800 or better,
The break came in 1919, when he bat

CALIFORNIA BANKS MAY SOLVE WARRANT TANGLE

 This is the latest suggestion of State Treasurer Earhart with refer. ence to the states financial situation, and may solve the troublesome ques- tion of Where is the money coming from"-a question which is on the lips of every state executive and of every state employe.
 Arizona banks never did take our registered warrants" said Earhart to- day. They took them up at face value and then peddled them to California banks. The five per cent interest which the state allows looks pretty good to them over there, and it is en- tirely possible that the state may DC able to make arrangements direct.
