asrlSI Task In Major League
Deserves Lot Of Credit

Miller Higgins, the mite Manager"
Of the New York Yankees, has re-

ly passed out to a pennant winning
pilot.
Higgins, unpopular In New York,
was in a peculiar predlcament. II he
didn't win the pennant, II was his Job.
when he won It, he got no credit.
"Any manager ought to have won
the championship with team like
that,r represents the sentiment Of

With team chock-full of prima
donnas, higgins has had the worst
managerial task In the major leagues,
The players dislike him and the fans
ignore him.

gins was taken sick and was away
from the club for two weeks. Roger
Peckinpaugh took charge Of the club
and It won ten straight games.
"Keep Peck in. Higgins can't make
them play ball." the fans clamored.
Regardless of adverse sentiment,
Higgins deserves a lot Of credit for
the victory OF the Yanks. II Is his

Of owners, who opened wide the purse

from nothing. He has had them con-

Chinese meats imported into this

The hams are cured In n manner

by American tastes. The sausage Is

These products are consumed ex-

BASEBALL SPORT OF FIGURES
Man In Oshkosh, Who Has Never Seen
Player, Knows All About Him by
Studying Averages,

one reason for basebalrs wide ap-
neal is that the game is easily reduced
10 figures. A man In Oshkosh, who
has never seen the Giants or Yankees
play, may know as much about them,
and more, too, perhaps, simply by
studying the averages of the players.
One doesn't have to see man play to
know that he is a great player. They
can know that by looking over their
batting and fielding averages. No 9TH
or sport offers such opportunity for
mathematical revalIy.
