The next bird, who appears a bi1
name. sends in the following:
Dear Sir:
Your paper is carrying the let
tiers about the Ruth case. per-
sonally believe the decision to be I'M
fair as 1t ought not to be the privi-
lege of any man to dictate to the
one who works for him as to what
he cares to do when he has fulfilled
his agreement and It ought to be
the right of any man to seek
further compensation for his efforts
as long as 1t does not interfere with
the performance of his contracted
duties.
However, let's get nearer home.
We have chance to reward one
of the best players who have ever
served on the Senators, one who
has always given the best in him
and one who has demonstrated his
ability to lead the team to spurts
that have meant something. No
one has ever been a stancher
supporter of George Mcbride than
myself and now that injuries receiv-
ed in the line of duty have made
1t imperative that he resign from
the leadership the question of his
successor ought to be. of great in
terest to those of US who frequent
the park. believe that the whole
bunch would pull for ''Zeb" Milan.
He. with Mcbride and Walter
johnson. have been inseparable
friends in their long service of
about fourteen years with the club
and IL left to Mcbride to decide
between the two, 1t is pretty safe
to say that he would have a hard
time recommending one ahead of
the other.
1t seems that a player manager
has gone out Of vogue and If we
should have such a one again it
would be better to have one who Is
not a pitcher. So lets start q cam
paign on the whole for the appoint
ment Of Clyde as the next pilot. Let
us have few articles of the rec
ord of his services with the club
and few words about the spurts
that the club has taken under his
leadership. The writer is one of
the numerous kids that in days
gone by Clyde used to get into the
ball park to shay flies and he has
never forgotten the many hours OF
pleasure that was made possible in
that way. He feels honestly that
Clyde would lead the team to high
er places and In all certainty would
not retain the bunch of root-taking
athletes who have cluttered up the
bench too long, but would at least
get some who would try to earn
their mazuma.
So how about 1t, let's go and see
what can be done. The fans are
more liable to back up a manager
whom they want than one Just ap-
pointed from anywhere.

extent Of $4,000.
A few weeks ago Savage and Lynch
declared they would bring suit against
the colonies for the recovery of the
money lost by calling off the scheduled
trip, but yesterday all concerned met
in the office of Colonel Huston and a
settlement was made. The colonies
gave the promoters half the amount
originally asked for.
With the loss of Ruth and Meusel
during the first five weeks of the 1922
baseball season, as a result of their
suspension by Judge Lands, and the
$4,000 paid the promoters yesterday,
the owners Of the Yankees, 1t is fig.

through the transforming trip. These
figures are based upon Ruth as a
drawing power among baseball fans.

Suitable paintings are necessary to
unite the parts of a farmstead into a
pleasing, homelike whole. Trees are
used for windbreaks, as frames for the
buildings or a background for them,
and to give shade. Shrubs are needed
in abundance to hide partially the
foundation lines of buildings, support
their corners, give reasons for turns
in drives or walks, and to screen un-
slightly objects. Native trees and
shrubs and those known by trial TO
thrive in the locality are the best
to use.
