JOE WARD.


Most everyone was greatly SIR
prised, when, at the beginning OF
the eighth inning. President Nor
ison of the local club, made the an
nouncemen- to the grandstand that
the management of the Martinsburg
Club had been changed, and that
now, Reggie Rawlings would BIT in
charge. No very definite reason
was given, other than some minor
pretext about the way he handled
players on the field, or inenciencv
that was discovered rather recently.
The possible reason, and tn, one
generally accepted is that his ex-
penses were too great, and thai he
would be too expensive to carry as
bench" manager, and took tbs
means Of removing him.
Joe Ward worked hard to organ
ize the local club, put in a lot of
work during the winter months,
and while in training at Carnegie
Tech Field, Pittsburgh, Pa, and
that he should be released only
five days after the season started
hehS doesn't seem fair, unless there
is some other very good reason be.
hind the move, and even then much
better methods could have been
used to notify him of the fact and
i was not necessary to make the
announcement in such public man
nor. as if he were another GandfL
or any of that bunch. If he was
running the team too expensiyeIy
and il he himself were too exDen.
sive, an understanding should have
been reached at a Board OF Direo-
tors meeting and Joe Ward prop.
erly notified.
Reggie Rawlings, whose position
was confirmed yesterday at a meet.
ing OF the directors, is an excep.
tionally good ball player and thor.
ouehly understands the game. He
is liked by all tire players and all
his acquaintances There is moth
ing the matter with Reggie as a
manager, so far as we can see. but
we maintain that Joe Ward should
have been given a reasonable length
of time to prove what he could do
and the opportunity to correct. any
errors that may have been made.
