proved catching staff, and that ought to
help a lot. Kruger has gone and
Hungling. from Memphis. har taken his
place. The Dodgers also have De Berry,
from New Orleans. These, with Miller
and Taylor, who is a greatly improved
ball player, ought to bolster UP that
department about so per cent.
Infield Might BE Stronger.
The Brooklyn infield. which has been
slipshod, could be a lot stronger.
Schmandt is doing well at first and
Olson is moving along at a fair gait at
second, where he ought to do better
than he did at short. Crane is fair
fielding shortstop and no wonder with
the wand.
Johnston is likely to be about as good
as he was last season at third base. He
has been making slow progress Andy
High, from Memphis, who looks mighty
good. Is ready to jump right into the Job
If Jimmy falters.
Hal Janvrin is playing utility roles at
second. and in the outfeld Is another
infield utility hand. The second line OF
defense does not impress US over much.

New Orleans, Is little raw as yet but
looks as II he ought to make whale OF
a ball player. Myers looks lot better
than he did last spring. after reporting

still hitting.
Tommy Griffith holds his job In right
against fair opposition. Neis continues
to show Robbie that he ought to get a
regular job. while Hood helps from time
to time in pinch hitting and odd bits OF
outfielding.
1t is not champion club, but it is a
trouble making club, and we fear the
Giants will know 1t again.

FINDS MEN Who THINK

eating the idea that men are not in

tiens. B. R. Wolf. president of B. r;
Wolf Company. New York. carried
further the discussion OF the human
factor in industry at the sessions of
the Southern Industrial Conference In
session at the southern Y. NJ. c. A.
assembly at Blue Ridge today.
The conference opened last night
with addresses by Charles r. Town
son of New York, and B. c. Greer of
Greenville. s. C.. and IS attended by
400 delegates from southern indus
tries. Officials, managers. superin-
tendents. -foremen, overeeers and
workers from the industrial fields OF
| ten southern states are present.
F, Speaking from the standpoint of the
| manager and employees. Mr.. Wolf de-
plored the past tendency of religion
to teach one thing and of business TO
| teach something totally different.
| Religion says it is more blessed TO
| give than to- receive" the speaker
| pointed out. while business has glor-
ifed the getting and tests prove that
| progress cannot be predicated on any
such basis. The trouble. as see
| it, has been largely with the manage
ment in its failure to bring out the
latent thinking power of the work
men.
"It is a mistake to want contented
workmen, because they are not men,
tally alert. We do need construc-
ltively discontented workers whose
minds will not become sluggish. The
thinking workman is the one whose
creative impulse is functioning; one
| who sees something in the achieve
| ment of production rather than the
| reward of achievement.
THE creative impulse is a funda-
mental instinct. and the spirit which
expresses itself in creative power Is
the most highly important factor in
relationships"
