 As far as baseball has toddled since the stars of the game were high hats and low whiskers, George Ssler is the greatest of all players. He came up you may recall, as a turn about man, able to work at either end of the battery or at any infield or outfield station. Now Sisler, being ill and perhaps permanent total loss to the Operating department of the Browns, is being mentioned as the next years manager of the club.
 Well. there's Ty Cobb. most un- happy manager with a good team playing all season far behind its real ability and with sullenness in every expression. A star himself, Cobb cant teach others to do as he does, and the men have played only worse ball after each of Tvs tirades. Sisters nature seems to contain less vinegar than Cobbs. but there is the example of one great player who couldn't keep harmony in a one-man band.
 Frank Chance, too, was great player, but he and most of his Cubs were on snarling terms most of the time, and Arthur Fletcher, momen- .-tary manager of the Phillies, another

One the other hand, two of the most utter failures in professional sport have been quite successful man agers. Branch Hickey, manager of the Cardinals, the man who discovered Sisler at Michigan and grabbed him for the Browns, said once that he had been without question the worst catcher in the major league. Jack Kearns. the man who taught the pub lie to think of his heavyweight cham pion in terms of hundreds of thou sands was the most knock ed out lightweight on the Pacific slope when he was prospecting around for his proper place in the business. Pat Moran was a very ordinary catcher. When In pads. and mask he earned his pay but he won one pennant for the Phils, another for the Reds and now is hearing the faint rustic of a third strip of calico as he chases the Giants down the stretch

ger motors and 1898 trucks, says
the Cleveland Times Commercial.
Conservative estimates have placed
the number Of automobiles In use in
America at the beginning of 1923 at
between 1O,OOO.OO0 and 100000
That means machines equal to approx
imately 10 per cent of the population.
Using the old basis Of five persons to
family, we discover that about half
the families in the country can ride
In their own automobiles.
Since January 1 there has been pro-
duced in the United States total of
approximately 100000 new passen-
ger cars and about $4,000 trucks. The
increase has been substantial each
month. For instance, in January pas
Senger cars manufactured totaled 223,-
7O6, so it will be seen by making COM
parsons that the industry has shown
remarkable activity.
Unless there should be change in
the situation, obviously new passen-
ger cars manufactured this year will
reach the record number of about
3,5OO,0O0. with 100000 trucks. Con-
sidering these figures with the total
cars in use at the beginning Of 1928,
one need not be an expert mathema-
tician to discover that within another
ten years this will literally be nation

duction continues.
These statements may indicate sorry
day for "Dobbin" and the "Old Gray
Mare" But they certainly reflect the
general prosperity of the American
people.
