If club decides upon a manager. it
may make him a separate official or it
may elect captain and manager in one
person. II there are both captain and
manager bylaws should he adopted by
which the duties of the manager and
the captain are clearly defined. If this
is not done there will be Il clash as sure
as the team gets to the stage of ac-
tual play on the field. The clash will
come over the selection OF players and
the placing of them. The manager will
have his ideas. and the captain will be
sure to have his. Boys very often are
quite stubborn ard unwilling to yield
authority.
When they are wiser and older if
they are still managers and captains
they Will be different. Even though
the authority is theirs. they will be
willing to pass all mistakes along to
some one else. unless they are pos
sessed of more courage than many of
our professional directors of sports. who
are prone to bask in the smile of public
approval with grinning lips. but run
for the cave when they fear that they
have blundered and viii be censured
by the public for mistakes.

Utility of conducting an inquiry
into campaign expenditures is
keeping the treasurers Of the po-
litical parties busy with reports
on their financial condition. The
party chieftains are required to
give frequent and detailed re-
ports as to the identity Of their
contributors and the amounts
given to the party exchequer. BY
this means it is hoped to keep a
check on the so-called financial
which are usually felt
during the presidential elections,
II is said that this system OF
publicity on the campaign con-
tributions is playing havoc with

is obvious that economy will be
