MEMS RESPECT
ESSENTIAL
TO PILOT.

NEW YORK, Aug. Managerial
successes have been accounted for at
times by critics, who wrote glibly Of
inspired leadership and personal popu-
larity on the part of the managers in
question. Many wonder how much of
this is really due TO the fact that the
leaders were respect first and liked
afterward, if at all.
Who ever heard Of the New York
Giants holding hands with John Nc
Graw before going out on the ball
field? John, in fact, is trifle too
aggressive and cantankerous to be at
all popular with those Immediately IN
der him.
Respect? That's something else en-
tirely. If you don't respect John Nc
Graw you don't play ball for the New
York Giants. As a matter of fact, he
gets it without conscious effort.
Rogers Hornsby is another case in
point. He never has tried TO make
himself personally popular with his
associates, yet when he was placed in
charge of them, overnight, they began
TO win ball games with such rapidity
that the Cardinals climbed from no
where into fourth place within
month.
HorDsby seems to be the aloof type.
which is thought to make for misun-
derstanding. However, there never was
any question about Hornsby being thor
oughly respected by all. In this, he
has about all that good leader needs.
Stanley Harris of Washington might
be deemed TO furnish evidence on the
rebuttal side. He, undoubtedly, is the
most popular manager in baseball but,
If his assets ceased there the Senators
probably wouldn't be champions today.
They have an abiding and justifiable
respect for their boy leader.
Miller Higgins wasn't overly popu-
lar with the Yankees when he was
winning pennants in 1921, 1922 and
1923 and finishing second in 1920 and
1924. Perhaps the impression exists
that he wasn't altogether respected,
yet it is hardly credible that the Yanks
could have gone so far under these con-
ditions. Higgins undoubtedly had es-
tablished himself as boss Of the out
fit. in spite of early manifestoes.
The late Frank Chance probably
wasn't exactly beloved by the old
Cubs, who were a volatile lot, but
knew their master at all times.
Cobb is understood to be unpopular
with some of his Tigers, still none of
them have got around TO the matter
of looking down on either his ability
or his judgment.
Their respect has resulted in the Tt
gers making a better showing under
Cobb than they did under Jennings,
except in the latter's early pennant
winning days.

MATTY AND RUSIE
CRANES ALL-STARS

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-Sam Crane,
baseball writer for the New York
Evening Journal, who died recently in
New York, left one bit Of work I'M
finished. 1t was to have been his
greatest and best contribution to base
ball.
I'm going to pick an aIl-American
all-time team this fall" Sam said.
Il guess l won't be writing baseball
much longer and it'll make a good
story at the end of 80 years Of ser
vice. And it ought to fit in great
with the jubilee celebration, too"
Unfortunately Sam Crane never an
nounced his all-American selection.
The Great Umpire called him "Out"
when the story was still in the max
ing.
Who he might have selected, what
names he would have chosen to per-
petuate in his list of baseball immOr-
tails will never be known. But one
thing is certain. AS his all-time, all
baseball manager, Sam would have
considered only one man, John J.
McGraw.
And in his selection Of alI-time
pitchers two. names would have been
certain TO appear. One is Amos
Rusie, the man Sam characterized as
"the greatest speed ball pitcher Of
them ALL" And another is Christy
Mathewson. These two were certain
selections. For they represented TO
Sam Crane all that was perfection in
pitching greatness.
And they reciprocated that feeling.
For If these two, or John J. McGraw,
suddenly would be called upon 10
name the greatest all-American, all
time baseball writer they would think
IF only one man. That man would be

RUN-IN WITH COSLIN is
MAKING OF BUCK HARRIS

The dividing line between success or
failure comes when a man is called
upon to meet his first crisis.
That's just as true in the world
of sports as it is in the work-a-day
existence that most of us consider so
humdrum and uninteresting.
A single sentence, spoken during
the heat Of the Boston police strike,
moved Calvin Coolidge from the pet
tyness of upstate politics into the lime
light of national fame, and led even
tually to the White House.
Five words spoken quietly but with
finality, established forever his au-
thority and raised Stanley Harris into
the rank of great baseball managers.
Those words were, Get to the club
house, Goslin :"
And thereby hangs a tale.
1t was early August of last sea-
son and the Senators were in the
heat of a pennant drive, when one
mans absence from the game might
be the difference between defeat and
victory.
Up to that moment Stanley Har-
ris was merely the boy manager-a
figure to be moved TO and fro by
the hidden hand of Clark Griffith.
His players liked him, but they re-
fused to recognize in him anything
more than a boy who handled the
batting order and took This orders
from a higher up even as they took
their orders from him.
One day a violent quarrel broke
out on the bench. Goslin and Mat
thews had pulled a living statue act
in the outfield and let an easy fly
drop safe for a two-base hit. The
Yankees were the Senators oppo-
nents.
Goslin and Matthews roared and

Or. Egbert prefaced the special ser

to the bench, after the manner OF
players who are fighting hard. Each
accused the other of being respon-
sible for the bad play and the two
men were near blows when Harris
interviewed.
"That will be enough" he said
sharply. "That hit is gone. Alibis

and play the game now, and keep
quiet"
1t was the first time Harris had
ever had a sharp word for his men.
Up to that time he had been the en-
couraging, back-slapping type, His
"Attaboy" has been his sharpest
comment, and now his command came

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-Conform'
ing with the new schedule the Golf
en' Special" service starting three
hours before the regular Sunday morn
ing service, was conducted here for
the first time by the Rev. DR.. George
Drew Egbert at the First Congrega'
tionaI Church of Flushing. Eight
men and six women attended.
For the additional convenience Of
his Enks-bound congregation, DR.. ES-
bert delivered only a brief sermon,
thereby shortening the regular one
hour service a half an hour. The
service began at s 80 a. m. and ended
at 9 q. m.
Although DR.. Egbert said before the
service that he feared his flock was
too conservative TO take kindly al
first TO the new form of worship, he
afterward expressed surprise that SO
many had attepded.
CONGREGATIONS ARRIVES.
Some Of the golfers arrived 10 min
utes before church time. Before the
last chime of the first call at s 20
a. m. had been struck, an automobile
swung in from a side street and pulled
up at the curb in front Of the frame
church, which stands in a spacious
yard Mt Lincoln and Bovine avenues.
From it stepped Chester A. Willets OF
As Geranium street, clad IN linen
knickers and sport coat.
While he chatted with DR.. Esbert
on the church steps two more auto
mobiles drove up. From these emerged
William Webb and Samuel Jones.
They also were clad in golf toys. AS
they were congratulsting DR.. Egbert
on his plan TO make it possible for

on the same morning, other golfers ap,
peared. Only three persons arrived
after the service began.

AWAITS DEBT
FARLEY
Daeschner Cables France
Funding Commission Has
Set Time for Discussions
By H. X. REYNOLDS.

by n. N. hE 1NVLOo'
Emile Daeschher, the French am
.bassador, today cabled to Paris the
information that the American
Debt Funding Commission is ready
to discuss the French debt to the
United States at any time except
between August and August IS.
That ten-day period has been re-
served for negotiations on the Bel
GUM debt.
When he called at the Treasury
last week tor open preliminary ne
gotiations looking to debt funding,
the French ambassador had in
duired as to what time would be
convenient for the opening Of the
forthcoming debt conference. In &C
cordance with this request, the
Treasury advised him that the
American Debt Commission would
be pleased to start the negotiations
at once or at any time prior to
August 5 or after August 16.
There is no information here as
to when the French debt commits
sion will start for Washington to
resume the negotiations broken off
three years ago, but it Is expected
that Finance Minister Caillaux will
want all the time that IL possible
to prepare his plan for funding the
American debt and probably will
wait until the latter part of August
before sending the French repre-
sentatives here.
In making public its summer
program, the Debt Commission
failed to take any account Of the
debt negotiations which are tenta-
lively scheduled to. be resumed here
between the United States and
Italy early in August. This was
understood to have /. been due to
the fact that it was hardly expected
that a French debt conference
would get under way here so that
the American commission would be
in a position to again take up the
italian debt before the negotiations
with Belgium opened.
