HORNSBY IS BOSS OF
 ST, LOUIS CARDINALS
Ills Men Like Him and Seem Will ing to Play HaIrl for
 Him.

St. Louis, oM., Sept. II Rl-Man- aser Rogers Hornsby is boss of the Cardinals.
 There has never been a doubt of it since the slugging second sacker took over the reins of the team in June, 1925, and that, it Is pointed out. is one of the reasons the red birds today are setting the pace in the National League race and guid- ing the eyes of St. Louis fans toward the possibility of their first pennant in 3S years.
 Hornsbys method of managing the team Is simple. There are no rules, except that the players deliver win ming baseball on the diamond and obey his orders quickly and absolute ly. He has changed the system Of the club house meetings. has advised the pitcher of the day how to pitch 10 each batter, has done away with as many signs IS possible does not believe in post mortems Of yester- days game. and Is open to sugges- tions from coaches and players.
 The Walter Hagen of the base ball world" is one of the terms that has been applied to Hornsby. He has the motto of looking forward today's game and forgetting the de- feat Of yesterday. This does not mean, however that a player can make numerous mistakes and go un- rcprim ended. Such action brings a fury but never denunclations or "razzing."
 The reaction Of the players on this system is the interesting part of the whole procedu . Ask them and they say he is the best fellow they ever worked for"
 For the first time in seven years, Hornsby is not leading the league in batting. but fans arc not worried over that. BoM and a bad back are responsible for the slump. they say.
