DUBLIN, Jan. LIVERY member
OF the Irish race in America this
year doubtless will be happier for
the knowledge that perhaps for the
first time in our history there Is
peace throughout Ireland.
The Irish Free State. whose birth
day we have ju st celebrated, has
emerged successfully from a period
OF stress in which 1t could never
have survived If its foundations had
not been well and truly laid on the
broadcast principles of democracy;
and we are grateful for the SYM
Dathy and support which we have
always received from the Irish In
America and for the confidence they
have shown in us in times of diff
Guilty and trial.
The age-long differences between
North and South have not, OF
course, been made to vanish like
magic at the politicians bidding.
but who can say that the spirit in
which the recent agreement has
been entered into is not a new
one and one or good omen for the
future OF Ireland as q whole?
We in the South have failed to
understand our Northern fellow
countrymen in the past and they
have failed to understand us. but
there is one lesson which both OF
us have learned in the stress OF the
last few years. That Is that 1t is
more profitable to concentrate our
attention on the community OF in
terest between North and South
than to waste energies which should
be devoted to the common veal in
mutual recriminatioFi

THAT very first pull will tell you that no
other tobacco is like Prince Albert for
hOme-rolled cigarettes. How cool and
refreshing it is, like shower-bath after
fast exercise. How sweet and mild it is,

rienccd smokers demand.
Never has home-ro1led cigarette

same in Football

In like manner, college football
coaches invariably are selected from
a list of former star players. This
raises the question as to whether
a college football career is absolutely
necessary for success as coach.
Tradition to this effect is far stronger
than the belief that big league man
ayers should be named from former
stars.
To certain extent the question
has been definitely answered this
season, it being affirmed that a
collegiate career as a grid star is
not necessary to go over as a COACH.
The most notable example is
Babe Hollingberry of the Wash
ington State eleven. He never went
to college, but played in his high
school days and later became coach
of the strong Olympic club eleven
in San Francisco.

nack to fine minors


AS, n matter of fact the most logical
thing in the world is to go to the
minors for big league managerial
material.
Comiskey, when he signed Row
land, temporarily brushed aside tra4
dition. However, a majority of the
owners were more conservative and
didn't fall TO the scheme.
Garry Hermann was the next
owner to take a chance on a minor
league celebrity. When Pat Moran
died, he named Jack Hendricks as
his successor Hendricks for years
had been the big noise at Indian
apolis.
One need only point to the play of
the Cincinnati club during last season
as proof of Hendricks ability. He
finished a good second to the pen
nant winning Cardinals.
1t took the rival Chicago club, the
Cubs, to further boost the tgo-to-the-
minors -for-your manager" movement.
Joe Mccarthy, who had done big.
things for Louisville in the American
Association, was secured and his
showing was one of the sensations
of the season in the National legaue.
Barney Dreyfuss, in selecting
Owen Bush, has followed along the
same lines, although Bush has had
a years experience as major league
pilot.

Selecting Managers

The major leagues recruit their ball
players from the minors; why not the
managers?
1t is more or less tradition in the
big show that a major league man
ager should be an individual who
has starred as player in that
company.
Take the outstanding managers
McGraw, Mack, Robinson, Collins
Speaker, Bancroft, Harris, Cobb. All
of them have been or, are stars in
the majors. Some have been more
successful than others. due to having
a temperament better adapted to the
handling of men.
Charles Comiskey, owner of the
Chicago White Sox, was one of the
first to believe that it was possible
to pluck a manager from lowly
minor league and have him deliver
the goods.
When Comiskey signed Clarence
Rowland TO handle the White Sox,
the experts scoffed at the idea. Row
land won a pennant and a world
championship for Comiskey in 1917.
