ran and Manager Bush of the In
dams clash in wordy battles. The
two veterans will not umpire this
year in the A. A. Freeman and
Holmes also are gone.
On the list of umpires for this
season, announced by President
Mickey of the American Associ-
'ation, the four above arbiters are
missing. Murray is the oldest of
the vets, while Finneran and Free
man had come to be a part of the
A. A. through their long service.
Local fans are not sorry to see
Finneran go. He was the direct
cause of Manager Bush being
suspended last year and put on
probation. The fans never for
gave the big umpire, naturally
taking Ownie's side in the many
run-ins between the two.
Murray and Freeman simply had
been too long in the league. They
were inclined to become careless.
Ducky Holmes got along well last
season. 1t was his first year in
the A. A. He umpired in the
American League the season be-
fore. No official reasons were
given for any of the changes.
The four umpires who remain
from last season are Ollie Chill,
Ted McGraw, T. r. Connolly and
Doll Derr. The four new ones
are George Johnson and Jack
Powell, formerly of the Western
League; Larry Goetz of the Pied
mont League, and w. C. Kuhn,
a Milwaukee seni-pro arbiter. Pow
ell also was in the National League
at one time.

VIVA e are now going to tell you
IWl about the team that will

Mechanically it will be a smooth
working combination.
individually the players will
Ailnow how to pivot and pass and
Bshoot. The youths will have
plenty of endurance-a very ne
cessary factor in tourney play.
But besides these things the
CHAMPION will have two quail
ties-persOnal characteristics, il
you pIease--sOmething more or
less inherent in the players that
may be brought out by good
coaching, but impossible to be
given the youths except by d
kind Providence.
The WINNER will be composed
for the most part of players who
are perfectly in tune. whose brains
telegraph to muscles in perfect,
instant coordination. The slug
gish performers will be eliminated.
In this connection it will be
seen that the CHAMPIONS viii
be clever. They will be smart
players and be able to use their
smartness. They will not be
clumsy or heavy-footed. They
will be agile, naturally so.
And then there IS something else
the VICTORS will possess. 1t is
more tangible-harder to eX-
plain. They will have fighting
hearts. This is a personal factor.
This quality may not be possessed
by the entire squad, but there
must be somebody to lead the
others.
A fighting coach instills this
characteristic to a certain extent,
but he can not do it all. 1t must
be in the player himself.
We do NOT guarantee the name
of the winning team, but we do
guarantee that the above quail
.fications will be found in the 1926

Times Sports Editor

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, March II.
Favored by perfect spring weather
Tuesday, the athletes commanded by
Ownie Bush continued their Vigor-
Gus training pace and got the full
benefit of bracing mountain air and
warm sunshine. 1t was a superb
day in the Indians camp and the
only reason the boys sawed off after
two and one-half hours Of drill was
because they could do no more.
In other words the Tribe FASTENERS
extended themselves to a point Of
exhaustion. From the practice field
the players hustled back to the
Eastman Hotel and dipped into the
thermal water piped down from Hot
Springs mountain.
The Tribe manager expressed
amazement at the clip his hirelings
are maintaining and there are no
views of alarm felt over the week
end games to be played with the
Little Rock Travellers.

COTTON IS SSTEADy

THE BUSINESS OF GETTING
AHEAD.
Snirit of Progressivism.

The secret of American prosperity
is the widespread belief on the part OF
business executives that methods ana
processes are not as good as they can
be made. F1exibility of mind is one
of the principal national assets.
This spirit is so much part or the
national life that we take it for
granted. We become conscious of the
attitude, however, when we compare
it. with that of other nations.
In England there is a stubborn con-
servatism which holds off the obvious
benefits of the introduction of labor
saving machinery and methods or
mass production. When British en-
ployers are asked why new modes are
not adopted, they reply, "Oh, it just
isn't DONE" That expresses point
of view, but does not give any really
valid reason. The attitude is not linn
tied to any one class. Labor unions
are set against mechanical changes on
the theory that machinery will com
pete with human labor, instead of
recognizing that ultimately it will in
crease the productivity, and hence the
potential earning power, of men.
American labor unions recognize this
fact, and it is one of the most whole
some developments of the present
period.
Holding Down Production.
The Old World unions are still in
clined to hold to the traditional view
that the salvation of the workingman
lies in holding down production and
thus spreading the work to be done
over a longer period. American
unions, particularly those affiliated
with the American Federation Of La
bor, contend that labor will gain most
by heightening production. And in
| this viewpoint American workers rest
on sound economies, for production is
purchasing power and the amount of
goods that can be shared depends on
| to assume that there is only limited
amount of work available.
This discussion has a specific appli-
| cation to the career of individual
| workers, whether they be executives
or unskilled laborers. Instead of as
Stunning that whatever is is right, they
| can attract and deserve favorable at
| tention by assuming an attitude OF
| challenge toward the work before
them, ever seeking better ways of do
ing the job at hand. Enlightened cor
porations have set up definite machin-
cry for encouraging even the humblest
workers for making suggestions for
| improving shop and office methods.
| There is a new disposition to analyZe
| every workers functions and to elimi-
nate lost motions. The restrictions on
| immigration are facilitating this move
ment by making it necessary to econ
OmlZe man power.
