CARDINAL BOSS
OUT T0CAPTURE
ANOTHER FLAG
Mkechnie Has st. Louis
In Thick of Battle For
First Place.
By HARRY FERGUSON
United Press Staff Correspondent)


Bill McKcchnie cant keep from
winning pennants.
Now that he is at the helm of the
st. Louis Cardinals, the Red BirdS
are coming along with a rush that
seems certain to land them in the
World Series.
McKcchnic started his winning
ways while in Pittsburgh when he
took a team that had been finish
ing in the ruck season after season
and made it about the most power
full aggregation that the Smoky
CITY fans have ever seen. He took
Youngsters ike Pic Traynor, Glenn
Wright and Paul Waner and turned
them into stars. The starring ma
terial was there, for all there were
natural ball players, but it took Nc
Kechnie's s steady guiding hand to
get the best out of his men.
After winning world series,
Bill troubles began.
There have been so many stories
told about the Pittsburgh affair that
II has become one of the most mud
died incidents in baseball The gist
. of the matter seems to be that Nc
l>echnic could not get along with
Fred Clarke, the veteran coach.
Put 1t Up to Dreyfuss
Others say that Bill was stub
born and refused 10 TAX" advice. 1t
isn I important which version IS
correct, but it is fact that Me
Kochnic went to Barney Drcyfuss,
owner of the Pirates, and told him
that he would either have to get rid
of Clarke or start looking for l
new manager. Drcyfuss started
looking for a new manager And
found Donic Bush.
After that McK-hnic secuted
GROUND while and finally sue
eeeded in landing with the St. Louis
Cardinals when Lob O Farrell gave
up the Job of managing and decided
to stick to catching.
It would be interesting to open
MP Drcyfuss Brain and seeing just
what he is thinking now that Bush
is having trouble lifting the Pirates
into first division whilc( Mck kechnl'
is taking the Cardinals along at 4
raet that seems to indicate they
will he the 1928 champions of the
National League.
McKcchnic, of course, found a
good team already assembled when
he went to st. Louis. Bottomley,
Friseh, Douthit and IIafcy are great
bah players anyway YOU take them
and pitching staff that includes
Alexander, Haincs, Rhcm and Sher'
del, is going long way toward
helping.
He Helped Maranville
Perhaps McKcchnic 3 greatest
feat was the way he led Rabbit
Maranvillc to the fountain Of youth,
gave the veteran "A long drink and
turned him loose to play shortstop
as we'll as the Rabbit ever did tt"
Job in his life. Maranvillc is a tenn
peramcntal player, small, fiery
bundle of nerves who can inject the
fighting spirit into anybody. Hand
led right, he is Il constant source
of inspiration 10 his fellow players;
rubbed the wrong way, he turns int )
lcisurclv old man who has seen
his best days.
Mckcchnir is making St Louis
forget Hornsby and that is no easy
assignment There are scores of
people out in the city on the banks
Of the Mississippi who will tell yoI
lIornsby is the greatest manager
player who ever lived. And they
haven T forgotten that Hal Chase
used to be called the 'pccrlcss
leader. -
Bill may not bc able to keep the
Cards going at their present rate

 The reinforcing Sunday of the pa trol which captured Quilal Friday cost one American life and five ma rines were wounded as they pushed their way through the rebels and joined their comrades. In the cap ture of Quilali. five marines were killed and 23 wounded.
 The rebel casualties in the two encounters were not determined be- cause dead and wounded were quickly removed to save them from vultures.
 Heroic Sergeant Killed
 First Sergeant Thomas G. Bruce, Of the marines. lately a lieutenant in the Nicaraguan national guard, was killed in a rebel counter-attack Sunday while a combat patrol was en route from Telpaneca to rein force Quilali. Bruce. whose home was in Philadelphia, displayed great heroism at Ocotal last July when handful of marines and guardsmen administered a crushing defeat to Sandino's forces.
 Lieutenant Merton A. Richal of Wisconsin. was seriously wounded in Sundays encounter. Four other ma rines were also wounded.
 The combat patrol. which included members of the Nicaraguan nation al guard, encountered part of San dino's forces near Sapotilla Ridge, four miles from Quilali. There were 400 men in the insurgent force.
 The rebels were defeated after desperate fighting and fled into the thick forests of the mountainous re- zion near the Honduran border. Marine planes which have been playing an active part in the fight in~. assisted the patrol.
 The patrol pushed on with ann munition and other supplies to their comrades.
 Most of the injuries in Fridays battle were caused by bursting bombs. hand grenades and other ex- plosives. It has been learned that these were prepared by Sandino's men with dynamite seized from an American mine at San Albino.
