years of labor and an expenditure
of about $1,000,000 on erection OF
the memorial. The work was COM

Terry possibly was the best first
baseman who ever played the
game and Cochrane holds similar
high rating among the catchers.
They took over their managers
jobs while still able to perform in
sprightly fashion. They starred in
their own right while their example
undoubtedly inspired lesser team
mates to reach hitherto (and since
them unthought-of heights.
Now, when they are sorely tried
by an assortment of the ailments
which inevitably take toll of aging
athletes, things do not add up the
same. Reibers, Myatts, Leslies and
such folk are hired men of average
worth, but they simply do not pos
sess the spark that makes Terrys
and Cochranes. So, as has been
apparent all season, the two man
ayers Immediately are beset by
problems even more vexing than
thyrOids or sciatica while attempt
ing to readjust their baseball lives.
If the law of averages operated
properly there could be some COM
pensation for all this. Blood
streams, which formerly had to do
double duty while generating both
base blows and strategy, could be
entirely at the service of deep
thinking. In place of the line drives
which once encouraged their cham
pionship ambitions the Tigers and
the Giants could be inspired by
daily strokes of managerial genius.
This, of course, would indicate a
most sublime future but, unfortu-
nately, neither HOyle nor Hughie
has much influence with the law of
averages.
Both Bill and Mickey are men of
action. They seem to function best,
mentally as wei as physically,
while on their feet in the midst of
heated action. Probably a proper
appreciation of his own muscular
possibilities has inspired each of
these managers as much as it has
inspired his followers.
Undoubtedly this has been true
of Terry during the past two years.
Without attempting to second guess
a guy who has been trying hard
in the midst of severe handicaps
most fans are aware that he is
a far better manager when play
ing than when spending an after
noon in the dug0ut.

vided for judging Cochrane as a

Ousting of Eleanor Holm
From Olympic Team

DROBABLY the controversy over
the ousting of Eleanor Holm
from the American Olympic team
is destined to be long lived; but
it is difficult. to see how the COM
mittee could have done otherwise
in the circumstances. The back
hand swimming champion, who is
Mrs. Jarrett in private life, re-
fused to obey the training rules
and INDUCED in several drinking
parties on the ship that carried
the athletes to Germany. She dis
regarded warnings, and afterward
said the officials knew she liked "a
good time, particularly cham

think she was old enough and ex-
perienced enough to be permitted
to do as she pleased, regardless of
the effect on discipline.

In a queer twist to note that

It's q queer twist to note that
neither Of the finalists-Cain
and his runner-up, Palmer Kise,
Redwood FaIls-had played on
nothing but sand greens. Alexis
course, Respondent in well-wat-
cred green's and fair ways,
should have offered some hand
leap to these two who sailed
through SO nobly. The ball be-
haves strangely different when
one switches greens. The two
boys played superbly and show
ed the stuff that makes golf
ers.
That fate travels in ironical
spheres and complications mount
at every turn of the road is evident
from the fact that Alexis Edith
Kierland, several times winner in
this event, was toppled by Ruth
Tenk, Quincy, ILL.,, who in turn
yielded the women's championship
to Madeline Simonet, Little Falls
Miss. To return to strange begin
ming the fact that the Kierland had
won several times and that she was
playing on her home course told
her not to enter the event this
year-for appearances sake. Then
the complication arose when Mrs.
Becker qualified with an 30
which is neat golf-and again for
appearances sake Miss Kierland
acted. If she did not enter now
they would noise around that the
Kierland was "a-feared." Well, the
story follows that she did not win,
and we hasten to add that it is no
discredit to her. She will be still
recognized as a top golfer. The in
cident merely shows what queer
turns prompt actions in even a
sporting event Miss Kierland
doubtless was relieved when she
lost-for her two actions dispelled
the two weights that hung over
her.
In a tourney of such magnitude
this corner wonders that more
kickbacks have not come. The very
bigness of the thing leaves it wide
open for slip-ups in management.
When the mems championship
flight started off they were routed
behind the women's consolation
flight. About the fourth hole they
began jamming up. This oversight
which could have been remedied on
the first nine holes was overlooked
and the play proceeded somewhat
late. Nobody hurt though, and
seems to be the only kickback that
arose in reports to this corner.
