Even George Stallings, one of the

on that record.
There you have the question for
the future. Will Cochrane wear

the essential dumbness of his fell

upon that success which came to
them so quickly in their manageri-

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
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 well as physically,
while on their feet in the midst of
heated action. Probably 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 dugout. When he is at
first base he handles pitchers
amazingly well, shifts the infield
with rare discernment, thinks fast
er, abides by his own judgment
and gets excellent results. He is
not always SO capable when pulling
the wires from the bench.
Less opportunity has been pro-
vided for judging Cochrane as a

Following upon the question of finances at St. Joseph's parish and the drive for funds with which 10 keduce the mortgage on parochial school, it was 1earned today that a delegation of parisl1ioners are plan- nlng to hold a meeting at which time plans will be made for the in- auguratiUn of a drive during which 1t is hoped to raise several thousand dollars through the present year. Requests have been made of the employed parishioners that one weeks salary be donated voluntar- fly as a means of bringing about . great reduction in the parish debt.
 This committee 1t is understood will launch a movement to relieve the strain, and 1t will be asked thst everyone in a position to do SO, make Q weekly contribution, regu- lated according to the income of that particular person.
 The action follows a sermon preached at all masses in the church op last Sunday in which Rev. Joseph J. Valantiejus be- came the center of Q controversy, with many believing that he had considered asking for Q transfer.
 The proposed meeting, which will take place in the near future, will be attended by the leading pa- rishioners who nave been engaged in parish activities for several years. Plans will be formulated at

SALVATION ARMY
 SOLOIST PASSES
Lt..COlOnel Walter Mabee Entered Unit on Verge
 of Delirium Tremens

A voice that has been heard ir in hell now swells the heavenly choir. The miracle tones of Lieu. tenant Colonel Watler B. Mabee most famous of Salvation Army tenor soloists, will be heard no more He has passed on at the early agt of flfty-six.
 For nearly forty years he ha: sung his Gospel solos with startling effect for good. Thousands in every state of the union, as well as in thu countries of Europe, India, and Aus tralia, will recall with joy his sil. ver-toned messages of hope ant salvation.
 At least once in his career hi solo stopped a sermon in Q great Salvation Army gathering in Lon. don. He was asked to sing just be. fore Commissioner Hugh Whatmort famous Salvationist leader, was tt speak. The words of the hymn, feel ing sung by magic voice, stirred the crowd of 2000 to It's heart depths. Even before he had finished singing, a steady stream of seeking souls was started towards the peni- tent-form or mourners' bench There was no sermon preached that night, But many were the converts won.
 R.W., a New England blue-blood ex-West Pointer, and U. s. A. cap. tain, was on his way to commit sui. eide when he chanced for @ mo. ment in the Army's New York Tenn. pie and heard Mabee sing. R. w had quarrelled with his wife, hi boy had been taken from him. HI had left the U. s. army in disgrace and eventually found himself doint the most menial tasks in the bacl rooms of Bowery saloons. r When he entered The Salvation Army hall he was fearsome sight On the verge of delirium tremens he had just received a mercilesi busting from 8 nearby saloon.
 Even in his befuddled state ht felt he was fool to want to live AS Mabee said, "He was the sad. dest spectacle of humanity I hac ever seen." And he intended suicid, until he heard the Armys voca charmer sing. Prom Sinking Sandi He Lifted Me"
 R. w. sought Christ that night The miracle happened. Hope wa reborn. He aarted comeback trai which not only led to good citizen ship, but eventually to position family reunion, home and hap piness.
 Such stories are typical of Waite Mabee's ministry of song. His spiri was that of The Salvation Army 72,O00 singers who are consecrate' to the great task, so often accom- plished of Singing Men From Hel to Heaven.
