That hurt, and to redeem himself
he donned football toys for the first

He fully demonstrated his courage

time equal to seven complete

What's i'm a Name?

NOME day an enterprising, ambi-
- tious individual is going to think
up bookful of new names for race
horses-and thereby make a fortune.
Naming a racehorse isn't as SIM
pie as it sounds. No two can have
the same names, and to make it
even tougher, the name can't be
longer than Is letters, including
dashes, spaces and all forms of
punctuation marks. You can't
name a horse after a public enemy
and you can't be sacrilegiOus or OBJ
scene. To name horse after some
real person you must secure that
PERSONS permission.
The 15-letter rule was made be-
cause Is units are the maximum
which can be handled in racing

ical layout out of killer. Before this
rule was adopted a horse named
Battle of Killiecrankie used to cause
a lot of trouble.
Owners of thoroughbreds have so
many difficulties finding names that
haven't been used that they often
send in list of a dozen or more
for each arrival, and the Jockey
club uses the first original one.
Hal Price Headley has a good
stakes winner named "Menow."
Headley had named horses for ev-
cry member of his family but him
self, SO he figured it was "now"
about time to name a horse after
"me." So it was Menow.

Speeding of Sports
Tension Eased
As Managers
Sign Contracts

M ANAGING major league base
ball club used to be job that
made football coaching seem like a
civil service appointment. Manag-
ers shifted as rapidly as the Cubs
standing in the National league.
Now. however, it begins to look
like the fellows in the managerial
positions are going to have a chance
to unpack their travelling bags.
Not long ago, during lull in the
pennant races, the sudden signing of
Oscar Witt by the Cleveland Indj.

Witt Reign Continues

Oscar Witt had been long rumored
on his way out. Alva Bradley, pres
ident of the Indians, resigned him
as manager as an answer to what
he considered unfair criticism of
Witt by fans and even players.
Bradley announced that he is "more
than pleased" with Wits reign, and
would continue to back him up in
all future decisions.
Walter o. Briggs, owner of the
Detroit Tigers, made substantially
the same statement in regard to
Del Baker, who had also been ru-
mored as through.
The best managers need time to
build championship ball clubs.
None of them can take a weak,
faulty team and win pennants. To
build for the future takes time. 1t
can't be done in one or two years.
Luckily, club owners realize that.

ans and Del Baker by the Detroit
Tigers was announced by the pow
ers that be.
Prior to that, Jimmy Dykes had
agreed to new two-year contract
with the Chicago White Sox and
Fred Haney was given a vote of
confidence by the st. Louis Browns.
Mccarthy and the Yanks are one
and the same. Connie Mack will be
in Philadelphia for as long as he
wants. Joe Cronin of the Boston
Red Sox is safer than a government
bond. Which, in the American
league, leaves Bucky Harris of the
Washington Senators as sort of an
unknown quantity. Observers are
looking for his retention. After all,
he didn't have another Zeke Bonura
to bat in more than 100 runs.
Safe for a Year
In the National league things are
much the same. Bill McKechnie is
already under long-term contract
to the Cincinnati Reds. memphis
Bill" Terry and the New York
Giants are closer together than
Siamese twins. When the St. Louis
Cards climbed to second place they
assured Ray Blades Of another term.
Doc Prothro has made more than
satisfactory start at Philadelphia.
Casey Stengel will probably stick
around the Boston Bees and play
out a poor hand. "Lippy Leo" Du-
rocher, cordially disliked by fans
and players alike, is nevertheless
doing bang-up job with the Brook
Ign Dodgers.
That leaves two managers in the
National circuit. Gabby Hartnett of
the Chicago Cubs and "Pie" Tray
nor of the Pittsburgh Pirates. The
wolves, of course, have been after
both of them. But it wouldn't be
too surprising to see both of them
back in the same position for the
1910 season.
Hartnett has been managing a
team Of crippled old men. The
Cubs outstanding pitching and de-
fensive power evaporated this year.
1t would be next to impossible to
list all the misfortunes the Cubs
have encountered since the begin
ming Of the season. Hartnett has
done a good job considering the
playing material at his disposal.
Traynor survived the 1888 season
when his team blew a pennant.
This year the Waners have Slipped
a long way, Johnny Rizzo collapsed,
and his pitchers haven't been Of
much help. So he should get anoth.
er chance.
A situation so favorable to incum-
bent managers practically is with
out precedent in the big leagues.
It's a rare year when all 16 man
ayers in the two leagues get through
intact, let alone be awarded new
contracts.

Anna was, not receiving, and there
seemed nothing else the caller could do.
She walked slowly across the street
to side entrance of her studio build

looked up, in time to see the shade
once more drawn an inch away from
the window. She smiled and made a
gaily reassuring gesture, but the shade
fell back into place. She re-entered
her building and gloomily returned to
her studio.
She had done all she could. Prob
ably she had done more than anyone
else would have done. She would dis
eat the dinner she had prepared for
herself that morning-the dinner she
had so recently hoped Anna and the
child would share with her on the
roof garden, picnic fashion.
She must eat it alone. as she had
originally expected to, but now she
would have it in her studio and look
out over the river as she did so. No

misguided efforts, of even the privilege

dishes she meant to use. She was a

But Mrs. barrow knew already. She,
too, had sat down, had taken the
child onto her lap. She had pulled the
bandana off its head on the maids

now was the head and face of child
