 It has been said time and again that McNutt could have blocked the nomination of Henry Wal lace; probably could have taken it away from him. So it was Me- Mutt who made the real sacrifice for party solidarity when ne pulled himself out of the race That strengthened his following.
 It seems inconceivable that Me- Mutt should fail to play promi- nent role in the next four years. His refusal to buck Roosevelt per mitted him to come out of the fracas with the McNutt organiza- tion developing a good deal more horsepower than when he went in.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Aug. '. Fans who pack the Chattanooga ball park to be amused by Joe En- gels latest tomfoolery dream-dp think Joe Engel is a clown.
 Baseball's MT. Bigs think he is one of the shrewdest business men in the game today. Not alone for his brainstorm stunts that draw the fans to see even los ing team-but mostly for his abil- ity to pick up ballplayers at a song and then sell them for huge sums.
 Consider this example and you get the idea:
 Connie Mack in 1888 gave En- gel $25,000 and ballplayer - for Dee Miles One year later Engel sold that ballplayer, a mere throw-in on the Miles deal for $36,O00 His name is Bill Nichol- son and the Chicago Cubs are his present proud owners.
 Engel is known to fandom chief ly for his ballpark stunts. He once staged an elephant hunt, with na- tives and all the trimmings, in connection with a game at Chat tanooga. Another time he rigged up canary cages in the stands, told the fans they could at least listen to the birdies sing if the play of his seconddivision club became too boring. On one occasion he gave away a furnished house and lot, value $l5,000. Stunts like that pull in the fans and make his ball club paying proposition no mat.

ter it's position in the Southern Association race.
 But that other angle, the business of acquiring and selling players is the one that commands respect among baseball magnates.
 With Kiki Cuyler, his manager to develop diamonds in the rough Engel has set up a phenomenal sales record in the last two years In 1888 he sold five players for a total of $82,500. The sales: Sing ton to Brooklyn, $20,000; Millies to Baltimore, $7,500; Miles to Atn- letics, $25,0OO; Honeycutt to Giants $25,000: Hayes to Washington $5,000.
 In 1889 his sales total was $54,000. Lanahan went to Pitts burg for $6,000, Nicholson to the Cubs for $36,000, Letchas and Benjamin to the Phillies foI $10.000 and Williams to Washing ton for $2,500.
 His latest big sale, that of Rightfielder Mike Dejan to the Cincinnati Reds for $30,000 brings his total to $176,000 since 1888.
 eDsjann Good Example The Dejan case is an excellent example of Engefs ability to rec ognize potential stars. Only a year ago Mike wasn't even picked as an honorable mention man or the Western International League all-stars. Four teammates W h C were picked are now playing Class A ball or lower

Women Urged to Come Out for Sport with Clay

The Juneau Shotgun Club is hold ing another shoot at 630 tomorrow night at the club traps near the Salmon Creek power house.
 All interested parties are urged to come out. Last Thursday evenings shoot drew a record number of shooters, approximately thirty gun ners going out for the clay bird events.
 Club members, still driving for continued interest in this old time gunning sport, urge that women also come out and declare that There will be plenty of coaching for all beginners"

sold the Chattanooga Club and Engel worked for the Senators he specialized in third basemen.
 But it's pretty generally recog- nized that he's a slicker at pick ing them for any position and it's only fair warning to remind base ball owners that he's out much of the time this summer scouting for those uncut diamonds he'll take them right away for a song if he can get them for that.
