SIGN AN EXPERT

When the Tigers needed new
road secretary in the middle of
last year they figured transporta-
ton was his biggest problem so
they signed an expert. For %
years Clare was with the Michigan
Central Railroad. He supervised
parties and large groups. He knew
how to move them with the great
est ease.
The problems of the road secre-
tary are many and depend to a
great extent on the cooperation
of the players Clare is extremely
popular with players, coaches and
newspapermen. He is always ready
to do that extra little favor that
helps out in pinch and as a re-
suit the players are willing to give
him every aid possible.
He has taken team out of the

pay Is cents it likely will be split

that 80 cents so as green fees and
the rest as usual 10 the prize fund.
In other words the lunch will be

emily sandwiches then that will be
okay with them.
