lowing Cincinnati's
Sunday Victory

PITTSBURGH, Sept. H. w
Gabe Paul, travelling secretary OF
the Cincinnati baseball club, an
lnounced Sunday the resignation OF
Bill McKechnie as Red manager.
The announcement was made
following Cincinnati's double win
over the Pittsburgh Pirates here.
McKechnie, veteran baseball
man who led the Reds to two pen
nants since become manager in
1888, told neWsmen his resignation
followed a telephone conversation
with Warren Giles, club general
manager, earlier Sunday.
81 severed my connection with
the Reds because l felt it was ad-
visable to have the matter settled
at this time so both the club and
myself could make define plans
for the future" McKechnie said.
Cincinnati players did not know
anything about McKechnie's move
until they trouped into the visi-
tors clubhouse after Sundays
game. Then the quiet, silver
haired manager broke the news
to them.
McKechnie who makes his home
in Williamsburg, a Pittsburgh sub
urb, made it clear that he is not
quitting baseball.
Il left with a mutual understand
ing" he said in a statement after
wards And with the frierdliest Of
feelings for both Mr.. Giles and
MI. C-osley." Powell Crosley, Jr.,
is president of the club.
Il am not retiring from base
ball." he continued. my stay in
Cincinnati was a happy me-. We
had some great teams particularly
those in 1889 and 1910. In my nine
years, we finished in the second
division only twice - in 1915 and
this year. CThe Reds are current
ly in sixth place..
I'VE finished first twice. second
once, third twice and fourth twice.
In 1910 we won the world cham
pionship.
Baseball Is a hard game and
situations like these are part of
the game"
McKechnie said he planned 20
leave Pittsburgh Sunday for a con-
ference with Giles in Cincinnati
tomorrow. He said the conference
would decide whether he will re-
main with the club the balance of
the eason or if his resignation is
effective Immediately.
CINCINNATI, Sept. %. - l1 -
Warren C. Giles, General manager
Of the Cincinnati Reds, confirm
ing the announced resignation of
Manager Bill McKechnie said Sun
day night the move was "in the
best interests of all"
In a statement to neWsmen Giles
declared: After discussing the
matter fully with Mr.. Crosley
(oWner Powell Crosley, Jr.). and
Bill McKechnie we concluded a
change in managers would be in
the best interests of all.
Our entire organization has
great respect and personal ad-
mlration for Bill. I have enjoyed
cur long association and sincerely
hope he will be able to continue in
baseball in some capacity in which
he will be happy"
Giles said he had had two tele-
phone conversations with McKech-
ME in Pittsburgh Sunday.
Bill is not going to st. Louis
with the team" he said. "He told
me he was coming to Cincinnati
tomorrow. He gave me to under
stand that he would continue as
manager through this season."
Giles said the club has 'three
Or four men outside the team" I'M

You're sure you won't want me

caught a faint note of pleading in
his voice.

a magnanimous gesture. "kieth'll
be here with me, of course" He
laughed. Going to make him start

he'll forget those high-handed Army

Joe looked at his plate. He'd
hardly touched the food there.
CAN'T Dad see what he's doing?
Keith thought miserably. It's just
as if he were saying, Joe, that you're
the family skeleton and so we're go
ing to hide you in the woods.
He admitted, of course, that his
father didn't mean it that way.
Hiram D. Bagley was the salt of the
earth-churchman. civic leader and
patron of charities. But he S snafuing
the mission this time. Keith thought
bitterly. 1t takes more than fatted
calf to welcome boy home.
When they went into the living
room Keith said: wonder if the
moths have chewed up all my civ
vies. Guess I'll go take look"
He went to his room. From under
his pillow he retrieved the evening
paper; he'd hidden it there so Joe
wouldn't see it. Those two local news
stories - and the brutal contrast
they presented. The full column

war record; an announcement that

brief item about Joe - announcing
that he was home after serving two
years in San Quentin prison.
Savagely Keith tore the paper into
bits and buried them in a waste
basket Then he took off his uni
form. He found Stacks and sport
shirt. They didn't fit we'll. But any
thing to reduce the contrast with Joe.
He went back to the living room,
thinking he d take Joe to movie
Dad too if he wanted to go. But he
found Joe had already retired to his
room.
The boys pretty much all in,
Hiram explained. He looked like a
solid. kindly patriarch as he stood
in front of the hearth - big, rubi-
cund, his hair streaked with gray
and his mild blue eyes lighting up at
kieth's entrance Said he had to
stand up on the train all the way
down from =" Hiram clipped his
speech short.

sively, Il wish you do me a favor.

HIRAM's cigar lighter, held sus-
pended, went out. "Why?" he asked
quietly.
Because Joe's got to face it out
here some time, and it might as we'll
be now. Packing him off to the
woods, alone, isn't - well, not just
right, Dad. He's done nothing to be
ashamed of. He was just loyal in
hot-headed way. When that fellow

Joey boy" Hiram Bagley
said to his younger son.
Slicing thick slabs from juicy
veal roast, Mr.. Bagley smiled be-
nignly at Joe, who was seated on his
left. Captain Keith Bagley, the
elder son, was seated on his right.
These three were all that we're left
of the Bagley family. and only to-
day had Keith and Joe come home
Sure l will, Dad" Joe said with
out warmth. His eyes, deep-sunk
and lusterless in a face of unnatural
pallor, stared straight across the
table at ribbons on the breast of
his brothers blouse.
BE just the right tonic for you
too, joe" Hiram Bagley said. That
tall, tangy spruce timber! Biggest

people promised me to give you a
break up there" He went on to build
up at length the advantages of job
he had secured for Joe in Oregon.
CoNCHA, the elderly Mexican ser

of Joe and another before Keith.
The look she gave Joe was caress.
She had mothered both of these boys
from infancy, but now it was Joe she
wanted most to put an arm around.
She knew what the old man was
doing - and she didn't approve.
Neither did Keith. He looked at
Joe with an ache of sympathy. Dads

Behind him the young bandit leader
looked at his fellows. did We rob
them or did that big-toothed fellow
rob u.s." he asked in puzzled voice.
In THE bus, however. the citizens
of Wang's Corners turned and stared
at Big Tooth. and Big Tooth stared
impudently back at them. without
a word. Under his dirty gray silk
gown was their money. but he had
taken it as his, and the law, he would
have said, was on his side.
Each man turned over, in his own
mind, what could be done. Ahead
was the Great Dragon Gorge. where
the precipice rolled down thousand
feet into a deep river. The bus
driver drove on, not turning his
head, and the women looked away.

Behind all those standing was Big

Big Tooth did not rise. Keep
your hands off my person." he said
in a majestic voice. II am the tax
collector. l represent the Nation"
He reached into his bosom and
brought out a folded sheet of paper,
which he opened before them. On it
were some names and great seal.
Here is my authority" he said.
MY person is sacred"
The younger bandits knew that
Nation" meant government" and
government" meant soldiers. Their
elders were continually preaching to
them about keeping out of trouble
with the government.
BE polite to officials; never rob
them, pay out money to them freely.
We can always get it back again"
So now they bowed to Big Tooth.
Excuse me sir" the young leader
said. 1--WE are so ignorant" and with
this he turned and shouted to his
men to get off the bus.
But Big Tooth was made bolder
than ever by this success. He swelled
himself up and glanced around at
the staring eyes of the robbed and
helpless people in the bus. Then he
roared at the young bandit leader:
do not think you can escape the
law 50 easily"
What do you want of us?" their
leader faltered.
"YoU have just done business"
Big Tooth declared sternly. 1T is
your trade, and you have made a
profit. Upon that profit l claim a
just tax"
"A tax?" faltered the young BAN
dit leader.
''One third, Big Toothannounced,
and held out his hand.
Those who watched could not be-
lieve what they saw: The young BAN
dts hurriedly cast up all the money
they had taken from them, divided
it into three piles there on the lonely
road, and put one pile into Big
Tooth's outstretched hands.
Big Tooth slowed it into his huge
