Good Manners7

Manners have changed con-
siderably since Julius Caesars
time, according to the Restau-
rant Association of Metropolitan
Washington, which called atten-
ton to these gems of the Roman
Emily Post during their observ-
ance of Restaurant Month in
October. I'm ancient Rome it
was good manners for you to
belch appreciatively and smack
your lips as signs you enjoyed
your food. If you didn't enjoy
your food, it was proper to pick
up your plate and hurl it against
the wall. Diners in those days
scooped up food with their
fingers and tossed the unwanted
morsels on the floor for dogs to
clean up" 1t is not suggested
that today's diners go back to
the good old days"

During the last year Of the

A Found Lost Discs
Passing the open garage one
day, I saw this bunch Of iden-

it up and saw what I thought

Shortly after this incident
Mrs. SheareS was interned by

After the liberation ! was 90

Mrs. Sheares took the next
logical step. She called the

How Bucky Harris Ovtfoxed Old Master John McGrow
CLEMENS KIRCHNER
Contributing Writer

TNHERE has never been another quite like John J.
Il McGraw in the history of big league baseball
He truculent, Opnionated, dictatOrial and vim
dictVe-but just about the best manager baseball
has known He was called Little Napoleon" and
it was no idle tag.
McGraw ,pas the New York Giants during their
era of glory An iron-fiSted martinez, he dictated
every of his players often to the calling of each
pitch He made mistakes of course. But he was more
often right than wrong and because of the Giants
were the most feared respected and unbeatable
aggregation in baseball during the '2OS.
In the fOndy-remembered year 1924, young
upstart appeared on the horizon. He was Stanley
(Buck) Harris who surprised 985 per cent of base
ball fans by plotting the Washington Senators to an
American League pennant.
The Giants naturally, were the National League
champions that year.
So it was Little Napoleon John McGraw versus
Bucky Harris, the Boy Wonder" in the World
Series. 1t the young playermanager, winning his
first laurels against the veteran strategist McGraw
To most fans the Series seemed a fOregOne con-
clusiOn It'll be murder" they predicted. what
those McGrawmenll do to the Senators. One citizen
loudly demanded an emergency law to fOrestall the
splitting of Senator blood
Surprise piled upon surprise as Harris and his
underdOgS managed to Stave off the ferOciOus Giants
and wreSt themselves a threegame tie. Walter
Johnson, the Big Train," dropped two heart
breakers to the rampagng Giant bats
The seventh and deciding, game was played
October IL, in Washington. Both teams were weary
and riddIed with injuries Roger Peckinpaugh, who
had spanked earlier victories for the Senator'S was
out crippled.
Harris started CurIey Ogden, an unknown
highlander. This prompted McGraw to revise the
Giant lineup to utilize more lefthanded batters.
Soon Harris switched to George MOgridge, left
handler, and McGraw cOuntered by replacing some Of
his Iefthanded batters with righthanders.
Harris was playing a cagey game with the Little
Napoleon The strategy was later to be revealed
1t was player-manager Bucky himself who drew
the first blood In the fourth inning he hit hOmerun
to put Washington in the lead, 10
But the Giants rebOunded with a vengeance in
the top of the sixth They pushed across three runs
and in the process MOgrdge was chased to the
showers. Fred Marberry, highlander, took the
mound for Washington
The Boy Wonder had Outfoxed McGraw. With
most of his Iefthand baters through for the day the
Little Napoleon had scanty reserves with which to
counter this maneuver. -
The tense and dramatic battle went on In the
bottom of the eighth Washington scored two runs
