In considering the great managers I have played against I do not hesi tate in having Mr. Mack head the list. I regard Jphn McGraw of the New Tork Giants as another of the truly greats. I have played in a number of world series against the Giants and in a great many exhi bition games. "McGraw’s system might be called the direct opposite of Mack’s, but equally effective. Mc- Graw dominates the player, his word is final. On the other hand Mack allows for a certain amount of initiative, and with a great many of his players permits them to shift the play if they consider it advisable. “I have had the greatest admir ation for Bill Carrigan. I was mighty sorry when he quit base ball. The game needs managers like Bill Carrigan. His passing was a distinct loss to the Ameri can League. “Carrigan was the boss. Every good manager must be that, but Carrigan had away that made a call down easy to take. He was a wonder in handling a pitching staff, had the courage to do the unusual and always shouldered the blame. It must have been a real pleasure to play under Bill Car rigan. Strong For Speaker. “Os the managers of the newer school in the American League, I take my hat off to Tris Speaker. The more I play'against his team the more I admire the manner in which he handles’bis club.

Ke must mix up his play. " “A little happening that came up in a recent game with the Cleveland club made me respect Speaker all the more as a mana ger. The Sox managed to tie up the game and force it into extra innings. Thurston, a very effec tive relief pitcher was working for the Sox. He is a particularly hard man to bunt on. I “In the 13th inning .Toe Sewell, the first man to face Thurston, doubled to right. Obviously one would expect the next batsman to , bunt in an effort to get the runner to third. Stephenson, the next bat-1 ter, is not a great, bunter, but how he can whale, that ball! Speakers, crossed every one up bv having : Stephenson hit... He deubjed the right field line scoring Sewell:' with the run that won the game, j ! “Speaker didn’t want to waste great a hitter as Stephenson with a mere bunt. The hunch won the ball game for Cleveland. A man ager must have plenty of courage : and be willing to stand criticism i to attempt the unusual in baseball. That is why I regard Speaker a great manager. “While I have never played against Kid Gleason as manager of the opposing team, I want to | say there are few shrewder lead ers than my present boss.” DAWSON HIGH ENDS STRENUOUS WEEK DAWSON, Sept. 20.—The Daw-| son high school football team has put in a very strenuous week of practice, and the boys are fast rounding into Shane for their ini tial try on the gridiron. It has been much too hot for real football weather, and conse suently Prof. Cox has been unable to keep the boys at the fast pace that is usual at this time of the football season.

The grade and the current carried the ball from its position in the haz ard to casual water in the green. Should the ball be returned to the hazard where it first struck, or has. player the right to lift from the position in which it was found and drop it without penalty?
