Manager Harris Says Braves
To Be in Thick of Fight
Old friend Luman Harris, manager of the Atlanta Braves,
hasn’t been put on the spot in the various polls depicting
the finish of the Braves in the National League pennant
Harris pitched for Paul Richards when old Slug man
aged the Atlanta Crackers of the Southern League. Harris
in that time was on Atlanta pennant winners. He and Paul I
Richards make a good team.
Some believe Richards is running the show. However, '
Luman was asked pointblank the other day who was man- I
aging the Braves—him or Richards.
“I am," Harris answered.
We believe that. Luman has good major league experi
ence and he has his own ideas or plan as to how to manage I
a team.
He was asked recently about his secrets of managing.
"If I told you that everyone would know them.”
Ole Lum is blunt and frank and honest. We believe he
will make a good showing in his first year as Braves man
ager.

Irish Takeover

You have my permission to read this observation on your
program if you wish:
The hawks in Washington don’t need to worry about a
Communist take over, but a take over by the Irish—Ken
nedy, McCarthy or Pat Paulsen. Beware, beware, their truth
goes marching on.
Very truly yours,
