Indeed, he has hud a pretty good look in on the trials and trib- ulations of gership through his service as captain of tha Chicago White Sox. ‘It does not seem any different to s told the writer A inanager does not except give advice and assume responsibility. I do not know be manager,” C the other how good the advice will be that I shall retail to the players of the White Sox but I’m willing to assume the responsibility. I'm only just be- ginning but I’m not much of a b Mever in the theory that the manager ts the whole thing in baesball. Seems to me that the managers have some credit coming to them. I guess that's due to the fact that I've been a play er so long myself. “Now and thén the boys in the field do things that the manager would not have time to tell them to do and thore are the little plays that win ball games. If you can win about two games more all around from the other teams thin they win from you, the pennant is yours. But you can't do that unless the boys in the field use their heads in the pinches." “What chance have you for 19: TRI-CUSHION MATCH TAKEN BY WINTERS Bys taking the final blo 0 point three-c billiard n match by a score of 60 to 40, Charles EB. “Fat” ¥ y won out over Slim Harris, Mountain pocket billiard champ, 200 to 181.

I have a pret- ty good ball team. If there {s a play- er of those now reserved by our club who can make a good shortstop he will get the job. We've got to have a little more strength at short than we had last season. But with Kamm, at third, myself at- second and Sheeley at first, the ball can be handled pretty well. Give us a good shortstop and put him between Kamm and me and you will see Kamm shine as the greatest third paseman of the league. I'll take my chances, being an old player—not in years, you know, but don’t forget that I've been playing baseball quite a long time.” ‘How about the pitchers: “We could stand more pitching, too.

JOHNSON QUINN: ic of their was a utfielder, | | (TELEPHONE, Z SACK Y BY HENRY L. FARRELL (United Pres’ Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Feb. —{United Press)—No title was at stake offi- jally when Sammy Mandell and Sid Terris met recently in New York, but Mandell, as the winner, was generally accepted as being the log- ical successor to Benny Leonard as the world’s lightweight champion. There is only one way his claim to the championship can be disputed, and that is by inviting him to fight it out. Mandell and Terris were admitted to the class of the contenders that were listed by the New York Box- ing Commission to compete in the elimination tournament that was planned as the means of finding Leonard's successor. Mandell, Terris and Johnny Dun- dee, former featherweight champion pulled out of the tournament, how- ever, and they took with them most of the prestige that the commission hoped the winner of the tournament would gain. Both Mandell and Terris were will- ing to compete in the tournament, but the commission wouldn't make a minor consession they asked, The managers of the two boxers asked in view of the fact that they were meeting before the tournament start- ed that the winner be given a bye through the first round and the the loser be allowed to enter the first round. The commission would not consent to this arrangement and the Wo boxers declined to enter.

This alibi cast some interesting angles on his hast departure from Paris where he had been booked to mget Fred Bretonnel Dundee said when he returned to this country that he came back to see a sick brother-in-law. Mandell is a legitimate lightwelght. Many of the boxers picked by the commission as contenders for the title will have great difficulty in making 1% pounds. Mandell isa good boxer, a fast worker and a promising puncher, He is not a killer yet, but he is a mere youngster and he ought to grow into a punch. It will be recalled that Leonard was not a great hitter at a corresponding stage of his career. It is great fighting heart and a natural inclination to fight that are Mandell’s most promising assets, He beat Terris because he had a stduter heart and was aroused to his most desperate fighting when he was hurt. Mandell took enough punishment in one round to stop a dozen men in the lightweight class. In a reck- less fury that exposed him to the danger of a knockout he tore back into Terris and took all the heart out of him, It was the fighting heart that Mandell showed that convinced com- petent judges that he is going a long way and that he is sure to become the lightweight champion when some kind of a bout can be arranged with an official award of the champion- ship for the winner. Mandell {s a great youngster and he will be as much a credit to the game as Benny Leonard was. He is ® great home-town boy. He thinks Rockford 1s the capital of the whole world and ‘that all cities are pre- tenders. He liyes at home with his family and manages a fine new gym- nasium when he is not fighting, He has made a lot of money in boxing and he will make a fortune before he is through because he is a colorful fighter and can always be depended upon for a lot of action.

Herbert Spencer, the agndstic philosopher, declared that the “deepest, widest, and most certain ofall facts is that the Power which the universe manifests to us is inscrutable.” ‘‘God is unknowable,” said he. WAS HE RIGHT? A young minister’s wife said to a friend, “I have no God! They have taken Him away and I do not know where to find Him. My childhood conception of a Man-God on a throne in heaven is gone — and I think rightly gone; but I have nothing to take its place. Here I am, without a God, working myself to death in a great church, and my heart is breaking for a Father to whom I can go, as I once did, with all my hopes and fears.”” WAS SHE WRONG? r How do we know there is a God? Does Science account for the Universe without a God? Are there more Gods than one? ; What has Nature to say of the Greatness of God? Does God possess Personality? What is a Spirit? Is there Plan or Purpose in the Universe? Is Atheism rational? Do we know that God is good? Does belief in God stand the tests of Life?
