DREW MAY TRY TO COME BACK.

Clarke recently sent in his resignation | and it was accepted, to take effect at the end of the season. The asking for waivers at this time is here taken as an indication that Dreyfuss will his manager to step out in a few daj 1d put a new man in charge. The Pirates are carrying a lot of rookies and more are to join the club before the week is out. There is nothing to be lost by giving all the new material a thorough try- out in championship contests for the rest of the National league season and it would not be a bad idea to let the manager for 1916 get a line on his men and prospects. There is a lot of speculation here as to the identity of the new Pirate manager. Two men lead the field for the position. They are Hans Wag- ner and Tommy Leach of the Several other candidates have mentioned, among them Jack ricks of Indianapolis. AND THEY CAN been HAVE IT. N. B. C. Bowling Team Wants to Ar- range Games With Herald Bowlers, Hearing of the fame of the Herald bowlers, the National Biscuit com- pany team has issued a challenge to meet the Church street artists on the Aetna alleys next week, and their wants will be supplied as soon as the Veribest team is disposed of Friday evening by the Herald five. The boys are practicing every even- ing and McEvoy, Daly and Captain Edwards are displaying a form that promises to make a mark for them in the coming contest. From Captain Hornkohl of the Veri- best team comes the word that his team is in fine shape (it will need to be) and a fast series of games should be the outcome Friday.

R. J. REYNOLDS TOBACCO COMPANY, Winston-Salem, N. C. Every once so often, if not sooner, something happens which reminds us of the justly celebrated Butter Scotch- men in “Davy and the Goblin.” We have outlined the higly tech- vical position of the Butter Scotch- men before—but we will do so again. They would have been greatly feared, except for one defect, as pursuers— Viz., they couldn't run until they got warmed up—and they never get warmed up till they ran. Hence Packey and Mike. | To a certain degree this 1s the main | trouble with Packey McFarland and Mike Gibbons. They can't fight until they -get well warmed up—and they can’t get well warmed up till they fight. But they can both run with great facility, whether warmed up or not. This latter sentence is not intended as any reflection upon the courage of €ither, unerring &bility. Their main motto is— He who jabs and then sets sail Will 'soon collect more sucker kale Being such precious fighting bric-a- brac as to draw down $30,000 for thirty minutes’ work (voice from the cne buck seats—Whadya mean, “work?”) or something like $1,000 a { minute or around $17 a second, it is not to be wondered that they should refuse to take any chances with such priceless flesh and bone—the accent befng where you care to put it.

We doubt if even Vernon Castle could rteally earn that much money in a minute, though it be treason to even hint at such. Just figure up how much work you would be willing to do for $1,000, if the chance came, and then imagine Packey and Mike heing paid that much in thirty lump sums, or rather thirty times that much in one lump sum, for making threatening gestures and indulging in | lows t work almost as rough and brutal as a . play P.

It requires no great strain to admit that both are excep- tionally clever young men—clever with their hands, feet and heads— and doubly clever in their business * fnstincts They are so clever that they might fieht twenty rounds a night for twenty years in evening dress without Tumpling a tie or dislodging a halr. In the process of such battling they could both smake pipes and not have an ash wafted to the floor. We doubt very much, fighting ag long as they cared if they could It to, ! bit one another with shotguns at five pac And wh-n to cieverness on defense is added the tip that neither desired to take any greater chance than climbing through the ropes, the spectacular and souls wrecking thrill engendered can be cesily appreciated—even by one who . iz at most times a hard appreciator. Being Further Remindful— No one, even before their meeting, could ever question the extreme cleverness of both or each, personally or impersonally. But it is like the cleverness of Grover Cleveland Alexander and Wal-, ter Johnson itching against each other with the remainder of both casts made up of overfed penguins, The score would .be 0 to 0 if they pitched forty-seven years. Or again. it is like the cleverness f two football elevens, who can stop any play the other makes, but who couldn’t carry the ball through a light breeze or who on attack couldn't~ smash the cuticle of a custard pie. s. this uncanny Yes, sir, it pleases the jimmy pipe smoker just as it satisfies the cigarette roller !
