When Mahoney joined the Mtirph they came tip from third plae to tecotid, defeatiug tb Town sends, league leaders, as well at Ihe iSoostert.

That narrows the field down to Miller Huggvis, who came to the Yanks somewhere back about 1917; Wilhert Robinson, leader of the Dodgers since 1915, and John-Me-draw, of Ihe fiianls, nnd Connie Mack of the Athletics.

Krajicek is also fast on his feet, an accurate peggcr and a heady fielder. Berry is by no means a weak hitter, and it was his bat that almost caused the Townsends to lose the pennant when the Murphy de feated them, 4 to 2, in a twilight game. Recognizing Berry's strength with the willow', tho"., Townsends drafted him the following day for a twilight game with the Knights of Columbus. The game cried, 5 to 4, the Y.mks home this year or take himself hence, despite he fact that for the Townsends, and Berry con he wvi in 1921, while Robbie Mc- . tributcd that winning -score.

No mere manager could finish last for seven years and hover about that spot in the midst of his eighth season and still remain among those present. At that, he won enough pennants between 1901 and 1914 to merit more than ordinary consider ation. Conni and McGraw, the-winners cf many pennants, strjul out as the only 20-ycar managers in all base ball, and they owe their longevity as much to circumstances as to re mits attained. Both arc stock holders, and McGraw, in addition, is given carte blanche in the matter of buying talent. Were it not for that it is extremely doubtful whether John would have been able 'to bag seven pennants in some 22 starts. Football Practice Gets Under Way at Yale N'cvv Haven, Conn., Sept. 9. The first football practice at Yale took place last week, a large number of candidates taking part. The schedule, including games with "Iowa, Army, Princeton and Harvard, is an espe cially hard one, and the Blue mentor is anxious to get bis merlin good physical shape tor the long jrmd. An interesting feature of the schedule is the fact that both Wil liams an l Anuv use Harvard's sys tem.

The third corner finds Mancusco of the North Omaha Boosters chosen for leading honors. Mancusco is a fast tickler and a good hitter. Clink Clair, ex-western leaguer, is a much headier third sacker than Mancusco, but docs -not possess the dash and vigor of this youngster. Clair of the W. O. Ws. is valuable for bis knowledge of the game and his fac ulty for stopping the hard ones, but his stick work is not what it could be. Lindbcrg of the Cusacks proved the sensation of the year at shortstop, and won his w,ay to first choice over a lot of good matt-rial. The flashy Swede is one of the best inficlders ever produced on Omaha sandlots. In a game against the W. O. Ws. which resulted in a- 1 to 0 shutout for Krupski, the W. O. W. ace, Lind bcrg made 11 assists, one putout and one bobble- This single error was on a try out of his territory, and really should have been credited as a hit. Good Fielder. Lindbrrg is consistent in his field ing and it was his strength at short stop that helped to make the Cusacks into a Class A team after a Class C start. Lindbrrg is fast on his feet, and also has considerahle power with the bat, although he sometimes falls into a slump. But, without a doubt, he is the classiest shortstop in ama teur ball today. Jimmy Mirasky, star, shortstop for t he South Side Merchants, is riilitltcd to second hon ors, Jimmy is a brilliant fielder, of the flashy type, but inclined to get erratic in the tijjht place. Jimmy is a! i a timid batsman. But he is rapidly developing into a star in the j difficult territory between third and ' second. ! In ruht tii-M we.ptace George Su it) of the I l.i A tlwmpiotis.

Others who deserve special men tion for their work besides these men are Yost, Murphy first sacker; Stan ley Lacy, second sacker for the Lake Merchants: Phil Tracy of the South Side merchants, at third; Skomal, Woodmen shortstop; Jack Tracy of the Wows, Badura of the Gunners and F. Rokusck of the Murphys, as fielders; E Rokusek and Shalherg, Murphy battery; Crawford and Guin notte, Nebraska Tire battery, and Parsley of The Omaha Bees, tail endcrs, whose batting and versatile fielding make him a good utility man. - An outstanding feature of the mythical nines is that the three Mirasky brothers, tVo South Sidcrs and one Woodmen, are mentioned for all-star honors. Three South Omaha Merchants, two Woodmen, two Townsends and one man from the Boosters, Caseys, Cusacks, Murphys and Lakemen make up the first team. The second team is composed of three South Siders, three Woodmen, three Drive Its, two Townsends and one Murphy Dit It. I hose getting special mention are four Murphys, two Woodmen, two Nebraska Tires, one Gunner, one Lakeman, one South Sidcr and one Omaha Bee man.

Askerti snog August IN July, just past, and now again in August, The Omaha Bee gains in advertising exceed all other papers by wide margins and in August both in total inches and percentage of gain. 1 The Omaha Bee believes that the real basis of a newspaper's value is its circulation arid rate, plus the buying power of that circulation. However, much emphasis has for years in Omaha been placed on advertising volume. Therefore, The Omaha Bee submits the figures of gains jn advertis ing of all classes. These figures tell a story so plain that "he who runs may read."
