Cochrane piece follows: "Just quoting Mr. Leo Dlegel. National Professional Golf association champion of the United States, on a subject that is ofmuch Interest to Missourians. It is to the effect that Mrr.Horton from Springfield, Mo who has been blazing a trail through the Southland this winter picking up second and third money In Important tournaments, is going to be the greatest Ilnksmsn in the world.

"If he continues to take ex cellent care of himself as be does right now, he will lmprore steadily and In fire or ten' years will be at the height of his career.

Donle Bush has de veloped a new spirit on team whose lbtlessness was Tmild and additional punch has been added. Manager Bush, who quit Pitts burgh late last seasom sums up the situation neatly as follows: "We aren't claiming anything. We are Just getting ready ta play the best baseball we know how. I have been in the game a long Cre and I never saw a erew of young men go to. work as cheerfully as our squad has this spring; I dont know how many games we will win, but we will battle in all of them." The Sox went out last autumn to acquire some minor lesguers capable of swinging a bat with vigor.

That's the card. There are two outstanding attractions, Layton Barrerra end Murphy Jemes sffslrs, but even these dont run ewsy with the show. Zarro has a real opponent and so here Martin and the younger Layton.

Zarro held hb own in a 10 round er with Dugan Lsyton here two weeks ago and in Carter he gets a foe more hb site and height. Thb one goes eight rounds.

The principals all took lengthy workouts at the Convention hall arena yesterday and were pronounced in the pink of condition. They will weigh in at 2 o'clock thb afternoon. Enthusiasm at a high pitch' over the city and a capacity crowd ntinpsted tonight, according to Promoter Campbell "We haven't had such an enthusiastic response to early "ticket sales since we started last Campbell said today. half winners. Just as It done In the Western association.

Under thb plan, suggested by Ray Latchem, hustling organiser of tiro basketball leagues, the city's municipal baseball league, and sponsor of the Pair Play tournament, each club would be allowed one 'linger," which probably would be the pitcher. Some of the leagues around the district have gone on record time after time with rules prohibiting the paying of any of Its players, but there has been no Teal organisation and the rule has been violated regularly. Team managers in southwest Missouri, especially In the Willow Springs, West Pblns. Mountain Grove and Mansfield territory, are asked to write to Latchsm In care of the Peabody 8 port shop, 420 South Jefferson avenue, or The Leader sports editor, and express their opinions on the proposal. In the' event there enough response steps will be taken to orgenbe such a league, Latchem said today.

a o' Ted Rutchens, manager of the Springfield I Wreckers basketball team of Springfield, wondering how the Stockton tournament officials paired hb team with Blmone Brothers three straight games Sat urday and dldnt allow the Wreckers to play the Fair Grove Clowr which eventually won the championship.

Bathers, Brushing Up A PERFECT WOES OF PILOT ARE DISCUSSED BY ELBERFELD Players Make the Successful Baseball Manager. Vet eran Kid.

Thinks By KID ELBERFELD I've been asked by fans why It that some fellows who were never topnotchers as players make good managers. 1 t's ji they have good connections with big league and AA clubs and can call upon them at any old time when they are going bad, or when fighting for a pennant the play tr they want ta rushed to them 111.. A I I've battled them and know. Elberfeld Another thing, most of the real good managers have poor towns and can't draw the crowds, win' or lose, and If they put, out a lot of money for players they can't get It back the gate. Some teams win pennants but lose money, their managers putting the money out without any consideration tor their owners' pocketbooks.

Lots of managers are chased out of town after winning a One reason for that the club loses money and the manager'! salary too high, Tou all have seen lota of man agers work years before becoming famous. Take Connie Mack, for instance. He considered today by fans as the greatest manager simply because he won the world series, but it took him IS years to mould that pennant Connie had hb troubles after he soia nis pennant winners 15 years ago. He figured he could step right out and build another pennant winner in two or three years, but he failed because he could not get the players fitted for hb machine; something always went wrong like a player slipping with age. Scoutt Failed So Connie Flopped.

Hb scouts kept picking up young pbyert to fit In with hb old ones, but when the old ones petered out, the young ones were getting along in years and would become old themselves before they caught up with the veterans in ability. Then be would have to start out again to get younger ones, until he finally hit the combination. Of course, you must give hb pitchers most of the credit. No team has a chance for a pennant unless it has three of four good pitchers.
