WILL CONTEND
FOR PENNANT
CINCINNATI, Oct. 1 (by Associa
ted Press).—Patrick J. Moran, man
ager of the National League pennant
winners, termed by Red “fans” as the
“Wonder Man,” broke into profession
al baseball through the Eastern
League. In 1900 he received his first
major league contract when he was
purchased by the Boston Nationals
from Montreal. He caught for Bos
ton five years, and was released to
the Chicago Cubs. He had little
chance to work behind the bat for
that club, both Kling and Archer be
ing in their prime raid doing the back
stopping.
Moran, in February 1907, accepted
a contract to manage the small Wat*
erbury, Conn., team, but cancelled
this to take one with Connellsville a
month later. He made another change
the following month when he went
back to the Cubs as a coach. About
this time the wonderful Cub machine
Degan to De noucea m uaseuau, ana
a great deal of credit is now being
bestowed upon Moran for the showing
that club made in the succeeding four
years. It is said that his coaching
was mainly responsible for the good
pit citing done by Miner, Brown, Over
all, Reulbach and Lundgren.
Moran left Chicago in 1910 and
went to the Philadelphia Nationals,
where he again acted as coach to the
pitchers. He was with Philadelphia
when “Billy” Murray and later Char
ley Dooin managed the team, succeed
ing the latter in 1915. He won the
pennant that year, through the good
work of Pitcher Alexander and Catch
er Killefer. After Alexander and
Killifer had been sold to the Chicago
Nationals, Moran made a highly suc
cessful showing with the Philadelphia
team. He was released by that club
last year and signed a contract with
Manager McGraw of the New York
Giants, as coach for this season. He
did not join that club this year, how
ever. McGraw permitting him to can
cel his contract to become manager
of the Reds in place of Christy Math
ewson, who had managed the club in
1918, and who was still in overseas
duty with the American army.
The White Sox’ Manager
CHICAGO, Oct. 1 (by Associated
Press)—William “Kid” Gleason, man
ager of the Chicago White Sox, has
been in major league baseball thirty
three years. He was born at Cam
den. N. .1., October 26, 1865, and be
gan his baseball career in 1886 at
Williamsport, Pa. While James Cal
lahan was manager of the Chicago
American League team, Gleason was
assistant manager and coach, and
after Callahan was replaced by Clar
ence Rowland in 1917, Gleason con
tinued with the club as aide to Row
land, and it is said that much of the
success of the White Sox that season
was attributable to the work of Glea
son. The next season, 1918, Gleason
stepped out of baseball and went in
tn hllcjinDcc in T)V» i 1 o i-I i __i
he and Otto Knabe of the Chicago
Nationals are partners. Before the
present season was started Charles
A. Commiskey, owner of the White I
Sox, decided upon a change of man
ager and Gleason was re-engaged.
Although Gleason is old enough to
be the father of a majority of his
players, he is as active and handy
with boxing gloves as any man
on the team, not excepting Kerr, who
is a pugilist far above the average.
Gleason tips the scales at about
175 pounds and is five feet, seven and
a quarter inches tall. He is married
and lives in Philadelphia. This is
the seventh year that Gleason has
been with the White Sox. In the old
days, Gleason, who is a student of
the “old school,” was a member of
the famous Baltimore Orioles, and
still carries out all his teachings of
the old masters—fight and never give
up. He has instilled this fighting
spirit into the men on the White
Sox, and it is this more than any
thing else which has placed the club
at the head of the American League.
Gleason is a past-master in the art
of handling players. When he notices
a player slipping he quietly benches
the player and sends in a substitute.
Time after time the player taken out
has returned to the game and played
at top speed. During batting prac
tice Gleason will always be found
with a bat in his ha.nd and making
the infielders “step some.’ He bats
and throws right handed. In his ear
ly days in baseball Gleason was a
pitcher, and he declares that today he
can pitch better than a majority of
the box men in the League.

WAR STAMPS
PROVIDE WAY
FOR SAVING
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.—Total
sales of War Savings Stamps through
out the United States for the first
seven months of 1919 amounted to
nearly $100,000,000, according to a
report made by the savings division
of the treasury department, Tho ex
act figure is $95,400,470.21. This
makes a per capita investment of
about ninety cents, whereas the gov
ernment at the beginning of the year
asked a per capita purchase of $10
worth of war stamps in order to meet
war debts.
The saving of nearly 100,000,000 in
seven months is concrete proof that
the government’s thrift campaign is
checking extravagant expenditures,”
the report says.“Checking of extrav
agant buying is the only remedy for
high prices. Saving $100,000,000
simply means cutting down demand
by $100,000,000 and turning the money
to much needed production of neces
sities.”
Leading economists of the country j
have said there is no hope of lower
prices until the people understand
generally that they must stop buying
things that are not necessary and
they have indorsed the United States
government war savings stamps cam
paign as the most effective remedy to
that end.
