WOLVERTON FIRST MANAGER
SINCE KENWORTHY TO WIN
SOLID SUPPORT OF TEAM
_ i
By ROYAL BROUGHAM
SAN JOSH, Cal, March 14.—Just
what caliber bail club will represent
the fair •city of Seattle in the coming
baseball tournament, cannot be ascer
tained at this early date, but sev
eral days’ Observation in this camp
of aching bones ami sore muscles
has disclosed this tact, the club is
for Harry Wolvertcin, stronger than
garlic salad.
Esprit do corps, .morale, team
spirit, or whatever it is that a base
hall team is supposed to have, is
as necessary as a good ‘pitching staff
or a couple of .30!) bitters. This club
has it in largest gobs. Excepting for
a brief spell wh»r. Iron Duke Ken
worthy was /in the saddle. Scuttle ball
clubs have lacked able field mar
shals ever since they cast their lot
with Proxy McCarihyVi circuit. The
Civ mere, the Adamses and the .Vlc
Crodies lacked 'that something which
makes a successful loader. Wolver
ton has it and the ifarty-odd members
of the Seattle Indians have accepted
tho Gray Wolf as their Moses and
aro following along at hits heels Ilka
the children of Israel in the days
of old.
Foes Started to Knock
When Jim Boldt reached to San
Francisco .and signed Wolverton last
winter. Bill Klepper, Jack Caek and
other foes of the Seattle forces said
Boldt 'WU's digging up tho dead from
the tomb like archaeologists In Egypt.
But 'far a guy wh) la supposed to ho
a back number Harry Wolverian hi
more friends than a man who h is
just faMcn heir to a nnlDion dollars
and 13 looking for somebody to help
hint spen<I It. Verily the Gray Wolf
Is still an idol in this old league,
and from Canada to Mexico the tans
will welcome the return of their for
mer favorite.
For instance, Jack Janies, the able
San Francisco baseball writer, state
that (ho Bay City fane are looking
at the race in this manner:
“If tho Semis cant cop, wo hope
Wolverton can.”
Wolverton Still Popular Figure
Scoop Glohson, another authority
on sporting affairs, declares that
Wolverton is still one of the popular
figures in baseball, notwithstanding
his absence from active competition.
Then there’s Harry Gardner. Harry’s
antipathy is managers, but itbe Sage
of Bartow went on .record Just this
morning as holding 'his new chief in
h'gli regard. So il goes with Eldred.
Billy Dane, Vean Gregg and the rest.
All hands say they'li give their best
for Harry, which is a pretty good
start toward a successful season.

Clash on Art

Washington Smith, justice —of the

FYesno county grand jury has ideas
about art. Unfortunately, the artistic
ideas of the two conflict.
For many years .fudge Smith has
collected "iph-ces of art” and lias
pasted said “pieces" on his wall. In
Fact file works of rt today cover
the w ill in the court of justice in
lieu of wall ipUpcr.
in a report just filed by the grand
jury, the following opinion was ex
pressed about the court's art gallery:
“The office of the justice of ihe
peace, George W. Smith, is in a de
plorable condition and is not in
keeping with tho dignity of this
county. The quarters are small, anti
Larger quarters shouhl be provided,
and til' decorations in the rooms
should be soleeted with greater care
and made to harmonize with 111* pur
pose of the office.”
To date Justice Smith has not in
dicated whether lie will move his art
collection when h.» takc.a his larger
offices, or whether he wild select new
pictures "with gr iter care." The
I res nl collection comprises fencing
glttl. Indian girls, society girls, cal
endar girls, bathing girls, cabaret
