Jack Slattery's Jolt When Judge Emil E. Fuchs, president of the Boston Braves, east about for a manager to succeed Dave Bancroft, he went well outside the majors 1 to find his man. Jack Slattery, whom Judge Fuchs selected, was not even connected with organis'd baseball at the time of his ) appointment early this month. For the past three years, the new manager of the Braves lias been coach ing the baseball teams of Boston College. Previous to that, Jack was coach at Harvard and at Tufts College, bej sides acting as a scout for the Boston Nationals. Exactly a quarter of a century ago t Slattery brake into the big leagues as a catcher for the old Boston Red Sox under .limin' Collins. He was with the White Sox, Brawns and Senators before his atm went bad in 1910. Jack ' served under George Stallings, former manager of the Braves, as a couch. There is little about baseball that Slattery docs not know. But the big ) tiling about him. train Judge Fuchs' ) point cf view, is (hat he is a Boston r . | man. Jack Slattery's job is to sell the Braves to the fans of Boston. Being a teal bean-eater himself, he knows the town, its likes and dislikes where baseball is concerned, and lie should be highly suecesful in making tile National League club there a real attraction for the Hub fans. Whether Slattery can succeed in

Must Apply For Adjusted Compensation Before Jan. 1 i. Indianapolis. Indiana. Nov. 19 — More than $10,000,000 will be lost to the World War veterans in Indiana unless those who have not already done so make application for adjust- : ed compensation within the next two weeks, Paul V. McNutt, Commander of the Indiano Department of The American Legion, stated today in an urgent appeal to bring in the strag- ,- glers. More than 15,000 Hoosier ex-service men are throwing away the award for service rendered in the world war by failing to make application. The last date in which application I for adjusted compensation for World War service may be made is January 1. The adjusted compensation is a certificate falling due twenty years after date of issuance. It is based on the length of serI vice and the average face value is ' SI,OOO. Veterans may borrow on the , compensation certificate at any time ; after it has been in their hands 2 vears. It is pointed out that each day the veteran postpones applying ■ tor the certificate advances the date that it will faU due and cuts down the interest on the principal that might be his if the certificate came due earlier. Veterans now finani ciu'ly independent may later in life ■tnffer reverses and need the adjusted compensation payment. In case of death the certificate becomes immel diately payable to the beneficiary. o WARNINGS ISSUED BY POSTMASTER (CONTINUED I-HIIM I'AtK ONE) ing wiapping, states that all articles . i must be securely wrapped and long . articles such as canes, umbrellas and the like should be reinforced with wood.

making the Braves a winning ball club is quite another matter. Tils Speaker was c nsid >red for that Boston job. So was Ty Cobb. So Were the Killifer boys. Slattei y got the job because he know the local situation, because he had been close enough to Boston liasaball to know Ihe strength and weakness of the members cf the club, and particularly because Hub fans wanted a Bostonian In charge. Mention c.f Speaker and Cobh Inevitably recalls the scandals ofGasf winter, and their sequel, which brought Tris .and Ty lucrative jobs sot a season. Tris and Ty cashed In upon theftreputations, Iki<| anti good. But the end of the season found their now bosses quite toady to call it quits. Speaker and Cobb as hero-martyrs of the stove league scandals were popular figures and worth big dough. As themselves, a couple of gray-haired stiff-kneed, middle-aged men, they did n .t assay so very high. The biggest figure baseball over has known is that of George Herman Rtt’h. He is easily worth $500,000 on the hoof and has brought many times that sum in the coffers of the baseball magnates. But wait a year cr so. until Balm's legs stiffen up on him. or the last stray hotdog goes mad ami urns an.l bites him. and se how long Ruth stays on anyone's pay-roll.
