BARD MANAGER CONFIDENT

O'Farrell Expects Young Players to Improve—Satisfied With Frisch. Bv NBA Service ST. LOUIS, Mo., Jan. 3.—Rohert O’Farrell, as the new manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, baseball champions, “is going to be one of the players.” O’Farrell not only is going to be "one of the players," but the is going to be the silent type manager. There is nothing explosive about Bob O’Farrell. He expressed his appreciation to President Breadon for the opportunity to advance in his profession; he communicated with Rogers Hornsby before he officially accepted terms. Speaks With Action O'Farrell is a complete contrast to Hornsby. Hornsby was one who used volumes of stinging words on his players in urging them on to the pennant. He cracked a stinging whip. O.’Farrell speaks with action more than words. "I am not going to bring in a bit of Hornsby's regime into the 1927 Cardinals,” says O’Farrell. “In fact, I am going to avoid the Hornsby situation as much as possible. Rog and I were good friends and we're going to remain good friends and the punch to my first with the players will be; JMrorget the past arid dig into flip present. We will not draw crowds In 1927 on the reputation of 1926. We must remain a contender to make it profitable for the owners. Youngsters Improve “Not that I desire to belittle Hornsby as a player or a manager, but it is my opinion that we will be better in 1927 than in 1926. Not through any managerial brilliance on my part but through the further seasoning of our young ball players. “Take juveniles like Flint Rhem, Taylor Douthit, Tommy Thevenow, Lester Bell and Chick Hafey. They’ll Improve next season. “I always have considered Frisch one of the game’s most brilliant stars. I am not discrediting Rog a bit. He will hit ’em higher and farther than Frankie but let me tell you Frankie is quite an asset at the plate—to bunt, to hit-and-run, to shoot a drive through infield. "Frisch waa one batter I could never solve. He didn't have a weakness. You just didn’t know what he was goIng to do. Needs Catcher “I am in the market for a catcher. I’m willing to do as much work as the manager os I did as the player when I caught 147 games, but if something happens 1 want to be prepared, “In case I am hurt 1 want a substitute just as capable as myself—and perhaps I'll find a better catch er than myself. Who knows?”-

—BASEBALL—(Continued from Page IP) charges, adding that Risberg "hasn’t told half of It.” Gandil, star firstbaseman on the old White Sox team and now manager of an outlaw ball club at Hurley, N. M-, said that it was he who collected $45 each from the White Sox players. Gandel and Felsch were blacklisted 1-n 1920, along with Risberg and four others. “I handled the money,” Gandil stated. “I took It from the Sox and gave It to Bill James (a Detroit pitcher), and he paid It over to the Detroit players. I didn’t regard it as bribe money. It was just a little presenl to the Detroit players." Felsch. at his home in Milwaukee, also “confirmed” the Risberg charges, saying that he contributed to the fund. “And the Swede can tell a lot more on Wednesday If he wants to," Felsch added. Gandil in his "confirmation” of Risberg’s charges said every member of the 1917 White Sox team knew about the “deal” and that everyone contributed to the jackpot giVen the Detroit club, except Buck Weaver, one of the game’s greatest thirdbasemen, who also was banned for complicity in the “Black Sox" scandal. "Is it true Weaver gave Oscar Vltt a handbag as Ills share In order not give monoy,’’ Gandlll was asked? "I don’t know anything about that. All I know Is that Buck didn’t have a share In the ‘pot.’ If he says he gave Oscar a handbag, it must be true." In admlting his having paid the Detroit club the money taken up by the White Sox, Chick Gandil stated that he did nc, believe Ty Cobb knew anything about the affair. “Cobb is In trouble now, and I don’t want to see his name Involved in this,” he said. "He had no hand in it. I handled the matter for the Sox and I talked to Detroit players about It. I know that Cobb wasn't approached with the money." Gandil closed his statement with "Risberg knows plenty but he doesn’t know half as much as I do.”

BUILDER PRAISES LATHE SHINGLES

The American Construction Company. 1201 E. Georgia St., has de veloped a. new department, which handles roofing materials for various types of construction work, according to Eugene Foley, vice presi dent. “Our company has taken over the Barber Asphalt Latite shingle line,’’ he said, "and is satisfied it will become one of the most popular roof ing materials In the local field. “We believe that the Barber Asphalt Latito shingles will meet a real demand for a high-grade shingle. “These shingles are of extraheavy materials, well-known, and an interlocking device, a metal fastener, will prevent any from blowing or warping loose. Weather conditions will not affect the position of these shingles and users are assured of having their roofing problems solved from the start.” The shingles come In various shades, Including reds, green, blueblack and tapestry-tones. Early In the spring the company will undertake general construction work, a departure from Its activities which have covered principally public construction work for many years. Prospects for the coming year are good, Foley asserted. HOUSE KERN SPRAY Scale Insects that attack house ferns are repelled by frequent applications of a spray of common laundry soap, according to entomologists of the Oregon experiment station.
