About Diamond Stars Chas. S Dooin <4 Mi , HARLIE DOOIN has certainly had his full share of ups and downs since he assumed the management of the Phila- delphia National League outfit; but, though hard luck and desertions from his team have caused him a lot of trouble this season, he still retains all of the ‘‘old pep” which made him conspicuous during his more active days when he caught reg- ularly and the same good-natured way of handling his men that marked his early career as a ‘‘boss."’ A yarn is told concerning the method which Dooin used to make a promising recruit stop trying to be a grandstand player and become a regular performer like his fellows, working under the motto, “All for One and One for All.’’ One day, when the opposition had two men on bases, the twirler gave the signal for the out- fielders to drop back.

Adjusting the instru- ment to his eye, the farmer walked round and round the yard gazing at the sky, fell into a cistern and was drowned. At the funeral the children were in tears, but the widow retained her composure. ***Ma,’ said one of the daughters, ‘don't you think it was awful the way pa died?’ “Seems to me,’ was the reply, ‘if your father had been looking at things closer to home, he'd be alive now.’"* The recruit caught on, and thereafter let the other eight men on the team do their share of the work.
