mn The Manager Speaks to the Press Jan. 1st: “I'm happy that the front office of the Mudhens had enough con- fidence in me to name me manager of the team. They have given me com- plete control, and as the first step in my effort to make the team worthy of its many loyal fans I am announcing the player-for-player trade of Kelly for Casey. Casey at first base will mean the difference between the top of the second division and the top of the whole league. In addition to this, a fine group of young pitchers are being sent up from our farm team to bolster that division of our ranks.” Mar. 15th: “Casey is playing like a million dollars. I think he'll hit at least .350 and that rookie pitcher, Hamdonny over there, acts as if he’s ready for the big time right now.” June 1st: “I'm sure that Casey's hit- ting is due for a sharp rise. He always was a poor early season batter, but watch him go when the weather gets hot. I'm optioning Hamdonny to our Keokuk farm team subject to a twenty-four hour recall. I figure he'll be better off where he can take his regular starting turn on the mound.” Aug. 31st: “Dr. Sicle advised Casey to X-Ray his teeth last week and the pictures show that an abscessed tooth has been the reason he is batting .235. The tooth has been pulled and within a week our many loyal fans will again see the old Casey out on the diamond.” Sept. 20th: “I must admit that the showing of the team disappointed me. Illness of our key men was the real reason for our finishing in last place. A jump of at least six places next sea- son will not surprise me in the least.” Dec. 31st: “All I can say is that I wish my successor, Jackson, luck. He'll certainly need it! There is far too much interference from the Mudhen front office. They traded Kelly, the best first sacker in the majors, without my knowl- edge or permission. And who did they give me to put on first? Casey! And as for pitchers! When I told them to use the money they got in the Kelly. Casey deal to get some decent pitching, they brought up Hamdonny, a kid who should have been playing bean-ball with the bloomer girls! I certainly wish Jack- son all the luck in the world!” —Git Burton. The Judge’s Crossword Puzzle No. 405 Submitted by J. J. Schneider, Brooklyn, N.Y. Horizontal 1.
