Personal and ILocal Mention LiOc Stocft Farmer a larger attendance. G. M. Shain has been hauling out furniture this week to furnish his new house with, which is the transportation department, where a superintendent has a small army, or even a dozen or so men under him, the successful handling of all them is one of the hardest problems that he has to solve. There is nothing hardly that will bring out the true spirit of a man less there were no cold feet in the crowd, and after picking up a few faithful boys, the team went down and tackled an aggregation that 'was loaded for them.

Bucklin of course can't play ball, but they know where to find men that can. Only four of Bucklin's riatie sons were in the diamond, the remainder of the aggregation being blackballed league men, or imported from other towns. But aside from all this, it was one of the best games that has been played in the western half of Kansas this season. Parish and Burrell, the home battery, never were in better condition and played fast ball, but their support was weak. Harry Mc-McCarter had one of those mishaps that come to all who follow the diamond.

A fly was 'sent in his direction and muffed by him, but he afterwards redeemed himself by putting three balls across to first base in time to catch his men. Otto Faulker, right field, made one good play, and then stood still and let a fly drop within ten feet of him a very inexcuseable error. Harry Arnold, short, also' let two grounders through and the batters went to first. Bigley knocked a long liner out over first base in the ninth inning, and Charley Boedecker caught in one hand, a grand stand play. Boedecker says himself that it was the worst scratch he ever made.

in fact he never does anything in a ball game but scratch. One of the cheap things about the game was Manager Fannon of the Bucklin team. A man that pretends to be a sport, as the doctor does, should at least have respect enough for himself not to act the baby on occasions like Monday. The game was exceptionally free from bad decisions and umpires being very fair in their decisions and rulings. At the close of the game score by innings stood as follows: BiHklin 0 0 10 1111 5 l'ubli-lied Every Thursday at Dodee City, Kansas.

The local manager, Jim Cord, immediately called a conference of the boys, and while hasty, it was decided to accept the challenge. Monday morning it was found that our team was weak in three of its most important positions. Bert Eattinger, third baseman, was absent, being called out Sunday evening on his run west; Will Maddox, short stop, was also out on the road, and one of our best men, Kilbonrne, was absent on a visit to his parents in Nebraska.

Also Huddle, catcher, was laid up with a broken flnser. Neverthe more than the handling of a large numnpr nr RKinea ana unsKiiicu. men. All phases of conditions haveto be considered dispositions, ability, ambitions, physical strength, etc. Too often it has been the case that a superintendent did not make a success of his place because he failed in handling his men for which he is largely, if not entirely, to blame.

It is true that not no two employes are alike, which fact is the very reason that the superintendent should take personal interest in each one and study him thoroughly. Because a man is superior in rank of service with the company is no reason why he should not associate himself in spirit with his subordinates, Though he outranks them in position, yet a cultivation of personal interests and confidence shnuld be hisdesire. A pitnaifinf anAnf mAirn 1 1 mf flr ouiciiuiicuucuii uciouuany in wo ested in the welfare of his employes awakens a reciprocal feeling which naturally means greater interest and enthusiasm in the work. A foreman of a railway shop once found out that one of his men could neither read nor write, and to. him personally and encouraged him to take up studies at home.

The mechanic did so, and in two years time became a fair scholar, a better mechanic, and more faithful employe. Not only was he a more serviceable man on account of his educational qualifications, but also for the personal iuterest his superiorhad manifested in him. An official can exert a personal magnetism over his employes that means untold good for him, for them and for their company, if he only will. Knowing how to handle men successtully is as much ot a necessity in a railway office as knowing how work should be done. All railway men, from the general manager on down, are fellow employes and should be treated as such, ann each man's relative position should be respected.

A good superintendent can keep good men and produce good results, -all of which are essential in. railway service. Ffchtfor Ten Million 'Dollars of Public Money.
