BASEBALL MANAGERS
 AND THEIR TROUBLES

fore, Clark Griffith, who was Zen manager ef the 5e&-and won q pennant with thell, taG--Went after Jones. From the day that he hrSt
 appeared ill Chicago uniform, too Jones was a prime favorite with the
 Windy City fans, who swear by him today because of the memorable victory over the Cubs in the world s series.
 Clark Griffith, who will mana2e the New York Americans this year, has always been a close student Of the game ever since he first be- came a star pitcher for the Chi cago Nationals under Captain An ; son.
 While Jones and Griffith are both regarded as first class managers, there is another noted team leader, Cornelius McGillicuddy, or Connie i Mack, for short, who has been in charge of the Philadelphia Ameri- , cans eyer since they were first or ] eanized. Mack is an old ball play CT himself. But it was not until he : assumed charge of the Philadelphia , Athletics that he became really famous.
 Napoleon Lajoie, tie manager ot the Cleveland Americans, is con- sidered by many good judges the ! best ball player in the world, al though Hans Wagner of the Pitts 1 burgs is placed on the same plane ] by other critics. Lajoie has not as | yet shown any great managerial ability, for since he took hold of l the Clevelands two years ago the team, although looking powerful on paper, has been disappointment. l He will receive the largest salary, it is said. that will be paid to a 1 player-manage this year, the amount being more than $10,0o0. James McAleer, the manager of the St. Louis Americans, will be re- membered as the crack center field CT of the Clevelands of ten years ago, when Pat Tebeau held the reins
 Charley Stahl, a veteran player, will handle the Boston Americans, succeeding Jimmy Collins, the bril- liant third baseman, in this ca pacity. Stahl was developed by Frank Steele and has been playing in Boston for years.
 Hugh Jennings makes his first bow as major league manager with the Detroit Americans. He is we'll known as the former star shortstop of the old Baltimore champions and later as the crack first baseman of the Brooklyns when they won the pennant two years in succession under Hanlon' $ management.
 Joseph Cantillion, of the Wash ingtOn club, completes the list Ot American league managers. Like Jennings, he comes from a minor league, as he managed the Mill waukee team last year with great success. Cantillion, a little man, was once a player and afterward an umpire. He is hot headed, hard loser, yet is said to possess the faculty for preserving harmony in his team.
 National League Managers.
 There are some frst-class man. agers in the National league, too. By some John McGraw, of the New Yorks, is considered the best. AS with pride to two pennants and worlds championship won by a team of players that on paper, barring the famous Mathewson, did not look formidable when Muggsy first took hold of them.
 Frank Chance, who managed last years National league champions, the Chicago Cubs, is hailed as the "boss" in the Windy city. Chance is fine player, one of the best first basemen in the profession and a cool-headed leader. But beyond capable handling of the Cubs on the field the real credit for getting together the nucleus for champion team does not belong to him. Frank Selee was the man who built up the National league club in Chi cago, for Selee picked up kling. keulbach, Lundgren, Evers, Tinker, Slagle and Schulte, all great play CTS, who did much to bring the pen nant West last season.
 Ned Hanlon, the man who will ivy to huild m winner in Cincin-
