McClosky's Sad Fate.
Manager McClosky of the St. Louis Ma
lions. who. by the way. has gained much
fame this year by issuing a signed state
ment that he didn't expect to win the PEN
nant. Is one of the peculiar characters OF
the diamond. 1t has been McClosky's mis-
fortune to manage more tail-end teams
than any other man in the game. Per
haps there was method in his madness
when he announced that he didn't expect
to win. McClosky delights in cussing, and
It's great treat to listen to the CONVEX
sation he holds with himself He has a
habit OF moving from one end of the bench
to the other when an opposing team starts
to pile up bunch of runs. Thus 1t can
be easily seen how McClosky leads the
league in wearing out trousers.
In order to tell the score of a game in
which the st. Louis Browns are playing

McAleers hat and the position of his feet.

gives his commands in an authoritative
way and they are always needed. He
watches the play from the bench. and dur
ing an exciting inning his face is study.
"Muggsy' McGraw is of the few
managers In his big league whose motto
is. win, matter how it's done" Nc
Graw relies mainly on his bulldozing tao

lost prestige he must win the pennant in
the National League this year, and the
odds are all against him.
In victory or defeat Chance always looks
happy. but the size of the smile is the
very best indication of the result If II

is just a sickly smile, then something
has happened.
Billy Murray. the new manager of the
Phillies. who was with Jersey City last
year, is much after the style of Connie
Mack. He Is Of quiet disposition. has but
little to say, and rather sad face. that Is

ray, however. always has something to

score card. and by referring thereto 1t will
b, quickly seen who is who and what Is
what.
On the score card all the players names
will be placed and each given a number
corresponding to his place in the batting
order. For instance If the Nationals are
be number one. Number one will appear
on the score board. Perrine, who is second,
will be number two; Hickman. number
three, and SO on down the list. Now sup
pose substitute is put in to bat and
number eleven appears on the score board.
The spectator turns to the score card
and finds that number eleven is Ganley. Or
suppose number fourteen appears. the spec
tator will find on examining the score card
that Blankenship Is the substitute batter.
To keep informed as to what Is taking
place at all stages Of the game, a score
card will be necessary to the spectator, be-
cause the numbers as they appear on the
electric score board will correspond to the
numbers on the score card. The score
board will assist one in keeping correct
score card and unless one keeps correct
score card he does not perfectly see the
game.
The board will be placed out in center
field and will be worked by wires running
into the grandstand, the operator sitting
directly behind the umpire and screen. The
figures on the board will be about twice as
large as the ones used last year, so that
everybody will be able to make out what
is going on. The outfit Is quite compli-
Gated and expensive one, but 1t will be a
C.eat accommodation to the patrons.

BASE RUNNERS NOT
TO PASS EACH OTHER

One of the new rules adopted by the
major leagues at their recent meeting in
New York recalls one OF the most famous
plays in base ball history. The rule
ferred to is that which provides that. if one
base runner pass another in attempt to
score waile the other is being tagged"
out. the runner who passes shall be de-
Clared out.
II is calculated to prevent such stuats as
the world-renowned slide pulled of by the
great aud only Mike Kelly, when he was a
member of the Chicago team. This hap
pened In the last half of the ninth inning.
when the score stood l to 0 against Chi
cago Kelly was on first base and Ed
Williamson was on second. and Ansoa
knocked "A fly ball out into right held Al
the instant the fielder caught the ball both
Kelly and Williamson made dash for sec-
oud and third. The ball was simply return
ed to the second b1seman. but Kelly slid in
and beat Il by hair. When Kelly arose from
the ground and saw Bill Sunday al bat. he
grabbed his arm. and pretending To be
writing in agony. he signaled to the UNI
pire TO call time. Then he called to Ed
Williamson 10 come and pull his arm.
While I'd. was doing so. Kelly whispered to
him follows. Say, Ed, when the pitcher
throws the ball In. I'm going to start for
third. This will draw the ball down TO
catch me-, and then you make a dash for
the plate and I'll be right behind you. BY
the time you get near the plate the catcher
will be waiting for you with the ball. but
get YOU can to the plate, then
open your legs wide and | will try to slide
in" At the appointed time Kelly dashed
for third. The ball was shot down TO that
base. and then Ed. made for home, while
the third baseman sent the ball back to the
catcher. Kelly by this time had roundei
third and right behind Williamson, for
whom the catcher was waiting with out
stretched arms. When within a few feet of
the pate Williamson halted, suddenly
spread his legs wide apart. and the
catcher jumped forward TO tag Ed Kelly
slid betwaen Williamson's legs and had his
fingers on the plate before the catcher knew
what had happened. Chicago made another
run In the tenth inning, and this won the
name.

BALL PLAYERS WHO
SAVED THEIR MONEY
Stars of the Present Are Frugal
and Are Prepared for
Rainy Days.

Buck Ewing left an estate valued at $780,
400. But how many other ball players were
as fortunate? In the years Ewing was
prominent on the diamond-from 1880 to
1s95-professional ball players were not as
provident as they are now. Far from It.
There were some few who saved their
money. but the majority OF them were on
the happy go-lucky Mike Kelly order-who
only looked for what the next day would
bring forth, and they would take chances
on advance money rather than what their
salaries would produce for the exigencies
Of long, hard winter.
l have seen King Kel obtain a century
note from Uncle Bill Conant during one Of
the National League meetings at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, lay 1t on the bar and leave
It there until the barkeep would say mo
there was any change coming.
But there were few Kels in those days.
The game never produced any such prolific
s Ssa.s, as as the "Ten-Thousand-Dollar
Sullivan. They were. in fact, pals When
ever they met money flowed like water, and
the Juice Of the grape" gurgled down the
about town. Whoever had his belly up
against the bar" at the time was impartial
ly welcome. and offense would be taken
unless everybody gulped the f1zz.

ELECTRIC SCORE BOARD
HOW BASE BALL PATRONS NAY
KEEP TRACK OF THE GAMES.

The enthusiastic and stanch supporters
of the national game are slowly coming
into their own. The latest innovation to
be invented for their benefit Is the electric
score board, and the Washington man
agement, with its well-known enterprise
and energy, is one Of the first to secure
this great patent for the ediication of
the local patrons at. National Park. In
seasons past the out-of-town and local
games were posted, the former coming. of
course. by telegraph. while the latter de-
pended upon the youngster who handled
the figures away out in left field.
But with the introduction of the electric
board an entire revolution will be brought
about in the matter of information given
and also speed and accuracy The new
board, in addition to registering the out-of-
town games. will also give the local game
in detail. keeping the spectators informed
at all stages of the contest of just what Is
going on-that is, 1t records the balls,
strikes and outs. gives the number of the
batter, pitcher and catcher and umpire.
These numbers will be printed on the

FULL GAME WITH
ONLY TWO BALLS

1t is seldom that game in either of the
big leagues is played through with only
two balls, but that's just what happened
in a game between st. Louis and the Ath-
letics at st. Louis last summer The frst
ball put In play by Umpire Connolly lasted
seven innings, and the game might nave
heen for A funny accident In the seventh
inning a foul tip hit the wire netting that
protects the patrons Of the grand STANG "a
were in vain. and Connolly was forced 10
nut another ball In play. which lasted the
remaining two innings Of the game. This Is
a rather remarkable thing when 1t is con-
sidered that the st. Louis grand stand is
only a short distance back of the home
plate when compared to many of the other
grounds. Tommy Connolly says he believes
that two balls for big league game Is
pretty nearly a record. How happy the
magnates would be II all games could be
run through 90 cheaply.

CHARACTERISTICS OF
DIFFERENT MANAGERS

Few Of the fans who sit in the grand
stand and bleachers and enjoy a ball game
during hot summer afternoon realize how
the manager who occupies seat on the
bench feels and acts. It's great to be the
manager Of a winning team, but it's hard to
lima CINE anything worse than the leader of
taiI-end aggregation. II you happen to
be manager of team that wins the pen
nant the fans will insist that you're one Of
the wisest In the business. that you under
stand how to handle a bunch of players.
that 1t was your inside work that landed
the flag and that in general you're the whole
explosion.
On the other hand. il you happen to be
pilotyig the cellar champions you will be
told time and time again that you're a lob
ster and should be digging bitches. that
your place Is the tall bushes and green
grass and that you couldn't win pennant
IL your team was made up of Lajoies and
Wagners
The men who sit on the bench and guide
the destinies of the big league teams earn
all the money they are pulling down. The
manager has to direct the play. take the
abuse resulting from all the mistakes made
by the players explain every defeat and
do all the worrying for the entire bunch.
Every manager has his peculiarties. his SUI
perstitions and his hobbies. It's really in
teresting to watch how the various leaders
Of the American and National League
teams act during the progress of a game.
1t Is generally possible to tell just how the
game is going by watching their expressions
and actions.
Fielder Jones Serious
Take Fielder Jones of the Chicago White
Sox, for instance. the winner of the Ameri-
can League pennant and worlds champion
ship. During a game Jones is all the time
serious. He sees nothing funny. While in
the outfield he PAGES around in center like
a cage. lion. The umpires insist that
Jones has a path worn on every grounds
from center to the plate due to his coming
In to dispute all close decisions. Any time
a pitcher looks as IL he was about to go
up Jones Is on the spot offering his advice.
He remains on the bench very little during
the game.
In direct contrast to Fielder Jones is Con-
ME Mack of the Athletics. the winner of
the American League pennant of 1905. Mack
directs the play from the bench and Is al
ways attired in street clothes. He rarely
says anything and then only in the ordinary
tones. He Is the "fox' of the business
Mack has an unusually long face, and when
the game is going his way he always wears
one of those everlasting smiles When
things break against him his face seems
twice as long as usual. and that's going
some for Mack. He Is q good loser. how
ever, and takes defeat az gracefully as he
does victory.
