KNOCKING LAOIE'S
ABILITY TO MANAGE
Cleveland Sport Writer
Takes a Crack at Great
Player.

Here's a wall by a Cleveland news
paper man. Lee Heacock, Of the Cleve-
land News. and most sporting editors
think he has the right dope.
II Is time 10 be frank. The Maps lack
management.
This is not hasty judgment Heaven
knows that there has been time suffi-
Client in which 70 prove. When the cruX
comes, the Cleveland baseball team,
under the management of NJ. LaJoie,
fails 10 night ii out
That IS the sad part OF IL Cripples
are common on every team, but this
year the Maps have had few cripples-
Chicago and Detroit have suffered more
than we. But, without cripples what
soever. the Maps begin playing the
d0wnhiu variety Of baseball that pro-
hibits pennants.
Tis true. tbs true. but pity tbs ris
true. as Bill says. Great ball player
that he IS. NJ. Lajoie lacks that peculiar
something that means victory. He can
not guide the men under him to success
as a team, cannot arouse that enthusi-
ssm, that spirit OF homogencousness that
means winning games
Generalship Is a peculiar and unusual
quality. Few have it. and e. is seldom
CQdN one VINO IS a BoSu AeuIei-et-4b DI-
comes 4 general Of fOrcefulness- But
once having tasted the strong wine OF
command who would go back 10 the
Claret Of subOrdinancy until the vintage
Of power is exhausted2
So it Is in the case NJ LaJOie viii
be manager so long as he remains on
the Cleveland team. And so long az
ne is manager the Cleveland team VIII
not play pennanL ball.
II Is hard 70 realize that the pedestal
is crumOling under one Of our idols
but IL IS NJ LajOie. wonderful second
basenan. remarkable hitter, and q man
who throughout Is an honor 10 the
game. should not attempt 70 play and
manage too. But can We blame him if
after having ettained command. ne does
not turn over his authority 70 some one

Not Encourag-

The announcement that Frank Far
rell had indefinitely suspended Kid FL
berfeld for Indifferent playing with the
New York Americans brought 10 an
abrupt termination talk OF Washington
trading Patten for him, but there still
remains the strong probability that Pat
ten will go 20 New York on some other
terms If Elberfeld is not soon rein
stated.
Il wouldn't think of interfering with
the discipline OF another club said
Manager Cantillon. Of Washington. this
morning. IF the New York club
wanted to get rid of Elberfeld we would
be willing 10 talk business, but we won't
even think Of a dicker for the Kid as
long as he is under suspension. He is a
good ball player, and anybody would
want him, but not at the expense of ap-
pearing 10 create disaffection in a rival
club.

However, whether Hanlon is to blame

fact that he is sincere in everything he

OF youngsters is liable to turn out dur

the team is weak in the box.
II do not attribute their series Of de-
feats in the East 10 Hanlon. 1t is the
team Itself. While I believe that there
is a nucleus Of the best team that Gin
cinnau has ever had, yet the pitching
department is too weak for a really first
class team, and there are two other
positions that can be siren gthened.

Graham showed yesterday that he had
not lost mis- knack of catching runners
off first. His style is so deceptive and
his movement so quick that. when he
does get his victim, the runner does not
have time TO make a dash back TO first,
but must make the wild and almost
hopeless spring for the middle sack
