Well, there are many of them should have it. for there is no manager in the business who should not give intelligent baseball writers credit for aiding him in the mat This fact has occurred to me only re- gently. Several times thls season mem- bers of my team have accused me of tehing reporters where they were weak. It shows us up to the public they say, and puts us in the position of learning something that We should never have been compelled to tackle if it had not been for the newspaper notice We re- ceived on the subject. Now as you know, I've never beittled any of my players to the sporting writers, but when one of you boys come to me and tells me that such or such man has shown a weakness in certain line, l can't deny it. for the evidence is there Had I told this man about his weakness and given him points on how to correct it, he would probably have gone at it in a haf-hearted way and shown but little improvement, But the moment the news paper made it public and the baseball public got wise, the player in ques- tion hustled with all his might to cor rect his fault. In that way the news papers-that Is. those who handle base ball in an intelligent manner-are of great assistance to manager with a young team. Sporting News
