The actions of ball players have
been covered a thousand and one
times, while little if anything has
been told about the antics of the
men who have charge of the play.
ers. -
At present there Is but one real
"bench" manager in the American
league. This Is Connie Mack of the
Athletics.
Mack directs from the bench. He
rarely says anything about baseball
to the opposing players. Because
of this reticence he has been nick
named the Sphinx" Of baseball.
He is the only man that has ever
been able to handle that eccentric
player, Waddell.
Mack had the RUDE in Milwaukee
and it was due to the big fellows
work that they finished second the
first year of the American league
Waddell's long suit, when he is
going as only he can go, is his
speed and fine curve. He became
dissatisfied and proceeded tot de.
velop slow ball.
After practicing he reached that
stage where he thought he had 1t
pat, and the next time he went in
the box would pitch nothing else.
The opposing players were so
surprised that for the first few in
nings they didn't hit hard; but as
soon as they saw this was all he
was going to pitch, they laid back
and commenced to murder every
ball he handed over
Mack implored Waddell to lock
the slow one in his grip for some
future time, but Rube insisted 1t
was all right, and cited the fact
that the opposition was not scor.

ers was heard to say:
Get out of there you big stiff
You've lost your arm"
Rube looked up in establishment
for the author of the remark and
failing to find him, picked up the
ball with determined look, as
much as to say: "I'll show you,'
and the way he whistled them
through the rest Of the afternoon
was caution.

yelled at the Rube or what Connie
whispered to the copper.


Hugh Jennings has demonstrated
beyond doubt that as leader he
is all to the merry.
When he took the reins in De-
troit, Jennings found dissension,
and his first duty was to smooth
the difficulties.
Jennings gives this as his for
mula for success on the field:
Ten per cent baseball ability,
10 per cent luck and 80 per cent
ginger fizz.
While it would hardly be fair to
the Tigers to say it was 80 per cent
ginger fizz that won the American
league pennant. it must be admitted
that it had good deal to do with
landing the bunting.
Hughie is the personification of
ginger" and this explains why the
rest seemed full Of the pepper.
The one thing you have to hand
1t to Hugh for is that he never ap-
peared to admit defeat, no matter
how many runs his club was be-
hind.
This was demonstrated in the
worlds series. In the last game,
when the Guys had the Tigers beat
en- two to nothing in the last in
ming, Hughie was still out on the
first base line coaching as though
they would still win the series.
He is always there with a good
word for his players and no matter
whether the play goes through it's
always a good boy" or never
mind, old fellow, well get them the
next inning"
He sent George Mullin to bat for
Eubanks in game last summer
along about the seventh inning
with the score 4 to 1 against De-
troit and at a time when the bases
were full and two were out.
George met one and away it sail
ed toward the left field fence. 1t
looked good for three bases and
would have meant a tie score.
The center fielder started in pur-
suit and while running at full speed
managed to pick the ball off the
fence with his gioved hand.
Jennings was at first base coach
ing and by the time the ball was
caught Mullin had reached the ini-
tial sack.
Although the catch saved at least
three runs and practically put the
Tigers out of the game, HuShie
clapped George on the shoulder and
said: Good try, George, cd boy"
and from the manner in which the
words were said one would have
thought he had made the hit that
won the game.

Of families huddled in the tene-
