COACHING LOST ART,

Is coaching a lost art? Why is it
that baseball has developed no sue
cessors to Arlie Latham and other IA
nous coachers of the baseball DAYS
that are now only memories? Such
are the questions that are often asked.
Why? Because the umpire won't let
them. There is. many brainy man in
baseball today; who possesses sufficient
humor and gray matter to: make an en-
tertaining as we'll as competent coach
if he was mot handicapped by the man.
dates of the powers that be.
No; it is not the fault of the players.
1t is the system that conflicts and pre-
vents the coaching from being what it
was In the days gone by. 1t was but a
few years ago that few of the old
school of coachers-Burkett, O'Connor
and ethers-would. get out on the
coaching Lines and shower the oppos-
ing pitcher with abuse. It was to
knock out this evil, which really was
an evil. that caused Ban Johnson and

later Harry Pulliam to issue instruc-
lions to the umpires to eradicate all
noisy coaching from the game.
Consequently when the abuse and di-
rect attempts to rattle the opposing
players were obliterated from the
game the tomfoolery and humor were
also sent to the bench to warp and
rust.
A couple Of seasons ago Jimmy Jack
son was the Cleveland Americans most
popular coacher. When Jimmy was on
the lines there was always something
doing and the fans knew that game
was in progress, even though they
turned their attention from the dia-
mond. Jimmy did far more coaching
at home than abroad. When he first
joined the Maps one American league
umpire passed the word around:
watch out for Jackson. He is one Of
that old McGraw-Baltimor school of
coachers. He is fresh guy and should
be suppressed"
AS a result Jimmy was Shooed TO the
bench whenever he got fairly warmed
I'D. In Cleveland they did not molest
him very much, but when the team
was on the road he was chased from
the lines fully half the time.
In fact, the art of coaching has been
so discouraged that the players them
selves dislike to make any efforts along
that line. One player remarked last
fall: whats the use Of getting gay
on the lines? You only get chased and
perhaps put out of the game about the
time you get warmed up. The umpires
tie the '23' sign to us sometimes If we
but get one foot over the line"
Clarke Griffith enjoyed the reputa-
ton OF being one Of the best coachers
IN the business, and he was sent to the
bench nearly every time the New York
Americans played In Cleveland, and
his experience In other cities was about
the same, which goes to show how
much tha umpires do to really encour-
age clever coaching.
Outside OF Grimth the best coachers
IN the league In the eyes Of the public
were probably Monte Cross and Jack
OConnoC. Both Of these made noise
add injected ginger into the game.
Then there Is "Wild Biz Donovan,
with bis eternal kidding, and Noisy
Claude Rossman and Charley Kick
man. who can be heard half g mile.
Then there are the silent ones, who
conformn strictly with the wishes OF
the vnnplxes and do their work by mere
signals, seldom raising their voices so
as to be audible In the stands. These
are IRtoie, Fielder Jones, Addie JOSS,
Harry Davis, Jake Stahl and Harry
White. None Of these men exercise
their vocal cords to any extent, hUt
nevertheless they are known as shrewd
coachers and the style Of men to be de-
pended upon to station at third base,
where an old baseball head is needed.
But where coaching still thrives Is In
the minor leagues. To tell the truth,
"Derby Day" Clymer, the energetic
manager of the twice champions Of Co
lumbus, provides more amusement In
one game than all the big league coach
ers will In an entire season. Away
from home especially Clymer is a card,
and many q fan goes to the games Just
to see end hear Bill on the lines. But
should Clymer attempt any of his an
tics In either the National or American
hague he would be shut Up quickly.
