Player though he once was. and bless.

him sociable with all mankind, there
was never q baseball manager who 80
successfully combined the elements OF
good fellowship and dignifed leader
ship as does Hughie Jennings.
There is not player on Hughie
club who does not regard the manager
as his intimate frieud. Yet the ele
lnent OF familiarity IL SO universally
absent that the existence OF a certain
bar to 1t must be admitted by anyone
who has lived with the team Iona
enough to become familiar with IL
daily life.
Not one of Hughie's men would
hesitate a moment to consult the
manager In case Of trouble, wheth-
er caused by baseball or other
matters, even personal difficulties
coming within this scope. On the
other hand not one Of his men
would suggest to Hughie little
walk to discuss the matters.
HughIe takes his walks alone
and his men know It. Not the
most favored Of his newspaper
friends has ever accompanied him
on one Of his constltutionaIs.
The manager thinks out all his
difficulties, plans his campaigns
and confutes his enemies In ad-
vance on these walks and every
body on the club recognizes that
these must be solitary.
On the other hand when round
the hotel, In the lobby or on the
porch, any one Of Mis- players
would address him at whatever
length he cared He knows that
Huohe Is there for just such pur-
poses. II Is his office hour, as Il
were.
