BASEBALL MANAGER is
SURE-ENOuGH "G0AT"
Statement Proven by Fact that 81
Men Have Had Charge of IS Big
League Teams In Six Years.

1t Is customary to bemoan the mu
tations Of baseball life, particularly
In the major leagues, as manifested
In the constant team changes and the
incessant coming and going Of ball
players. It is also habit to bewail
the hardships Of the umpires' voca
tion.. And vet players and umpirea
have pleasant lot and copper.riveted
cinch compared with the average
team manager who is sure-enough
goat" OF the baseball world. In proof
OF this we have only to cite the start
ling fact that within the comparative
ly short space of six years no less
than 81 men have held the managerial
reins in the 16 clubs comprising the
National and American leagues. In
tact, during the six years from 1902 to
1909 but four managers have held
their positions continuously. The
managers since 1903 follow:
NATIONAL LEAGUE.
St Louis-Patsy Donovan Galley Mich
ols Jimmy Burke J. McCloskey
Boston-Al Buckenberger, Fred Tenny.
SOc hSllSy.
cincinnau-Jos Kelley. Ned Hanlon.
John CANCEL.
Philadeiphia-Charley thinner, Hughey
Duffy, Billy Murray.
Chicago-Frank Selee, Frank Chance
Brooklyn-Ned Hanlon, Patsy Donovan.
New York-John J. McGraw.
Pittsburg-Fred Clarke
AMERICAN LEAGUE.
Boston-Jimmy Collins, Chick Stahl,
Bob Unglaub, John I. Taylor. George
HUFF, Jim MCGUIRE, Fred Lake
Detroit-Ed. Barrows, William Armour,
Hughey Jennings.
Chicago - Jimmy Callahan, Fielder
Jones, Billy Sullivan
Washington--Tom Lotus, Patsy Dono-
van. Jake Stahl, Joe Cantillon.
New York-C1ark Griffith, Norman Ell
berfeld. George stallinss.
Cisveland-Wiiliam Armour, Map La
tote, Jim Mcclure
st. Louis-Jimmy McAlssr.
Philadelphia-Connie Mack.
These wholesale managerial changes
in the major leagues bear testimony
to the fact that not even the umpirs's
burdens are as heavy or as onerous an
those Of the manager OF ball team,
and particularly Of losing teams-for
the reason that an umpire has some
hours of rest or seclusion, while the
manager is not out of the public eye,
or the range of censure, even for an
instant before, during or after the
race.

Probably the one great, great reason
why the number of stolen bases be.
comes less every year lies in the fact
that in order to steal bases the run
ner must first get on.
In the days when it was nothing to
steal so or more bases the feat was
usually accomplished by men who
never hit under 800 and who often
elouted the sphere at a $50 or .37s
clip.
Naturally these men, hitting at that
pace, reached first quite few times
during the season, and this gave them
a great advantage over the players Of
to-day.
When a man has q tough time hit
