'These managers have a pretty soft there on the bench and watch the ball games, and pull down about $5O00 for do- ing it." l once heard a fan remark, as he was passing out of the ball field. Lit tie did he know how far from the mark his words were If there's one job above another in baseball that requires an un- limited amount of real hard work, that of manager is the one. The players have to work hard during the season, but with the close of the championship games their labors end, and they don't have to worry again for some four or five months. But the poor manager, alas, never can stop worrying. His labors commence on the first day of January, and end on the last day of December. It's a case of go, go, go, all the time with him.
 During the playing season, though the Lord knows he has enough on his mind, he really has the easiest time. Once a team gets going he is sure of his players, at least. Of course, they do not always come up to the mark, and it is up to him to wake up and get hold of some more, but when the season is on this is generally no very difficult thing to do. To be sure, he can't land champions during this time, but this fact is generally accepted as something that cannot be helped, and he is not knocked because of it.
 In the winter, though, it's up to him to get busy, and sign up some real Al

10 S7OR1 OF THE 7ROUBLES OF THE MANAGER


the poor diplomat sleep the more soundly.
 Time was when the manager had all the work of getting railroad tickets, fixing things up with hotel managers and all sorts of little knick knacks. But in major league ball this at least is taken off his shoulders though the bosses in the bush leagues still have to do it in many cases. Speaking of minor leagues calls to mind the fact that here is where the managers nave a whole lot of real trouble. The players, who are really only try-outs, have the idea that they are all sorts of wonders, and their services worth a small fortune They resort to every kind of d scheme to do the management. They see to 1t when at home that they are paid every day for three first-class meals, sleep during the morning so that they will not have to have breakfast, and then go off to some cheap place where they satisfy themselves for l5 or 20 cents. When the club pays for the hotel bills, though, there is a remarkable change. They get their three meals every day, and put away so much food that the hotel owners are un- willing to cater to their trade.
 The care of the young fellows is another of the burdens of the leader. He has to see to it that they do not lose heart, be- cause, perhaps, they may slip up on their first appearance. When they do make good, they have to be restrained lest they become imbued with the idea that the league could not get along without them. Then, again. they are liable to incur the anger and jealousy of some of the older members of the team. It is but natural that a veteran should feel little sore when he sees himself being shut out by some newcomer. Perhaps several of his companions will feel the same way, and then if the crowd is not handled with kid

performers. He has to go running around the country, investigating the record Of this or that budding world beater" and if he thinks the youngster can come to time he must secure him for his club, despite the fact that six or seven other fellows are after him, or be voted dead one If he is lucky enough to get hold of some minor league star, and the fel- low happens to lose his nerve and prove useless, then the unfortunate manager s judgment is called into question: Thus, you see, he is always on the horns of a dilemma. If he doesn't sign the player he's after, he gets knocked, and if he does and him. and he is not up to the mark, which is the case 99 times out of 100, he is in for some more knocks.
 In the off season, too, the old players have to be swung into line. If the pre- vious season has been a good one, here $ another bunch of trouble Every member of the team will be firmly of the opinion that it was his own particular playing that was accountable for most of the vic tories of the past, and consequently he will inform the boss that, if his services are desired again, he must be given an ap- preciable raise in salary. The fact that he is already getting fully as much as he is worth seems to have no bearing at all on the matter. Then the manager has to get busy, and talk the recaleitrant one
 into seeing things in a little different light. It will take perhaps a month or so to do this, and you can imagine that the situation is not very likely to make

Memorial Day Sports.

Many and varied contests in all classes of outdoor games will be held on Memorial Day in practically every city throughout the United States. Decoration Day events in New York city include the spring regatta on the Harlem river in which rowing clubs from Philadelphia, Baltimore and other cities will contend a Marathon at Brighton Beach, and the spring games of the Irish American Athletic club at Celtic park. Gus Bender, the Cal ifornia runner. who has been hailed as a second St. Yves, will run In the Brighton Marathon, as will Red Hawk, an Indian, another newcomer in the metropolitan section.
 The Harvard and Cornell eights will race on Cayuga lake at Ithaca.
 Horse racing in the east will shift from Belmont park this week to the Brooklyn Jockey club course at Graves end. On Thursday. the opening day. the Brooklyn handicap will be de- cided. The stake, though reduced from s2O,000 to s5000 will attract fine field of thoroughbreds. James R.. Keenes colt, Celt, probably will be the favorite.
 On Saturday the yachting world will turn It's attention to motor boats and sailing yachts with the start of the New York to Bermuda ocean contests.

gloves dissension will spring up and the teams prospects be ruined. Invariably when there is feeling" to use the popu- lar phrase, between the players on team the manager is called to account for it. and is handed his blue envelope. And it 5 no easy matter to talk to couple of dis gruntled ball players, and try to make them look on the bright side of things.
 Then there's all the difference in the world between managing a leader and a loser. The head of the latter team re- minds me of nothing so much as the pro- moter of new theatrical combine. He has to buck up against strong combina- tions, who have all the real stars under contract for life. It's up to him to find some new calcium attractors, develop them and place them before a hyper critical public. This is likely to take years of effort, and enormous sums of money. One failure is likely to stamp a man as out of his field, and it takes super-human work to win back the re- spect and confidence of the populace, which must be had, if success is u be attained When finally couple of stars are landed the big fellows get after them, and as in a majority of cases the under dog is short of money and anxious to reap little financial profit. the own CTS are likely to let the big one go and trust to luck that something just as good can be found
 There's a whole lot more could be said about the trials of a manager, but l don't want to be set down as a pessimist. l think, however, that If my friend of the bleachers reads these few remarks he is liable to change his views about the easy time of it the manager of baseball team has.

CROSS COUNTRY AUTOMOBILE EVENT
 BEGINS TUESDAY

New York, May 30.-Under the auspices of the Seattle Automobile club of tho Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition which is to open it's gates on June l. 10 high-pow- cred automobiles of American manufae- ture will leave New York Tuesday on a 40OO-mile transeontinental speed and en- durance contest which has the exposi- ton city as its final goal.
 The start Is to be made at o'clock in the afternoon from in front of the city hall. with Mayor Mcclellan officiating as starter. A special wire connecting the White House at Washington with a spe- cial stand on the steps of the New York municipal building will transmit the word to start from President Taft to Mayor Mcclellan. The same button which the President will press to throw the Seattle exposition open will tick the hour of the start of the ocean-to-ocean contest
 The race promises to be a huge success in point of general public interest In or der to guard against violation of the speed laws of the various states through which the contestants will pass the Auto mobile Club of America, under whose sanction the run will be held has ar ranged to have one of its representatives act as pacemaker between New York and Kansas City. Beyond Kansas City there Will be no restrictions as to speed and the contestants may roll off the miles at top notch. Until that point Is reached. however, no car will be permitted to pass the pacemaking car. In the event of any mishap to the pilot oar the pacemaker Will transfer his flag to the first car arriving at the point where he has been halted and continue to the next checking station, where new pacemaking car will be provided
 The cars entered for the contest are Stearns, Smplev, a Welch, an Acme a Shawmut, Garford, two Fords and two Buicks. Although the race is open to foreign entries, it is doubtful if any but American cars will participate. There is, however, some question of a Renault a Benz and an Isotta starting. Other eleventh hour entries may be made of q Thomas, Franklin and a Matheson.
 The prizes offered for the contest consist of a 5000 trophy given by Mir Robert Guggenheim and s2000 cash prize for the first car reaching Seattle

 conclusion of the first as is possible in consideration of the law and regulation covering such points.
 l am inclined to believe that Manager Molesworth will open with Fleharty and conclude with Dickson. It seems that this should prove a winning combination. Fle- harty is going finely at the present time and the team that beats him will have to hustle. Then he Is so big and husky that, in case he goes well in the first, he may be given the privilege of winning the second, too, without endangering physioue which has successfully withstood more serious strains. On the other hand, in case FIeharty goes badly. then there is Dickson to fall back on, and the Barons will be practically assured of an even break even though the first goes into the shirtwast box of Sir Michael.
 The Barons have an excellent opportun- ity this afternoon to cop both ends of the bargain day frolic. In the first place Fleharty and Dickson are both going fine ". and the Barons are right now play ing bali as they have never played fe- fore In the second place the Travellers, after playing a nerve-racking game satur- day afternoon, took sleeper at 10 o'clock, rode to New Orleans, played another hard game. took sleeper again for Birmingham and will not arrive before o'clock this morning.
 The Travellers should be a little the worse for tear and wear, and if the Bar ons play their usual good game the chances are they will be returned vic- tors.

Strike out-Hone Run.

Fort Worth, Tex, May 30.-For probably the first time in the history of baseball a player here today made home run on a strike out. The man who did 1t was Onslow of Dallas. He struck at the last ball. 1t hit the home plate, bounced up on the grand stand and stuck in the gut ter. It's there yet. Everybody yelled and Onslew fearing the Fort Worth pitcher and catcher. who got busy with sticks. would disodge it. made record trip around the bases.

Terrible mystery here:

What happened to bill Smiths face? The classic countenance of the dandy little manager looks as though 1t had been run through meat chopper Large gobs of cuticle have been removed in various pe- culiar cross patterns.
 Bills explanation is that he fell out of his berth in sleeping car. Now, back in the days before Bill learned to ride in anything but day coach, such a thing might>have happened. but we go on record as believing that it was mighty rough go- ing that threw Bill Smith out of his berth sand he must have landed hard, for Will liam usually chooses to ride in a flower.

 for $150O, but Bill Smith wisely refrained
 from putting up that much coin. He was
 not offered to Birmingham at all Mem phis anxiously awaited his return. But he went to Montreal in part payment for Catcher Clarke. But Robinson did not figure in that deal, and Birmingham will
 recover him after all, it is possible. I hereby make the prediction that Bir- mingham will be leading the second di- vision before Sunday morning. I figure that we will get our share of the honors this afternoon and that Mobile will not. also figure that Birmingham will handle Mobile, who comes tomorrow, more se- verely than Montgomery handles Little Rock.
