Work Of Team Manager.

Very few fans realize the trouble
and work to which managers are sub
jected, and in many instances these
team leaders are blamed unjustly for
the poor performances OF their players.
The successful managers Of the pres
ent day, Chance, Clarke and Jennings.
are backed up BY such great players
as Evers, Tinker, sheckard. Brown,
Reulbach. Wagner. Leach. Gibson.
Camnitx, Miller, Cobb. Bush, Sum
mers, Donovan. Mullin and others, but
II deprived OF some OF these stars
they would soon demonstrate the fact
that a manager without high class tai.
emit cannot win q pennant

Harry Smith, head keeper Of the
Boston dovecote, is so quiet the men
who wear Boston uniforms hardly
know they have a manager. That is.
he is quiet compared with the ebul-
lient type that shrieks upon the base
lines, tears up the sod and initiates a
dog with hydrophobia attacking the
umpire. Also, Harry Smith is the quiz
etest and most peaceable Of the nu-
merous Smith family that has ever
butted into baseball. There was
Broadway Aleck Smith, who was car
ried on the New York Giants pay roll
to put down bets for McGraw until he
was ruled of the turf; there is Frank
Smith, challenger of Jeffries and ex-
pert piano hustler, who Is now the
premier pitcher for the sox, and lot
of other Smiths, but Harry Smith has
the big Job Of the baseball Smiths.
He is manager of a national league
club and hardly anybody knows any
thing about 1t. .:.
Smith is a catcher by trade and he
has quietly slipped into the manage
rial berth. Also he Is the only Eng
lishman occupying an executive posi-
ton in baseball and he has decided
Johnny Bull frills on his converse
ton. He played with Pittsburg for q
time and then was shifted to Boston.
English experts are IN demand to
save sports around Boston and AIRY
Smith may be just the man to train
the Doves for more ambitious flights
than they have yet taken, for they
are flying pretty close to the ground,
where they are easy prey.
Smith has gone about his work in
the right way. He does not claim to
have a championship team. He does
not declare himself a candidate for
first division honors, but he does say
that from now on the Boston team Is
going to play a good article Of ball
as good as the men have in them. He
also says in his quiet British way that
there are to be no further ructions of
a personal nature in the club. Frank
Bowerman attended the McGraw
school Of baseball too long to be IT.
ted as manager for anything so gentle
as q flock Of Doves. j
Smith had to quiet factional feel
ings and Bullhead Dahlen and he
seems to have soothed him all right.
He is going along nicely SO far as his
material will permit him.

WHEN HITTING WAS COMMON
Clark Griffith Recalls Days OF "Swat'
fests"-Remarkable Feat Of
Ed DeIehanty.

Clark Griffith, manager of the Gin
einnati Reds, was talking about home
runs the other day. Griff recalled the
afternoon in Chicago, 10 years ago.
when Ed Delehanty made four cir
cult drives in one game. Il was with
the Windy City team then, but didn't
pitch that game. Adonis Bill Terry
did the boxwork, and Del. besides
making four four-baggers, got single.
Still the Phiilies couldn't win that
contest, the score of which. think,
was 9 to Z in our favor. Bill Bradley
Of the Maps, who played in Chicago
when I was there, made great
record in Philadelphia in 1902, slam
ming out four-baggers in each of four
successive games. remember that
season pitching q game in Washing
ton and getting hit for three home
runs and one double in one inning.
Delehanty, Bill Coughlin and Scoops
Carey made the four-baggers and
Wyatt Arnold Lee the double. Then
l took myself out in favor of Virgil
Garvin. During the same season. If
! am not mistaken, Jack Harper got
landed on for three home runs in one
inning, all in succession. and all made
on the first ball pitched. Each drive,
moreover, went into the left field
bleachers. The chaps who made them
were Lajoie, Hickman and Bradley.

Few BASEBALL PLAYERS
QUIT GAME VOLUNTARILY
When They Do Sever Connection with
Popular Sport In Their Prime
There 10 Always q Reason.

The lure of the diamond is so strong
that few, very few, professional base
ball players have retired from the
game as Fielder Jones did, In the hey
dey Of his career. Jones, who was
the captain and manager of the Chi
cago Americans and onece led them to
victory in q worlds series after win
ming the pennant IN his own league,
made a complete remuneration of the
game.
With Jones 1t was purely q matter
of business. He had interests in Ore
gon which demanded his personal at
tention. Much as he loved the ma
tional game and strong as was the
hold on him. he was firm in his inten-
ton to say good-by to the diamond. =
l. John Ward was another Of the few
who gave up baseball when he was
on the top wave. He was manager
and captain of the New Yerks when
they won the Temple cup In 1895 and
could have served several years more
of usefulness both as manager and
player: He was playing we'll at
second base when he retired and was
as skillfui as ever with the bat, but
he had made up his mind that 1t was
time to get to his law practice, and
nothing could induce him to stay In
the game.
Big Bill LANCE. who, when he was
with the Chicago Nationals few sea.
sons ago, was fine batter; a fine feld-
er and fine base. runner. LANCE was
head and shoulders above the general
run of ball players. He was so good
a player that 1t was q pity that pro.
fessional baseball had to lose him.
He married a California girl, went
into business, and has not played ball
since. He, too, was in his prime as a
player when he stepped down and
out. ]. So ..e..-
Danny Richardson, the former
Giant; Dave Fultz Of the New York
Americans; Billy Lauder, last with
the New York Nationals, and Jimmy
Callahan Of the Chicago White Sox
are four more players who gave up
the game when they were at the top
Of their ability. ~ \ :.-=
Mike Griffin was as good as ever
when he terminated his connection
with professional baseball. The
Brooklyn, sold him to the st. Louis
club without his consent He said
he'd quit rather than 60 to st. Louis

SPIT BALL DIFFERS FROM
ALL THE OTHER CURVES
Elusive Saliva Twill Regarded az DIT.
fleuIt to Control, as It Makes
Sudden Break. ~" 4.

The spit ball is absolutely different
from any other form of curve ball
ever thrown. 1t is the result of an en-
tirely different principle.
All boys who have played ba know
that the ordinary curve is thro' by
grasping the bail tightly, and then
spinning it off the end Of the fingers
the same principle as putting Eng
lish" on a billiard ball The ordinary
curve ball, therefore, always gets the
twist as it leaves the tips OF the I'M
gers, after having been released by the
thumb.
The spit ball is Just the reverse Of
this. A spot on the ball about the size
of silver dollar is moistened with
saliva. This spot is made so lubricant
that the fingers. when placed upon It,
slip OIL without the least friction. The
tips of the first two fingers are placed
upon the moist spot, and the thumb on
the opposite side Of the ball, and be-
meath. The ball is thrown with all the
+ strength the arm can give it. The
fingers, instead OF gripping, slip OF.
and the ball takes peculiar wabbling
movement from the thumb. which It
leaves last. r. %s.sg 6
> The spit bali is naturally very hard
to control, as it is difficult to regulate
its direction with the point of the
thumb. When the ball comes up to
the plate it makes sudden ''break"
and win drop either to one side or the
other. The pitcher himself can not al,
ways tell which way it is going to
break" ..J'T5t. T." @>&@..s ri :
For a while the pitchers had great
difficulty in getting up speed on the
spit ball, but now they can throw 1t
almost as swiftly as the ordinary
curve ~%>. y H., ...s4,,.

team, looks to be in splendid condition

age the Boston Nationals next sea-
son.
The use Of the spitball is being de-
cried all along the line Just now. The
fact that the most effective major
league pitchers, including Mathewson.
Wiltse, Brown, Reubach, Camnitz.
Summers, Mullin, Bender. Plank,
Smith of the White Sox, Scott and
Others, do not use the splitter is
pointed to as a reason why 1t is IN
necessary. There may be some anti
spitball legislation by the big leagues
before next year.
Fl The Brooklyn club has figured in
many rumors concerning the engage
ment of a new manager, but at last
there seems to be ground for the be-
lief that John CAMEL, now success
fully handling the Rochester Eastern
league team, will be secured by Presi-
