lack O'C0nnOy
.we.~ a Failure ?

To-day the baseball public is fur
nished with a great object lesson
which, by the way, is invariably an an
nuai affsir--in the poor showing made
by "Rowdy" Jack O'Connor, manager
Of the st. Louis Browns. who Is use
lessly, II seems, endeavoring to lift the
club out of the ruck.
while am somewhat disheartened
with the showing of my team 80 far in
the race, l am by no means discour-
aged" said O'Connor when approached
on this subject, "and l will continue
to do my best, which Is the best any
man can do, to lift the team out of
last place"
4 Getting back to the object lesson:
Two years ago Jimmy McAleer, who Is
now managing the Washington Ameri-
cans, had the club in the race up to
the very last week. In getting the team
together the veteran player had made
some fine trades and his team was the
real sensation. Even this showing
failed to please the st. Louis critics,
and McAleer was abused for not win
ming the championship. and this un-
called-for daily abuse not only an
noyed the modest McAleer, but II fairly
disgusted the players.
John O'Connor, a native son veteran
and fine all ll-around man In the game,
was prevailed upon to take the place.
He seemed to be the choice of the st.
Louis critics In preference to McAleer.
He took the position to try and build
up team out OF few dissatisfied ball
players and q bunch of ordinary young
sters-no mean task, even with the
loyal support of the st. Louis press.
Had McAleer received credit for what
he really did the chances are he would
have remained In st. Louis and brought
the team into q fine position. As the
case now stands, O'Connor will soon be
riddled with hot shot from the critics
and fans; President Bob Hedges will
realize that he did McAleer injustice to
weaken on his faithful manager to
please the trouble makers, while Jim
mie McAleer will make new friends at
Washington and in time, develop q
winning bail team And the while
Jack O'Connor. bright baseball man.
Will have trouble to hold his job.
through no fault of his.
The best managers amount to very
little In the long run unless backed up
by the club owners even at a time
when public criticism is aimed at the
man In charge. In fact this is the time
magnates should encourage their man
ayers, and not continually take their
cues from the erratic fans and the crit
ic, without training for the business.
There is no class of people that
thrive on encouragement equal to the
baseball man, let him be player or
manager. and the one time he needs
announcement the most Is when the
cards are breaking poorly and he is
continually forced to call every hand.
Manager O'Connor. while willing to
discuss the poor showing of the
Browns, preferred to talk of himself
or, in fact anything that would deviate
from the conversation regarding the
slow work OF his boys. This Is what he
has to say of himself:
