Never in the history of the big
leagues have there been so many
changes in the management of the
teams as there have been since last
season, seven new pilots having been
signed by as many clubs since the
1910 season closed. 1t is no easy mat
ter to secure an expert team handler,
but the National and American club
owners believe they have cornered the
best in the profession.
Since last year three changes in the
managerial ranks Of the National
league-the engagement of bad Bill"
Dahlen by the Brooklyn club, the APP
pointment of Fred Lake by the Boston
club and the promotion Of Charles
Doom by the Philadelphia club. Dab
len has never handled a ball team, big
or little, before, but he has had a
world of experience on the field and is
an excellent judge of playing talent.
"Bad BilT' certainly knows what lin
side ball" means. He is conversant
with the methods employed by Arson,
Hanlon and McGraw, and he is a
fighter for his rights. He is not a task
master and is popular with all players,
but he will probably insist upon hard
work and will develop team play from
the very beginning.
Charley Doom, the new pilot of the
Philadelphia Nationals, is a star ball
player and we'll liked, but he is hot
headed and inclined to look for trou.
BILE with the umpires, a weakness in
these days of discipline on the dia.

Fred Lake has a problem to solve in
Boston. He made a name for himself
last season as manager Of the Boston
Americans, but because Of q difference
over salary he was released outright
by President John I. Taylor, who de.
clared that Lake was not the man who
