Bob Unglaub may become a manager
Of the Lincoln, Neb., club of the Western
League. Word comes from Williamsport,
where Unglaub is wintering, to the effect
that the Nationals first baseman has
closed negotiations with the owners of the
Lincoln club. who have taken up the
matter OF securing Unglaub's release with
the owners of the local club.
If proper arrangements can be made
with McAleer there is no doubt that
Unglaub will be allowed to accept the
position. The Lincoln offer is the first
that has been made the Washington
club for Unglaub, and until this came
it seemed almost certain that McAleer
would take another look at Unglaub in
the south this spring. Now, however.
that is not likely. McAleer would not
stand in Bob's way to better his con-
dition, which he would undoubtedly do
If he secured the management Of the team
mentioned. 1t has ever been McAleer's
policy to help the players he is forced
to let out. He, could have sent Unglaub
wherever he pleased, but he allowed
him to pick his own club, and for that
reason 1t is not believed that there will
be any difficulty experienced by the
Lincoln club in securing his release.
Unglaub has had some managerial ex
perience. He was both captain and man.

Joe McGinnity, manager of the Newark
club of the Eastern League, is of the
opinion that the pitchers mound is
doomed and that hereafter the twirIcr
must be on level with the batter He is
quoted as saying:
THE present style of pitchers box is a
decided disadvantage to the batter
would like to see the pitchers put in
hole, as far as l am personally concern
ed. This style would give the underhand
twirlers chance to work better.
Base ball just now is one mans
game. manager gets good pitchers
and builds the team up around the fling
Gr. The idea is to get twirler in the
box who can keep the opposing team
from scoring many runs, and try to make
more off the man performing in the box
for the other fellows.
BY putting the box on level with the
rest of the diamond the twirlers-that is
most OF them-would find it harder to
fool the batters. Cnderhand twirlers
would like to see the box down as low
as possible, it. would help them i'll
their work.
The rules committee has gone the
wrong way about it in trying to increase
hitting. In moving the box farther away
from the plate the base ball rulers only
handicapped the sluggers. 1t would have
boen better III the pitcher had been
moved up nearer the batter. 1t is easily
figured out that a man standing at the
plate can hit it out when the pitcher is
nearer the plate.
Take. for instance. a few years ago
when the twirler stood only forty-five

ed for last "Wednesday night between
Carroll Institute and the Y. NJ. c. A. will
be played tomorrow night at the Carroll

COLLEGE AERONAUTICS.
Interest in Navigating Air Taking
Hold Among Students.

NEW HAVEN. Conn, January %
The growing interest in aerOnautics in
the colleges can be shown in no bet
ter way than by the work of the aero
clubs which have been formed. The in
crease in the number of men who are
taking part i'm the work of these clubs is
extraordinary. considering the fact that
the movement was started only last year.
The News has received letters from the
Harvard Aeronautical Society, the Cornell
Aero Club, the Michigan Aero Club and
the Chicago Aero Club. The report in
all cases is that the clubs are doing we'll.
with the sanction of the faculties and the
co-operation of the undergraduates.

While there seems to be but little doubt
in the minds of those patronizing the
American League that the Athletics will
repeat this year, and that the real fight
in this circuit will be for the other first
division berths. the indications are that
the National League will have a real
struggle for first honors In the coming
campaign
Strange to say. the team which won the
pennant last year handily enough is not
considered more than a possible contend
er. Perhaps it was because of the easy
manner in which the Athletics disposed
of the Cubs in the worlds series that
sent their stock down. but of the many
predictions which are made as to the
outcome of the race this year in the old
circuit, few, indeed, expect the Cubs to
come back.
On paper it looks as if the race would
be between New York and Cincinnati
with the former the favorite. Cincinnati
has made some wonderful changes In its
lineup and if things break right which
they must To be successful. ii would not
he at all surprising to see Clark Cr1f-
fifth land a flag this year.
The Reds had the speed last year, but
lacked good pitchers. Trades have been
made which appear to have strengthened
the pitching staff considerably, while the
infield. too. looks stronger and the out
field has in no way been weakened. Gin
cnnati. in fact. appears to have the best
team il has ever had since becoming a
member OF the National League.
Under present conditions the manager
OF the Botson american League team is
not TO be blamed should his team prove a
failure and he would be deserving OF
great credit should IL be winner. Aside
from directing plays on the field. Donovan
appears to have but little to do with his
players John /. Taylor arranges their
salaries and virtually runs the entire
proposition. 1t has ever been considered
policy for the manager of a team to be
placed In a position where he is the boss
over the players. For this reason many
OF them send out contracts and do all the
corresponding with the players. 1t puts
the manager in close touch with his men,
and this has always been cOnsA Tered adj
visable. But the Boston club Is not con-
Quoted along these lines. Taylor is the
boss and he does not hesitate TO let his
