By HUTCH1Ns HAPGOOD.

In another article on the charm OF
baseball, recorded the ideas Of a
sculptor a sociologist, and an editor. The
latter, however, was interrupted in the
midst of his remarks. He had wound
up with a criticism of McGraw. whom
he found lacking in imagination and
constructive ability. Frank Chance and
Connie Mack are the two men who,
as managers, appeal most strongly to
the editors fancy Chance, just now,
is at least for the moment nervously
out of It, and so the editors great man
IS Mack.
Over and over again. he said, this
game shows us the truth, not generally
recognized, that any man who really
excels in anything is a highly organized
being-that he has some kind of great
intelligence and character. Mack is
really mastery on the mental side. He
is quiet, in the background, does not
try to regulate in detail the play of the
men, does not try TO force the game
through by constant aggressiveness, as
McGraw does, in a rather unlovely way.
He plans the game in a general way,
and then leaves the details to the men.
In that manner he allows the free de-
velOpment of their playing personality.
a great player, under Mack, has plenty
Of scope for his temperament He can
grow in his own way. and this is an i'm
portant factor in the making of really
interesting players. He tries to lead
men in the way nature intended, and
does not attempt to violate their per-
sonalities. so to speak, by making them
conform to what he thinks a ball player
ought to be.

"McGraw tried for several years, it is
