Deacon Jim. MCGUIRE after two dis
astrous weeks, resigned the managershiT
of the Cleveland American League clut

placed in temporary command and since
then has made what BToadwayites would
call a bowling hit
To-day Stovall is the Bresnahan oi
the American League. Never a sensa'
tional player himself, although above the
ordinary first basemen at that, he has
developed a lot of raw recruits into a
eorking good ball. team, and one that
caused a lot of trouble in the pennant
race before the season was completed.
When Stovall was put in charge Of the
Maps 1t was generally understood that
as soon as Harry Davis had finished
schooling young Stuffy McInnis in the
art of playing first base for the Athletics
Connie Mack would let the veteran go to
Cleveland to manage that club.
Stovall has given Cleveland the first
real team 1t has had since 1905, when they
finished fourth to Detroit, and were only
two games behind the leader at that.

and 1t has proved to be the right one.
Mcclure worked on the theory that Cleve-
land had a chance to win the pennant
and the Maps must win right from the
start. At any rate, he intended to try
Until the last man was out to win every
game, regardless OF the manipulation of
players he regarded necessary.
Working on that system he derricked
his young pitchers often. He removed
Shortstop Olson FROM the opening game
Of the season at a time when the Maps
were eight runs behind, sending in a
substitute batter for him when there were
two out and none on the bases. In fact,
he was constantly shifting his players,
apparently striving to hit what might
prove a winning combination.
Stovall, of course, had the success OF
the team Just as much at heart as Nc
Guire, but he believed that the desired
results could be secured by adopting a
somewhat different policy.
He recalled the fact that, with the ex-
ception of Falkenberg. Cleveland had to
depend upon young pitchers entirely: he
knew that he had an outfield which had
much to learn about fielding; he knew
that both of his catchers. although
''comebacks," were recruits; he knew that
he had an experimental shortstop.
Starts Slow, hut Ends Fast.
With such a situation, he felt that
Cleveland could not be expected to start
of the campaign like pennant winners.
He knew 1t must lose a lot of games
