single year experience may enable hin
to get In the front rank next year.
The grave situation that therefore
faces the clubs that are going to make
changes of managers is plainly evil
dent Good managers cannot be picked
OF trees like cherries. They have to
ne porn leaders OF men and with per-
sonal characteristics that enable them
to stamp their personalities on their
teams, either In victory or defeat.
They must understand human nature
and there is more diversity of natures

raSeDaL players than possibly can be
found in the same number Of men in
any other walk of life.

club must be diplomatic He must

Evers Capable Player.
How many of the new managers that
are to be appointed have all these
traits Of versatility
Has Johnny Evers2
He is the man upon whom all Chi
cagO lovers Of baseball have their opin-
ions set and there are about as many
different opinions about his capa bill
ties, abilities and characteristics as
there are fans.
Johnny Evers is a most capable ball
player He is wise and shreWd; quick
TO see a point IN the game, rapid in
mental action TO take advantage of
any opportunity to gain a point and
knows baseball thoroughly.
He has been very erratic in tempera-
ment Of late, or since he met with
business reverse and figured in an
automobile accident a few years
ago when an intimate friend of his
was killed Those were shocks to his
naturally nervous constitution that for
a time threatened to stop permanently
his baseball career But he came
back last season as strong physically
as ever and never played better all
IN his life than he did in 1912
But the strain Of the hot struggle
in which the Cubs were constantly
forced to be, owing to the hot chase of
the Giants for first place, appeared at
times to disturb his mental equilibrium
TO such an extent that ne became al
most too rampant on the field, and
was frequently suspended when the
Cubs needed his valuable services the
most
Evers, though, was always so very
anxious TO win that before his troubles
he never allowed his excitabIe failings
to carry him dangerously far from the
rules laid down for the conduct Of
players.
This last season he did, as is a mat
ter Of baseball history, and il was his
suspensions that caused both president
Murphy and manager Chance to accuse
president Lynch, OF the National league
OF being Unduly prejudiced against the
Chicago club.
Now, the question naturally arises,
