lew YORK, n. Y, Dec. 1s.-With
four new managers assured IN
4 y the National league for next
year, the season of 1913 will have a
speculative interest for baseball fans
that should add much zest to the
championship race Of the parent or
ganizatiOn.
Joe Tinker is to have charge of the
Cincinnati Reds, George Stallings will
lead the Boston Braves, Miller Hug
gins will try to improve the standing
of the St Louis Cardinals over the
record made by Roger Bresnahan, and
Johnny EYers will endeaVor to push
the Chicago Cubs at the same fast
pace set by Frank Chance, or to a
speedier clip.
There are three of these new leaders
who viii have their first experience as
managers. George Stallings is the only
one of the quartet who has fought dia-
mond battles from the bench, and he
will take charge of the Braves with
an established reputation as a wise
leader and also as man of great
business success in conducting base
bali affairs.
National League Is Lucky.
The National league is very fortu-
nate to be able to secure the Services
of such an array of talent and will
start next seasons race with the pros
pect of its being one of the most thor
oughly interesting from every angle
that could be furnished. The many
changes Of management will add
spice Of rivalry that should be most
healthfuf
With Evers and Tinker in a battle
of managerial wits, the games between
the Cubs and Reds will make baseball
history, as will those between the
Giants and Cubs and the Giants and
Reds.
There is no doubt that Evers and
Tinker were a big part Of the brains
of the Cubs. Chance was born base
ball leader. but still it cannot be de-
MED that Evers and Tinker were most
worthy lieutenants of the P. L. With
out those two stars Chance might not
have been as uniformly successful as
he was. and that is not said to take
away the least mite from the splendid
record he has made.
What other player in the business
would have thought so quickly as
Johnny Evers in detecting the tech
meal point that Dlerkle had failed to

nj Miller Higgins has a pretty
= sweet legacy at st. Louis in the
way of bail players. He has first
baseman whose showing last season
ranks him as among the best in the
country Higgins himself can play
second base with any Of them, Whlle
Arnold Hauser is today considered by
many people the second best shortstOp
in the National league-ranking Honus
Wagner first
Mike Mowrey is a good third base
man. while the Cardinal Outf1elderS
are by no means the worst in the
country GilhOoey, one Of Bresnahan' s
youngsters, looks very promising,
while young Magee viii eventually be
classed as a great ball player. Cakes,
Evans and Ellis are all valuable men.
Ivy Wingo, another Bresnahan pro-
tege, is one OF the many fine young
catchers developed in the National
league during the past two years
Higgins will need some new pitching
strength, however. Harmon, Sallee
and Steele are above the average as
pitchers, and Miller may be able to de-
TelOp one OF two consistent perform
ers from the long list Of youngsters
gathered by the Bresnahan scouts.
Aside from the veterans on the yam
kee staff, the best pitching prospect
Chance VIII find in New York IS "Sa-
Tannah" Shultz, the big left handler,
who worked in a few games toward
the close Of last season. This fellow
has all the speed Of a MarQuard, and
he made a profound impression on
those who saw him in 1912. He has d
fast ball with a queer hop, such as
made the Rube so effective, and in
the hands Of an old catcher he should
prove a marvel
