Dissatisfied with the 1912 season, many ball clubs have made changes in the managerial end of the game for the next season, confident that change of managers will help the team. These changes have been very general throughout the baseball world, the majors as well as the min ors making big shifts in the hope of landing pennants.
 Many team owners have the mis- taken idea that 8 manager is the cause of the success or failure of a ball club, and this is what causes so many radical changes from year to year in many cases 1t Is undoubtedly true that the manager is the cause of the suc- ces or failure of a team, and a change of managers is very beneficial but in equally as many instances it is in no way the fault of the managers, and the change works no good.
 In the National league Chicago, Gin cinnati, Boston and St. Louis have made changes for the 1913 race. This is just half the clubs and Is a very big percentage In the American league it is hardly so bad, New York being the only club to make a shift, and this undoubtedly was for the bet ter. Under Wolverton the Yankees made an awful showing in the race for the flag In Ban Johnson's circuit, while Chance did far better as the manager of the Cub machine.
 The New Managers.
 The new managers in the National league are Johnny Every, at Chicago; Joe Tinker, at Cincinnati Miller Hug gins, at St. Louis, and George Stall sVav HvNI1 experience in the big show, and their appointment as managers is no exper- iment. Their ability is already well established, and while they have not held jobs as leaders, they have been at the game for some time, and. by working under some of the brainest of the big show leaders. have learned the game thoroughly and should make good leaders. Evers Tinker and Chance, three of the best man agers in the big show, all worked with the famous Cub machine. and the teams they lead will certainly have the old pep.
 In Johnson's Circuit.
 The season in the American league, as usual, was serene and fast and few changes were made. The dropping of Wolverton and placing of Chance at the head of the New York club was the only shift. This was a great move by Owner Frank Farrell of the New Workers, and besides helping his club will prove big help to the league. The old managers who continue to hold their places in the National leagues are John McGrsk, at New York; Fred Clarke, at Pittsburgh; Bill Dshlen, at Brooklyn, and Red Dooin at Philadelphia In the Amer ican league the old heads who hold sway are Jake Stahl. at Boston; Con- nie Mack, at Philadelphia; Joe Birm- ingham, at Cleveland Hughey Jen- nings, at Detroit, and Jimmy Callahan at Chicago.
 Relief For Ed. Walsh. The White Sox have sixteen pitch CTS in line for next year. Each one of course, comes highly recommend ed. All but three of the sixteen are right flanders. Doc White, George Mogridge and Russell of the Texas league, being the only port -siders. Il

NOTED HARVARD ATHLETE
 IS UNDER SUSPENSION
Paul Wilmington is Charged With Ac- ceptng Salary For Coaching Foot ball and Swimming Teams.

Paul Wilmington assistant grad uate treasurer of the Harvard Athletic association, has been temporarily suspended by the New England Am ateur Athletic association and has been requested to appear before the wrestling committee of that body and give his reasons, if any, why the sus- pension should not be made a per manent one.
 Wilmington is in the Medical school and takes a great interest in the swim hing wrestling and football teams. He is & former heavyweight amateur champion wrestler of New England. The charges against him were an af- termath of the association's suspen- sion of half dozen of Harvard's best swimmers who engaged in an un- sanctioned meet. Wilmington protested iustily against this ruling.
 The committee then busied itself and announced that the s5,oo0 year at Harvard did not compensate Wilmington alone for his office work, but also paid him for his coaching of the football and swimming teams. It was for coaching that he was suB- pended.
 An evil which is expected to be brought before the committee shortly is that of promiscuous expert arti- cle" writings by amateur and college athletes who exchange the use of their names and their knowledge gained as participants in amateur sport for ready cash.
 The college writers willingly admit that such stuff as they subscribe their signatures to would never find en- trance into a newspaper, much less their own college news sheet, unless the magic scratch of their signatures accompanied the articles.
 Chairnan's Statement. When James E. Sullivan, chairman of the national registration commit tee of the A. A. U.. was asked about Withington's suspension, he said:
 T know nothing about the details of his case. I simply heard that he had been suspended. I have great faith in the honesty and ability of the members of the New England association, and I feel sure they would not suspend any one unless they had sufficient evidence to war rant it.
 If MT Wilmington thinks he has been treated unfairly he may appeal from the ruling of the New England | association and receive a hearing by the national body. If he were sus- pended unjustly he will be reinstated.H When asked whether or not the A. A U. contemplated passing a law pro- hibiting athletes from writing signed

BENDER ASKS MACK TO
 PLEASE FORGIVE HIM
Big Indian Pitcher Says He'll Walk a Crack and Work His Arm oH-He's Going to Get the Chance.

Big Chief Bender has asked Connie Mack to please forgive him and prom tses to be good Indian in the future The famous pitcher of the Athletics fell from grace last summer, also from the water wagon, and the climax was reached when the Athletics played their final series at New York. Ben der came to the park in a boisterous mood He didn't care whether school kept or not, and he wasn't bit afraid when he saw the solemn faced Mack entering the dressing room. Bender had been that way before and Mack had quietly passed him by. But Ben der's condition that day was the last straw. Mack actually lost his temper He slapped on a $250 fine, suspended the big chief for the rest of the sea- son without pay and ordered him to take the earliest train for Philadel- phia
 Bender was dumbfounded when he heard Mack impose this sentence and left town abruptly. He took brace almost instantly and reported at Shibe park for daily practice, hoping that Mack would relent. But the Athletics manager refused to even look at Ben der, who went home at the end of the season wondering whether he would be traded or not.
 Stories to the effect that Mack in tended to send the big chief to the minors soon reached the pitchers ears. He couldn't believe them. yet he wor- ried. He wrote several letters to Mack and received no response But one day Bender decided to place him. self on record. He wrote another let ter to the tall manager in which he declared that he would work his arm off if Mack would give him just one
 more chance. When Mack received this missive he smiled. It was just what he had been waiting fer. He sent
 to the Indian that he would be eX- pected to report in first class train
 ing condition at the spring training
 camp and that his retention by the Athletics would depend entirely upon his work in the box.
 If you break your promiAe and fall again, 1t will be the minors for you" was the managers warning and
 it wasn't bluff. Mack doesn't say | much anyway, but at the American league meeting in Chicago he told sev- eral close friends that with Bender able to pitch as he did in 1911, the Athletics would win the championship
 next season. Mack will keep his ia
 nous stonewall infield intact-McIn- | nes, Collins, Baker and barry. Just now he seems to favor the former Baltimore youngsters, Murphy and | Walsh, for two of the outfield posi- tions. with Daly. recently secured from Los Angeles, for the other berth, | unless Rube Oldring, like Bender, de- | cidss to walk a chalk line.
 Mack has Bender, Coombs, Plank, | Brown, HoHck and some good young sters for the pitching department. to- | gether with four catchers, Thomas,
