While it is not generally known, Fielder

Both Sides.
Ball players who have known only one
side of Mr.. ODay's character say that he
will not be able to do SO. Others, who
know that the former umpire can talk
with the meliiiuous gurgle of maple strip
! oozing in ambered sweetness from the
jug. insist that the honey of the wild bee
has nothing for sweetness as compared
with Mr.. ODay when he desires to be
sociable.
The one great question of interest SO
far as the future campaign is concerned
is wrapped up in the attitude which will
| be assumed by the new manager to the
umpires. Will he be a, DR.. Jekyll or a
Mr. Hyde to his former associates? If
Clark Griffith were in the National
League this year and he were manager

be safe to lay dem tasse against a

To Escape a Strike-Out.

There are players who are so timid, or
SO devoid OF self-confidence, that aftec
two strikes have been called against them
they will swing namely at the ball, HOP
ing to meet ii. They have Ii tie ex-
pectation that they will bat il safely, but
they are DESTROYS Of escaping the e.
nominy of striking out.
Perhaps Mr. O'Day will have the names
of all of those on his memora ndum book.
What could rasp with more acerbity than
to have the new manager signal to his
pitcher, either by the sign language or
by word of mouth, to give the batter one
over the plate at certain altitude, be
cause all he wanted was to evade a
strike-out.'
Some of the batters of the National
League who have been wont to find fault
with the new manager when he was a
Judge of balls and strikes will walk TO the
plate this year with fear in their hearts
that the new manager knows a great deal
more about their weaknesses than their
own managers, and that the pitchers of
the Cincinnati club will have been care
fully coached to deliver the ball to that
spot where the batter can be quickes;
rid of.
However. coaching players is not al OF
the game which must be played by the
successful manager. He must know how
to handle players. MIR. O'Day will have
to adapt his temperament to as many
