Success Of Lookouts' New Manager Doubtful
Elberfeld Rank Bloomer as Yankees Leader

dropped in less than FIVE weeks to
the very bottom of the ladder Ell
berfeld treated Hal Chase so badly
that the great first baseman jump
ed the team and went back to his
home in California. And when the
Kid was finally disposed of he left
such a wreck of a machine that
owner Frank Farrell had to build
up a complete new outfit.
Here is what the Spalding guide
OF l9V9 mas to say about Elberfeld:
Nothing in the season of 1908
was more remarkable than the ca
reer of the New York Highland
ers. With a good getaway from
the starting line, the hilltop team
set out to make what looked like
runaway race for the flag. and
before the middle OF May thew
were so firmly intrenched in first
place that the general opinion
was Griffith had a pennant win
ner after many years of effort
But the belief was not to last long,
for before May was ended the
team started slump which car
RED 1t down without stopping and
at such speed that in a little over
1ve weeks the Highlanders hit the
bottom never to rebound.
Before this happened the res
lgnauon of Manager Griffith was
announced and the appointment
of Norman Elberfeld was made to
the vacant position. But dissen-
sion continued to grow in the
ranks and finally resulted in the
desertion of the crack first base
man. Hal Chase, who jumped 10
the California State league. From
these combinations of tough luck
the team as whole never recov-
cred"
And from the Reach guide of 1909
we print the following concerning
Elberfeld's success" with the New
York team in 1908:
80 The appointment of
Elberfeld as his (Griffith's) sue
cessor led to factional troubles.

DAN JOHNSON is quoted as
u saying that Walter John
sons winning streak was
broken Monday by st. Louis. He
is alleged to have said: THE win
ming run was made by the st. Louis
team when Johnson was in the box
and the game will be recorded as a
defeat for him. Johnson made a
wild pitch and q St. Louis batsman
hit him for a single that sent home
the deciding run"
When Johnson took up the
pitching burden there were two
men on the paths This alone ex-
cuses him from a defeat. He had
nothing to gain and everything to
lose. And in such a case he can
not be charged with defeat.
Harry Pulliam, former National
league president, rendered a verdict
on this question years ago and 1t
sure was good dope, too. He
claimed that the pitcher who was
withdrawn from the game be held
responsible for all runners who
were on the paths when the relief
hurler was rushed to the rescue.
Therefore, Johnson could not be
charged for a run until the two
men on the bases when he went
into the box had cashed. ANY
others that scored after that would
have been rightfully charged to
him.
But I do not believe johnson
ever gave out such statement. 1t
was too good a boost for his league
to have Johnson In line for rec
ord, And B. Byron is one of our
best little press agents.

JOHNSON FAILS TO BREAK MARQUARD'S RECORD

OF getting up to or passing RUDE
Marquard's winning record Of nine
teen straight Victories. Having
won sixteen in row, all Washing
ton turned out to see Johnson beat
the loWly Browns. 1t looked like a
clnch for him, after the way he has
been handling all the first division
clubs. But it was not to be.

Browns oopped the argument. to ..
But Johnson is game. Although
the season is getting late he is
going to go right out and try again
to break the record.
Greatest Pitcher of All Time.
Unassuming and quiet Walter
Johnson is today the most wonder
full pitcher baseball has ever pro-
duced. Notwithstanding the fact
that he had broken the record
made by Jack Chesbro four years
ago, when he defeated Cleveland
for his tifteenth win. johnson
walked to the bench after that
game as modestly as though he had
done nothing more than what was
in direct line with his duty. There
was not the least action signifytng
that he even thought Of his great
accomplishment. and instead of
waiting to receive the congratula-
lions of the players who started to
crowd around him. he grabbed his
sweater off the bench and hurried
to the club house He had but
done what he considered was his
work, and he could see little need
for the wild huzzas coming from
the stands.
1t is a fact that Johnson. al
though he has been a brilliant per
former since the first day he stood
in a major league pitching box was
released by two or three minor
league clubs before coming here.
He started his baseball career in
the West and was tried out bv
clubs in the Pacific Coast and
Northwestern leagues. He was let
go as being useless. Probably the
catchers had little use for him with
that tremendous speed, and maybe
they were at fault But. anyway.
somebody failed to recognize the
jewel and he was allowed to drift,
away.

figured an easy time with the awk-

they had reckoned wrong. Such
speed as Johnson sent across the
plate they had never seen. He had
them backing away from the ball
continually-he was wild enough
then to keep the batters scared
and when the ninth inning was over
Johnson was the victor over the
most tried club in the circuit and
everybody knew that the Senators
had picked up a wonderful pitch

Even with a losing club. one
which has been seventh and eighth
so continuously that no other place
was ever figured for it, johnson
has been a winning pitcher So
exceptional has his work been re-
garded that whenever the Wash
ington club was on the road the
papers in the cities would print ad-
vance accounts something like
this: The Walter Johnsons will be
here next week and etc.

than anything else to the very poor
work of his club. His record that

l/TyEEP 'em guessing is the
- motto Of the two most sue
- successful managers in the
Southern league-Charley Frank
and Bill smith. In an effort to
live UP to this precept BIZ smith
has grabbed one Of Charley Franks
pet ideas and has allowed 1T to be
rumored that next year he may
be for a blind president Of the At
lanta Baseball association. II he
took this office he could appoint a
PLAYING manager. and thus keep
down the salary roll. For with
PLAYING manager, only half his sal
arv counts against him in figuring
the total salary for the month.
Thus. for example, he could get
one $500 a month man, slip him in
as phony manager, and only have
$3.50 appear on the payroll.
smith may have sprung this
scheme lust TO get a little talk
stirred up. At the same time, he
may right now have a high priced
man he plans to get for next year,
whose salary he intends to split up
in this manner
~ F course II Smith put through
such deal it would be nee
essary 10 account for Presi-
dent Frank galloway, who is the big
mogul for next year. Just as he has
been for this. 1t would be an easy
matter. however. TO make him
chairman Of the board of directors
or to give him some other phony
title. leaving all authority in his
hands.
THE chief drawback to this
scheme of making Bill Smith
president is that he could be kept
off the bench However. at home
this would he no hardship at all,
for Smith could sit in the next box
and direct the players just as we'll
as though he sat among them. on
the road the problem would be
more delicate At the same time.

And Bill Smith may chance it.
COUNT on Bill Smith for one
thing. He win give Atlanta a
team next year made up neither ex-
clusively Of Youngsters nor exclu-
sively Of old-timers. but rather Of
we'll balanced mixture Of both.
Bill Smith had his FIJI of old tim
ers in Chattanooga last year.
He figured that season that it
didn't matter how old man was.
so long as he was a bah player.
He found out, however that it was
one thing TO have been a ball player
and quite another to be a ball play
er. Atlanta fans saw the workings
OF that under Hemphill this year.
