There is the same old question con.

1t is Evil the good young pitchers

leagues as vas the ease last year. First
year wonders sometimes repeat, but
not often. Clubs that figure on the

MANAGERS CONE
FROM |NF|ELD
Five Of Eight Teams in the
National Piloted by Inner
Garden Players.

Infielders have rushed to the front
as managers in the National league
this season. Five of the eight teams
in the league will be handled by men
who are now playing infield positions.
or did before they retired from active
service on the field. The three inleld
playing managers are Tinker Of the
Reds. Higgins of the Cardinals. and
Evers of the Cubs. all of whom are
assuming. the burden of management
for the first time this season. The
two retired infelders who ~ now
managers on the old circuit are Nc
Graw Of the Giants and Dahlen Of the
Superbas. It certainly seems as II
there is something about the playing
Of the infield which brings out the
best that there is in a player and de-
velops his faculties in a way to make
him a successful leader. OF the other
two are outfielders and one Is a CATCH
er. Fred Clarke was q playing. man
ager in the outfield until last year,
when he retired to the bench. but the
chances r good that he will be in
harness again this season. George
Stallings, who will manage the Boston
Beans from the bench, was an out
fielder in his playing days a good
many years ago. Both these men

teams. Clarke has managed the Pitts
burg team for a dozen seasons and
has never finished out of the first d.
vision, besides winning four pennants.
Stallings has been with several clubs
both in the major and minor leagues,
and has achieved q reputation as q
winning leader wherever he has been.
Charley Doom of the Phillies is the
only catcher now managing a team in
the league. Catchers have not been
very successful as leaders. John
King was a failure at Boston, ana
Roger Bresnahan failed utterly to do
what was expected Of him at st. Louis.
Doom TOY has q chance to redeem
the reputation of his position. for this
year for the first time he will be free
Of senseless interference from officials
of the club, and will have an oppor.
tunity to run his team according to
his own ideas. President Locke will
give him an absolutely free hand, and
Doom is likely to make his club one
to be feared by all other teams in the
league. But the infielders have the
call as managers. and the work of the
three new men who are trying to fol-
low in McGraw's footsteps will be
watched with intense Interest as the
a advances and the fans can OBJ
serve what kind of work they are get

The local passenger train of the o.
W. r. & N. Co., which is scheduled to
arrive here at 1905 from Portland each
morning, was derailed while leaving
siding at Menominee yesterday morn
