Sidelights on Sports
BY A. II. C. MITCHELL

THE job of manager Of a ball
club looks to be the easiest
thing in the world-from the
grandstand. Players also think
the job is a cinch. SO far as is
known, only one man ever refused
an offer to manage a ball club.
That man was Uncle Cy Young.
At one time they wanted him to
manage the Red Sox.
Not on your life" declared the
old man.
But younger players have no
hesitancy in rushing into a man.
agerial berth whenever it is Of
Tered. Nay, more. They seek the
job. When they finally land-if
they do-less than u month of n
championship season is needed to
convince them that managing a
ball club is about the toughest
proposition that was ever in
vented.
"CHARLES WEBB MURPHY"
says The New York Sun,
has opened the winter campaign
with the announcement that Al
Bridwell must be suppIanted as
the Cubs shortstop for the reason
that he Is too slow. Last spring
Murphy predicted that Bridwell
would make Chicago fans forget
all about Tinker"
Boston fans discovered four or
five years ago that Bridwell was
too slow. They discovered 1t
when the Red Sox played the
Giants post-season series. Bird
was then the regular shortstop
for MCGraw. He was unable to
get balls hit within a few feet OF
him. He never improved over the
post-season showing, vet many
baseball managers scrambled for
his services for several years after
that.
Which leads one to believe that
some baseball managers are not
very observing after all,

FOOTBALL STAR DIES,

ST. JAMES, MIMI, Nov. Lyle
Johnson, the former Minnesota Uni
versty football captain and a gridiron
star at the Gopher SHOOT for several
years. died of typhoid fever at a local
hospital yesterday. Johnson was taken
to the hospital several days ago and for
q time it seemed he would recover. His
condition took a turn for the worse on
Thursday. however, and the doctors
held out little hope for his recovery.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-11-01

Il thought maybe l could save
Schang. But to my establishment
there were just thirteen drafts for
him, and Connie Mack, who, by
the way, was the very last man
to put in an offer for him. and
then only because Johnny Dunn,
of Baltimore, kept after him,
turned out 10 be the lucky man"
HITHERTO the clubs of organ
lied baseball have allowed
the Federal League TO establish
clubs wherever they have seen
fit. No objection has been made
in any of the cities where they
have located. The league has
picked up it's own players from
the back lots and from semi pro
teams, but now it is said they
contemplate a raid on the clubs OF
the major leagues. If this is done
there will be a war to the knife,
and the Federal League will find
IT a costly experiment.

its publication are set forth by Miss
Julia c. Lathrop, chief of the bureau

says:

WILSON AND THE MEXICAN STU
ALTON.

WILSON AND THE MEXICAN STU
ALTON.
The press dispatches from Mexico
City indicate that there exists at the
Mexican capital no little feeling of in
dignation, either real or manufactured
to order on paper, against the sending
by President Wilson of personal rep
resentative to that city. This feeling
of indignation, if IL really exists, is
based on the theory that President
Wilson contemplates intervention
with Mexican affairs to secure peace
between contending factions. 1t is
said that the pride Of the Mexican peo-
pie resents the very idea of interven-
ton by foreign government in the af-
fairs of the distracted republic.
The pride" of the Mexican people
in their country's honor and integrity
and ability to handle its own affairs,
in view of the circumstances and con.
ditions which for the last few years
has made the nation a reproach in the
eyes OF the civilized world, is thing
passing UNDERSTANDING.
But even II it exists, that pride has
no cause for alarm or indignation over
the attitude President Wilson has as
sumed toward Mexico. He has exhib
tied no purpose of even proposing in.
PREVENTION, much less has he made
any movement in that direction.
The Huerta government is, OF
course. displeased because the govern
ment of the United States has so far
pursued a policy of nonintervention
TO the extent Of not giving it the recog
/ milton IL desires. 1t is probable that
Huerta and lis supporters are trying
10 stir up animosity against the Unit
ed States among the people of Mexico
But there IS no evidence that this
! feeling has taken deep root, or exists
at all outside of a certain class Of
emotional people and those who are in
/ debted wholly or in part to the Huerts
government fer their support.
Be this as it may. the fact remain!
quite evident TO intelligent, well-in
formed people that President Wilson
has pursued a conservative, impartia
course in his necessary dealing witt
Mexican factions and the people o
| Mexico as a nation.
II is not likely that the adherents o
the late Ambassador Henry Lane viii
son and the Huerta usurping govern
ment combined can succeed in chang
ing the determination of Presiden
Wilson to keep hands off, Mexican
factional troubles in dealing wit
United States interests in Mexico.
The president has thus far main
tanned the most equitable attitude tc
ward Mexico in its disturbed conditio
and Will continue to do so. In doin
this he will meet with the approval G
