TOM SHARKEY WAS
NICE LITTLE MANAGER
FOR JIMMY BARRY

Los Angeles. Cal, Jan. 4.-Ai Palzer
springs a good one about Sharkeys ex-
perience as a manager, and Incidentally
tells of a knockout which does not ap-
pear In Jim Barry's record.
1t will be remembered that Sharkey
once picked Barry TO win the heavy
weight championship, and had so much
faith in the big fellow that he took him
under his managerial wing.
.Sharkey brought Barry down to the
gymnasium one day in New York TO
teach him a few things that he needed
to learn said Palzer. ''Sharkey was
trying to teach him certain defense
for a right to the jaw. Barry couldn't
see il that way. and failed to follow in
structions. After a time Sharkey got
peevish. and pretty soon. whangi over
went Sharkey's right to the jaw. He
knocked his own white hope stiff.
There. l guess that will hold you for
a while gloated Sharkey as he left the
gymna SUM. leaving Barry in dreamland
and minus a manager"

Grif's Training Camp Ideas.

Give me four weeks, with an even
break from the weather man, and I can
get my ball club into condition to start
the season. declared Manager Griffith,
Of the Nationals. when asked what he
thought of McGraw's plan of working
out his players seven weeks in advance
OF the sound of the opening gun.
Il do not wish to go on record as
Criticising McGraw or his methods" con-
tinued the Old Fox, doubtless he has
good reasons for ordering a long training
camp season. l myself consider four
weeks ample time and have found that
such is the case for men who have lived
the right kind of lives during the win
ter, which every ball player should do
If he takes any pride or interest in his
work"
Johnny McGra@ broke up a prevailing
belief that existed in baseball and other
sports to the effect that the contestant
off to great start is sure to come back
before the race ends Pacemakers, in
other words, are seldom winners of the
race.
Last year McGraw sent his club to the
field for the opening game in splendid
shape. II outclassed every team but
Cincinnati early in the game, and the
pitching 1t received then from Rube Mar
guard cinched its pennant. But for that
start McGraw might have lost the pen
nant,
This year McGraw again intends to go
on the theory that a game won at the
start Of the season does just as much
to cop the flag as one taken at its end.
Every effort will be strained to send the
team 10 the field in midseason form.
II this should happen. particularly of
the clubs pitchers, 1t is safe to predict
right now that the Pirates and not the
Giants will win the flag. The Giants
last year were cracking sadly for two
months and their slovenly play in the
worlds series indicates how badly the
club was Off form at the end of the
campaign.
The whole trouble is that athletes cam
not stay on edge for six months even in
SO moderate manner as baseball men
are asked to. They invariably go stale
and lose form. II is therefore better to
be coming team than a waning one.
for, If it comes down to a final battle
or two, the improved club will have the
best chance to nose out
McGraw may have his front running
outfit-the one which hits its stride in
June is the one that will stand the best
chance of the pennant.
