Managers Prefer Bench.

Too many managers get suddenly the
desire to give up playing when they are
first appointed to their new positions. 1t
may not be self-importance that produces
the desire. but it looks very much like it,
To become boss, after years in the rank
and file, and the privilege of ordering
people around is a pinnacle of success
that some few players have been unable
to stand without compromising them
selves by their vanity. otherwise known
as swell-headedness. But that kind for
.tunately does not last long in their new
Office without bringing disaster to their
club, team and themselves.
There will be three new managers in
the National League the coming season,

is but one who won't sign until he has a
personal conference with the manager.
and that is Milan. who has never been
known 20 sign until he reports in the
spring.
Griffith's success in this respect is due
Ito the fact that he has convinced his
players that their efforts will be reward
ed. He raised the salaries of every one
of his players last year who made good.
He did this voluntarily. and il was appre-
ciated by the players. There is. of course,
a big advantage in having lot of young
sters on team. They sign at low figures
and it is possible to give them increases
from time to time, thus keeping them sa. =
ised. There is. of course, a limit. and
when a player reaches that point where
he is getting all that club can afford to
pay he is usually hard to do business
with.
Two of the Nationals outfield recruits
give indications of being good hitters
Wellchance led the Southern League with
his stick. and Joe Connolly established a
record In the International League with
his bat. In three different games laDt sea-
son he made two home runs feat which
perhaps has never before been accom-
plished, and which incidentally proved
him to be a hard hitter. OF course, hit
ting alone does not make high-class ball
teams These two youngsters will have
to show some ability in the field and on
the bases. and it is said of Connolly that
he is particularly fast. 1t will help mat
ters materially even II this pair should
not get regular positions on the team to
have them around for their clouting abil-
ity.
Davy Jones has been sold to the Chi
cagO White Sox. The deal which took
him away from the Tigers has finally
been made. For years Jones has been
mentioned in trades or threatened with
release, and the switch has finally taken
place.
1t would be interesting to count up the
youngsters who have been hired ex-
pressly to lure Mr.. Jones' job away from
him. Some critics say that there have
been fully LOCO of them. while the more
conservative are inclined to place 1t at
about 30. Each year a crop of bright
faced and hopeful lads bobs up as certain

PLAY IF POSSIBLE
Manager Should Be in Game
to Encourage His Players.
VOL LVERTON AN EXAMPLE
Too Many Chieftains Suddenly Quit
When Given New
Position.
VOL LVERTON AN EXAMPLE

NEW YORK. January 11.-Managers Of
base ball teams should get into the line
up often ssible if they have not
lost their usefulness as active players.
There is nothing more any man
ager can do to gain the respect for his
authority by his players. and to get all
out of his men that is in them. than to
show them that he knows more about
the game than they do and is better
player than they.
1t is the example that leader of a
ball team sets to his players that carries
the weight, and II it is the proper one
it gives no chance for comeback.
One reason that Wolverton was not a
success in getting winning results with
the Yankees last season was because he
failed to demonstrate to his players that
he understood up-to-date base ball as
played by the big leaguers as we'll as
some of the men to whom he gave orders.
II is not human nature to be dictated
to by one who knows less of the subject
i'm hand than the person ordered 10. do
things that the latter knows is wrong.
And the large majority of base ball play
ers are human, Notwithstanding that SC
many of them have given cause for
arousing grave doubts as to the SUBJ
stantiality of that fact
Lack of Teamwork.
While the Yankees were possibly not
desirous, for various reasons. to openly
show their dissatisfaction over Wolver-
toms methods of management and direc-
ton Of plays. still the fact that they
finished in last place and were a team
that ought to have been placed much
higher shows there was woeful lack OF
teamwork and the requisite winning
spirit that produce successful results.
Bench managers like McGraw and
Mack have the confidence of their play
ers not alone by their personal charac-
teristics. which. by the way, are entirely
different. but also for the reason that
they have shown by records that their
systems produce champion teams.
With the belief firmly imbued in play
ers' minds that they are being led by
champion managers who have sole and
unlimited authority, such players. with
all the confidence that victories are sure
to bring, become champions themselves.
Frank Chance has stated since he sign
ed to manage the Yankees that he will
play first base if his health will allow Of
a most sensible conclusion for him to
arrive at. His example on the field as an
active player will be of immense good
to the players Of his team. and is sure
to increase their winning percentage to a
standard that will assure them finishing
make the engagement of Chance as big
a paying investment to Frank Farrell
as his Eberality to his new manager on
the salary question deservedly warrant.
1t is to be sincerely hoped that Chance
will be enabled to follow out his desire
to play.

that Mr.. Mann was about to depart for
his summer holiday, that an over

and Samuel Shipman built around a
story of genuine heart interest. The
role Of the husband, Charles sample,
is played by Mr.. Mann and it has en-
abled him to add another to his long
list of remarkable stage creations.
Sample is a money-getter, but from an
educational standpoint woefully IN
polished. His wife, on the contrary,
is ambitious to shine among the intel
lectuals, so she sets herself the task
OF "elevating" Sample. Her expert
ment forms a most interesting and
amusing story. The role of the wife
is played by Emily Ann Wellman, who
has been Mr.. Mann's leading woman
for severa- seasons, and the actor has
