FEW DIAMOND STARS
 ARE SUCCESSFUL AS \ MANAGERS IN MINORS

Wfta1 all his wonderful skill in man aging bah clubs and developing play FITS. Connie Mack. however, has so far been unable to impart to his lieu tenants that same knowledge which has made himself one of the great est leaders baseball has ever seen. Mack has developed some wonderful ball players; yet there is not a single graduate of his school who has made 3 success as manager. A number have tried but failed. From the Mo Eraw school a number of players have been graduated to higher lev els and while none of them has achieved half the fame of their tutor, yet quite a few have been success f1 nancially.
 Of all the former Giant players who have become managers after they quit the New York club Iron Man Joe McGinnity has made the most money out of baseball Not many years ago Joe got himself 1n bad with the Newark fans and dis posed of his stock. There was an opening out on the Pacific coast and there McGinnity went. He holds in- terest in club out there and Is said to be making money out of his in vestmenf.
 Roger Bresnahan also has made enough out of the game to protect himself after his baseball career is over. McGraw let Bresnahan go to St Louis to better himself, even though Roger was one of the best catchers in the game. Bresnahan. however, never made a name for him self as leader. But at times when he had his Cardinal team running well 1t made money for the clubs stockholders.
 Frank Bowerman, who was team mate with Bresnahan, also branched out as 8 manager. But he didn't last long For several seasons he led the Indianapolis club of the American As soc1ation; but in the last few years had dropped out of sight. Fred Ten neY, one of the best liked players on the diamond in his day, also had ishoKt tryout as manager of the Bos- ton Nationals. But he didn't stick long The former Brown col1egian lasted one season. then, like many oth- CTS, was forced out Bill Dah1en. a great shortsbop in his palny days, has stuck in the big league longer than the others. Trouble is looming up on his horizon, however, and before spring Bad Bill may be forced to look for another berth
 Since near the close of the last sea- son two more Giants branched out as managers Arthur Devlin passed iout of the big leagues when StalHngs released him. But Arthur wasn't out Of a job long, for it was no time at all until he had been offered a job on the coast. Dev1in, while he was in lthe big league, was a. scrappy player. He fought to win It will be inter esting to watch to see what success he will enjoy in his new role. The other embryo leader is no other than Handsome Harry Mccormick, the w K pinch hitter. If Mccormick makes as good a manager as he did a bat ter in pinches Chattanooga fans will k~.
 As brainy players as they were it is rather an odd fact that none of the former Athletic stars ever made good as a manager. The first to break into the managerial ranks was Lave Cross captain of the Mackmen few years ago. From the Quaker City he went to Washington. Failure was his lot His career as a. minor league manager too, met with indifferent success Monte Cross wasn't with Kansas City year before he was turned adrift Socks Seybo1d and Topsy HartseI, the latter at one time a. member of Mack's board of strategy, were tried out at Toledo.
 Harry Davis, the only one to sue ceed a major league manager, was of little service to Cleveland Bris Lord of Boston, once an Athletic will manage Mobile of the Southern lea gue next year. What he will accom- plish remains to be seen. Bill Bern hard, a pitcher, had the unique dis tinction of winning a Southern league pennant his first year out as a man ager.
