What has caused this wonderful
change in the Browns, the jump from
eighth place to first division in the
American League? Who's respon-
sibIe? What are the improvements?
How comes it all Who's the man b =
hind the Browns? Just answer -
Eranch Hickey.
Ridiculed by critics. scribes, man
ayers, minor leaguers and scores of
wise guys in baseball, Branch Hickey
now is the 1914 American League sen
given the haw-haW. Rather this same
B. Hickey is being touted as a major
league baseball manager.
Six weeks were needed before Rick
ey could prove to major league fol-
lowers that he was not silly fool;
that college methods could develop
winners in the big arena, and that a
rough and rowdy guy was not neces-
sary to the game.
Rivals "HaW-Haw" at Branch.
The appointment of Hickey as man
ager of the Browns last autumn. when
he succeeded George Stovall. man
with years of experience, caused fun
for the rival folks. More fun was
had this spring.. when Hickey announc-
ed his ideas for training big league
ball players.
Then when Branch, announced from
the training camp that cigarettes, IL
quor, late hours and poker would not
be tolerated with the Browns, and
that sliding pits, short running races.
hand ball practice and bunting cages
would make up the daily practice
Hickey was handed the laugh stuff by
those who have been in the big league
for a dozen years. ..S. -.
The general impression was that
college stuff never could go in the
big league, and that no manager
could rule a bail player in such a
ladylike way. -" :....- -a

Hickey is peculiar fellow, but
that's probably the most important
trait on his road to success. He's diff
ferent from anyone else we've seen In
major league baseball for II years.
IA Few ideas on january {.
A three-coiumn story was printed
in the.IapRary /, 1914. issue. of the
Sport ling News seoucsfnins Hickey, his
methods and style, and with many
questions as to what he would do
with the Browns in 1914 We reprint
"a few OF the questions and Rickey's
answers: :.
Il. How shall you handle your men
firm? Or shall you speak to their
sense of right to give the club their
most worthy services? 80. i.
Answer. Impossible to give cate
gorical answer; depends entirely upon
the man, the offense, the time. the
place, how he feels and how | feel.
az. You do not play ball or don
your uniform on Sundays. Would you
.censure any one of your men should
he feel about the Sabbath in the same
manner as yourself?
Answer. The ST. Louis American
League Baseball Company sign the
players to their contracts Beyond a
doubt, both parties will observe their
contract. H. ...s

BRANCH RICKEY GIVEN CREDIT
FOR GREAT Showing OF BROWNS

Answer. The Browns have IL old
players and 25 rev ones do not

are too good to be in last place.
- Do you think the past manage
Tent has failed TO pull the full
strength from the Browns?
Answer. have never made Criti-
cism OF any past manager and know
comparatively little of the material
each had"
The above queries and answers are
just a sample OF big package put
before Branch Hickey by the cores
pondent of the Sporting News back
on January l.
1t will he noted that not In one case
did Branch attack his predecessors;
that he had confidence in himself that
the Browns would not finish last. and
that he cleverly evaded the smack OF
criticism directed toward him for not
managing the Browns on the Sabbath
But Branch Hickey has succeeded
with his methods. Surely one cannot
see where there is much added pa
per" strength on this years team over
the one George Stovall had In the
spring of 1913. In fact, this spring
We judged the 1918 club to have been
better than the 1914 team
For instance, anyone would pick
George Stovall as a better first base
man than Jack Leary. recruit;
would say the crew OF shortstopS out
classed Clyde Wares; that the catch
ing staff with Walter. Alexander and
Bill McAllester, assistant to Sam Ag-
new, appeared stronger than the pre-
sent one. and that even the pitching
staff looked to be more formidable
than the one Branch Hickey owns to-
day.
However, Hickey has introduced his
ideas; he has the players carrying
out his schemes of defense and of
tense; he has the players running
perfectly on the sacks; he is mixing
up his attack, and, in all. he is win
ming.
They Hustle for New Boss.
Look how Hickey has improved Gus
Williams. Last year Gus was a
farce; he couldn't catch fly ball; oc-
casionally he hit to the outffeld wall.
but once Gus arrived on first base
he blocked everything ahead and be-
hind him. Now Gus is one of the most
improved players .in the American
League.
The pitching staff is the same
Branch brought Earl Hamilton back
to the Browns, After he Kansas south,
paw decidedg he, @pufd not return
when he was kidHapea by George Sto.
vail. and has Earl twirling as bril-
liantly as any bf the best bets in the
circuit. It's tie same way all around
the team. II
And it is nothing but the confidence
Branch has IN his players, himself and
his methods.
: Many veteran players this spring
stated that ii would BE- impossible for
Hickey to enforce his laws and regu-
latlons; that the players would cheat
on the antiliquor clause; would smoke
cigarettes, and that if they couldn't
play the indoor sport-poker-legi
mately, they would hike away to some
dark corner and mix with the cards.
Hickey mapped out his own rules.
Neither Connie Mack nor Hughey
Jennings offered Branch any advice;
the Browns are in the first division
today; they are ahead of the Yankees,
Red Sox. Maps and White Sox, teams
that finished far in front of the
Browns in 1918.
