new MANAGERS
IN Big LEAGUE

Four new managers are being tried
out in the major leagues this year and
five are filling their. second terms as
pilots of the teams with which they
are connected, hence are more or less
In the experimental stage. How are
they making out?
The season of 1914 is more than half
over, but still has far enough to go to
tainf Enough has t~ranspired, however,
to give some sort Of a line on the man
agerial dope.
OF the four new managers one is
really, getting his second tryout, al
though in wholly new surroundings.
He is Hank O'Day of the Cubs. The
three real novices are Branch Hickey
of the st. Louis Browns, Charlie Herzog
of the Cincinnati Reds and Wilbert
Robinson of Brooklyn.
O'Day has reversed his previous ex-
periences as manager. In his first es-
say with the Reds the former dean of
National league umpire started his
team out with a rush, actually giving
bees for a while in the early part of
the season. Then the Reds backed up
on him and, although they finished in
the first division, they were voted a
failure by the citizens of Porkepolis
and O'Day was let out much to the sur.
prise of everybody, including himself.
OF the first year managers Branch
Hickey has been the only pronounced
uCCSSS. I1S d IL Lew "S6hS as DllOI
of the Browns last fall in which to get
his bearings and take a few soundings.
But without any previous experience
as major league manager, Hickey has
converted a near tail-end team into a
first class fighting organization with
out the addition of any appreciate
mechanical strength to the outfit that
looked so mediocre last fall.
HerzOE's Dream Fades.
Herzog started out in Cincinnati
about the way O'Day did there in 1912
and stirred the populace almost to the
explosive stage with visions of a pen
nant winning team. But the dream did
not last long before the slump came,
and down went the Reds. Desertions
and dissensions, for which HerZog may
or may not have been to, blame, wreck
ed the rosy prospects of last May and
Mincinnati is now rated among the sure
also rams.
Hard Blow for Chance.
OF the five managers who are get
ting their second year tryouts in their
present surroundings, two are veterans
of illustrious pasts. Frank Chance is
doing a bit better with the New York
Yankees than last year, but not as
much better as was expected of him..
The trouble seems to be, as last year,
lack of material with which to rebuild
the team. Owner Farrell seems willing
enough to spend the money, but 80 far
has spent 1t anything but wisely, judg-
ing by the results, and the suggestion
is being made with greater frequency
that a change in the scouting system
might help some.

Ten Inning Struggle
Won BY Virginia When
Herman Stole Home

For nine innings yesterday afternoon
the fans saw a swell ball game, then
the tenth brought disaster. Second
String Catcher Winfield heaved high
twice in that frame to catch men at
second and in each instance they went
to third. Herman was first man up in
the ninth and Colonel Bob must have
told Fait to "shoo" the third sacker
away from the plate for the first bal
hit Herman. He stole. second, went to
third on Win1eld's bum heave n then
stole home with the only run of the
ten innings,
the first inning. Fait walked Herman.
Cullis erred on Fortman's grounder and
Dries encored on that of Fremer, fill
ing the sacks with no one down. When
Herman was caught at the plate, Cullis
to Winfield. Brokaw made a feeble eff
fort and Fortman was nailed at home
Fait to Winfield. With the bases still
occupied Fait showed he wasn't "skeer-
ed" by striking out Griesch.
The contest was a pitchers battle
with the. advantage slightly in Fats
favor. The young hurler made a
splendid impression and 1t was almost
a crime that he lost such an excellently
hurled game.
Five bases were stolen on Winfield
and three of them came in the tenth,
one being the disastrous slide over the
home plate with the lone score. Win
field is good on fouls, is strong and
husky but he does not get the ball
away from him quickly on throws and
there is apparently no accelerator on
his think works.. W.
There were some bright spots in the
fielding, the catch of Griesch's long
smash along the right field foul line by
Doyle was a nice stunt and Weidel had
to go some on one of those he picked
out of the air. OF the three hits credit
ed Virginia, one was on the scratch
order and that of Sullivan was a little
pop halfway down the first base line

Wernli defeated Jackson n In the
open singles they met again ana
Jackson trimmed Wernli. Perhaps the
hardest match of the tournament was
the finals in mems singles for the cup
in the closed event. The contestants
were Wernli and Nichols, and it was
~anybody's game until the last ball was
served. Wernli finally won he match
after more than two hours Of play.
