BR ANCH RICKEY GIVEN CREDIT
FOR GOOD SHOWING OF BROWNS
Criticised First for Original Methods, But Praise Is
Now Coming His Way From
All Quarters.
All Quarters.

Jack O'Connor, Bobby Wallace and
George Stovall failed to accomplish.
Hickey is a peculiar fellow, but that 8
probably the most important trait on his
road to success. He's different from any
one else we've seen in major league base
ball for seventeen years
A Few Ideas on January l.
A three-column story was printed in
the January l, 1914. issue of the
Sporting News concerning 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 Rickeys answers:
Il. How shall you handle your men
firm? Or shall you speak to their
sense of right 20 give the club their
most worthy services?
Answer Impossible to give categor-
ical answer; depends entirely upon the
man, the offense. the time. the place.
how he feels and how I feel.
''2. You do not play ball or don your
uniform on Sundays. Would you cen
feel about the Sabbath in :he same
manner as yourself?
Answer. The st. Louis American
League Base Ball Company sign the
players to their contracts. Beyond a
doubt both parties will observe their
contract.
"3. Have the Browns the material to
rank higher than eighth?
Answer. The Browns have twelve
old players and twenty-five new ones.
do not know the new men. The
twelve old ones are too good to be in
last place.
"A. Do you think the past manage
ment has failed to pull the fGll
strength from the Browns?
Answer. I have never made criticism
of any past manager and know COM
paratively little of the material each
had"
Just a sample of big package put ae-
fore Branch Hickey by the correspond
ent of the Sporting News back on
January ].
1t will be noted that not in one case
did Branch attack his predecessors:
that he had confidence in himself that
Evening star., 1914-06-08

the Browns would not finish last, and
that he cleverly evaded the smack OF
criticism directed toward him for not
But Branch hickey has succeeded
with his methods. Surely one cannot
see where there is much added paper
strength on this years team over the
one George Stovall had in the spring
of 1913. In fact, this spring we judged
the 1913 club to have been better than
the 1914 team.
For instance, anyone would pick
George stovall as better first base
man than Jack Leary, recruit: would
say the crew of shortstops outclassed
Clyde Wares; that the catching staff
with Walter Alexander and Bill Nc
Allester, assistant to Sam Agnew, ap-
peared stronger than the present one,
and that even the pitching staff looked
to be more formidable than the one
Branch Hickey owns today.
However, Hickey has introduced his
ideas; he has the players carrying out
his schemes of defense and offense; he
has the players running perfectly on
the sacks: he is mixing up his attack,
and. in all. he is winning.
They Hustle for New Boss.
Look how Rickey has improved Gus
Williams. Last year Gus was a farce;
he couldn't catch fly ball; occasionally
he hit to the outfield wall, but once Gus
arrived on first base he blocked every
thing ahead and behind him. Now Gus
is one of the most improved players in
the American League.
The pitching staff Is the same. Branch
has the curvers hustling. for him; he
brought Earl Hamilton back to the
Browns after the Kansas southpaw de-
clared he would not return when he was
kidnapped by George Stovall, and has
Earl twirling as brilliantly as any of
the best bets in the circuit. It's the same
way all around the team.
And it is nothing but the confidence
Branch has in his players, himself and
his methods
Many veteran players this spring stated
that it would be impossible for Rickey to
enforce his laws and regulations; that
the players would cheat on the anti
liquor clause: would smoke cigarettes, and
that if they couldn't play the indoor
port-noker-legitinat tely, they would
hike away to some dark corner and mix
with the cards.
Rickel mapped out his own rules.
Neither Connie Mack nor Hughey Jen-
nines 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 1913

If YOU are asked: What has caused

How comes it all? Who's the man behind
the Browns?' Just answer-Branch

in base ball, Branch Hickey now is the
1914 American League sensation. He
isn't ridiculed and he isn't given the

is being touted as a major league base
ball manager.
Six weeks were needed before Hickey
could prove to major league followers
that he was not a silly fool; that college
methods could develop winners In the big
arena, and that a rough and rowdy guy
was not necessary to the game.
Rivals "Haw-Haw" at Branch.
The appointment of Hickey as manager
of the Browns last autumn. when he sue
ceeded George Stovall. man with years
of experience, caused fun for the rival
folks More fun was had this spring.
when Hickey announced his ideas for
training big league ball players.
Then when Branch announced from the
training camp that cigarettes. liquor, 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.
The general impression was that college
stuff never could go in the big league.
and that no manager could rule a ball
player in such a ladylike way.
But Branch Rickey's college methods
and his ideas of managing have the
Browns winning ball games. have the
club in the first division. which Jim Nc
