JOHNNY O0bbS
NOW PILOT FOR
FOURTH Time

|I \ assuming responsibility for The
destinies of the New Orleans Pc
leans for the 1914 season, Johnny
Dobbs is undertaking his fourth ma n
agerial project. 1t marks his third
berth as a pilot in the Southern
League.
Johnny's first managerial positio n
was with Nashville, in 1906 After re :
manning out OF baseball for several
years. following his withdrawal from
the Dodger fold because OF eye trou-
Bile, the Boy Pilot assumed the man
agerial role at the Tennessee Capt.
tai, but remained but one year He
was succeeded by Bill Bernhard.
Johnny's next venture AS a pi!ot
was with Chattanooga, in 1909, when,
as the head of the famous Lookouts,
he ran away with the bunting in the
SALLY League and necessitated a di-
vision OF the season. But this was
not all-be took his same brand Of
sluggers and defeated the Crackers
the best four out of seven for the
championship of Dixie.
The next year, 1910, found Johnny
still in the local burg, but after d
peculiar season, in which the clue
slumped in the latter part of the sea-
son after having a commanding lead
in the middle OF May, the Boy Leader
severed his affiliations with the local
outfit.
Montgomery was the next scene OF
his activities. his retention Of the
managerial berth there covering three
seasons.
Now comes Dobbs' last and latest
berth at New Orleans as successor 90
Cholly Frank His future in the
Crescent City is considered extreme
ly bright and roseate, according TO
the present outlook. Johnny's work
at Montgomery, considering the OBJ
stacles he encountered, was nothing
short Of miraculous and attracted at
tention not only in all minor circles,
but in the majors. In securing Dobbs
as a pilot, the Pelican fans are OBJ
tanning a leader who was wanted by
FIVE other clubs in the Southern
League and by two in the majors.
Johnny's career as a. player has
been far more extensive than as a.
pilot His first professional engage
ment was with Wheeling. in the Cen
trsl Lea que, IN 1900. He then sp-
peared in Cincinnati, Chicago and
Brooklyn. being at the time he retire d
perhaps the sursst fielder in the par
ent organization.

0RCAN|ZEDbALL
MAY MOVE INTO
FED TERRITORY
Chicago Outlaw Team in Danger
of Having Another Club to
Fight Against,
By Bill Bailey.

~HICAGO, Jan. 12.-Take a squint
at the buried ace In the hands
of organized baseball.
The Federal League is to have a
club on the North Side, with Joe
Tinker at the head. All right! Or
sanized baseball sits back and
watches developments. IL the third
league is a frost, there is loud guf-
faw. Everybody says he knew 1t
and a few real stars wonder how in
INTO the organized game.
But if it is a go from the start,
hen watch organized baseball. The
r.sidents of the North Side wake up
some fine morning and discover that
.hev have two clubs in their vicinity
where they had but one. The Fed
oral is still there. But organized
baseball has thrown another club
INTO the territory.
Get the idea? If the North Size
hub begins to cost the SoX and the
, ubs too much money, the Federals
viii have competition right at their
joor. And you can wager that the
opposition will be the kid that will
hurt, too. Said opposition will he
!epresented by ball club that con-
iains some stars, and strong enough
To give the third league club a run
.ur its life.
IT may be a loser. But organized
baseball will be called upon -
pocket the loss. And when that is
rrorated it won't amount to SO much
at that.
The scheme is under consideration.
Even the league which will produce
the team has been discussed Ii 9
gone further than that, and the team
in the league has been considered.
More than that, baseball men have ar
idea that Gunther Park could be Sc
cured as site for the fight.
II may be the Minneapolis ciEo
which will be brought into this vi
Unity to give battle to the Federals,
or it may be the St. Paul team. Both
are Of the American Association.
Here is the scheme. Surprising th2 :
the Federal is a go from the start ana
il becomes evident that the third team
!, going to cut into the American and
National League club. There's a
meeting of men in organized base
ball, one of these teams is selected to
make the fight, with the consent %
the owner, of course.
LIE shows what he did in financial
II way with his team the previous
year Then he is instructed to 60
along, throw his team into the North
side. and if there is a deficit it will
aome from the war fund. He'll hc
Guaranteed against any possible loss
and will be assured of earning Just
As much as if he remained in his own
terrtory.
On top of that he will be given
q ball team that will put up the brand
of baseball that the third league does.
rhe practical baseball man knows
mat the fan does not care a great
deal what the color of the uniforms
are or to what league the club belongs
% as long a 5 the baseball is on dis
play.
That's the ace in the hole. and the
men in organized baseball believe that
second club on the North Side
would draw sufficiently to make the
foderals a bad investment.
In which event they would be well
'atisfed even if they were compelled
10 dig into their pockets and make
10 q loss for their own team.
