Interesting Controversy
 Over zSwiTnn1ing Strokes

TT F. MEYNELL. one of Great Brit
 aims leading swimming experts, is the author of a recently published article in which he expresses skep- ticism regarding the value of the American developed trudgeon- crawl stroke and attempts 50 prove its weak points. Controversy has sprung from the attack.
 MT. MeyneI begins by critfcising the style of his own countryman, J, H. Hatfield, who has adopted the new stroke and broken many records with it, including the worlds record for one mile. Then he goes on: t

Cobb & Co. were made during 1911 with JN De1ehanty as filler in. This great trio made 649 base hits. The total number made by the team stood 1,546. There are just four records in the history of the game which excel the above mentioned record, and they were all made during the season of 1887, under the four strike rule
 One of the sluggtng combinations to make a. record was Tip O'Neal, Rob inson and Charlie Coniskey of the St Louis Browns. In the season of 1887 these three made 700 hits. The best record ever made in this respect was created by Pete Browning, Red Mack and Hub Collins of the old Louisville club in 1887. They raised the St Louis com nbinatton's mark by twenty points. making 72o hits. which is the record for all time. The old Baltimore team of 1885 6-7 had a. great slugging coFnr bination in Keeler, Jennings and Kelly The great trio of the. Philadelphia Nationals from 1891 until 1895 were Delehanty. Thompson and Hamilton and later Lajoie was added. They were wreckers Of ball games, also of the hopes of many hurlers.

 In the American league teams hav- ing a battery of heavy arttllerists ere scarce. The great trio of slugsers who carried the men of Mack on to many victories are scattered. Collins, Baker and McInnis were a much feared com bination, and hurlers had good reason to quake when facing them For four seasons this bunch led all the slug ging trios in the American, but the De- troit three have held the honor ih i've different years, Crawford and Cobb always forming the main oIensiva force.

That" ayers one, 'tis another hit for Eddie.'' A
 "A hit?" protests the other. Why, man, that's a boot How're you going to figure hit out of that?''
 This is what the code says in section of rule 85:
 "A base hit shall be recorded in the following cases:
 WhenNthe ball from the bat strikes the ground on or. within the foul lines and out of reach of the heIders, provid- ed the batter reaches first base safely.
 When a fair hit ball is partially or wholly stopped by a fielder in motion, but such player cannot recover him. self in time to field the ball to first before the striker reaches that base or to force out another base runner.
 When the ball is hit with such force to an infielder or pitcher that he can not handle it in time to put out the batsman or force out a base runner. In a case of doubt over this class of hits base hit should be scored and the fielder exempted from the charge of an error. ~ f.,,.,. a;,-. ,,..,s5 3a

drive may go straight into a delder'p hands, while a ball not hit half 60 nca eurate1y may be just out of reach and result in a base hit and a run. These things, however, all average up vlry fairly in the course of season
 No team ever won a pennant on lucky breaks or ever win. Luck bay decide. a game or two now and then, but the average will be just the sand winner. The breaks that can be guV- erned by the player are those in which the pitcher or fielder or batter is 1t- fected by some slight occurrence.
 An unexpected hit by a weak bat ter, who was counted on as an eaETl out, may furry the pitcher and cause, him to weaken and grow wild or in- effective, resulting in a winning rally for the other side. This is the lrlno oL break that could be avoided if +ho pitcher had nerve and mental power enough to overcome the sudden sur prise of the hit from the batter who was not supposed to make one.
 Often when a fielder is not hitting hil fielding game is badly affected, and he makes errors which he would never think of committing if he was hint ng the ball well. The man of real pervr and courage continues his good neld- ing. even when he is in the worst E-no of batting slump When 8 Aol der fumbIes a ball and consequently has to make a hurried throw he is very lps to throw wild-that is. one mistake easily leads on to another.
 It is breaks of this kind that can pa prevented, and the team that can geo along without them is the one chat % going to win out iD the long season

ming, however, it may be pointed oul that MeyneIl is absolutely wrong when he claims that the added crawl thrta affords no chance to relax The first half of both upward and downWord sweeps of the legs should be made with energy, the second half of both slowly. without muscular tension. In other words, there is ample opportunity tC of power.
 'ewhen all is said 1t seems rather a. logical to attempt to prove that fht trudgeon- crawl is not available iol distance swimming, in view of tho L iCt that its opponents are using it ulcr cessfully over Marathon courses"

Is It the Manager or the
 Players That Make q Team? !?

HOES good manager make a ball
 /club, or. on thE opposite side of the debate. does a good ball club make manager?
 With the unseemly trouble sustained by McGraw,S Mack, Griffith, Stanings and others this season the old argu- ment as to the comparative value of manager and materiai has returned in force Part of the experts insist that good ball club makes a good mana ger. and another part still contends that good manager means a good ball club. as the manager is over 50 per cent of the combination
 Lust as there is a blend4in the value af batting, pitching. and fielding so is there a blend in the value of a man. ager and his material A bad manager can soon wreck good material. And a good manager can never hurl poor ma feria1 to the front. McGraw, Mack and Stallingsr can do better with aver age material than most others, but not even McGraW, Mack and StaIlings can it for the skill and speed and power needed in a pennant drive.
 One of Best Answers.
 But the main answer is here: A poor manager will rarely ever build up a winning club. whereas a good man ager in time will get the material and fnstin the needed instruction and nor ale required to finish in front. This is proved by the records that show McGraw and Mack with five pennants won with different Hneups, where after one machine had collapsed they were able to build up another fast enough to go the distance.
 One point at hand is the case of C. Rowland and the Chicago White Sox. Have the Sox made Rowland look like great manager?
 Rowland had little to do with the building up of the White Sox machine He was lucky enough to start with a winning combination. But, on the ott- ST paw. having started with this com- bination, he has shown ability at di- recting it's ways.
 Which proves again that it takes managerial ability plus the material to sEin and that neither can arrive where tae other is missing.
 Both Must Be Good.
 There must be a high average blend between the manager and his material, just as baseball itself is a blend of bat ting, fielding, pitching. base running and team play.
 Hard hitting clubs have finished in tf1an Lsecend dfvisI0rase So have clubs with fine pitching and good fielding. The winning club is the one that has the best of the blend, not the best of any one or two departments.
 Connie Mack has had ball clubs fn- fish as low as sixth place, whereas Jake StahI has won world champion ship. Which is one answer as tQ man. ss ai.s sk.sis 5ss.ssa.s sss...ss s..s a ,w

 'tMeynen argues against himself" Meffert said recently, when he tells of Hatfield's faults of action. If a cer- tain stroke enables a swimmer to break worlds records in spite of poor form it is obviously superior to any other.

What Is a Base Hit2 .
 This Question Cause
 Of Much Wrangling

WHAT is a base hit, and why and
 when? asks a baseball writer
 It is one of the surprising things of the frequently surprising game of baseball that fans always differ in their opinions this question.
 Two followers of the game are sit ting together. The batter knocks a grounder to short field territory, Ehe shortstop and third baseman rush for it. The ball bounds into the short stops hands and out again He throws too late to get his man at first

The Red Sox also boast of a wonder full trio in Speaker. Lewis and Hoop CT. These three great outfielders and batters have also been going like a house af1re and haveN helped in every way to put Bill Carrigan's team right in line for the old bunting. Many ex- perts place the Sox trio ahead of the Hughey Jennings set but Old Man Dope figures the Detroit bunch much superior-that is, taking in all depart ments together-toi those who wear Boston on their shirts.

power. In the plain trudgeon the legs are idle during the glide which follows the pull of the top arm, and a good chance is then afforded to relax and rest If, however, the swimmer puts in at this moment a. crawl kick. which requires energy, he cannot get the

Perhaps the greatest slugging trio the game ever had were Ed Delehanty. Sam Thompson and Larry Lajoie. These three were on the lineup of the Philadelphia Nationals from August of 1896 until pnidsummer of the fol lowing. season and generally followed each other on the batting list.
 Since 1907 Crawford and Cobb have
