How many playing managers will

son? F. D.
Herzog of Cincinnati is the only
major league manager who expects to
play regularly. Higgins may be at
second base occasionally for his team
and Donovan may pitch now and then
for the Yankees, but they hardly can
be classed as playing managers Tin

James Useless Last Year.

In summing UP the great amount of
membered that he didn't do any pitch
ing until May ., and then worked only
four innings: to be exact. during the
first four weeks of play James pitched
only six innings. During the next
month James took part in only eight
games, of which he lost four. 1t was
not until the middle of June that
James hit his winning stride and began
to get his share of work and then
some. In his next twenty-five games he
accomplished the remarkable feat of
winning twenty-five of them. Thus it
can be seen that the season for James
and that in reality most of his work
was done in the last four months of
play.
a bad arm put James out of the run
ming last year. His loss to the pitching
staff really killed the chances of the
Braves to repeat. Just what really
allied the pitching arm of James will
probably never be known. A fellow
with his remarkable physique would
appear to be the one pitcher in the
business who ought to stand plenty of
work. which means pitching about
every third day. There are some who
insist that James weakened his arm in
1914; others will say that he must
have injured it during the of season,
while quite few incline to the belief
that the post-season trip taken by a
number of star players at the close of
the big series had much to do with put
ting the great pitcher out of the run
ming. Whether every third day is too
still a question to be decided. At that.
a number of managers must think so,
from the way they work their pitching

Mack Has Deterrent System.

Connie Mack, one of the greatest
managers of all times, won the pen
nant for the Philadelphia club in 1914
by using a system that differed rad
ically from that employed by STALL
ings. Mack selected the spots for his
pitchers with far more care He
doped out the situations, closely pc
rused the scores of the past season
or two, and used the various pitchers
against the clubs he believed they
had the best chance of beating. 1t is
a rather strange fact that pitchers
as rule have one or more stubs
which are hard for them to beat.
clubs easy picking. Mack followed
the form sheet closely in this respect,
Against certain club he might use
pitcher twice, and then against the
next club he wouldn't be called upon.
often pitcher on Nack's staff may
go five, six or seven games without
being called upon to start a game. If
Mack knows club is at all weak
against left-handers. he always makes
it a point to use them. / have seen him
often work TWO left-handers twice in a
four game series.
IL mas long been a custom of most
managers TO use an ordinary pitcher
recruit against some big star of the
pitchers. Managers realize the odds are
greatly against their winning with

The records show that during his big

many a reverse at the hands of some

This suit of ur-trimmed broadcloth is as handsome and as smart as any that could be suggested for street wear. The coat is a very new one with a flsring circular pcplum and per- fectly plain-fitting body portion. This body portion, however, may be made with straight or a shaped front cdge and it also shows q distinctive feature in the back where the outside is cut longer than the lining and extends over the peplum while the peplum is joined to the lining. Here, the pep. lum is cut with point at the front and one at the back, but it may be made straight or with points at the sides. The skirt is in two pieces, pcr- fectly plain at the waist line, but flarine prettily at the lower edge. Broadcloth is particularly a favorite this season but this is a model which could be copied in vclvetcen, which ia much used, or in wool velours or any suitable material. If the deep cuffs are not liked, plain sleeves may be used ill their stead. Velvet or vel- veteen with fur used just as it is hero would make an exceedingly handsoma costume.
 For the medium size the coat will require, AZ yards of material 36 inches wide, or 4I yards Al, or 32s yards 54, with 27s yards of fur banding 4 inches wide and 1A yards II inches wide; for the skirt will be required 3H yards 36, or 213 yards A or 54, with 3 yards of fur banding.
