ALL IN MANAGER
Baseball Teams Can't Win
Without Directing Head.
Cubs Under Chance Were a
Notable Exception.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York, June 13.-Does the
manager make the ball club? Or does
the ball club make the manager?
Few students of the grand old ma
tional craze will hesitate to answer
the first question in the affirmative
for it is generally agreed that the
ball club without a shrewd and capa-
BILE manager seldom gets any place.
There are a few, however. who will
point to the records and tell you that
there have been instances where the
ball club made the manager, and per-
haps the most vivid incident of this
kind will be cited in the old Chicago
Cubs. champions of the National
league in 1906. 1907. 1908 and 1910.
The baseball fiends, or most of
them. have agreed for some time that
Frank Chance made a success because
the Cubs, at the time he inherited
them. were solidly built and ready for
"A triumphal march thru the old
league. 1t is a matter of record that
James A. Hart really got the great
Cub team together. When Chance
stepped into the harness the playing
