FORMER ATHLETIC STARS
HAVE FAILED AS MANAGER
Up to Jack Barry, Now Leaders of
Red Scx to Shake Off the Old Jinx

Can Jack Barry, the new manager
of the Boston Red Sox, shake off the
hoodoo which has pursued other
graduates of the Mack school who have
tried their hand at the managerial end
of the game? Or will Barry's uncanny
worlds series luck bring him new
fame and fortune in his new capacity?
They are interesting queries and Bos-
ton awaits their solution with unusual
concern.
Connie Mack unquesttonably Is one
of the shrewdest managers in the his
tory of baseball, and his feat Of win
ming six remnants and three worlds
championships stands unequaled.
Mack, unlike McGraw, permits his
players to develop their own individ-
uality. Connie h&s brought out some
mighty smart ball players, yet there
is not a, single former Athletic player
who has ever made a success OF run
ming a ball club.
Harry Davis, for years captain of
the team and Mack's right hand man
ever since he came to Philadelphia,
tried his hand at managing the Cleve-
land club in 1912, but was not even
permitted to finish out the season, Civ
ing way to Joe Birmingham in the
latter part of the campaign.
Then there was Monte Cross, Bar
rvs predecessor, as Athletic shortstop
and a player of much the same type
as Barry Monte was not much of a
hitter but likely to come through in
the pinch, but he won his greatest
KdllS Dy his unCdnny ABILITY IN the
short field. Monte was also a very
smart ball player and was to be
groomed for a big league managerial
job in Kansas City. However after
two seasons of failure in Kansas City
Monte went down a peg and tried his
luck in Class B. but he did no bet
ter in Scranton than in Kansas City.
Then he went to umpiring.
Both of the two quaint outfie1ders
Of the Athletic champions of 1902 and
1905, the white-haired Topsy Hartzel
and the big plump Socks Seybold, also
made fzzles of their attempts to
manage teams in the American ASSOC
citation. Both tried their luck in To-
5edo, the team now bossed by Roger
Bresnahan. Seybold was appointed to
the Toledo post by 1909. and despite
his failure, Toledo was willing to give
another Mackman a trial. Hartfiel
managed the club IN 1912, but was no
more successful than Socks.
Lave Cross, who was captain of the
1912 and 1915 champion teams. man
aged several teams in the deep sticks |
without ever getting anywhere.
However, most of these players be-
longed to the old Athletics and were |
severing their connections with the
club around the time Barry was
breaking in. There seems to be sew |
eral players of the more famous team,
the champions of 1910. 1911, 1913 1914, |
who might make successful managers. |

winter which will be permitted by the
adjustment committee of the city gov
eminent if conducted in right way.
In bout the best out of three, HON.
er Monty threw Young Bijou with APP
parent ease. although Bijou was the
heaviest.
Jack Monty outboxed HI Ladd in a
six round bout which was a spirited
contest, furnishing kood. clean boxing
and exciting moments. Both boxes
mivxed it up pretty well and broke
clean on the clinches. Monty toyed
with Ladd at times but Hi had the
wa1lop and used it to effect several
times.
The star attraction of the evening
was the wrestling match and it was a
star exhibition. No one had any right
to kick oyer the demonstration which
Lunstrom and Ventus quot forth. Both
men worked to their upmost and were
on the verge several times of being
downed but through sheer gameness
and wonderful footwork managed to
save themselves until after struggling
Lundstrom landed the decision hold
which was a combination toe and nell
son.
The evenings exhibitions were ref
erred by Red Fitzgerald, who has had
considerable experience in officiating
in New Haven. He kept things stir
ring and was ever on his job. He
donated his services free of charge and
when there was question about a box
ing exhibition he offered his services.
Red wants to see the boxing game
thrive in this city and is ready to pro-
mote it as much as he can.

HAUGHToN cRITicIZEs STAND
TAKEN BY PLAYERS FRAT
Believes Present Situation Will Cause
Slight Annoyance.

Boston, Jan. 14.-Percy D. Haughton,
president of the Boston National
League baseball club, issued a state
ment tonight criticizing the Baseball
Players Fraternity in requesting its
members to withhold their signatures
from major league contracts until the
fraternity's troubles with the minor
leag CUES have been adjusted
NO major league club owner" he
said, believes the present situation
will result more seriously for the ma
jor leagues than temporary annoy

No major league club owner" he
said, believes the present situation
will result more seriously for the ma
jOr leagues than temporary annoyance.
THE frateTnity's grievance IS not
with major league clubs nor with the
national commission, but with the Ma
tional Association of Minor Lea CUES
and it's national board. 1t should be
borne in mind that the major leagues
have absolutely no voice in the man
aSement or control of the National
Association an entirely independent
organization.
Il believe the fraternity cannot
make any stronger move in popular
estimation than to relea Sc the mem
berS from their obligations to refuse
to sign major league contracts at this
time and to devote its efforts to OBJ
tanning its concessions from minor
leagues by direct deaI.r~ With the
National Association Of Minor League
Clubs in whatever manner seems most
desirable to the fraternity. l believe
that there never was a time when a
closer rela tionship existed between the
club owners and players than right
now and I should regret very much if
the players. through their fraee~ ritz
should persist in anv attitude toward
the club owners that micht cause even
the slightest trace Of passive ill-feel-
ing"

RUBEN STRONG ADVOCATE
OF "DAYLGHT SAVING" PLAN
Thinks Sixty Minutes of Sport IN the
Sunshine Would be Beneficial.

New York, Jan. 14.-Athletfcs would
be greatly stimulated throughout the
country if the daylight saving plan
were adopted, according to a state
ment here tonight by Fred w. Ruben,
secretary treasurer of the Amateur
Athletic Union.
Under present working hours" said
Mr.. Ruben. thousands of youths who
have latent athletic ability are de-
prived of the opportunity of exercis-
ing in the sunlight. Their days work
is finished too late for them to get
out on the track and practice before it
is dark. But by ending their days
work an hour earlier by the sun, the
chance to train in the daytime would
be theirs.
Those sixty minutes of sunlight on
the links, tennis courts and at the ball
game and the seashore, too, should
result in a craze for outdoor diver
sions sweeping the country. And once
the public as a whole takes up outdoor
exercise in the sunlight, at that time
you will see a material development in
the physical well-being of the people"
Mr. Ruben said he expected to at
tend the National Daylight Saving
Convention to be held in this city jan
uary 80 and 81 and endorse the move
ment from the health standpoint"

The hall was just beginning to fill

TYNDALE MINING co.
A NEW CORPORATION

Following the sale of the Manila
group of properties and the Bonney
extension mine to w. T. McCaskey and
eastern associates, as announced in the
Liberal last week, the Tyndale Copper
Mining Company has been organized
with a capital of $250,000 to develop
. and work these properties.
Preliminary work under the charge
of mining engineer James p. Porteus
has already been begun on the Manila
shaft of the Tyndale Copper Mining
company's property and the present
work will consist of putting the shaft
which is 270 feet in depth, into good
working shape, the catching up of all
loose ground and a close sampling of
the several exposures of high grade
ore, on the 35, IS, and 270 foot levels.
An effort will be made at once to pick
up the main vein of the Bonney mine
which is easily traced into the Manila
and the BOnney extension ground
owned by this company.
The East end of the Bonney prop
erty, that joins the Manila ground
is producing the highest grade ore
