CrisscrOss Due Again

Football is a game of evolution.
Rulemakers make changes every year,
the style OF play varies. new styles,
new plays and new tricks are de-
veloped every year by the coaches. but
every so often. the game drifts around
to old channels as far as the rules will
permit, and plays which have been
relegated to the discard for so long
that they have ben practically for
gotten, again become effective and
come into use.

Doubt of Clarence Rowland
being a manager of major league
caliber which existed in the minds
of many two weeks ago, certainly
has been eliminated by the
mastery manner in which he di-
rected the White Sox to a sue
cessful world series campaign
after driving them thru the
American league seacon to more
than one hundred victories.

As a matter OF fact Rowland gives
promise Of going better In the ma Jors
than ha Iid i'm tho r.,tnsrS npIu npna

As matter OF fact Rowland gives
promise Of going better In the ma jOrs
than he did in the minors. Only once
did he pilot minor league club to a
championship during IL years and
that was away back in 1906 when he
was leading the Dubuque Three Eye
aggregation. His first managerial Job
was with Debuque In 1908. He fin
inshed third. The next year was a
vacant one for him ant then he came
back in 1905 with a pennant. Third
was the best he would do for the neXt
seven years while he was seventh once
and eighth another time. In 1913 he
carried Dubuque to second place, led
Peoria to next to top in 1914 and
then went TO Chicago.
If Rowland had possessed a de-
pendable outfield In 1915 when he
took charge OF the White Sox he
might have landed a pennant that
season for he piloted his team Into
front, at once time looking like a sure
winner, but was forced to yield the
coveted position after about two
months because his outfield could not
deliver the goods. The next year II
was the infield. He was compelled to
experiment all season with first. short
stop and third. never securing the
desired results and when he lost to the
Red SoX in the stretch drive Chicago
and Comiskey were so disappointed
that for time II looked as II Row
land might be deposed. Comiskey,
however decided to give him another
chance. and the newcomer has made
good.
