M'CREDIE TELLS
JUST WHAT HE'D
LIKE THIS YEAR
Is Judge McCredie Of Portland

Is Judge McCredie of Portland
coming into the Northwestern
league with an idea that he is go
ing to be the whole works?
That's what some OF the other
moguls of the circuit are wonder
ing these days. The veteran own
err of the Portland Coast league
club is busy giving out interviews
down in Portland about the things
needed to bolster up the North
western, and he is generally be-
coming one of the busiest bodies
connected with the league. If
Judge McCredie tries to run things
Thursday when the franchise own
ers of the league hold their an
nual mid-winter session in Seattle,
he's liable to bump up against a
few old birds who know just as
much baseball as he ever will.
Mercedes latest outburst is an
announcement that he wants 20
weeks of baseball in the North
western league. or course he
does. So do all the other mag
mates. But most of them don't
expect it, SO they're keeping still
about the length of the coming

Last season the Northwestern
league tried to run "a 20-week
schedule. 1t started in the latter
part of April and gave up the fight
in July, the season lasting just IL
weeks. Team owners don't know
what to expect this year, so all of
them except McCredie are sitting
tight and waiting for the big meet
ing this week.
There is liable to be a struggle
at the Thursday session, but this
one won't affect McCredie. Most
Of the league moguls are in favor
of dropping Vancouver this year,
and making a six-team circuit
with teams representing Tacoma,
Seattle, Portland. Spokane. Butte

likely to quit the league without
a fight, and it would be impossi-

BENCH MANAGERS
FAVORED in DOPE

The appointment of Jack Hen
bricks as manager of the st. Louis
Cardinals leaves but one vacancy
to be filled In the managerial
ranks for 1918.
Jack Barry's place must be
filled in Boston, for Barry is in
the navy and there is no chance
that he will get back into baseball
for the coming season.
The passing of Barry as a man
ager is one of the most Interesting
phases of the coming baseball year
for 1t marks the displacement
of the last player manager in the
big leagues.
The passing of the player-man-
ager is one of the most interesting
questions in baseball. A few years
ago magnates would have none of
the bench manager. He was not
q direct asset on the field and

meant an additional financial
load. Player-managers could be
hired as cheaply as bench mana
gers and filled their regular place
in the lineup thus dispensing with
the salary of a player.
1t is not many years ago wheS
practically every manager filled
his place upon the ball field.
Then the magnates began to fig
ure that perhaps manager would
be more successful if he could de-
vote his entire time to directing
the club on the field and not be
forced to divide his generalship
with mechanical playing.
When the 1917 season opened
there was only one player-man-
ager, Jack Barry and there are
many who believe Jack would
have been more successful had he
devoted his entire time to manag-
ing his team.
