SCRAPPIN6 MANAGER
STILL IN BASEBALL
Both Leagues Boast Of Leaders
Handy With Their Fists.
Former star Player LansRts Fact
That Game 10 Becoming Hand

Oatties Net Numerous.

Jess Burkett, former big league star
batsman, recently lamented the fact
that baseball was becoming 4 hand
shaking, institution. There IL not
enough nght In the modern game Of
baseball to suit the aggressive Jess.
Perhaps battles on the diamond are
not as numerous as they once were.
but II cannot he said that the present
condition which Burkett mourns has
been brought about entirely by the
present crop of managers, for In the
big leagues today nearly all Of the
pilots are known quantities as far as
scrapping goes.
In the American league there are
two premier performers with their
mitts in Ed Barrows Of the Red Sox
and 'Kid" Gleason Of the Chicago
White SOx. And Jimmy Burke Of the
Browns and Clarke Griffith OF the Sen
ators cannot be considered shrinking
viOlets.
The National league. however, is
much better equipped In the matter OF
fighting leaders in Hugo Bezdek of the
Pirates. John McGraw of the Giants.
Branch Hickey Of the Cardinals. Fred
Mitchell of the Cubs and George Stall

will battle. and II rumors can be cred

Connie Mack Of the Athletics, Miller
HuGGins Of the Yanks and Hughey
Jennings Of the Tigers might be
ciassed as the peaceful delegates, be-
cause they, invariably try to settle by
arbitration what the other scrappy
managers want to iron out In battle.
Age usually takes much Of the fire
Of the scrappy leaders, and even John
McGraw is inclined to let pass some
calling Incidents that only 4 couple Of
seasons ago would have sent the lit
tie Napoleon" into a hurricane Of rage.
The oficials and not the managers Of
baseball are responsible for the con-
ditions Of the present. for, as Pat No
ran says. the player who fights for his
point now is rowdy instead Of an ag-
gressive ball player.
