The appointment of Ty Cobb as
manager of Detroit's ballplaying
Tigers has brought up the old argu-
ment as to which counts most in the
making of a machine-the manager
or the material.
Both, of course, figure largely or
entirely in the final result.
But can a good, hustling man
ager, with ordinary material, get as
far as a poor manager with good
material?
In the long run. the good man
ager is, of course, the main founda-
tion for success. For being a good
manager. with a little luck. it will
then be his business to buy or find
the winning types needed to give
him a successful machine. Cleve-
land last season. with a poor man.
ager. wouldn't have got anywhere.
iris Speakers personal leadership
and inspiration were big factors in
the teams championship success.
where an ordinary manager would
have been lucky to finish third.
When Jennings stepped in as
leader of the Tiger team in 1907
he took over a ball club that had
finished sixth the year before. The
material was there. but 1t had been
badly directed, and the men, hav-
ing lost all interest in a hustling
game. had slumped badly. But
Hughey dashed into the program
with his whirlwind methods, lifted
his club from the rut and won three
pennants in a row.
This feat clearly established Jen.
nings' ability to handle and lead
good material. 1t proved his case
as first-class leader. But after
the winning machine had crumpled
up Hughey was never able to pu,
another winner together. He made
threatening gestures on several oc,
casions. but never quite broke
through. There was proof here thai
he could lead good material better
than he could locate and develoI
material in the raw.

COUL LON'S STRONG MAN MAGIC
TRACED TO SCIENCE OF PHYSICS

knows nothing about the science
of physics, as does Coulon. And il
would seem that the slight Johnny
is perfectly contented TO let his
thwarted lifters attribute his power
over them to hstful OF magic.
Perhaps Johnny believed this a safe
and sane way to keep the respect
of stronger men for himself.
Yesterday. without going all the
way TO Paris to see IL, we had a
demonstration Of Johnny's stunt
that applied the pins to his bubble
bag OF magic. Up at the West Side
Y. NJ. C. A. gym. DR.. Louis II. Wei7-
miller, physical director. brought
c. NJ Garrity, a local fireman
weighing 2Is pounds of solid
Drawn, and Jimmy Rogers, an
pound school boy, to-
gether to experiment in the ways
when Jimmy Rogers went
through Johnny Coulon's formula
big Garrity put on all his steam to
no avail He could not bulge the
kid an inch from the floor. Then
Jimmy let his arms hang by his
sides and the husky fireman lifted
him swiftly. Thus IL was proved
again that nothing but the mechan-
les of physics are employed in per-
forming such a feat. BY the exten-
sion of his arms Master Rogers
kept the hefty Mister Gsrrity far
enough away from his body to
throw the would-be litter OF " his
balance, which rendered him pew
erless.
Nothing works away from grav-
ity," explained DR.. Weizmiller. He
said that nothing can work unless
the center OF gravity is maintained
The leaning tower of Pisa will not
fall because it rests on its base in
such a way that il maintains Its
center of gravity" he said.
DIR. Henry Frauenthal. chief sur
geon of the Hospital Of Joint Dis
eases. Of this city, accounted foi
Coulon's trick by attributing IL &C
the use OF the mechanics OF physics
A few men OF hypnotic trenc
have also tried to account fol
Johnny's feats by crediting hin
with the power to hypnotize his
subjects, but in view Of the Garrity
Rogers demonstration yesterday
and the belief of scientists. surgeons
and other qualified judges IL appear
that Johnny Coulon has been ex
perimenting with known laws o
force and gravity instead Of work
ing magic -
