RLxEY'S MEAN SINGLE,
DUNCAN'S H0M Me run
FEATURE CARD Defeat

CINCINNATI, O., April 21.--Smash-
ing a wicked single with Fonseca on
second base, Rixey won his own game
in the last performance OF the Cards
in the present trip. The drive was
mighty one and would have been good
for three bases If 1t had been needed.
Fonseca led off with a single and
was advanced to second by sacrifice
hit by Crane Haines purposely
passed Wingo 10 get at Rixey, who
upset the plans and crashed out his
wicket smash.
There we're several other features In
the game in addition to the winning
blow delivered by Rixey. Pat Duncan
contributed the first home run of the
season on Redland field in the eighth
frame when he drove the ball to deep
left for the circuit, after two men were
out, and it looked as It would be the
winning run.
Sam Crane hunted as though the
team had been doing nothing but
bunting during the training season,
laying down three perfect sacrifice
hits. Fonseca and Bohne did some
good work on the defensive in the
field. Lavan and Toporcer We're tow
ers of strength for the Cards.
Reds Get Away.
The Reds got away to the front in
the opening round when Paskert
singled ard went to second on Dau-
berts fly and to left by fine piece OF
base running. reached third when
Toporcer booted Bohne's grounders
and scored on Bresslers sacrifice fly
to left.
The Cards went out in order in the
first but went ahead in the second.
With one gone McHenry singled to
center and Bohne made a great play
on Lavan's grounder over the bag and
forced McHenry at second, but F'on-
SEGA threw wild to first in an attempt
to complete double play. Singles
followed by Dilhoefer and Toporcer
produced two runs.
Rixey pitched great bsn until the
seventh, when an error of judgment
BY himself allowed the enemy to tie
up the count Lavan and Dilhofer led
off with singles. Topcrcer hunted
down the third base line and Eppa
made the mistake OF trying for force
out at third, with the result that he
did not get any one. Haines popped
out to Fonseca and Heathcote forced
Toporcer at second and Lavan scored
the tieing run on the play. Dilhoefer
was caught off third for the final out.
Knocks Homer.
Duncan knocked his homer in the
eighth and the Cards tied it up at
their turn at the bat in the ninth.
Fonseca got McHenry on a great play
but Duncan failed to get under Lavan's
long fly and it went for three bases.

Great Players, Great Manager,
Necessary For Winner--Menke

over the records of the Giants and
John McGraw.
The scrappy leader took charge Of
the team along in 1902. The outfit
had finished last in 1900, second last
in 1901 and absolutely last in 1902. In
the first years of McGraw's complete
management, the Giants landed second
and the following year-1904-they
achieved pennant heights. They re-
peated in 1905.
Doesn't that prove that it's the man.
ager who does it? Sure-thats the
answer-until one carries on a little
father and discovers that although
the Giants had the very same leader
in 1915, they finished absolutely last.
And that was two years after they
had won pennant and only one year
after they had given the Braves a
mighty tussel into the 1914 stretch.
If it's the manager. why did the
Giants finish in the 1915 cellar? Why
couldn't, McGraw-if hes the man who
made the Giants great-do likewise
with his 1915 outfit? Certainly he
hadn't shot his managerial bolt by that
time. He still possessed leadership
greatness as is shown by the fact
that two years later lie won another
flag.
With the Giants, isn't 1t a case of
the players rather than the manager?
How About Cleveland?
But il you want to toss the glory to
the players, how about the Cleveland
outfit of years ago? Lajoie-at his
very best-Hickman, the mighty slug
ger, Bradley, one Of the greatest third
basemen of all time; Bemis, superb
catcher: Fisk, the demon clouter;
Bay, the f1eetest of all outfielders :;
Joss, peerless moundsnIan--all were in
the lineup at one time. The team
ranked them as the most terrific hit
ting in history. 1t had a great back
stopping department., splendid pitch
ers. remarkable fielders but it
couldn't win a pennant.
So before you decide that IT'S the
players who win pennants, why
couldn't that all powerful Cleveland
club do it a dozen and more years
ago?
And how about the 1920 Yankees ?
Third place was its position. Yet the
crew shattered all team records as
regards home runs. 1t was led by
the greatest slugger IF all time, who
punched out "a circuit swats. The
Yanks hit for $50, made 115 homers
scored an average of nearly runs per
game. had the $4,000 Carl Mays and
a galaxy of other great hurlers on the
mound--still they couldn't win.
All of which ought to dem onstrate
that its neither the players nor the
,nanager-that a winner is n team
possessed of great players director by
a great manager. The players can't
win without a real manager-and a
manager can't win without real play

rs it the manager or the players
who make a pennant winner?
Back in 1918, George Stallings took
unto himself the leadership of the
Boston Braves. They had been hope
less tailenders for period of time
approximating Methusaleh's age. Yet
one season later 1914-the Braves, only
q trifle unchanged from 1912 Or 1918
crashed and pounded their way to the
absolute heights of the baseball world
All of which would indicate that it's
the manager who makes flag grabbers

bridges of time since then. Seven full
seasons have come and gone and yet
since 1914, NO team of Connie Mack
ever has been able to climb out of the
cellar.
How About Failures?
If, as can be contended in Stalling's
case, the manager made the team, how
come the seven success sive and atroc
ious failures of the leader who, ir
1914, was heralded as one of the most
remarkable Of all time?
The Phillies under the management

Chips and Slips

DR.. Mesnwell' of Wisconsin, is
named rightly.
He may mean well by his suggestion !
that the free throw in basketball for
fouls be eliminated, but that is all that
many fans of the great winter sport
can see in this move.
DR.. Meanwen says that the throwing
of fouls often determines the result OF
a hard fought game, where as team
work always should be the deciding
factor. He wants the free throw done
away with and would replace them by
giving one point to the offended side
when a personal foul is called, and
give the ball to the opposite side when
technical foul is called.
In reading these suggestions of the
doctor, the average fan wonders if he
ever refereed basketball game.
Meanwell's suggestion puts a game
F.! in the hands of a referee, and the Lord
pity the poor referee-who would call
d personal foul that would give team
point, without any kind of a chance,
with the score tied and a minute to
play-no one else would.
It is much better to leave the game
hinge on the eye sight and skill of one
player than on the sight of tie
arbiter.
There may be some good arguments
for this change, but the true old
timers fail to see them. Itseems. that
basketball is getting along pretty we'll
in this state and everybody seems to
! be enjoying it, SO why tinker with it
| There are surely a few normal indi-
viduals left who are satisfied with
things as they are.
