Few Pitchers
Good Pilots

II Ia a rather interesting fact
that few major league pitchers
ever take up the managerial
game.
Seldom has n major league club
ever been successfully handled by
a playing pitcher. or ono who has
outlived his usefulness on the
rubber. Clarke Griffith. best OF
all pitcher.managers. had a rath.
or tempessuous career.
Christy Mathewson IL one OF the
few great pitchers who tried the
managerial game after he became
passe as a pitcher. He met with
only fair success in handling the
Cincinnati club.
Catchers seem to predominant
as managers. In tho National
league Bin Kiliifer at Chicago.
Pat Moran at Cincinnati. Branch
Hickey at 81, Louis. Wilbcrt Rob
insor1 at Brooklyn and Fred
Mitchell at Boston. all learned
the fine points OF the game back
of the bat.
In the American league Che
managerial honors are dfvlded
