Milan has batted 800 or better

In 1912 his base running was the

He led that organization with So

He came right back in 1913 with IA

him the honor of being the leading

He has spent his entire major
league career with the Washington

In point OF service as a regular, he
closely rivals Tyrus Cobb of Detroit,
who came to the American league In

In 1918 Chambers took part IN the

Two years ago Chambers lost a

THREE ODD HAPPENINGS CAVE
CLYDE MILAN CHANCE TO step
|NTOMAIOR MANAGERS BOOTS

Clyde Milan has been made man
ager Of the washington team of the
American league. A year ago at this
time Clyde Milan had no thought
OF ever managing major league
ball club. He admits that himself.
Opportunity knocked at Milan's
door in a most peculiar manner.
Three very peculiar happenings are
responsible for his appointment as
manager.
George Mcbride was manager Of
the Washington team last year. lie
was doing a very good Job Of 1t. One
day. while batting grounders to the
infielders, he was struck over the
eye by thrown ball from the OUT
field. ).
The injury forced Mcbride out OF
the game for two weeks. 1t was nee
essary that the club have tempo
rary leader. Clyde Milan and Walter
johnson are the two veterans of the
team. Walter had no desire to man
age. the Job fell to Clyde.
Was Milan successful as a tempo
rary manager? He cerainly was.
Under his direction the club won IL
straight ball games, and was promi-
nently mentioned as a pennant con-
tender. The day Mcbride returned to
the team the club lost.
The injury to Mcbride was hap
pening No. /, the winning of the ii
games was happening No. 2 1t was
No. 8. however. that convinced Presi-
dent Griffith that Milan was worthy
OF a chance as manager.
Detroit was playing in Washington.
II had been customary for Heilman
to bat third in the lineup, Veach hit
ting Just back of him. On this day
a change was made in the batting
order Heilman was placed fourth IN
the lineup, but neither he nor Veach
were notified of the change.
Heilman came UP in the first in
ming in the third position and made
one of the longest hits ever seen on
the washington park the ball almost
clearing the left field fence. 1t struck
high up in the extreme end OF the
bleachers in left center. 1t was
terrific wallop.
Milan had scanned the Detroit bat
ting order as he gave the umpire
the washington lineup. AS the ball
hit in the bleachers Milan ran up to
the home plate. He conferred with
the umpire. showed that Heilman
had batted out Of order, which caused
the official to declare Veach. the
proper batsman. out. erasing He'll
mans home run.
"That one incident proved 70 me
that Milan had his head up ana was
managerial timber Is the way Presi-
dent Griffith put 1t.
All of which goes TO prove that
Milan is manager through very
peculiar chain of circumstances.
CLYDE Milan was born March 2S,
1887 at Linden, Tenn. He will oe
85 wears Of age his next birthday.
He Joined the Washington club IN
1907, coming from the Wichita clup
of the Western Association: he was
nurchased on Aug. 2S and finished
the season with the Nationals.

Many of the things mat happen in
baseball are impossible of eXplana-
ton
One OF the difficult things TO ex-
plain is the ease with which some
pitchers defeat certain teams, yet
against the weaker aggregations they
are very unsuccessful.
This fact was forcibly brought to
my attention last spring. Ed Rom
mel of the Athletics was the pitch
er to play the leading role. regard
Ed Rommel as a mighty fine pitch
er. He has the stuff and pitches
intelligently.
No club in the American league
boasted of more hitting strength than
the New York Americans last season.
A pitcher able to stop the Yanks was
usually forced to turn in a high
grade Of pitching.
During the first month of the
American league race, Rommel scor.
ed three wins over the Yanks. He
looked like the real pitcher he is,
in every game. The Yankees were
going at top seed in the spring, max
ing it tough job for any pitcher
to stop them.
Nov for the funny part of it. In
the first month Rommel made a
number Of starts against the othei
clubs in the estern wheel of the
American league circuit. Boston,
Washington and Philadelphia all lack
the punch OF the Yankees.
During the first month of play
Rommel was unable to win a sin
gle gan other than the three scored
over the Yankees. Worse yet, he
failed to get by the first inning with
any other club he faced. 1t was a
case of the hook and the showers
for Ed almost before the announcer
had finished his duties of letting the
fans in on the batteries for the day.
"Red" Faber was the pitching SEN
sation of the American league last
year. In the spring ne was the vic
tim of a ve'y unusual happening. In
one week he twice shut out the
Cleveland team the world champions
OF 1921. In between the two shut
outs in which he allowed only two
hits, Detroit knocked him out of the
box in the first inning The first
five men to face him hit safely.
Acosta, the Cuban pitcher who has
been traded by Washington to Phil
a delphia, was much used as a relief
pitcher last year Acosta, with his
slow curve anC change of pace. usu-
ally met with much success in the
role of rescuer.
Against the Cleveland club Acosta
was a wonder. He always made
trouble for the Indians. When pitch
ing against Chicago, not nearly so
strong a club. Acosta couldn't get
the side out.
In a game at Washington last year
Cleveland got 10 Jim Shaw for seven
runs in the first inning. Accsta
was sent in as relief pitcher. He held
Cleveland scoreless the rest of the
game, stopping the Indians cold in
the midst of slugfest. Washington
won the game 8 TO 7.
It is impossible to offer a solution
for such things. They just happen.

1t is almost a certainty that at the
February meeting of the two major
leagues the rule governing barn
storming will be changed.
The rule as it Is now worded pre-
vents any player in either of the
teams that engages in the big series
from transforming.
Because Babe Ruth defied this rule
and played some bush games after
the close Of the big series he stands
suspended until May 20.
The public and the club owners are
to be the losers. The New York club
will be the principal sufferer. Not
only will 1t suffer financially. but the
playing strength of the club will also
be seriously affected by the absence
OF Ruth.
It has been generally agreed that
the rule is all wrong. That neither
