YANKS' MANAGER NOT
POPULAR WITH FANS
OBy Henry /. Farrell)

New York, Oct, Miller Hug
gins, the little pilot of the Yankees,
IS the greatest manager in baseball
for getting the raZ@berry.
Huggins gave New York its first
American League pennant last season
and he was greeted with compliment
tary reminders that any sap OF 4
manager could have won a pennant
with that team.
H was rewarded this year with
the kind words that with all his
pitchers and star players he should
have won the pennant by twelve or
fifteen games.
If the Yankee manager allowed the
knocks to get under his skin, he would
be out of baseball, because he has
been treated to nothing but criticism
since he took charge Of a misfit team
and built it ur into a pennant win
ner.
Being of retiring disposition,
Higgins never has appealed to the
crowd in New York, where the more
belligerent type is favored. He has
always gone his way quietly and it
seems that he has achieved enough
in New York to be recognized as a
good manager.
Higgins was born in Cincinnati,
Ohio. March 81, 1880 and he got his
big league start with the Reds in
1903 after ne had spent u season in
the American Association with the
st. Paul Club He played second base
sold to St. Louis Cards. When Roger
Bresnahan was relieved of the man
agemert, Hpggins was named in
his place in 1918. When Colonies Rup-
pert and Huston bought the Yankees,
Ban Johnson, president Of the lea
que recommended Higgins for man
ager and he was transferred out Of
the league.
The Yankee leader is regarded as
a smart baseball malone of the
smartest in the business, but even his
friends admit that he does not rank
with some Of the best managers in
handling pitchers. He has had a lot Of
misfortune with his pitchers and he
has displayed a lot Of bad misiudg-
ment in handling some of the prima
donnas for which the team is noted.

GETTING READY
(By United Press.l

New York, Oct. with official,
titles to the pennants instead Of ma
thematical certainties, the New York
Giants and the Yankees were brush
ing up today for the world series.
John McGraw, manager Of the Ma
tional League champions and Miller
Higgins, the pilot of the American
League pennant winners, ordered
their charges to report at the Polo
Grounds today for a light workout.
With the exception of a few minor
ailments, both clubs were reported in
good shape and ready to present their
full strength in the opening game
Wednesday.
Babe Ruth has been nursing a
strained side that he pulled in bat
ting practice a few days ago but he
said today that it wasn't bothering
him and that the old swing was all
ready.
The first of the reserved seats for
the series were mailed out of both
offices last night and the secretaries of
the two clubs assured all purchasers
that they would be delivered in
plenty of time for the series.
Although the demand was said to
be heavy. a few reserved seats We're
still available today.
Ii was announced that 10000 seats
in the upper stands and the bleach
ers would be placed on sale before
each game at 10 O'Clock in the morn
ing. Purchasers, however, have to
enter the grounds just as soon as they
set their ticket and sales are limited
to one.
With the exception of the appoint
ment Of umpireS, which is expected
today, everything is in readiness fol-
the opening of the series. Neither
manager, of course, has selected 9
pitcher to go out after the first game
but 1t is considered almost a certain
ty that the Giants will play behind
Arthur Nehf and that Joe Bush, the
ace Of the EankS, will be sent to the
mound by Manager Higgins.

TO MEET THE sLUGGING EVIL
BY Henry L. Farrell
Press Snort EditOrl

! New York, Oct. Ban johnson
has an idea that the problem of toe
much slugging can be solved by max
ing the playing fields larger and by
dividing. the. outfield. into. zones
Drives between certain zones lines
would be worth two bases; between
the next lines, three bases and so on.
The American League president
apparently is trying to arrive at
something constructive and his idea
might work out, but it would take
a flock of mounted umpires to rule on
drive close to the three base-home
run line.
II would seem that the problem
could be met by simply charging the
playing fields and getting away from
the trick right and left field stands
that are numerous around the major
league circuits.
Zones are not necessary. Any play
er who hits drive to the corner of
the centeriield fence at the Polo
grounds deserves a homer end usually
gets one.
Eugene Criqui, the European
featherweight champion, is not as
keen about landing the worlds title
as his actions several weeks ago
would indicate. The Nenchman want
ed to fight johnny Kilbane and when
the champion asked for several mil
lion francs, he nearly knocked out
the whole French nation.
Tex Rickard then tried to get Cri-
que TO fight Johnny Dundee and he
wasted no time in lett lg it be known
that he wanted none Of Dundee's
stuff.
They all seem to think that win
ming the recognized worlds champion
ship is just a matter Of getting Xii
bane in the ring and that he will fall
over from his own weight.
In figuring up the ball players who
developed the fastest in 1922, Lu
Blue, of the Detroit Tigers; Chick
Galloway, Of the Philadelphia Ath-
letic and "Cotton'Tierney, Of the
Pittsburgh Pirates, get the first call.
The closing season was not one in
which youth crowded age off the
boards. Some of the old antiques in
the major leagues had one of their
best years. Jack Daubert, Casey
Stcngel, Ty Cobb, iris Speaker, Ed
die Collins and Joe Bush all cut out
like young kids just out.
Perhaps the most illustrious eX-
ample of a comeback in 1922 was
Rebel Russell, the old pitcher who
came back to the Pittsburgh Pirates
as an outfielder and became one of
the big factors in getting the club
up in the race.
While Casey Stengel could not be
regarded as a comeback, in as much
as he hadn't quite gone, he was one
OF the big surprises Of the season. He
stepped into bad hole in the out
field of the New York Giants and
went at such clip for three-quarters
of the race that he just about saved
the team.

third for the GirAts with Casey Stem

a charley horse that has has him

Since the Yankees have no south
