which won him renown the country
over was begun.
1t will be no surprise TO the man
agcment of the New York Yankees
for whom Baker played in the Amer

intention to quit. When the Mary
lander was coaxed away from the
quietude of his Trappe farm last year
he secured from the New York club
an agreement that he was to be un-
conditionally released il ever he should
want it.
Officials of the Cambridge club hav-

James Z. Austin of Lakewood. o..
comes forth to offer bit OF advice
to the youngster. TO the kiddie who
today in knickerbockers sees himself
in the big circuit.
SETS GOOD EXAMPLE
One who is in his fortieth year and
campaigns should be an excellent les
son for the youngster OF today.
Austin is gray. just slightly bent. legs
bit weary. but the spirit II youthful.
Austin was born in 1882. entered the
American League in 1909 and is still
travelling on.
Austin's success is worth a page
in baseball history. He has never
shirked In his work; he grad.
uated TO n manager was deposed and
still he gives the best he has day after
day. He accepted the management
of the St. Louis Browns in June. 1918,
succeeding Fielder Jones. and sat in
tho chair just two weeks. The de-
sire of Magnate Ball to have a bench
manager and not a playing manager
caused him 10 lift the managerial
worries from Austin's shoulders and
appoint Jimmy Burke.

Pueblo chieftain., 1922-01-17

When the official bulletin an
nouncing the change was issued
Austin called all of the players to
the clubhouse, issued a speech from
a chair and told them that il any
one sulked under Burke they would
have TO put up their dukes. against
him in a fist fight.
Austin's loyalty to his owner is
not surpassed in the major ranks
To be a regular third baseman at
the age of SO and never having bat
ted 800 in his entire career Is an
other noteworthy performance. When
Austin showed signs of losing bit OF
his speed five years ago the owners
of the Browns secured the minor lea
CUES for third baseman. Each
spring at least half a dozen candi-
dates reported. They worked out at
the far corner while Austin sat on the
bench.
HAD THE RIGHT SPIRIT
However. each season opened with
Austin the third baseman. He prob
ably did not hit them as far but he
had some thing which the youngsters
lacked-aggressivc n winning
spirit. likeable personality ana
enough pepper to keep the entire team
awake.
In the spring OF 1920 nine clubs
| in the Class A and Class IA leagues
| sought Austin as manager. Busi-
| ness Manager Bob Quinn. who steers
| the Browns ship. refused to part with
Austin, n thirty-ninc-ycar-o older. He
too valuable to us even If he doesn't
| play a single game" was Quinn's
reply to those who wanted Austin as
manager.
During n game last summer Austin
had his right arm fractured by
pitched ball. He was given permis-
sion TO go home and rest by Manager
Lee Fohl Blu, Austin refused to
leave the club. Maybe you could use
me on the bench to stir some OF the
| boys" was Austin's answer to Foil.
and he sat on the bench in uniform
