RCKEY'S FIVE-YEAR
CONTRACT AS LEADER
OF CARDS is UNUSUAL
Shows St. Louis Owners in
Harmony With Meth
DDS of Manager.
BY JOHN h. FOSTER.

Copyright 1898, by The san Antonio Light.
New York, Feb 5.-Branch Hickey
has been given five more years in which
to bring TO successful completion his
theories on how, 10 lead the st. Louis
National League into championship
The renewal Of a managers contract
for five years is an unusual thing, for
the majority of owners are unwilling
to tie up with a manager for more than
one season. This is not due TO lack
of faith in the ability Of manager. II
is due to the feeling that personal diff.
ferences may arise which will result
in antagonism between owner and team
leader.
RicIey has been with st. Louis as
leader since Miller Higgins stepped out
Of that job. Each did well with St
Louis according TO the material each
had. Since Higgins left st. Louis he
has won two championships while
Hickey has not won Il championship
Hickey brought the Cardinals into first.
place, however. although he could not
bold them there until the END of thu
season. Possibly his policy at times
has been less resolute than it should
have been.
In 1922 he undertook 10 build team
around HornSby. and, while it may be
possible in football to build team
around star. it is not a hopeful task
in baseball. There is no instance in
baseball Of a championship being Won
by one man even though he were an
expert fielder and the best batter in his
league.
Opposing managers now and then say
of Hickey that if they can get him "a
change his players often enough they
can beat him. That criticism is given
only for what it is worth. because it Is
not always a good idea to. believe toe
faithfully in what an opposing manager
may say. He usually has reasons fol-
spreading his own ideas abroad.
Hickey is a fine sportsman and a
manager OF fine ideals. He is in reality
an amateur working among profession
ais and it is not always an easy task
for him to mingle his amateur theories
with the blunt demands Of profession
alism. 1t is very different to play n
game for the enjoyment of it and fol
the safe OF victory beautifully won and
to play it for the necessity of winning
by giving full value for the thousands
Of dollars hich come in at the gate in
payment for display Of expert athletic
skill. Being hired TO do 3 thing is moi
ALWAYS the same aS doinr II for fun

Browns' Star Catcher
Has Missed Only One
Foul Ball in Career

Among the remarkable baseball
records that don't get into the aver
eyes is this one. Hank SEVERED, the
veteran star Of the st. Louis
Browns catching staff, has, jim all
his major league career, missed only
one foul pop-up.
Fouls are a curse to many catch
crs. They simply haven't the knack
of snatching off the mask, making
a blind start after whirling around
and then judging the elusive spin
ming pellet as it shoots downward.
Heavy chest protector and shin
guards add To their woes.
But SEVERED is an artist on foul
flies.
Furthermore, Severeid's record OF
consecutively throwing out Al of 10
men who tried to steal on him is an
other performance worthy Of a place
in the front Of the book.
