DIAMOND STARS BAD MANAGERS
 IN MOST CASES
Despite Excellent Tutors They Fail When on
 Own Resources
MOST OF THEM LOSE JOBS
Pupils of McGraw, Mack and Chance Horrible
 Examples

NEW YORK, March 19 - Passing strange thought it may be, it is fact and not fancy that the pupils of John McGraw, Connie Mack and Frank Chance, the most prominent managers of a major league generation, have been managerial failures without ex ception. They were smart ball play CTS, with the additional advantage of working under smart leaders, yet their ineptitude, when left to their own devices, has been monumental.
 Take the products of the McGraW school as an example,:
 Roger Bresnahan Hoped badly with the St. Louis Cardinals, and during subsequent years has done little with his Toledo Mudhens. Larry Doyle could not hold a managerial post, al though McGraw landed him successive appointments in the International League and Southern Association. Bill Dahlen failed in brief trial at the head of the Dodgers; likewise Moose" Mccormick, at Chattanooga, and Mike Donlin at Jersey City.
 Herzog Loses Out
 Charley Herzog didn't make the rifle at Cincinnati, and Matty, one of his immediate successors, lost out when he joined the army in 1918. This made room for Pat Moran, and there after Matty couldn't have the job back if he asked for it with repeat ing shotgun.
 On the other hand, George Wiltse has done well in Buffalo, and Art Fletcher may be a riot in his first year with the Phillies, but Billy Gil bert, now in Denver, seems to have the job-losing complex, although he finished second with Waterbury in 1922.
 Of the Mack school Harry Davis just about outlived his welcome in a single season at Cleveland. Danny Murphy left a trail of failures in his wake, Lave and Monte Cross attained indifferent success with minor league clubs, Monte being eased out of Kan sas City just about the time Topsy Hartsel, another of Mack's old timers, was taking the long count at Toledo.
 Some See Falacy
 Few of Mack's later-day champions went in for managing, men like Col lins, McInnes, Baker, Strunk, Schang and others being content, seemingly, to play ball and let the other fellow do the worrying Jack Coombs, Chief Bender, Jack Barry and Rube Oldring were the lone executions, and here again the percentage of failure was great, Coombs missing fire with the Phillies, while Bender and Oldring handled minor-league outfits of doubt full repute.
 Barry succeeded Bill Carrigan, after the latter had won successive worlds championships with the Red Sox ill 1915 and 1916, but the best Jack could show in 1917 was a second-place club. He then enlisted in the navy and never came back to baseball.
 Now for Chance. He had one of the smartest ball clubs in the history of the game at Chicago from 1906 to 1912. The result? Johnny Evers fin ished third with the Cubs in 1913 and was let out for reasons obscure. He tried again in 1921, under another regime, and this time failed signally. Joe Tinker was a "bust' with the Reds, but contrived to win a pen nant with the Chicago Feds. He was made manager of the combined Chi cago Feds and Cubs, after the treaty of peace was signed, and speedily dis abused everyone's mind of the idea that he was able to handle men,
 Mordicai Brown guided the St. Louis Feds through one season and then passed out. Johnny Kling stuck as head of the Braves for a similar period and finished last. Of the others Jimmy Archer, Harry Steinfeldt, Artie F. Holman and Heinie Zimmerman never managed clubs, within the writ CTS memory, but Frank Schulte and Jimmy Sheckard gave it whirl in the minors. They were neither better nor worse than the rest of them-merely bad.
