PLAYER RULES
HUGE TOPIC
FORP|LOTS
Different Managers Have
Varied Success With
Their Methods

What to do? Is the question the
major league baseball managers
ask. How to train a team for the
championship, what to feed them
on, what sports to encourage and
bar? All these are conuridrums
propounded each season by the
pilots.
Branch Hickey treats his players
just as he would a class in English
in a college. He lines them up
in the morning and his blackboard
drills are almost as intricate as
those which football coaches put
their athletes through.
John McGraw is not strict. All
he wants is absolute obedience on
the field. Every play is done at
his bidding, even to the slightest
movement. He has been very sue.
cessful, apparently.
Ty Cobb is against golf, out and
out. He insists the game ruins
the batting eye. He has forced
all the members Of his team, with
the exception of the pitchers, to
discontinue the sport. He is also
successful this season, thus far.
Some managers believe in allow
ing the players freedom at all
times off and on the field. Connie
Mack has his own signs and wig
wags; few know what they are.
They have not been so successful.
Managers aside, many things
crop UP among the players. Such
things as cliques. Those things in
which several plA yers get together
and exclude all others. The Pitts.
burgh Pirates had a team orchestra
back in 1921 and it was blamed
more or less for the failure Of
the Smoky City team to annex the
pennant.
The latest thing to crop up in
the way of cliques is on the
Chicago National League club.
Almost every member Of the Cubs
Is member Of the Illinois National
Guard. 1t is An all army team
and they show it.
Chicago has about the peppiest
team in the National League. At
one stage they had a wonderful
chance to win the pennant. 1t
was not the lack Of fight that lost
the chance. They just didn't have
the material.

THE Olympic idea," says William

Ching our showing in the Paris
games because we did not win every
first place. Such are eminently un.
fair. We had by far the most
powerful team in the track and field
contests, for our general level was
so Tar above any other nation there
was no comparison. And the i'm.
provement in physical education
since the war is remarkable.
Il do not seek to minimize the

adds Prout, but If you take away
the four first places won by Nurni

Ritola the Films have practically
nothing to talk about. Every mem.
Der of the Finnish Olympic team

last. Every European government
has become interested in physical
training and is developing athletes"
Prout admits the hostility to the
American athletes, but he does not
blame it on any envy for our ath.
letic prowess.
''The French spectators were hos.

games" he says. 'and their attitude
did influence some Of the decisions

Fish Not Rising To
Ring Bait As
Of Old

This has been a season Of
feast or famine in the fight
game. There was a decided at
titude of indifference toward
the advance announcements Of
some of the big scraps this
summer. The promoters were
exceedingly cautious and the
good bouts were few and far
between. The boxing public
was not nearly as responsive
as it was a year ago. After
this famine there comes a rush
of bouts during the next few
weeks.
Berlenbach and StribIing are
at last going to get up at the
New York Velodrome on the
twenty-seventh, and then the
month Of September is going to
offer a layout Of bouts which
will strain the bank rolls of
many of the fight fans. Villa
and Genaro will clash on Sep
TENDER 4, and Firpo and Wills
are booked for September IL.
Leonard and Walker will en-
terrain on the twenty-second, at
which time Mr.. Leonard's
thumbs will have recovered from
their recent shock. Mike Nc

members of the profession if
they are impressed with the
manner in which the public re-
spends to their noble efforts.

Al Cne maLCer is left to Jack Dunn
in the international League.
international League baseball
pays Dunn good dividends. why
should he rush into the uncertainty
OF major league baseball?
But sooner or later Dunn may
find 1t necessary to change from
the present order of things. -Four
years ago Dunn found business so
good in Baltimore that he built
a big bleacher to handle the over.
flow. And several times that sea.
son it was full. Things were boom.
ing then. Dunn was out to win
his third straight pennant, and the
rest Of the league looked strong
enough to give him a fight-a bet.
ter fight than he is getting now, at
least.
Fans flocked to the park on Sun.
days in overflow numbers. Several
times the gates were closed and
they stood in the street 5000 strong
They were the good old days
for Dunn. Since then the league
has seemed unable to grow. The
Orioles won as they pleased. At
one time Dunn feared to sell q
man-feared that he might weak.
en- his team and lose a pennant.
Now he would sell almost any.
thing and trust to his ability to
fill the gaps.
In a. city the size Of Baltimore
there should be crowds Of $4,000
upon weekend days. Now around
5000 see a game on Saturday and
1000 on Sunday. Things have
changed.
This eventuallv may drive Dunn
to something else. He may force
the rest of the league to improve
and make a better brand of base
ball, or he may change his mind
and go after big league berth.
The people Of Baltimore want q
big league club. It is believed they
would support 1t generously.
But they would have to support
1t with considerably more enthusi
asm than they do the present
league IL the magnate made money
Even in a lean year like 1928 II
is understood Jack Dunn had
$50 900 for his seasons work.
Dunn's investment isn't heavy.
He has built his property up to a
great value. He once said he
wouldn't take a million dollars
for it.
1t is doubtful If any ways near
500, 900 was ever invested in the
club.
So you can see where Dunn
stands. If the Orioles will con.
tinue to make money for him he'll
stick where he is. And he will
hesitate a long time before throw
ing his hat in the air and an.
nOuncing big-league intentions.
To make big league baseball go
in Baltimore it would be necessary
to have a new park to start with.
New ball parks cost lots OF money.
The cheapest of them run around
$3O0,0 For Baltimore a half-mil.
lion dollar plant would be necessary.
If Dunn didn't go into the thing
himself he would want a pretty fig.
ure for selling his rights and NOV
ing the Orioles out.
A half-million for the park, a half
million for Dunn's territory rights,
plus the cost Of a major league
franchise represents the outlay noe
essary.
Ban johnson says no city, except.
ing New York and Chicago, should
have two big league baseball clubs.
That means that there never
would be more than two leagues If
johnson has his way.
In the meantime amateur sports
are developing and advancing rapid
~ and baseball is standing still.
II a third league ever is to get
going, now is the time. A few years
from now it may be too late to
start one.
