NEW YORK, June 0.-SomehoW
the trend Of modern baseball has
gone toward the player manager in
recent years, and nearly all 1r
them are stars Of such magnitude.
that they will be remembered as
long as the game survives. The
recent elevation of Rogers HornSDy
to the management Of the st. Louis
Cardinals is a case in point. Seem
ingly, his principal Recommendation
for the position is found in the
fact that he happens to be one cr
the greatest hitters Of all time.
That, by the way, is not intended
as a bouquet of poison ivy. It Is a
mere statement of fact. Hornsby
is a great ball player. There is
no outward evidence that he will
be a great manager.
He is the last of the generation's
great stars to b< so honored. The
rest of them, iris Speaker, Ty Cobb,
George SisIer AMI Eddie Collins

Ruth-have been taken care or TO
their ultimate satisfaction. Ruth
doesn't need or want the job OF
managing the Yankees and possibly
couldn't get 1t il he did.
The others, however, were only
too ready to take over the mana
gerial toga. Speaker was the first
to, be approached. He replaced Ice
Fohl at Cleveland iE midseason of
1919, and oddly enough, Ruth lad
much to do with the transaction.
Ruth hit Coumbe, a pinch pitcher
nominated by Fohl, for a homes
with the bases filled. That night
Fohl was forced out and Speaker
came in.
He won the American League pen
nant and the worlds title the fol-
lowing year, but has been unable to
do much with the Indians since
then
Cobb was the second appointee.
He improved the position Of the
Tigers considerably after taking
over Hugh Jennings's job and even
went so far as to finish a good
third last year. But this season
with a conceded contender at his
back, Cobb hasn't had the Tigers
out of the second division.
Sisler didn't set the league by
it's ears last year, his first as man.
ager of the Browns. But George
had his own illness to contend
with and is being given plenty of
rope. He may yet have the Browns
up fighting for the lead, although
to date they have given little evi-
dence of future prosperity.
Collins, appointed in midwinter
has obtained more immediate re-
suits from the White Sox. They
have been at or around third place
since the start of the campaign, in
spite of the fact that the same club
finished last in 1924.

FIGHT TOO TAME, REFEREE
STOPS SMITH-GANS BOUT

BAYONNE, N. j.. June 6.-The
fighting publics opinion differed
widely today on the referees action
last night in stopping the scheduled
twelVe.round bout between Joe
Cans, of Allentown, Pa, Sand jeff
Smith, local middleweight, in the
seventh round.
The great ovation accorded Smith
when he stepped into the ring here,
his first appearance in his home
town in five years, turned to boos
and Kisses in the second round, and
Referee Joe Mastery first COM
manded the fighters to "open up"
Repeated warnings followed and
with the crowd wanting action and
not hesitating to say so, Mastery
stepped the bout in the seventh.
Boxing Inspector Caesar Walter
announced that the purse money Of
both fighters would be held up
pending the action of the boxing
authorities at Trenton. He said the
reason for stopping the bout was
that neither boxer was extending
himself.

TIGER FLOWERS GIVES
MALONE REAL BATTLE

CHICAGO, June 6.-All those de.
hghtful traditions of a June moon
at its full had little effect last
night on the savagery Of the
Georgia Tiger. Mr.. Flowers, fight
ing Deacon and General Toughman.
The moon beamed at it's best on
the East Chicago fighting arena,
but the Tiger never gave a glance
skyward and proceeded with his
intent and desperate purpose to
give Jock Malone, of st. Paul, a
severe trouncfng.
Flowers started right in to show
the throng why he had earned his
titles of Tiger and Fighting
Deacon. He punched and slapped
Malone and the latter was all at
sea as to how to combat the
Georgia fighter. The bout went the
full ten rounds and at the finish
Malone was a bit marked.
Jock had one chance. 1t came
In the seventh. He staggered
Flowers with a powerful right to
the chin. But Flowers wonderful
condition offset the effects of the
blow and in thirty seconds the
Negro was himself again and Jock s
chance went aglimmering. Flowers
kept on top Of his man almost all
the way.

1t IS too bad the bout had TO
