Maranville has been in ma jor league
base ball a long time. He is shifty,
experienced and practical infieIder.
What he can do as a manager is
something else. He is inclined to be
impetuous, and will have to restrain
himself if he makes any success on
the field.
The writer talked to Fred Clarke
at the Polo Grounds yesterday after
noon. 1t was the first time Clarke
had surveyed the famous battle-ground
since the days when he was manager
of the Pittsburgh club. Now he is
back with the Pirates as a sort of
manager emeritus, although he In
sisted that Bill McKechnie is running
the team.
Bucs' Speed Impresses Clarke.
Clarke said he was not claiming the
pennant for Pittsburgh this year, al,
though he believed it has as good a
chance to win it as any other club.
What looks good in the Pittsburgh
club?" the writer asked.
Speed" replied Clarke. Then the
team is beginning to strike a batting
gait that it should have had from the
start of the season. This club should
be hitting better the farther II goes. >,
You figure New York as the main
contender"
Yes, just like in the olds days. 1t

Yet they say there is no sentiment

BURNS, VET OF IA YEARS, GOING GOOD
PhilHes' Outfelder Showing
 Speed and Brains

New York. May l.--After l4 years in the National league, George Burns, once with the Giants, then with the Reds and now with the Phillies, has launched one Of the most promising seasons of his career. And necessity, ho declares, is the reason.
 Spectators who saw Burns in the recent series here between the Giants and Philles were surprised to Ind the popular outhelder had reduced to the trim figure Of 1912, when he reported to the New York club from Utica. All the speed, the ability 10 hit, and the rare judgment in the outheld which he seemed 10 lose after leaving the Giants for the Gin cinnati Reds, had returned.
 He batted hard and timely, ran the bases like demon, and his field ing sparkled with the circus catches of bygone days.
 A sample Of Burns smart baseball was given the fans in the ninth in aing of the final game between the Few York and Philadelphia clubs. The veteran had watched with in tcrcst Ross Young's habit of whip ping the ball 10 first base after field ing a single in right field. Young had found the throw good for an oc- Sasional surprise putout if the base runner was caught off guard, but Burns outguessed him in the ninth after singing to right. Young, ex- pecting Burns 10 pull up as usual after rounding first, begged to Kelly. Burns however, had deliberately drawn the toss, and, increasing his speed after the throw was made, he raced for second and reached the bag standing up.
 Burns explains his own comeback as due to the failure Of baseball glove manufacturing company, in which he had invested the bulk Of his s25,O00 savings, 10 meet with success. Absolutely broke" was the way Burns described his condition 1 when he returned to the game this i season.
 Burns decision to return this year brought an offer from minor league club in the south, but he was confident he could get back into his stride in the majors, and that conf- dence was shared by his old Giant roommate, Arthur Fletcher, now manager Of the PhiIlies. Fletcher gave Burns the opportunity h. sought, and George has thus far well repaid the former New York shoc' stop,

 A year or so passed and Earl be- came a jockcy--a good jockey, His fame spread with his successes and he was never out of a job.
 Proud of his achievement Mrs. Sande forgave Earl But she didn't forgive the horses. Sandc then urg- cd her to come east 10 see him ride the horses on the big tracks, She always said no.
 Last summer Earl was seriously | injured In a fall at Saratoga, and Mrs. Sande was tempted to remark: I"Well, I just knew il would happen some day"
 A week or so ago Earl rode Sara zen 10 victory al Havre de Grace IThe popular jockeys countless ad. mirers were delighted. for it was his | hrHt public appearance in the saddle since the accident. i Mrs. Sando grinned bit too, and when her son again urged her 10 make trip cast from her present ! home in Salem, Ore, to sec how he 1 did it, she accepted, although she was sure she wouldn't like horse racing.
 On Wednesday of this week she sat with her daughter-in-law fin the stands at the Jamaica track, Eff teen thousand persons had turned out, for it was the opening day of the Metropolitan season and \Sande had two mounts,
 "Theres Earl, doesn't he look funny!' exclaimed Mrs. Sande as the great little jockey dressed in yellow silk and a black cap. rode out 10 the barrier on Our Buddy.
 The horse was pockcted and fin- ,ishod far back But defeat didn't bother Mrs. Sandc. Shc was glad our Buddy hadn't stubbed his foe.
 Earl was called into the steward E box. When he came down he was carrying q huge silver loving ccup, the gift of his friends, and everybody shouted. Mrs, Sande was pleased, but still she was for from sure about this racing business,
 Then they called the Paumonok the $500 handicap feature of thc opening day card. This time Earl was riding Worthmore.
 The crowd roared as the field got away, and Mrs. Sande lost sight ot Earl until the horses swung into tEf stretch.
 "Come on, Sandc, come on sande' the throng urged. She jump ed to her feet, jigglng and shouting too.
 Worthmorc won, IL was nosc victory over Noah, a sort Of dime novel movie-thriIler finish. Every where people were acclaiming th' popular Jockey. Mrs. Sande sanl back into her chair. Wasn't it wondorful" she trcm bungly whispered 10 her daughter in-law. And wasn't Worthmore { wonderful hors"!"
 The thoroughbred had been yindi catcd.
