COLLEGE STAR

Steve ONeil, star catcher Of the
Cleveland Indians when they won a
pennant and world series in 1920. IS
back in the minors this year. He's
catching for Toronto of the Interna-
tional League.
On the Toronto club this year is
Pitcher Owen Carroll. former Holy
Cross star. who is still the property
of the Detroit Tigers.
Carroll is the young man who lost
only two games in four years of col
lege twirlng and turned in some
thing like fifty victories. on joining
the Tigers, Carroll found the style
of play decidedly different in the big
show, and just couldn't win.

predicted success for him despite de-
feat. but thought he was a year or
two away.
Under the direction Of Steve
O'Neil, who is catching him at To-
ronto, Carroll is a consistent winner.
Carroll looks better in every
start. He will be a finished pitcher
at the close of the season. ready to
jump to the majors and deliver"
That is Steve's impression of Car,
roll who, by the way. is of the opin.
ion that ONeill should come back to
the majors as his catcher.

SEVERE HANDICAP

Bring back those pitchers to me. ~
Words and music by jake Atz,
manager of the TT. Worth team Of
the Texas League.
Joe Pate. who won twenty games
for Atz last season is now with the
Philadelphia Athletics. He recently
made his major league debut at 93
years of age by defeating Washing
ton.
Lefty" Johns, now a member Of
the Detroit Tigers, won the same
number and lost only eight games,
four less than Pate. Johns also won
his first start against Cleveland.
Losing two pitchers who turned in
forty victories last season seems to
have upset FIT. Worths pennant
strategy. During the first three
weeks Of play the club has floun-
dered around the cellar.
Atz, who has won six straight pen
nants in the Texas League for FIT.
Worth and five Dixie series in the
same time from the pennant winners

AVERAGE SUCCESS

The success attained by American
League stars. on the whole, has
been above the average. Stanley
Harris has turned in two pennant
winners and one world champion
ship, while Iris Speaker has one of
each to his credit.
Managing a major league bah
club is a mans job itself without do
ing any playing. If a star is tenn
peram entally fitted to handle men,
his chances to deliver are much
better.
However, it is often the case that
1.-THE work of the star player is i'm
paired by the added duties Of the
manager. There are many sides to
the argument for and against the
policy of making managers Of star
players.
