1t has been rumored that several
of the Browns were more bent upon

Howley declares that these fellows

League statistics show that many of
the Browns are players of high caliber

make a big league club. But no mat

1t appears that some of the formerly
unruly members of the Browns are
in for surprise when they begin
working under Howley's direction
next Spring.
Schalk declared himself at Chicago
as being most eager to do a deal of
swapping this Winter. But he either
has nothing with which to tempt rival
managers or he wants much more
than he is willing to give up.
White Sex Larder Lean.
Excepting a few first.class pitchers,
a brilliant outf1elder and fairly de.
pendabIe third sacker, Schalk's larder
at Chicago is somewhat lean. And
it seems that he will find it excep-
tionally difficult to replenish it for
some time.
George Moriarty, converted from
umpire to manager, was a busy man
at Chicago, scurrying about the meet
ing hotel on the lookout for capable
cubs for his Tiger lair in Detroit.
But, like the other fiedgling pilots,
George wanted something for nothing,
or practically nothing. He had no
good bait for his Tiger trap and de.
parted with his cages empty. He was
not discouraged, however. "Of course,
/ would like to get a rea6y.made third
sacker, one with considerable league
experience behind him, but ] really

next year with what I have at hand.
And l have several irons in the fire.

thing worth while before the Winter

While Moriarty as an umpire was a
stern disciplinarian and probably will
be such as manager, he limited that
the Tigers would be allowed to do
some thinking for themselves when
on the field next year. George opines
that ball player good enough to be
a big Lacquer should be good enough
to exercise some judgment in game.

agement in vogue on some clubs.
George has his own ideas about the
handling of pitchers, too. He stated
that if his mound corps showed any
thing like fair ability, there would be
no deeply grooved path from the hill
TO the clubhouse such as has married
Navin Field in Detroit for some years.
Carrigan Greatly Respected.
Probably none of the new managers
in the American League will command
more respect next year than Bill Car
rigan, who returns to boss the Red
Sox after an absence from the game
IF 10 years. Even so early, Bills
rivals are looking for the Boston
bunch to be really troublesome after
having been the doormat of the league
for long period. Carrigan's main
idea in directing a ball club is to gee
every bit of work out of a player at
all times, according to those who have
associated with him in the national
pastime and after talking with him
at Chicago those who know him we'll
insist that he still carries that idea.
Carrigan was the least laxative of
the new managers gathered at the an
nual session of the big leagues, but
evidently he said just enough to make
his rivals realize he lost none of his
ability as pilot during his long lay.

Watch Carrigan" is apt to be a
watchword with managers of several
clubs that for some time consistently
have not been getting their heads
above the second division in the
American League.
