Five-Year Period Serves to
Alter Big League
Picture.
HOST OF NEW PILOTS
Veteran Managers Groom
UnderStudieS for Jobs.
BY FRANK GETTY
United Press Sports Editor

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-The arrival
in New York today of baseball men
who will be going into conference
next week in the annual meetings
of the major leagues illustrated
strikingly the many changes which
have taken place in the national
paStime in the past five years.
Five years ago only four of the
present day managers who will take
part in next weeks discussions were
at the helm of their respective
clubs.
Five years ago Judge Kenesaw
Mountain Lands was considering
dealing out drastic discipline to
George Herman Ruth, whereas, as
every schoolboy knows, the Babe is
now model youth of baseball.
Five years ago Washington never
had won a pennant. Neither had
the st. Louis Cardinals, not since
the National League was founded
in 1876. Since 1922, the Senators
have won two pennants and q
worlds championship, while the
Cards have gathered in one of each.
The Pittsburgh Pirates, who hadn't
had flag for sixteen years, won
two and a world series in the past
five seasons.
Perhaps the most striking exam
pie of the changes wrought in this
brief period, however, is furnished
by a comparison Of the managers
of 1923 and those engaged for 1928:

OF the four managers, two in
each league, who have survived the
exigencies Of that brief five-year
period, three are getting ready to
step aside and are drilling under
studies to do their stuff for them
within another season or so.
Connie Mack is ready to let Eddie
Collins have the reins in Phil
adelphia, John McGraw is grooming
Rogers Hornsby for the job as boss
OF the Giants, and Wilbert Robin
son may have bought Davy Ban
croft from the Braves with some
thing similar in mind.
Only Miller Higgins, once despised
as manager, goes on turning out
one pennant winner after another.
