PIayer-Manager Passe

ia Ob -bNbSAt'O 80 =
THE American League will have
l. only two playing managers
next season. Stanley Harris at
Washington. Ray Schalk at Chi
cago.
Three player-managers will per-
form in the National. Bob O'Far-
.rell at st. Louis, Dave Bancroft
at Boston and "Stuffy" McInnis
at Philadelphia.
During the past few years the
pendulum has swung from the
player-leader to the bench pilot!
Despite the fact that more than
average success was attained by
players who also doubled as man
ayers, it is a tough job for one
man.
Handling ball club is one
thing, playing another. It's quite
a task when you combine the re-
sponsibilities of the two jobs.

he took over the managerial job,
Probably it was just as bad a
blunder on the part of the owners
in selecting him.
Sisler doesn't possess managers

figures show that he held the OPP
position to a batting average of
.211, not bad for a veteran sup
posed to be through.
No doubt the success of Bush
at Pittsburgh was due. to the de-
ceptiveness of his fork ball. 1t
is a freak delivery. perfected by
Bush. that takes more puzzling
break than the hard-to-hit spit
ball.
When Bush came to the Phila-
delphia Athletics he had one of
the best fast balls l have ever
judged. 1t soon won for him the
cognomen of Bullet joe" An
arm injury later robbed him Of
that great speed and resulted in
the discovery and development of
the fork ball
Now Bush. takes it to the Ma

much as if the shift would pro-
long his career couple more
