HUGGINS SHOWS
HIS ABILITY AS
TEAM MANAGER
Yank Mentors Production OF
Winning Nine Proves He
Is Capable
BY ALAN ]. GUOLD
Associated Press Shorts Editor

New York. Sept. 28.-F-Thc
fifth American League pennant vic
tory in seven years for the New
York Yankees has established their
pilot, the diminutive Miller Hug
gins, as on of the most successful
managers the game has known.
Higgins has succeeded where il
was predicted he would fail. He
has demonstrated his shrcwdness
his ability to develop new talent and
direct baseball's most expensive
cast in the face of criticism and
skepticism.
Triumphs Prove Ability
When the Yankees won three sue
cessive pennants, in 1921-22.23, com.
paratively little credit was given ia
Higgins. It was said he fell heir
to q made team" built up with the
aid Of Colonel Jacob Ruppert's ever
ready and well-filled fountain pen.
It has taken the triumphs of 1926
q to bring out belated praise Of
Higgins ability to shape his own
destinies and construct another
championship club after one fell by
the wayside.
OF the stars of Higgins first pen
nant-winning team only Bah. Ruth,
Bob Meusel and Wa'te Hoyt remain
as leading cogs in the 1927 cham
pionship lineup.
Buster" Gehrig, Tony Lazzeri,
Earle Combs, Mark Koening and
Wiley Moore have been developed
by Higgins among others in gath
ering together team that such vet
eran associates as Wilbert Robin
son and Connie Mack rank among
the greatest q all time.
Only Mack, the tall tutor of the
Athletics, has won more American
League flags than Higgins. Con-
ME captured six over q twelve-year
period from 1902 to 1914. In seven
seasons Higgins is only one short
of this mark with q team which,
except possibly for its pitching staff,
appears equipped to dispute the top
with any outfit for som, time to
come.
Is Forceful Character
Never seeking the limelight, Hug
gins nevertheless is forceful char
acter. He makes his decis .ons with
out hesitation. The Yankees, most
Of them towering over their midget
manager, know who bosse tie out
fit. They respect his keen judgment.
There was time when cabe Ruth
was continually at o. 8 with his
manager. Affairs reached such q
stage few years ago that Higgins
handed the Babe an unprecedente..
bit Of punishment, fine Of $4,000.
for misconduct. It is understood
this fine was rescindei later, after
Ruth apologized to Higgins and
promised to turn over q new leaf,
but the managers sharp disciple. larry
move had its effect. There is no
friction now between Higgins and
the games highest salaried star.
Colonel Rupert, the Yankee own
or, has always had implicit conf
dence in Higgins, even when the
little manager was subject to criti-
cism and at odds with Colonel T. L.
Huston, who shared the club con-
troll with Rupert until = few years
ago. Colonel JAKE" steadfastly re-
fused to consider shifting pilots.
Now that his judgment and faith in
Higgins have been confirmed, there
is small doubt that Miller will hold
tt job o long q he desires.

When the umpires insist the
major must be ''sp0ofing." his
pet comeback is the umpires like
the rule because it eliminates
hair-line decisions Is to whether
the runner was over the plate.

Recently, while in Philadelphia, I
had most unusual interference play
come up. In my rs years of umpir-
ing experience, L had never seen
anything quite like it. Naturally
the fans were puzzled and took de-
cided exception to the ruling, not be-
ing familiar with just what had
happened.
That evening, in discussing the
game with Frank Jacobs, who is a
leading manufacturer of mems
clothing and who might have been
baseball magnate had he back in
1900 accepted an invitation by Con-
ME Mack to purchase a half interest
in the Athletics, he brought up an
angle that l am sure will sooner or
later be adopted by major league
clubs.
When ] explained my ruling to
him, he remarked:
1T is unfortunate there isn't some
way of letting the fans in on such
secrets. Had they known why you
so ruled there would have been little
or no protest.
II have always believed the score
cards should carry q glossary Of the
unusual things that can happen on
the ball field, such as out for inter-
ference or running out of line, leav-
ing base too soon on q fly ball,
failure to touch a base, blocking the
runner without the fielder having
the ball in his possession and the
like.
"Such q glossary, with each pos
sibility carrying . number, and a

Perhaps that is why baseball is
so popular. One must be greatly in
terested in sport to labor under
the above Authorizations.
During my travels over the Amer
lean League circuit, / meet scores of
rabid fans, men who are highly
successful ins their own particular
lines Of endeavor, yet feel they have
many ideas that would better base
ball if incorporated in the rules.
Recently, while in Washington,
DR.. Burdine, a learned man Of medi-
cine, in all seriousness told me he
believed the method of scoring in
baseball was all wrong. He is of
the opinion that a team should re.
ceive certain credits for men left on
bases.
It is DR.. Burdine's thought that
if an inning should end with a run.
ner on third and one on first, that
team should be credited with one
run; three-quarters of run for the
man who was on third when the in.
ming closed and one-fourth run
for the man on first. He believes
such system would make for close,
score games and more extra inning
battles.
While ! am well aware the
good doctor knows his medicine,
] cannot subscribe to his scoring
system. It would cut to a min.
imum, / think. the premium on
say you?
Then there is my very good
friend, Major Cavanaugh, football
coach at Fordham and one of the
gridiron's best. He has some unique
ideas on baseball. I am Of the opin.
ion that he is usually simply "josh.
ing" me with his contentious, but he
does it with straight face.
Major Cavanaugh is Of the opin.
ion that certain rules are too def.
mite in baseball, thereby relieving
the umpires of hair-line rulings that
would add. zest to the game.
One of his favorite objections is
to the rule that says no runs can
score on double play, in which the
third out is force or the batsman
fails to reach first. He claims il
there are runners on first and third
with one out, anG the batsman hits
to the shortstop, who forces the man
at second, also getting the runner at
first, the run should score if the
man from third is over the plate be.
fore the third out is made.
