BY GEORGE CHADWICK.

w Whatever the outcome Of
n the riproaring pennant race
NV in the National League,
there are base ball fans in
these broad United States
who are even now cackling in open
glee. In particular these are fans of
cities in the American Association
and they will be satisfied if either the
Chicago Cubs or the Pittsburgh
Pirates annex the holly disputed
bunting.
Minor league managers-graduates
of the American Associaion-are
making successes of the Chicago and
Pittsburgh teams.
Where is all this prestige that the
major leagues claim 10 have in base
ball brains? A lot of minor league
fans would like to know.
WHY" says the St. Paul fan and
the Milwaukee fan and the boasting
bugs Of other association cities. IF
they'll take some Of the other Ameri-
can Association managers, the Ma
tional League will have a real race
one of these days, and clubs like
Boston. Brooklyn and Philadelphia
will learn how to get out of the
second division"
Mccarthy a Sophomore.
The Cubs are being groomed by a
sophomore, Joe Mccarthy, who is
taking his secondyear course in
major league managing after having
led the Louisville Colonies to many
triumphs The Pirates are fighting
under a freshman major league
manager, DOME Bush, who formerly
piloted the Indianapolis team. Bush
has had plenty of experience as a
major league ball player with Detroit.
and in addition a taste Of experience
as manager in the American League.
A third novice is managing a pen
nant contender in the National
League. He is Bob O'Farrell. leader
Of lthe st. Louis Cardinals. OF'arrell
on0e played with the Cubs. but he is
not an American Association man.
