FIFTEEN PILOTS

Harry Wright Started Ball
Rolling in 1869.

There were and are Is managers
who lasted 10 or more years as lead
ers of major league clubs, which Is
long time to stick in such strenuous
position.
Harry Wright began managing
clubs in 1869. For stretch of %
years Wright led ball teams to pen
nants and other positions with the
Cincinnati club until 1870, then with
the Boston and on to the Philadelphia
club, where he ended his managerial
career in 1898. Highly successful and
of lovable disposition, Harry Wright
was one of the most popular managers
the game ever contained.
Adrian c. Arson led the Chicago
club from 1879 until 1897, a period of
10 years. He made that club famous.
He was one of the greatest leaders the
game ever had. 1t was his fearless
aggressiveness and strict honesty, to-
gether with a powerful bat, that made
Arson and the Chicago club famous.
Frank Selee was one of the most
successful leaders in the game. lie

the Boston club he led it to five pen

"Flying Scotsman" Train
Has Nonstop Record

Englands Twentieth Century Lin
ited," the Flying Scotsman" has just
begun making the longest nonstop run
in the world-the 392 miles between
London and Edinburgh.
Comfort, not speed is the object, for
the time remains at eight and a quar-
ter hours. Heretofore there has been
no way of changing engine crews with
out stopping the train, since ii was
held dangerous for two crews to &C
cupy the cab at the same time.
Special locomotive tenders solve that
problem. AT the end of 200 miles a
fresh driver and firemen emerge from
the first coach, go through a covered
corridor or gangway along the right
side of the tender, and take over the
engine. The men relieved go back
the same way and finish the trip as
passengers.

Chance, his successor, pennant win
ner ready for action.
Edward Hanlon led many teams and
for IL years was regarded as one of
the greatest leaders of the pastime.
Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Brooklyn,
all became great aggregations under
his leadership.
Fred Clarke managed the Louisville
club three years, then became manager
of the Pittsburgh club and for sixteen
years successfully managed that club.
During his nineteen years as man.
ager of ball clubs Clarke won four
pennants and in only two seasons did
his club finish in second division.
Charley Comiskey was highly sue
cessful leader. For fifteen years he
was classed with the great ones of the
game. His efforts while with the ST..
Louis Browns resulted in that club,
winning four successive pennants. He
made the club the most famous in the
pastime. With the Cincinnati club
three years, then with his own club,
the Chicago White SOx, which he led
in person for three years with much
success. Comiskey then began to hire
managers.
Wilbert Robinson is now in his fif-
teenth year as manager of the Brook
Ign club. 1t was difficult to get Uncle
Robbie to venture into the strenuous
life, but when he did accept, it was
for keeps. Robinson has had his share
of success as well as a good share of
the bitter stuff.

Como Sc Llama" Was All
Foreign to Burt Shotton

This one still gets a laugh every
time ii is told in Ell Paso, Texas. Ell
Paso, being border city, almost every
one has slight knowledge of Spanish,
but it happened that Burt Shotton,
now manager of the PhiIlies, was not
up on his romance languages.
Shotton was with the Cardinals at
the time and was coaching at third
base in an exhibition game. new
batter had taken his place at the plate
as a pinch hitter.
Some fan in the stands failed to
catch the name so he called upon
ShottOn for the information. "Como
Sc llama!" yelled the fan, which in
the best Spanish means, 'tWhat is the
name?'
Burt was always an accommodating
fellow and he wanted to oblige this
fan. So turning to the stands and
cupping his hands at his mouth, he
replied, Il haven't got any, 1t failed
to answer the question, but it did pro-
vide good laugh.

7ILDEN FACING
 END 0F CAREER
Surprising Upset Takes Place in
 EaSt-West Tournament

New York, Aug 1e CUP>-The closing chapters of William T. Til den's long rule of American tennis circles are being written in a strange tone.
 Yesterday he was barred from competition in the annual east west ! matches because of the amateur rule that threatened to bar him from the Davis Cup competition, and then few hours later he was defeated, easily. by man who has never ranked higher than the mid 1le of the American second team.
 II was not the Bill Tilden of 1921 the young American hope who rose meteorically to lead the attack that won the Davis Cup m Auck- land, New Zealand-that Fritz Mer- cur of Harrisburg, Pa. defeated at the annual Westchester- -Biltmore club yesterday.
 IL was rather a pathetic Tllden. He erred regularly. The dash of his game was not there. His terrific vol leys were missing The tantalizing, slow spinning ball that Mercur sent over to America s No player seemed to have Tilden bested. Til den didn't seem to care much and the famous rallies that have become part of his game. never were tried
 He went down in straight sets, b-o, 6-4.
 lt was the worst defeat Tllden 5 tennis has taken in years, for in his other defeats he has been heSted by men generally within the first five of international competition.
 Almost as surprising yesterday at Rye, N. l.. was the defeat of Frank Hunter by Berkley Bell of Texas at 6-4, 1-5. Hunted and Tilden had al most been conceded as tinalists. But Bell who recently won the South- ampton tournament, staged sav- age attack to oNerwhelm the No. 2 Davis Cup man of the United States. Hunter played powerfully but Bel! called on reserve and finished the match with two terrific cross court bombardments. one back hand placement that Hunter could not reach.
 Today at Rye will find youngsters competing in the semi-tnals. George Lott and Fritz Mercur. John Doeg and Bertley Bell.
 Hunter also will be out of the East-West tennis matches at Forest Hills. When P. Schuyler Van Bloem. vice president of the |. S. l.. T.
