ST. LOUIS, No, Sept. 22.-Many Of
the great managers of baseball have
learned the game from behind the
catchcr's mask and the big glove.
Topping them. Of course. are Connie
Mack. Wilbert Robinson and Dan
Howley.
A score Of other men who took q
fling at the managerial game at one
time or another came from the ranks
81 the backstops-Bill Killefer, Ray
Schalk, Bob O'Farrell and others.
Some az these men who later at
tanned prominence as managers new
er actually starred ms backstops, but
carried with them the knowledge OF
the game and the other attributes
that make for successful pilots.
Spent a pleasant evening with Bob
Coleman. president, owner and man
arer Of the Evansville club IF the
Three I league. on the way here.
Coleman started out ~ a receiver
and may well he listed among those
who failed 70 shine As 2 catcher, but
found hi forte in the managerial
end.
He broke into the game with
Springfield. III. In 1910. and moved
to Decatur and then to Davenport be
fore the season closed. and remained
with the latter club until the fall of
1918. when the Pittsburgh Pirates
signed him, only 70 turn him yer 10
Columbus in the A. "A. before he had
a chance 10 report.
He was back again with Pittsburgh
in 1914, played in some e games.
and then was turned back once more
To Columbus. where he played in '15.
The Cleveland club took him in the
spring Of 1916 and then gave him
the customary ticket 70 Columbus,
and that trip was good for two years.
Then. In 1918. he moved X Mobile
and his second year there was named
manager And with the exception Of
one brief eason as coach OF the Red
Sox, in 1926. he has managed minor
league clubs ever since with success.
After serving as pilot two years
at Mobile he moved to Terre Haute
where he led the club two campaigns.
In 1923-24 and 1925 b led the San
Antonio. Texas. club. After his year
with the Red Sox he managed Knox
vile in the South Atlantic for a
SNNA aA1 tANn tA1h NNGAEI OIL the
Evansville team.
His contribution of stars to the
majors this season includes Stone, a
youngster who celebrated his pres
ence with the Detroit Tigers recent
IN by seeking q home run TO win IA
much needed ball game.
Coleman has some interesting
slants on baseball IN general and the
minor league situation in particular.
II can't figure out how the ma
lor league managers can defend the
statement that there aren't as many
good prospects In the minors a. there
were years ago. The fact that there
are more strong minor leagues now
and that these leagues are playing a
better class Of ball refutes this.
III believe minor league clubs that
load up with veteran castoffs from
the major leagues make a big mis-
take, from a financial standpoint III
not from any other. Having suffered
2 poor year financially. IA minor lea
que club can only hope 10 break even
by dlsposing Of some of its Young
stars during the winter season. III
the club has little but veteran pIay.
