B. R. Succeeds StOvall; Managed Against Will

Colonel Hedges contemplated purchasing the Kansas City Blues from George Tebeau, and sought Hickey as head of the club. The deal fell through, and B. R. wound up as business manager Of the Browns. He also acted as a scout.
 "I believe it was letter l wrote for MT Hedges to a holdout that impressed my employer" says Hickey.
 Gradually, I assumed responsi- bilities for MT Hedges and one day, in 1913,I learned that George Stovall, because of an incident on the field, was to be released as manager. MT Hedges told me he wanted me to take charge of the club. I had no previous experience had been away from the playing side of the game for four yeras, and did not want the position.
 Ut was not> by personal choice that I managed either the Browns or the Cardinals. I took these places as a matter of expediency, and, in the case of the Cardinals, economy. Whether I was a sue cess or failure does not make much difference. I did not care to man age, but knowing that 1t was to fall to my lot, put a great deal of study into the thing"
 NEXT: Putting the Cardinals over.

NAUGATUCK " SPORTS
Especial to The De,nocraat)


 Naugatuck, March 1-Despite ( strong opposition from a fine Bridgeport team, the Naugatuck "" volleyball team added proof to its contention it is the best conn bine in the state by winning three games out of five from the Bridge- port sextet in match played Sat- urday at the local YMCA. llla
 The contest was good one and Bridgeport, which had been rated as about fair, showed 8 fine defen- sive team and spiker that rates with the best in the state. John Messaric a trifie above the average height, startled Naugatuck players with his ability to drive down. with bullet-like speed, shots whether they were set close to the net or far back.
 Such fine spikers as Fred Baker, George Halloway, Carl Hassell and Elton Abramson, were outclassed by this player who was the main cog in the visitors attack. How ever the Naugatuck attack was more consistent than that of the visitors and this was the point which turned the tide in favor or Naugatuck.
 The locals minus the services of Joe Smith, Elton Baramson, Baker, Fred Ashmore in the first game lost by a 15-8 score after Bridge port had run up nine straight points. However they come back to take the second game, 15-10 with strengthened lineup. They easily won the third, 15-6 and dropped the fourth in a close tilt, 1S-1S. They came through handily in the final tilt, 15-7.
 Ashmore, Baker, Squires, valin- ches, Abramson, Smith. Hasselis Alderson, Halloway and Whittiker played for Naugatuck. A return game with Bridgeport in the Park City is planned for later In the year.
 Next Saturday the locals expect to go to New York city where they will play the high-ranking West Side team in the West Side "Y"s Plans for the local entry in the national tourney to be held in Binghamton. N. Y. are being made. A committee to provide ways and means for securing money to finance the expenses the local team will incur has been appointed.
 Naugatuck. March 1--Nauga- tuck's high track prospects are much brighter now for Joe Traino, star runner of last year, reported for action last week. Joe is out to set a new record in the | 440 yard race at the state meet for high schools which will Dc held at Wesleyan university. Middle. town on Saturday, March 2Ss at which Naugatuck high will com- pete.
 Traino had not reported before this season, and there were xe- ports that all was not well on the 1 Potomoc," but he is back at work now and should be q distinct ns- set to the team. All practice thus l far has been indoors. John Nixon has been showing considerable promise in the pole vault and Phil ] Wslker In the high jump. sssss-

nbeate First Round Champs Lose Opening Series Contest
|BROOKLYllS WIN
 INITIAL PLAYOFF GAME FROM IRISH
First Round Champions Score But Eight Field
 Goals

Able to connect for just eight field goals in 65 attempts at the nets, or an average of one goal in every eight tries, the 1rish-Amer- jeans dropped 31-28 decision to the Brooklyn A. c. in the first game of their playoff for the championship of the City Amateur (pardon my southern accents League yesterday afternoon at the r. M. c. A.
 Money Men
 Nearly half of the 2s points scored by the losing team came from the free throw line while Brooklyn's points were gathered mostly in the last two periods af- ter a first period performance of juggling that was anything but in- pressive. Financial worries as to the dollar and cents value of cer- tain Irish-American players disor. ganized the starting lineup of the club while the management finally induced Balinsky, Stevens ana Tuckey to go on the floor.
 Poor Start
 The teams played all even. for the first ten minutes, each scoring five points while the Irish-Ameri. jeans, with the three holdouts in action, started to click and earned a 16-14 lead at half time, and kept up the good work to lead 2s-i9 at the close of the third period. After that Santopietro, Boley. Crichton and Harry Huey scored to promote 8 Brooklyn lead with Stevens and Johnson the only Irish to score before the finish.

MERCANTILE LEAGUE
 PIN CHATTER
(By The Chatterer)

In last weeks main attraction the Mixers took 2 games from the second place Bakers increas- ing their lead to 3 games. Bill Cunningham, the Prize Goat Get ter of the league had the poor Bakers missing spares and pins with his bright sayings, It took him one game to warm up, but when he got started nothing could stop him. Sssh! on the level Bill, I overheard the Bakers say that they are going to kidnap you the day before you roll them in the last round. A word to the wise is sufficient Bill. old man.
 P. S. Say fellows I wonder what Bill is going to do with all the goats he has now. It wouldn't be. a bad idea for him to sell them to the banquet committee for good goat banquet.
 Wee Wally Smith, Thompson and Cunningham as usual were the Mixers ace bowlers. Tony Rice and the father and son act of the Beardslee were the, best pinsters for the Bakers. Tough Bakers, better luck next time.
 The lowly Printers were sunk still farther into the mire of last place by the Painters. But boy, oh in thinking that they were only pushovers for them. When the games were over Joe Calo told me that he thought the Printers are the hardest team in the ciycuit to beat. They keep on plugging for those pins from beginning till the end of every game without any signs of letting up. With a few breaks now and then this team will make it hard for any of the teams in the league or city barring none. The Painters, all did some nice bowling. Joe Calo was high SCOT CT. Joe Klienman and S. Carlin did their bit for the Fruiters.
 Tn the other feature attraction the Cleaners beat the Grocers ? games, thereby wining undisputed possession of fifth place from the Grocers. Tony Palladino of the Cleaners finally hit over 300 for 3 games. Nice work Tony, keep 1t up. Rocky Massi and Tony were the small and big "noises" for the Nets. Ropes" Ropelewski helped the Grocers win the last game with a string of 151. Now. you are hit ting the naples Ropes" ola boy, lets see if you can beat that high single mark.
 The Oilers finally broke the .jinx which has been with them for 4 weeks by beating the Sears Roe- buck combine out of 3 games. The Hardware crew is the hardest luck team in the circuit. The first mishap or catastrophe that befell them was the illness of Hank" Lacilla, one of their best and most dependable man. Now that he IS back in the lineup after being ab- sent for 10 weeks, misfortune hit them in the transfer of willie" Huston to their Stamford store. He was only their anchor man, well, if that isn't hard and soft luck I don't know what is. Tough. It certainly is tough. Big Slim Gross was the winners topnotch piri-toppler. As usual Eddie Di- Napoli and George Gallulo were were the Hardware number one and two.
 This weeks big five were Joe Calo of the Painters S71, Eddie Di Napoli of the Hardwares 363. Rocky Massi of the Cleaners 362. Tony Rice of the Bakers 35S and Thompson of the Mixers 357.

After five years with the Browns, which saw him busted as manager in the peace settlement with the Federal League, the spirited Branch Hickey organized group of St Louisians that purchased the Cardinals from Mrs Helene Robin son Britton in 1917.
 Replaced as boss of the Browns by Fielder Jones when Philip de Catesby Ball bought the club at the conclusion of the 1915 season, ident and business manager on the strength of an unexpired contract.
 Ban Johnson appreciated Rickey's capabilities. The leader of the American League wanted to kep him in teh circuit. Ball didn't relish B. R.'s going over to the op- position. The league took the case to court, but Hickey won the suit and the right to the presidency of the National League club.
 Ricky. ably assisted by James c. Jones, prominent attorney, had civic leaders make a house. toulouse canvass, selling stock at $25 share.
 Sam Breadon, an automobile distributor, invested $2,000. He is president of the vast Cardinal system to-day, and this winter only a last minute hitch prevented him from selling his holdings to Lew Wentz, Oklahoma oil multi millionaire, for more than @ million.

Hickey Leaves New Venture Flat to Fight in France

Flat to Fight in France
 The Cardinals were a poor club, on the field and off, when Hickey assumed command, however. About the only things the organization had plenty of were debts, hopes, and energy, with the indefatigable Hickey supplying practically all of the latter.
 Miller Huggins was manager, and the American league retaliated for the loss of Hickey by snatch ing Huggins for the affluent New York Yankees after the first year.
 Things went from bad to worse, with Hickey himself capping the climax of resigning the presidency in June, 1918. to serve as major with the A. E. F. in the chemical warfare service.
 A third place club drifted to a tail-ender under Jack Hendricks while Hickey was away, and Hen- dricks was fired.
 The Cardinals were $175,000 in debt when Hickey returned from the war. The situation appeared hopeless, but the resourceful Rick ey had Rogers Hornsby and an idea. In the interest of economy. he decided to manage the Red Birds himself.
 Rickey's legal business at Boise, Idaho, was as poor as his health when physicians advised him to get out int othe open air in 1912.
 The man destined to introduce mass production ivory farming as head of the Cardinals didn't even have railroad fare when Col. Rob- ert Lee Hedges, owner of the Browns, asked him to meet him at Salt Lake for conference in regard to a baseball position. Col onel Hedges provided the necessary funds.
