Rsckey,s Record as Card Pilot

Under Hickey, the Cardinals pulled up seventh in 1919, and tied the Cubs for fifth place the fol- lowing autumn. They made their best showings in 1921 and 1922, when they finished third.
 The Crimson Canaries begged down to fifth place in 1923, with Hornsby unable to perform regu- larly a good deal of then time, and ran sixth in 1924.
 There perhaps never was smarter baseball manager than Hickey as far as theory was con- cerned, but somehow he never could get his men to play up to his system.
 It was said that he had too many signals-that his players had to put up their hands to go to first base.
 Rickey remained collegiate after leaving college, and perhaps was too strict a disciplinarian.
 B. R. came in for a good deal of criticism for some of the old timers because of what he was and and what he stood for. He was regarded as a Sunday school guy" Bert Shotton was the Sunday manager of both the Browns and Cardinals while Hickey was at their helm. Rickey's strongest expletive was Judas Priest" He. was teetotaler.
 Some old -tAmers resented Rick ey's university degrees. They were inclined to ridicule his eff forts to produce in professiona! baseball some of the idealism of amateur athletics. They disliked his meetings, lectures. classes, blackboard, charts and diagrams.

TO-DA Y,S SPORT PARADE

Coming north yesterday Camp bell lashed through the measured mile in 12.81 seconds, for an av- craze speed of 281.030. Had he been able to knock off that ".81" he would have had 300 but he couldn't do it, for coming into the mile his wheels slipped twice, throwing rubber into his face. Had the tires held, and bit into the sand, his dream would have been fulfilled.
 They'll always slip, for it isn't natural to expect that nature will ever provide Il miles of billiard table beach. Somewhere down the line a vagrant wave, a puff of wind, will leave a ripple, and a ripple at Campbell's speed, spells the differ ence between success and failure.
 Campbell won't say whether he's convinced 300 is impossible. Asked whether he would make another try in an effort to fulfill his dream of 300 m. p. h., he said:
 q have no plans. Right now I don't know whether I'll go again or not. I might rest on the 276.816 of yesterday, and then again l might take Bluebird out for an- other run.
 He'll probably make another try. however, for Col. John McNamara, adjutant general of the state, and the man in charge of the trials, has been asked to stand by. The colonel wasn't asked to finger be- cause of his health, for he's TO- bust man.
 Campbelps ride yesterday, which looked so smooth to the 50,000 per- sons gathered on the dunes was, to use his own words, "the first time in my life I ever thought was dead sure to go west"
 ured mile" Sir Malcolm said "Bluebird hit bump that shook her like fish throwing a hook out its mouth. One moment she was running beautifully, g. smooth and steady flame licking across the beach. The next she was a wild thing, fighting for her head. As she came out the bump she leaped, 30 feet to the right straight toward the soft and treacherous<sand. l knew we were going west. But yanked her around. Spun the wheel as you would that of a passenger car at 50 miles an hour. And Blue bird answered.: yes, the old girl answered once more. She swung around to the level beach zig-zag- ged crazily for a moment, and then strengthened out"
 One of those who saw Bluebird swerve toward the dunes was Ma jor Goldie Gardiner, noted British racing driver and schoolmate or Campbell.
 By God, I thought he was done for" the major said afterward. T shut my eyes when Bluebird leaped in, the air, for there wasn't a chance in thousand shed straighten, out. Yet she did, and Malcolm is the only man l know who could have done it. And do you know, half dozen women on a cottage directly on the dunes, tainted dead away when the car went into it's tricks, it was an un- comfortable moment.
 Those who saw Campbell pass through the measured mile so smoothly and who thought he was exaggerating when he said the ride was so rough, changed their minds when they had a look at his tires The tires on Bluebird were torn to shreds. From top to bottom, and all around, they were chewed to bits.

Championship Club on Field

As B. R. points out, the cham pionship array of 1926 was on the field when Hornsby assumed com mand - Hornsby himself, O'Far- rell, Bottomley, Thevenow, Lester Bell. Holm, Toporcer, Flowers, southworth, Douthit, Hafey, Hal lahan, sherdel, Haines, Rhen1, Her man, Bell, Reinhart, and Keen, and the final touch was added to the pitching corps when the Chi cago Cubs shipped Grover Cleve- land Alexander down the river.
 The club, heavily in debt only a short while before, now had nine minor league franchises under its direction, and the pick of perhaps 300 players.
 So, admitting that perhaps Hornsby's driving methods were more productive of satisfactory re- suits than his own, Hickey re- mained as vice president and gen. eral manager of the Cardinals, and commenced devoting all of his time and attention to the vast farm system and the organization as a whole.
 Hickey made his bow as a man. ager by replacing George Stovail as head of the St Louis Browns in 1913. The club finished eighth. With no additional strength, the Browns made their best showing in several seasons in finishing fifth in 1914, after fighting for first place and remaining in the upper strata for the first half of the grind, The Browns wound up sixth in 1915, and Fielder Jones took charge when the club was sold to Philip de Catesby Ball as part of the peace settlement be- tween the majors and the Federal league. ~

 Last Friday Captain Aliens Fire Eaters pulled a great Hou- dini act by taking over Douglas Ding g-dang-doos, the league iead- CTS, for three easy games. How do you dot it Cap?
 Cipriano's Hot-Shots are still go- ing strong. Last week they lost the first game but settled down to bus- mess and won the next two with little difficulty. Bansleben's Ear benders were the victims. What sortof magical power has this CApriano team on the alleys?
 Last week we found only two bowlers on the absent list. Won- der who those two are.
 Individual honors went to Bob Mulhern with high single of 125, anod with scores of 94, 125, 95 he also carried off high three honors. Whattaman!
 That chest of Joe Damulis stuck out so far hat he couldn't ell whether he had brown shoes with black laces or visa-versa. Whats the idea, Joe, seen someone you knew?

B. R.'s Plan Too Complicated

As Bobby Wallace fears, Rick ey's biggest mistake was laboring under the belief that all of his players were as smart as he was. Branch had a sign flor everything, and was a marvel at getting those of the opposition.
 "When I played with the Browns under Branch Hickey, our club knew the hit and run sign, the signal for a steal, the waste ball sign, as well as practically every other signal used by our rivals, yet somehow we didn't get anywhere, says Wallace, who was one or the foremost shortstops.
 Rickey shifted his lineup at the slightest provocation. He played lunches. He removed regulars In a slump on the slightest excuse. He was charged with yanking pitchers too quickly. There always was a lack of stability to Hickey teams because the players reflected the spirit of their manager.
 Looking back on 1t all, Hickey denies that he ever was theor- ist.
 eyes, I once had a blackboard" explains B. R. "I wanted to teacn certain young fellows certain plays, and I invited the other players to listen in."
 The Cardinals executive showed how he illustrated catching a man off base, or how to hold him close enough to second base to prevent him from scoring on an ordinary single.
 Hickey made his points definitely clear with his @iagram.
 'In what other way could have elucidated that as well?"t he asked. Nobody can say that any part of my system--theories, if you iike-were unsound. am proud of them."
 Practices that Hickey put to work now are accepted as sound, workable, and intelligent parts of kha Gama.
