Cochrane, "Peepurs" Choice for President,
Doubtless viii Stick to Managing Tigers.
BY JOHN LARDNER-

serve the city of Detroit in the Ca
pacity Of manager of her base ball
club. Is there an individual in this
splendid and intelligent audience who
can rise to his feet and point the fin
ger of suspicion at Mr.. Cochrane and
say: That man has betrayed his
trust?" guess not.
guess there Is nobody In this
audience who can rise to his
feet at all, without the help of
pick-me-up.
So Mr.. Cochrane is reelected man
ager. To be truthful, that detail has
already been attended to by his boss.
Mr.. Frank Navin. It was Mr.. Navin,
on the advice Of Mr.. H. G. Salsinger
and other shrewd counselors, who
brought Mike to the automobile town.
It was the best investment he ever
made.
The Best ManaEer Yet.
THERE have been managers with
great winning records before
Mack. McGraw, Mccarthy. Grimm
and Street-but never one who batted
quite so high as Mike Cochrane Is
batting now. In his first year Of
service he took a second. division club
and won the pennant. In his second
year he repeated that feat and went
on to win the world selies. Unless
you want to quibble about the seventh
game of the series of 1885,, Mr.. Coch-
rane'S average is 1000.
The team he won with can
not b described as a ball Of fire
at least, not on paper.
It contains only one great player,
besides its manager. 1t possesses two
right-handed pitchers who compare
pretty favorably with the good ones
Of all time, but the rest Of the club
Is an in-and-out, hot-and- cold con-
glomeration. A great ball team would
not have been stymied twice in this
series. The Yankees of 1882 would
have battered the Cubs Of 1885 just
as horribly as they battered the 80
Cubs, Warneke Notwithstanding.
The marvel Is that Mickey Cochrane
did so well with the athletes ut his
disposal. So perfectly, In fact. Tom
Bridges pitched brilliant ball In the
ninth inning of the last game Of the
late world series. He simply poured
1t In. But he had o catcher who could
call for that curve and handle 1t.
And this catcher Is also his manager,
the manager who made him . con-
sistent winning pitcher instead Of Q
frail in-and-outer.
You can say the same for Schoolboy
Rowe, Goose Goslin, Pete Fox, Eldon
Auker, Bill Rogell, Flea Clifton and
Gen. Crowder. They all wear the
Cochrane trade mark.
II the rest Of the American
League remains at its current
level, they are likely to be wear
ing 1t through another world
series next year.
So I will not string along with the
guy in the green hat and nominate
Mr.. Cochrane for President. Wait
till 1913. BY that time he will be
ready to step over to washington.
make strengthening deal or two, and
steer the United States to three
straight pennants.

Work of Crowder, Bridges Under Trying
Conditions Series Best, Says Cochrane.

want to know what pick

asked. "All right. I'll give 'em to you
in about two words-Crowder and
Bridges-they put out two of the
gamest jobs I've seen in long time.
In the first place, Crowder's wife
has been desperately i'll. Crowder
himself Is suffering from ulcers of the
stomach. In spite Of these heavy
handicaps, working through freezing
wind. this bird pitched one Of the
smartest, gamest ball games I've seen
all year. It was a masterpiece. Re-
member, I told you last Spring that
Crowder would win l6 ball games this
year and at least one world series
starta That's his record for 1885,"
What about Bridges?" I asked.
Tommy Bridges had already pitched
one fine game. But working in a
cold. blasting wind had stiffened up
his arm and shoulder muscles. knew
In the sixth game that he wasn't
right. He wasn't Bridges near his
best. But he kept on giving every
thing he had in tough. tight game.
"When Hack hit that triple
in the ninth with nobody out,
knew We were up against II.
but instead Of weakening at this
spot, Bridges reached straight down
to the bottom of stout heart and
pulled out stuff he hadn't been able
to show all afternoon. He wasn't
going to be beaten. and there. was
nothing else to it. ! was catching
him, so know what he turned on.
1t was plenty. I was glad I was back
of the bat and not up at the plate.
Color and Action.
THIS wasn't the best played series
ever saw" Cochrane continued,
"but 1t was full OF color and action.
1t was the sort of series that thrills
q crowd. 1t figured to be spotty.
On our side we had a young ball
player at third, with our third base
man playing first. Defensively they
we're both great. Most of the Cubs
we're young fellows in their first world
series. But they we're tough to keep
down, and in Lon Warneke they had
as good a pitcher as any one wants.
The Cubs will be even harder to beat
next year. Speed, youth and spirit
can take you a long way in this
game"
What do you figure the star
play Of the series?" asked
Cochrane.
"Galan's catch in the second
game" Mickey answered. We had
two on when Goose Goslin started
one on a line for the center-field
seats. I thought it was a sure triple
maybe home run.
, II never saw any one fly as fast
along the ground as Galan did. He
moved like a jackrabbit. He was a
full stride away from the ball, which
was at least feet over his head
when he made his jump-forward
and upward. And this smash wasn't

Will Spend Half Million This

BY the Associated Press.
~ ETRoIT, October "a big
slice Of that world series gate
is going to stay right in the
ball park where most OF 1t
was earned.
Frank j. Navin, president Of the
Detroit base ball company, has an
nounced that he would spend $500, 900
this Winter in enlarging the seating
capacity Of Navin Field so that his
champion Tigers could play to bigger
house next season.
Navin told a group Of 800 business
men who paid IS each for the priv
ilege of crowding their knees under
the same banquet table with the
Tiger players at . victory dinner"
last night that his plans would add
10000 to $4,000 permanent seats.
President Navin dio not indicate
whether the enlargement Of the park
would be accomplished by construc-
ton of additional bleachers or by
addition Of another deck to the
pavilions.
Navin Answers Squawkefs.
TO BRING the park capacity TO
$4,000 for the world series, tempo
rary bleachers were constructed in left
field, extending over Cherry street. and
shortening left field to 304 feet.
Fans complained loudly because Of
the lack of seats for the series, and
some went 50 far as to propose a Ma
ton League club for Detroit 50 that
allegiance might be divided and en-
able more of them to cheer themselves
hoarse.
Navin wryly suggested at the ban
quet last night that Detroit's automo-
tive engineers might concentrate their
efforts on an arrangement whereby
800 900 fans, the number who applied
for series tickets, might be crammed
into $4,000 seats in case the Tigers
come back at the head of the league
next year.
