But when the present season opened,
and the Tigers trailed far behind the
leaders, heard from friends in Detroit
that some of the critics, verbally and
in print, were leveling the old guns of
acrid criticism at Cochrane.
The boy - l can't help thinking of
him as "the boy" when look back to
1925. '26 and '2?, svcc:=: ;G.oush know
he's veteran by now - has certainly
done everything that could possibly
be asked of manager in two years.
He has developed young players. He
has handled veterans intelligently. He
has met adversely and has beaten it
back.
A year ago, during the first part of
the season, the Tigers were down in
the second division. They came to the
front rapidly to win. This year, bad
luck in the way of injuries, which had
passed him by in the first two seasons,
finally struck. ! don't know whether
Detroit will win another pennant this
year. doubt it. The law of averages
is against it; and the percentage"
plays big part in baseball.
But the fact remains that Cochrane
thus far has proved first-class man.
ager, with the possibility of moving
into the ranks of baseball's great man
ayers before he finishes.
He will, however, have to learn to
absorb criticism - unfair criticism;
and he'll have to learn to prime the
ball players of his club against it, too.
know about that criticism and how
it can bother ball club. During six
years of managing the Tigers, en-
countered it. know that man who
is as sincere in his work as Cochrane is,
will be peculiarly susceptible and SEN
sitive when the shots against him are
unfair and unwarranted.
For Cochrane, here's the test. If he
can stand up under this criticism -
then he'll take a long step forward.
Cochrane in two years as a manager
has made a great contribution to
Detroit and to baseball. The game had
been dead in Detroit since 1926. The
attendance had fallen off alarmingly.
The people of the city were over
wrought by the depression. The city's
morale was low. Detroit's chin was
not up.
Gordon Stanley Cochrane's remark
able success with the Tigers of 1884,
followed by second pennant and
worlds championship in 1885, had
tremendously beneficial effect not only
on the sports populace but on the
entire city. I'd like to bet that Office
executives and the heads of industrial
plants noted the results. Detroit S chin
came up again.

thing" "Cochrane hitched up his pants,
took his stance at the plate, cracked
a single to left that broke up the ball
game. He finished the game behind
the plate, catching for Perkins.
And for the next 134 games in
row. as l recall it. it was Cochrane
who caught the slants OF Lefty Grove,
Eddie Rommel, Sam Gray, Rube
Walberg and the others while Perkins
continued to do his great share in
smoothing Cochrane's form behind
the plate The treatment was so sue
cessful that before the end of the
season the finesse Cochrane had de-
velOped. along with the hitting power
he was able to generate and his marked
ability in handling men and keeping
his team on its toes, made him the
outstanding young catcher of the
season.
To me - and perhaps you'll recall
that / never went in much for SEN
timent or sweetness and light when l
was in the thick of the fight myself -
the unselfshness of Perkins and the
sincere manner in which he helped
Cochrane at the cost of his own job
was one of the finest things know of
in any sport, amateur or professional.
Little wonder that Cochrane's first
demand, when he was offered the
managership of the Tigers. was that
Il want Cy Perkins as my chief aide"
Cochrane was rated star - base
balls outstanding catcher - when l
joined the Athletics in 1927, my career
as Tiger having come to an end. But
stardom had not changed him bit.
Always was he eager to learn. He
would talk baseball morning, noon
and night. AS rival, when the Tigers
had met the AS, had known him for
ia fighter, a hustler, a strong willed
youth with mind that worked in
split seconds and with no regard what
ever for names. regulations or flashing
spikes on the base lines.

The Boss Tiger

He jumped up and down on the head
piece while he let out blast at the
loss of the ball game.
Cochrane had been seething since
the end of the game. His rage had been
penned up inside. Now, able to let go
without being seen and criticized by
outsiders. he put on one of the greatest
examples of what it means to be a
"hard loser" that I've ever seen. And
I've been around for long time, and
have done some hard losing myself.
Mike Cochrane is a hard loser.
That's one of the characteristics which
has helped to make him great ball
player, and believe, a candidate for
true greatness as manager. want a
ball player who is hard loser if, in his
chagrin. he doesn't forget to analyze
and to correct the defects that helped
bring about defeat. AS player, Mike
Cochrane did that. AS manager, too.
l believe he has done so.
Id say that Cochrane has been a
conspicuous success as manager in
his two seasons at the helm of the
Tiger craft, because he is what is so
often loosely termed a born leader.
He is "do-as-I-do." not a "do-as-I-
say" leader. could see that back in
1926 and '27. when he was behind the
bat for Connie Mack Around Boston
they tell me how they got glimpses of
the same characteristics when he was
a 165-pound halfback for Boston
University l believe Cochrane can
drive men without appearing to drive
them, and that this quality. fully as
much as the thought processes which
have helped him to become distinc-
tive athlete, is responsible for his sue
cess as manager.
1t is this quality as a leader, as
manager. that will interest baseball
people henceforth in Cochrane more
than his rating as a player. AS a
player, his record is secure now. In
eleven years of big-league labor. he
has won no major individual cham
pionship, but he has been so con-
sistently good in his catching, in his
handling of pitchers, in his strategy
and in his batting. with an all-time
average of .32l, that he is recognized
as the king of the catchers. Richly has
he deserved the Most Valuable Player
awards that have come to him.
But it is as a manager, a baseball
general, that his career stretches
ahead.
As manager, he has certainly been
smacking success thus far, with two
American League pennants and one
worlds championship in his first two
seasons. If that isn't par for the
course, I'd like to inquire what is.

WHAT NEXT?

A new mining process for the
white mineral, barite, has been de-
veloped and promises to enhance the
wealth of seven states that produce
the metal. The new process isfota-
tion, something old in mining, but
never before applied to barite. Ba-
rite heretofore has been purified only
in Washington, by the gravitational
method. The new process was de-
veloped by the Southern experiment
station of the United States Bureau
of Mines, in cooperation with the
University of Alabama. Barite is
used to manufacture lithophone, which
is employed extensively in making
linoleum, rubber tires and white
pigment.

Laundry Workers Plan
Big New York Campaign

New York City, (ILNS).-Meeting
in the offices of the Central Trades
and Labor Council, a group of labor
officials, all belonging to unions in
the A. F. of t., planned drive to
organize 10000 laundry workers in
this city as 'labor's reply to the
Supreme Court" When the drive
is finished here, it will be taken up
in Chicago; for the plans of the Laun-
dry Workers Union are nation wide.
Roy Burt, president of the Laun-
dry Workers, came from San Fran
cisco to head the campaign.
"Our experience has demonstrated
that labor must look to its own
strength for its salvation" said Burt
in an interview. Neither courts nor
laws can safeguard US in our right
to decent conditions of labor"
Burt declared further that only a
small minority of laundry owners are
sticking to the provisions of the min
imum wage law since that law was
invalidated by the Supreme Court

A statement from the executive
council Of the Southern Tenant Farm

strike, called May 25.
1T has forced higher wages for
thousands of day laborers and has

workers in the cotton fields have be-
come aware of their common inter-
ests, and are willing to get together
and fight for them," the statement
said.
