Majors Reckoning Marunue Boox Groye Grifs Pet Victims
HAS FINE RECORD
AS BUSH MANAGER
Rabbit, a True Big Lacquer,
Once Too irresponsible
to Handle Club.
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

n JEW YORK. August 2l.-The
~ SniperS in the bleacherS
Y around the major league cir
cults are drawing beads on
some of the managers and it is a
clnch that, before another season rolls
ground, some of them will have been
shot right out of their Jobs.
This will call for some new man.
ayers, naturally, and nominations
seem to be in order already. One
minor league manager who is getting
q lot of consideration, or so l hear,
Is Rabbit Maranville-and l don't
know who could vote against the
Rabbit.
1t is agreed pretty generally that,
In two years as a minor league pilot,
one year in Elmlra, the other in Mon
treal. the Rabbit has demonstrated
his fitness. And if ever a man be-
longed in the big leagues, in one
capacity or another it is the Rabbit.
For the Rabbit is big Lacquer. There
are some fellows who spend most of
their lives in the big leagues, yet
never are big leaguerS. The real big
Lacquer not only plays like one-but
thinks and acts like one, on or off
the field. And in this category Mar
snvllle most certainly belongs. 1t
doesn't make any difference where he
is, either Right now, he is big
Lacquer in a minor league town.
Rabbit Wasn't Ready.
THE Rabbit, of course, has been a
richly colorful character ever
slnce he bObbed out of Springfield,
Mass, to Join the Boston Club away
back in 1912 or Whereabouts. His
career was cut to bizarre pattern.
More than once it seemed at an end,
but he always came charging back
One of his most fantastic feats was
that of playing in two world series
IA years apart-Wlth the Braves in
1914 and with the Cardinals in 1928
Between those series he had covered
q lot of ground. He had been a blue
Jacket on the U. S. s. PENNSYLVANIA
during the war, had been with the Pi-
rates, the Cubs and the Dodgers, had
made trip back to the minor leagues
But there he was in 1928. up again IN
the major leagues, this time with the
Cardinals and playing in a world series
against the Yankees. And, after all
his roaming, he wound up his playing
days where he had begun them-in
Boston.
Maranville had one shot at manag-
ing a bigleague ball club He man
aged the Cubs for a part of one sea-
son and then withdrew by mutual con-
eent-his own and the ball clubs.
But that shouldn't be held against
him now. He wasn't ready for the job
then. He was having too good time
on the field and off-in those days. I
don't know how it happened that he
got himself into the job. But he prac-
tically laughed himself out of it. The
cares Of the job weighed so lightly
upon him that most of the time he
didn't know they were there He
couldn't discipline his players because
he didn't discipline himself

hive but, by the same token. Back Bay
does not think that Bill will be
sucker enough TO go to Cleveland.
Unless amended one who is close
to McKechnie, Bill goes to Cleveland
with the stipulation that he can take
his own newspaper men with him.
Why, he isn't sap enough to walk
right into a nest of second-guessing
wolves like those guys"
The suggestion is that McKechnie
will sit back and wait for offers this
Winter. The chances are that Pie
Traynor will be replaced as manager
at Pittsburgh. And Charley Dresser
also is likely to be looking for d Job
after the Reds give him the old
heave-ho.
The Browns may or may not
supplant Jim Bottomley. At
Cleveland O'Neill, of course, is
almost sure to 20. And BOlley
Grimes at Brooklyn has no
clincher on his job.
McKechnie, then, can play the field.
And, if nothing develops, he can al
ways go back to his hokus-p -pokus with
the Bees. He, not Cronin is the Bos-
ton manager most likely to move, and
McKechnie has no papa-in-law who
owns ball club.

Late Washington Rally Tells.

WASHINGTON remained in the
running with an lis victory
over Baltimore, the score making it
appear as if the locals had an easier
time of it than they did, however.
Not until the eighth and ninth in
nings did Washington clinch the game
by getting three runs in each frame
Once again it was old Heine Webb
who saved the game for the host
team, Heine entering the game after
Baltimore had tied the score in the
seventh and shutting it out with two
hits over the remainder of the dis
tance.
Charley Holbrook led Washington's
attack with three hits in three trips
to the plate. Holbrook also contrib
uted two sacrifices which led to
scores, knocked in a run and scored
two himself.

Hopes were high when the first game
started at II O'Clock, however. for the
locals could blame one inning in their
game with New York on Thursday
which left the visitors. and not them

which New York scored four Of its six

BUGS Need Pitching.

HE momentary breathing spell the
Cubs enjoyed after Thursdays S
victory didn't last nearly long enough
for them, for they dropped a ga de-
cision to the Reds last night in Gin
cinnati. This setback. coupled with the
Giants 2l-hit, 1876 win over the
Phillies, and the Pirates IA edge over
the Cardinals on yesterdays bill made
it horse from a different garage, as
they say on Delaney street.
The Pirates particular need at the
moment is pitching proves. If those
throWers ever return to the form they
displayed earlier in the season, and
hook up with the hitting dynamite
the Bucs are exploding all over the
place these days. the Pirates will be
about the toughest nut to crack in the
league.
They've been coming back with the
speed of a rubber check since they
began their current drive IL days ago
In that stretch, they've taken eight de-
cisions in IL games, relying strictly on
a batting bonbardment that has
netted 1876 hits, an average of better
than II per game.

OF COURSE, Harris has three more
games to play here before heading
West for the final inland swing Of the
season. And Bucky is none too well
prepared for this test in a pitching
way. Pete. Appleton must be started
today and in tomorrows double header
he plans to start Jimmy De Shong in
the opener and to use a lot of guys
named Joe in the nightcap. That is
how hard up Harris is for pitching.
Still and all. Bucky does not figure
TO finish the season without holding
an edge over the club that fired him.
He managed TO beat the Sox in 1885
and 1886 and seems well on his way TO
third order of vengeance on toast
this year
With only 10 games left with the
Red Sox, his club needs only to win
three to finish with an edge for the
year. If the Sox win seven of the next
10 the Mats still will hold an edge
with II wins as against IL defeats.

NEW YORK, Mar. 4. American friends invited Cornelius Van Don gen to Christmas dinner here, so he hopped on the boat train from Paris, and here he is. W
 You can see by this that he mas not been here long, but already, Inc says, T am 100 per cent Am lerican." At tet . ''New York is reStful, it's like Hol- land, n he goes on, not noticing or perhaps disregardmg the incredu- lity on his intervicwer's face. You have the same way of living here so orderly. It's not like Paris, where everybody, everything Che gestures) gees back and forth and around y Van Dongen, 58, blue-eyed and sporting a white beard, is interna- tionally known as a painter of wo- men. Of Dutch extraction, he has lived in Paris and other parts of France so long that the Gallic ges- ture has become his own. Like many continentals he talks with charm and wit-but under protest.
 He Calls This 'Nonsense'
 My business is to paint" he says. Why should I talk? When I talk, I say nonsense"
 But his nonsense" turns out to be witticisms that bask in his smile, that light up the twinkle in his eyes. that fade away in the applause of his own laughter.
 Of women
 Look at the hats they wear. It's awful. But life is always amusing why not amusing hats?" Its easy to paint women. They do half the work"
 Of types
 "All over the world you see the same types, the same faces. For me, they are the same people"
 Of painting generally
 "Everybodys painting-but what stuff, eh?"
 Of his painting in particular -
 q only like my own paintings. If I liked somebody elses work, I would want to paint like him. Every artist should put himself first"
 Feels Younger Here
 Van Dongen likes to dance and go out. "Yes, but am not good for anything but painting" he insists. IT am still studying. It makes me younger to come here. In Europe, even the young people are old Here people are young, hopeful"
 He prefers to paint women wear ing evening clothes. They are more glamorous then, he says. Whether he is painting cabaret girl, an actress, or a society woman, some thing mysterious, elusive, provoking appears in his portraits. It is his homage to women
