Study Present Crop

Take the present crop of big
league managers. Probably not
more than four out of the sixteen
would have to be reckoned with
when the roundup of all-time stars
is made. They are Mickey Coch-
rane of the Tigers, who was a catch
err; Frank Frisch of the st. Louis
Cards, who was a second baseman;
Bill Terry of the Giants, who was a
first baseman, and "Pie" Traynor
of the Pittsburgh Pirates, who was
a third baseman. And not all four
of these could be counted completely
successful managers.
Then study the other side of the
picture. Joe Mccarthy of the New
York Yankees would have no trou-
BILE in proving he is a successful
manager. Yet he was never a good
enough player to land big league
job and spent his playing days in
the kerosene circuit. Bill McKech-
ME, now at Cincinnati, who was
success at st. Louis, Pittsburgh and
Boston, was just another ball player
in his day. Nobody ever called him
a star.
Connie Mack, who must be reck-
oned as the No. manager for all

Case of Jimmy Wilson

Jimmy Wilson, manager of the
Phillies, was better than-average
catcher, but not an immortal. Still,
he's a good manager in a rather
hopeless spot. Casey Stengel, now
pilot of the Boston Bees, was a
f1ashy, aggressive player, somewhat
theatrical. He was hardly star,
but he can be regarded as a good
manager. Gabby Street, who once
won a pennant for the Cards and is
present manager of the st. Louis
Browns, was an adequate catcher,
but not a star. He derived his prin-
cipal fame from having been Wal
ter Johnson's battery mate.
Charley Grimm, manager of the
Cubs and successful in making them
finish one, two, three in the Ma
tional league in the past five years,
was not an all-time star as first
basemen go in his playing days. He
was graceful and resourceful, but
there are a few that would outrank
him in all-star reckonings.
Oscar Witt, the newcomer in the
major leagues managerial ranks as
pilot of the Cleveland Indians, has
not yet had chance to prove his
worth in the fastest company. He
was definitely not a top-rank star
when he was actively toiling for
the Detroit Tigers some years ago.

Dodger Finances Again

MYTH what promises to be one

ball seasons on record coming up
in 1888, the sorry plight ofthe Brook

National league.
They are sitting by helplessIy and
not laughing while strife and indie
cision in the Dodgers front office
tears the stuffing out of one of the
most valua BILE holdings in the bust
ness.
There is gloom in the other Offices
when the subject comes up. They
just have heard that the Dodgers
1888 spring training schedule has
been made out for them by the
Yankees, there being no one in the
demoralized Brooklyn headquarters
to attend to such chores since Gen.
eral Manager John German got his
walking papers some weeks ago.
Here and There
Probably the most nettled victim
of that recent pea soup fog in Lon
don was the goalkeeper of soccer
team who stuck doggedly to his
post not knowing the game had been
called off until long after the other
players had left the field. A search
ing party finally found him /.

Dodgers is supposed to be one of
the hardest assignments. in base

in 1881 to become a scout for the
Dodgers, is thriving upon it 4.

Coach Blasts Alumni

MOST Of the ten football coaches
lVA who lost their jobs at the end
of the 1897 season would probably
add a hearty "Amen" to the re-
marks of l.. c. Boles, athletic direc-
tor at Wooster (Ohio) college before
the recent meeting of the College
Physical Directors society at New
Orleans.
He charged that Influential alum
nj, trustees and curbstone coaches
can still bring sufficient pressure"
to force the dismissal of athletic
instructors simply because they fail
to produce winning steams.
Referring to the t"pressure"
brought on university authorities to-
drop instructors not producing
enough victories, Boles said:
cat this very moment, able mem
bers of college physical education
departments, who, according to
their contract, were regular mem
bers of their college faculties, are
now looking for a new position be-
cause the win at any cost group
is dissatisfied with their coaching
record"
Boles said one was led to believe
a sports writer in a recent magazine
article had shit the bull s-eye" when
he referred to college football as
zone of the last great strongholds-
of old-fashioned American hypoc-
risy."
Appeals from college presidents
to their alumni to come to the sup
port of the athletic team, Boles said,
indicate the close tieup with college
finances.
ttThe many postseason, so-called
bowl games have resulted in many
undesirable rumors," the coach as.
serted.
The ten coaches whose official
heads fell after the 1897 season
were: Harvey Hartman of Pennsyl-
vania, Harry Kipke of Michigan,
Prince Callison of Oregon, Harry
Mehre of Georgia, Ed. Walker of
Mississippi, Don McCallister of
South Carolina, Ralph Sasse of Mis-
sissippi State, Tom Sullivan of st.

USES sUSPENDERS TO HOLD

.... POLICY SLIP

There are all kinds of ways to hide
policy slips, but it remained for Sam
Cummings, So, to use pair of sus,
penders not only to hold up his pants
but to conceal his illegal activities.
Cummings was arraigned before
Magistrate Peter Abeles in Washing
ton Heights Court on Saturday on a
charge of possessing policy slips after
Plainclothesman Harry Sullivan said
that when he searched Cummings he
found slip containing SO numbers.
Sullivan told the Magistrate that
Cummings told him when he searched
him: you've got me wrong. Why, l
think so much of the law, even wear
suspenders with the word Police en-
graved on the buckles" ..-
But under one of the buckles, Sulii
van said he found the policy slip and
Cummings was taken to court where
he was held in $500 bail for trial in
Special Sessions
