For the first time in several years

Lynwood said today. Just let Rowe
forget that arm"
Unable to.pitch effectively in 1897
and 1888 because of arm trouble,
Rowe came back last season to win

To add further to their argument
that the best pilots were only ordl-
nary players are the managerial
records of the first five men nam
I'd to the Hall Of Fame-Babe Ruth'
Hans Wagner, Ty Cobb, Walter
johnson and Christy M~athewsoH.
Ruth and Wagner never got the
chance and of the others only
Mathewson who steered Cinclnnatls
destinie, for two and a a years
showed anything.
Instances today in the same cate
CORY are Doc Prothro, OF the Fh.i-
lies, Del Baker, of the Tigers, Bill
McKechnie, of the Reds, and Kay
Blades, of the Cards.
However, today's managers also
include some very good players
such as, Bill Terry, of the Giants
frankie Frisch, of the Pirates
Casey Stengel, of the Boston Bees,
Leo Durocher, Of Brooklyn, GabbJ
Hartnett, of the Cubs, and Joe
Cronin, of the Boston Sox.
Connie Mack, Fred Haney, Bucky
Harris. Oscar Witt and Jimmy
DYKES, who are among the leading
managers today, were at one time
fairly good players.
So adding it all together, the
argument doesn't mean much either
way. And it can letter be summed
I'D with the expression of some
n sometime that it's what's above
the shoulders that really counts In
the managerial business.
