Hard.Worklng Leader of New York Yankees.
There !h no keener student In bnscbo" tlinu Miller Muggins, monngor of
tho New York American leaguo team. Ho constantly Is thinking out plays,
and tries to Implant his Ideas on the men he commands, lie Is u clever Judgo
of pitchers, and though ho always played the Inlield, ho can teach u young
pitcher moro than tho neruge retired star moundsmnn.
Not Popular With Fans.
Desplto his success here, It nevertheless Is true that Hugglns has not won
n great deal of popularity In New York, complains u New York critic. Ho has
won many acknowledgments of his ahlllty, but tho fans do not feel for him
like they do for Mctlruw or llko they did for some of his numerous predeces
sors, particularly Clark Grllllth and Bill Donovan.
Hugglns largely Is to blame for tho fact that he has not won more popu
larity In Now York. Ho discounts both popularity and publicity. Desplto tho
fact that ho Is ono of tho smartest men that ever trod on a hall Hold, and Is u
lnwyer In tho bargain, ho does not seem to realize what assets popularity and
publicity can bo to u successful manager.
Lets Huston Do Mixing.
Ho Is willing to let the congenial "Cap" Huston do all tho mixing for tho
club. Thero perhaps never was a club In which there was greater Intimacy
between tho owners and baseball writers than there Is between Buppurt and
Huston nnd tho Now York Chapter of Baseball Writers, yet on tho other hand,
few managers aro us distant from tho men who write of the exploits of their
team as Hugglns.

POCKETS BARRED BY
CHRIS VON DER AHF
Cincinnati Won From St. Louis
Through Odd Accident.
Ball Hit by Visiting Player Got Stuck
In Pocket of Carroll and Batter
Scored Before Sphere Could
Be Extracted.
Way back In '89 Clnclnnntl was play
ing ono afternoon with Chris Von Der
Abe's St. Louis aggregation on the St.
Louis grounds.
Cincinnati had a man on first base
and two out, and needed two runs to
win.
Clllt Carroll was playing center field
for tho St. Louis nine. The Clncln
nntl batter hit n slow grounder to cen
ter, and Carroll ran up to gather It In.
Tho situation was ticklish, and Car
roll prepared to Held the ball carefully.
Ho squatted down to meet It, and got
his hands in position, .lust before It
reached him the ball hit u clump of
dirt a:M bounded high. Carroll grabbed
for It with both hands, Just as It hit
him In the chest.
Somehow In the struggle the ball
was wedged Into tho pocket of Car
roll's uniform shirt. It got In there,
nnd Cliff had n terrlblo time trying to
get It out.
The runner slopped at second long
enough to see that something was tho
matter. Then he started for home,
with Carroll still digging uwny at his
shirt pocket.
Tho result was that the runner got
homo safely and Cincinnati won the
game.
Von Der Alio almost had n fit. Ho
lined Carroll llfty for putting tho ball
In his pocket and mado a rulo that
thereafter no pockets of any kind
should bo allowed in the uniforms of
his team.

quite satisfied that ho would make

mid then one day he saw F-ed Tenney.
Tenney was a wonder in those days,
,iind Kvans was amazed al tho way
ho covered that' old bag. Ho looked
at him in silence for perhaps live min

ho throw down his llrst baseman's
mitt.
" 'I thought I was a firt baseman,' ho
said, with a shako of his head, 'hut I'm

Although ho hasn't et bad nn op

Pitchers With Deranged Hurling Apparatus.
Pitching arms nro as fragile as Dres
den china. Moro than one young (ling
er nenrlng the crest of his career has
had to pop out of the pastlmlng lie
cause ho was unfortunate enough to
derange his hurling apparatus.
A fresh case bringing this thought
to mind bus been the experience of
Ford Schupp, tho brilliant New York
southsltler, who In 11)17 pitched the
Olnnts to n pennant by winning 21
games out of 28 starts and followed
this feat by blanking tho White Sox
ft to 0 In the fourth game of tho
world's series thnt fall.
Break Down of Schupp.
When tho season of 1010 opened Mc
graw thought ho bad ono of the best
pitchers In tho country, but something
happened to Schupp's arm and tho big
winner of 1017 could only pitch .13 In
nings In the whole season of 1018 nnd
was odlclally charged with ono defent
nnd not credited with nny wins.
It was thought that a long rest
would restoro the strength to
Schupp's arm, but on tho training trip
It was soon evident that tho trouble
bad not been removed, nnd while- Mc
Oraw held on to tho lefthander ho
finally traded him to St. I.ouls. This
Is rough on Schupp, who now Is Just
twenty-seven years old, and bad n big
future and n fat poy envelopo ahead
of him.
Caso of Chalmers.
Thero never was a moro pathetic
caso of a pitching career ruined by
an Injured arm than that of George
Chalmers, the former Phil. Chal
mers camo to tho Phils In the
fall of 1010 and his debut was to blank
tho Giants. In 1011 ho showed prom
ise of developing Into a star. But
something happened In tho fall of
1011.
After tho closo of the season
Chalmers went on a playing Jaunt to
Cuba with n number of other Phils.
On tho wny over whllo skylarking on
tho deck of tho steamship Chalmers
fell down a companion way. It would
have been nn ordinary accident for
anyone except u pitcher. His pitching
arm was under him as ho fell and liga
ments wero torn.
Chalmers did not pay much atten
tion to the Injury until tho following
spring when he found bo could not uso
bis nrm. Ho never was able to -pitch
many games after that and In 1015
was sent to New York only to bo re
leased shortly after tho training trip.
Put Moran decided to give him an
other chance and regained him nnd ho
won eight games and lost nine In that
season, hut he never was tho Chnlmcrs
of 1011, although onco In n whllo ho
did show strenks approximating his
frrmer grentness. Ho was soon sent
to tho minors, when still under tho
thirty-year mark.
Pat Moran often said that Chalmers
would tyivo been fully ns great as
Alexander had It not been for thnt
damaging tumblo on board ship.
Joe Wood's Arm Gone.
.Too Wood of the Bed Sox was tho
master fllnger of tho American leaguo
In 1012 nnd topped a remarkable sea
sou In the championship raco by pitch
ing Boston to victory In tho lengthy
vorld series thnt year.
Tho strain of that year was eo
severe that Wood's arm gnvo way nnd
ho never was of much account to Bos
ton nfter that, in 101SJ ho won 111
games, but In 101!l could turn In only
1.1 wins, qulto u slump. Later Wood
was sold to Cleveland nnd seeing that
ho could not pitch again ho went Into
,lho outfield and started a second suc
cessful professional career, this tlmo
as n gardener. And yet Wood was
only twenty-three yenrs old when ho
hurt his arm.
Thero nro mnny moro Instances of
budding young pitchers with fnmo bc
fnro them who wero suddenly rustled
out of tho baseball arena becauso they

wings.
