Did Chance Start School of Real Team
Managers? Tinker and Evers Answer
With the great Chicago National
Icuguo machine finally broken up t>;
tin* net of President Murphy l”. ,1c
posing the mnnuKer who won him
four pcnnuut.H and two world's « uain
ploushlps, an opportunity now offers
to nee whitl Manager Chance durian
his decade at the helm hn» accom
plished In the way of developing
luihlmll generals. write* James (*.
Isauiingcr in the Philadelphia In
quirer.
Evers has already signed with
President Murphy to take the place
of Chance ns manaßer of the Cuba.
Tinker has the proffer of the man
agership of Cimlunatl if a trade can
lie arralifted that will give the Culm
a shortstop, and It Is understood that
a strong effort Ih in progress to get
Jimmy Slier kard to Urookljn.
With these tnree men holding big j
hague berths, a fine chance would be i
affoMcd to see whether the Cub |
leader has turned out a new school
of managers.
All three of the men are conceded
lv most intelligent ball players. In
point of acumen, quick diamond wit
and Intuition. Tinker and Evers were
rated as the greatest pair around
second base in the game until Hurry
and Collina came along to dispute the
honor with them.
It was the quick wit of Kvers that
called attention to the memorable
blunder of Merklo In not touching
second In the famous tied game with
New York, and during nil the period
of surceases to the rrcdlt of the Cubs
was always an Invaluable lieutenant
to n superb leader.
Tinker Is also rated aa a great tac.
tlcinn. Ed Reulbach, the Cub pitcher
remarked recently that In his Judg
ment Tinker had always been the
menial giant of the club, and he pre
dicted for him a Successful career In
Itcdland.
If Hhecknrd does not connect with
llrooklyn In tho post which Dahlcn
has fllrld with such poor success for
a number of years, the Superbas will
get another master of lnalde play.
Hut It Is not always the man who ex
ecutes the plays who can teach others
how to pull them over. There was
never a headier catcher than Hilly
Sullivan, of the White Sox. but he
fizzled sadly as a manager, and tho
samp goes for Rhody Wallace, of St.
Lout*, who could do everything him
self, hut who never was able to make
his men come to the fore with the
right action at the right time.
It is a curious fact that Connie
Mark, conrcdcdly one of the master
minds of the game, has not been suc
cessful lu graduating winning man
agers. A number of the famous men
on whom he has depended for the
winning of pennants have donned
the togs but excepting Ttfpsy Hartsel
not one has succeeded In making any
better than a mediocre showing.
I Jive Cross, on whom Mack de
pended for a lot of the Inside w*ork
In the seasons from 1901 to 190.",
Inclusive, left he lean manager at
the end of the senson of 1905 to cap
tain the Washington club In the
American league. He had then much
more of a reputation thAn his man
ager. .lake Stahl, now tho lender of
the world's champions, nnd It was
thought more than a ear.ee tat before
the seuson ended Lave might ho di
recting the club.
Hut instead Lave after u short stay
went to New Orleans ns captain. He
was not long a sojourner In the
southern metroitolis nnd worked his
way north as manager of the Shnmo
klu club in the outlaw Atlantic lon
gue. Then he went to Charlotte In
the Carolina association. Hut lu no
place was Ills work up to the splen-_
did hopes that had been held for him.
Still more was expected of Monte
Cross when the time came for him to

[tines that tho veteran was uenriug
the end of Ills string with the INiiiu
luclphin American leaguers.
Chicago White Sox offered $5,000
In iiiid-Bcuson for Monte, hut Man
ager Mack refused the cush which
was Ilk*' making ho much of u dear
gift to cross.
The iciison for this action was
that George Tebrau had made a prop
osition to Monto to manage Kaunas
City in the American nssodatlon. nnd
as n reward for the long and valu
able service Cross had given the club
It wuh the desire of .Manager Mack
that he should lie free to sign with
out putting lilh now employers to the
j expense of purchasing his release.
This meant a beter contract for the
tal short stopper.
Cross went to Kaunas City in the
start of 190 S with unusual hopes for
his success. A great public banquet
in his honor testified the regard of
the friends who had longed pulled
for him. Hut Moufe fared no better
with the difficult Tcbcau than did
others who have striven to work for
him. nnd after a full season and part
of the next one. during all of which
time he was constantly comiiellod to
fight out questions pf interference.
Monte gave It up. and came back to
Philadelphia.
For two seasons ho managed Scran
ton, in the New Yoik State league,
but was not able to put the club In
tho first division. Last year he was
for part of the season a scout for the
St. Ixhilh Hrowns.
Jimmy Collins, after he left the
Mack fold, took a place as manager
of the Providence Kastern league
club, but the Jinx was on him. nnd
he had no results to show at the end
of a season or two of effort.
After he damaged his leg by slid
ing luto the plate during a practice
game at New Orleans, Socks Seybold
Idled for a season and the next year
took the management of the Toledo
club In the American association, be
ing granted a free release by Manag
er Mack, so that he could havo the
aame chance that had been grnntcd
to Monte Cross. Seybold did no bet- <
ter than the other Mack managers
and la now scouting for the Cleveland
Americana.
Last year Manager Mark sent out
two men to be managers. One was
his greatest lieutenant, the man who
was rated at one of the most notable
field captains who ever played the
game, Harry »Hvli.
In 191!. three cluos were after
Davis. Ills work In the world's series
against New York, when he took the
place of Mclnnls. after the latter's
wrist was broken, brought him still
further fame. When it wns announc
ed that he had aigned to manage
Cleveland, there was no surprise, for
It was known that Charles Somers,
the manager of the Naps, had been
after Davis for a long time.
Not an expert In the country but
pirked Davis to work a great Im
provement In Cleveland but after be
ing down in the race for the greater
part of the season, Davis suddenly
threw up his Job In September nnd
returned to Philadelphia.
Undoubtedly circumstances had
niitiguted against the success of Da
vis. At the time when he reached hla
agreement to assume charge of the
Cleveland club in 1912, I)avia was
still a member of the Athletics. This
wns in the early part of 1911. Mc-
Guire was then managing Cleveland,
. and Somers recognized that his pay
wns not likely to bo extended.
Things went so badly for McGuire
that he quit in mid-season, and
THURBDAY
charge of the team wuh given to
George Stovall. Stovall had the good
lortune to bring the team along ut a
’ fust clip, tuklng it from u tail-end
position to third in a short time.
While performing this feat, Stovall
made a great hit with tho fans and
players alike, and there waa a senti
ment manifested thut he deserved an
other year as manager.
This feeliiig undoubtedly operated
against Manager Davis when he took
Siovull's job ut the beginning of
1912, and the prejudice was not us
bunged when Stovall was truded to
St. Ijhils for Lefty George, a pitcher
of some promise, who failed to make
good.
There wuh a luck of harmony uu
der Davis, and It U openly said thut
the team never pulled for him us It
would have for Stovall. The result
was u aeries of disagreements and the
disappearance of Davis from the poat.
Hartsel went to Toledo without
any particular excitement, though he
left u lot of well-wiahers In Phila
delphia. From the outset he had good
results from the team, which fiaibhed
in the first division for the first time
111 many years.
McGruw and Clarke, great mana
gers of today have yet to send a big
manager winner on hls way. and
there is not a leader of the present
who can ahow a record like that or
Ned Hanlon.
The director of the Raltlmore and
Hrooklyn champions of many years
gave to baseball two winners of big
league pennants—McGruw. with hls
four in the National league and one
world's championship, 1905, nnd Jen
nings. with Ills three nt Detroit In
the American league.
Joe Kelly, manager of the cham
pion Toronto team lu the Interna
tional league, the club that broke
John Gnnxel's three-year monopoly
of tile flag at Rochester, la another
graduate of the Hanlon school of
baseball.
It remains to be determined wheth
er Chance has started a school of
managers thut will fare any hotter
than have those of hls uotable con
temporaries.
POULTRY NOTES
There has been much complaint re
cently of the large percentage of
spoiled eggs to the rase. Some of this
trouble, it Is declared, la due to the
storage of eggs near onions. GST* or
other things with pronounced odors.
Chickens should have good, aweet
feed to make good eggs, the same as
a row should have sweet grains to
make good street milk. Ifow quick a
dairyman moves hls rows when he
finds garlic In hls pasture.
When disposing of some of the old
stock, pick out the poor layers. They
are 'Just ns good" for roasting pur
poses, and you ran not afford to part
with the money makers.
If the early pullets have been well
cared for they ought to be making
contributions to the egg basket.
Not too late to capoulzc those cock
erels. If you don't want to do that
sell them quick.
Do not neglect to provide clean wa
ter for the poultry. Dirty water Is
dirty nt any season of the year.
Incubators do not lessen the labor
but they increase the profits.
YOU HAVE A SIXTH SENSE
From the Chicago Tribune.
It Is almost a 1.000 to 1 bet that
you don't know you have a sixth
reuse. Hut you have, nevertheless.
The reason you never knew* it Is be
cause it has only recently been dis
covered. It is known as the sensu or
equilibrium.
The sixth sense is located In the
semicircular canals of the inner car,
nnd whenever a person is lu danger
of falling, or losing his equilibrium,
a warning messnge is communicated
to the brain. For years physilogists
have been puzzled to know* the func
tion of these canals because It wns
proved definitely that they had noth
ing to do with the sense of hearing,
or tho proper working of the auri
cular organ. Thus they come to be
considered as superfluous. They con
sist of throe semicircular tubes, al
most at right angles to ono another
and full of a clear liquid.
Scientists have discovered that
these canals enable a person to tell
what position ho Is in, no matter
whether ho Is blind or paralyzed. By
sonic peculiar process not well un
derstood they warn us when wo are
about to fall and give ub the con
sciousness of being in any position
assumed.
Stoeplcjacks nnd other workcis on
high buildings who finally loee their
nerve and are afraid to go very far
above the ground have lost port of
their sense of equilibrium. Exami
nations by physicians In such In
stances have shown that their semi
circular glands were diseased. It wns
largely by this means that the exist
ence of a sixth sense wns discovered.
