fit was certain that they had their shortcomings as pl.iwis A whole lot depends
upon tho breaks, personality and conditions.
Evers Lacked Managerial Temperament
JOHNNY EVERS failed because of tils llery temper. Ho exacted! snap ludmiii-nt
without success. On tho ball Held livers seldom made a mistake when It was
necessary to think quickly, but as a manager he ncer guessed right. As 11 lesult
tho Cubs were soon lighting among Ihemselws and ICers did not have the dispo
sition or tho diplomacy to pull tho team 0111 of theiiit. Kllng was another biilllant
plajer, but he failed because ho did not have the lighting sph it or tfxeeulixo ability
to handle men. Tho most unusual part of Kllng'.s poor showing was that he failed
to develop pitchers, a department In which ho had proved invaluable when acting
ns llrst lieutenant for Trunk Chance on the famous Cub team. Kelly probably
was moro brilliant than either i:eis or Kllng. but be was a poof inauagei. Kelly
had tho fighting sph it nnd the bin Ins. but he also lacked the dltptisitloti to hiindlo
men, Kelly lode his men unmeiWfullv, then salve.l them, tlnullv liccame disgusted
nnd quit. At that he lasted longer in Cincinnati than unv other lender ol ibo last
fifteen jenrs.
Former Mackman May Have Right Spirit
THE question is, Hns Barrv tho disposition and executive ability necessiii v '" Hull
plajers differ on this subject. Many claim that Uarry is not aggressive enough
nnd that he is too considerate of tho feelingH of his fellow plaers to succeed. Thuy
point out that for threo yearn Barry Was buried on tho Athletics beenuse Collins
nnd Mclnnls stood out so brilliantly and were more aggipsslvo. These persons,
one of whom Is considered one of baseball's smartest men, contend thut Barry
needs ti guiding hand and that ho will go to pieces when things begin to break
against him. Barr never has been indifferent He alwavs bus been a hustlor
from start to finish, but it is said that Jack Is loo careless about details to handlo
a stiuiicl of vetcian players who have tho independent hearing born of success.
Other Boston Players Might Object
ALLOWING that Hurry has tho lighting spit it, baseball bruins, ability to bundle
. men and diplomacy his suppoi ters el ilm for him. It Is no sure thing thut ho
Will mako sood. We are inclined to believe that Huny would be better off If ap
pointed manager of a tail end tcum that needed lebulldliig. In this position he
nt least would bo able to build his team with youngsters who would look up to
him nnd respect his Judgment. While the Ited Sox aio'a levelheaded aggrega
tion of veterans, it Is possible that there lire seveial veteian members of the team,
who were with tho world's chumpions long beioio Huny was purchased, who htivo
on idea that they should bo piomoted before tho foimer Maiktnun. Wo uio not
Baying that this condition exists, but there is eveiy leasun to believ that It does.
Carrigan Started
w
fHEN Bill Carrigan was appointed manager of tlm fled Sox to succeed .lake Slahl
I' he had a great battle on his hunds to
team's chances In 1013 and 1014. Only a man of the Carrlguu typo could havo
accomplished this without wrecttlns tho team by t lading or selling the dis
turber "Bin" did It because of his unusual lighting qualities nnd his litter
dlsregaid for personal feelings or criticism. The dissension did not disappear en
tirely until Speaker was sold to Cleveland, and It is believed that the worry of
trying to k'ep his tempei omental eteruns together is hugely lesponsiblo for Cur
rigan's retirement. Client ns wo think .luck Hairy ts, we do not bellevo thut ho
Would havo succeeded if placed in Cunigun's position In 101H, and. as stated
befoit, It Is no sure thing that hlstoiy will make good now.
Bill Insists That lie Is Through
AT TUB tlmo Cairtgan announced his retirement on which the Evkninii I.tixii-.u
JTX printed an exclusive story, it vvus sutd that "Hill" was binding becuimo his con
tract expired last full, and it was believed that he was pulling tint retirement idea to
get a fat contract. Cunlgan still Insists that ho Is thimijli with basehull. He
turned down an offer from tho pew Red S-.x owner thut not one ball pluyor or
salaried employe in ton thousand would pass up. Cunlsnn is sincere. He says
thav, handling tho Red Kox aged him boforu lite timl. unJ that ho has enough
money to live comfortably tho rest of his days, und he Intends to take udvautugu
of a splendid opportunity In tho banking business in Li-vvistun, Me. It U suid
that Carrigan advised tho now owners thut Heinle 'Wugner. tho veteian coach,
would mako mi Ideal manager, and baseball men ugrW with him. The Red b'o.x
feared, but respected, tl.o former shoitstop, and ho wits Cuirigun's chief aid in
routing tho dissension a few years ago.
Mack's Boost Amounts to Nothing
CONNIE MACK hays that Jack should mako n wonderful manager. Ho lauda lilm
to the skies as a player, strategist and leader; but in tho nest breutli Connio
Bays that the loss of "Bill" Carrigan will be n, great blow to tho American League
Mack had no love for Carrigan. He never approved of many of "Bill's" tactics,
nuch as delaying games, blocking tho plato and overy uther conceivable trick
that would give him an odgo on un opponent; but ho feels compelled to admit tlmt
the Red Sox boss was a great leader. Mack is not of tlio typo tttat says good things
nbout a person because ho ha3 gone. Connio always has been outspoken and
honest He has boosted Barry because ho is loyal Jo his old playor; but ho knows,
ns well as every close follower of the game, that the departuio of Carrigan hns
weakened the league, and until Barry lias proved himself a capable leader the
fans of the Hub will bo skeptical.

FOR the benefit of readers who desired to know how hurling is played, wb will
use the definition given bya member of ono of tho local teams now playing
the game In the northeastern section of the city. He says that It is a new form
of field hockey. A ball as large as a baseball Is used, wlillo the sticks are much
heavier, thicker and havo a broader curve than u hockey stick. The ball Is put
111 play in the center of the field, as in both field and Ice hockey, ond the goal
scoring Idea is the same. The only difference Uthat hurling is even rougher
than Ice hockey, as the players can kick the ball If no opponent is near, und are
allowed to swing their clubs as high as they desire. As a result, a game seldom
ts played without one or two of the players being Injured.
PICTURES sent North by Cirover Cleveland Alexander Indicate that the won
derful rhllly hurler Is in grand shape. He is not as heavy as he was when the
season closed, the outdoor life and hunting having tak'en off the surplus weight
Alex was carrying when he departed for his Iwmi after the world's series. He
writes that he never was in better sliape, and will remain at Oscar Dugey's ranch
at i'emdale Lake, Tex., until the time to report at St. Petersburg. Bill Klllefer

the stay of the Penn team there while pre
paring for tho game with Oregon Univer
sity, Conn wan constantly In the company
of the Penn players. Ho fell head over
