QEVKNTHKN former members of tho Athletics Imvo been appointed to hlrtlin '-' serial posltl'.ns In llio mnior or minor leagues, but tn dale only una has been successful. C?ould llicro bo a moro convincing argument that Cohnlo Mnck Is' ( responsible) for his own success nnd that ho hns not been favored so much by tho unusual caliber of tho men who htivo played under him, A blory was printed recently showing that four former Maekmen linvo bad chances nl inniiai'litB tennis nnd failed, but thirteen unmet were omitted from the list. Of tills unusual num ber of "manngcrs" from the .Mack school, only Chttrlc) Oorr roallv made good, nnd lie was with the Athletic.-) less than two months bal In 1001. Two of l(o seventeen still kohl managerial positions, but ns ,ot bavo foiled to tnalio a hit. while one other. Xnpolenn Lajoie, Is about to gut tinotbur chance. Tho rest Imvo retlred,kelther temporarily or permanently. With olio or two exceptions these unsuccessful managers were considered smart planers. Their heady plays wero recounted long after they left the major leagues, but their failures lone only olio Impression that Connio .Mark was, lesponslblu for all and for his own succs.

All others aro on tho rotlred list or nro looking ntiout for u position. Lajoic Had One Good Season at Cleveland MANY" of tho old Xlncli stars bad excellent opportunities, but failed to pinducc u winner, I'nrr at Indianapolis was a hugo success until he tried to devote all of bis tlmo to business, but "Judge" Castro nnd Lnjolc were the only othei Mackmcn to keep a team In tho race throughout the season, uud tlioy never amounted to much after one season. Harry I'avls nnd Lajole both had major league trials at Cleveland, but failed. Knight. Sejbold, Iinrtsel am! Monto Cross were in the American Asportation unil other places, llernhardt, Castro nnd Lord piloted Southern Association teams, while Castto also was in tho Western Asso ciation. Art Hi outliers and Henley were In the South Atlantic circuit. The others piloted Class C or D teams without success. Mack 'Flunks for Himself and Planers IN VIEW of the fact that all of these players wero given u chance to show what they Could do In tho way of managing n team on tho strength of their work under Connio Mnck, It Is about time that some critics who continually harp upon Mack's luck In picking up hinart and brilliant playeis who bavo carried him along ceaso V, their chatter. Tho failure of Mack's former stars proves beyond doubt that tho wlzaid manager does his own thinking and also thinks for his players. Heady plays were a dally featiite with tho old Mack machine pulling together. Soma were of tho kind that a manager sitting on tho bench could not have bad anything to do with, but the fact lemalns that Mack's coaching and his guiding band made these plays possible. Dai ring Dddlo Collins and Jack Barry, no Mack product has starred after leaving the Athletics: but Mack has continued to shine, nnd ho will be back with another powerful team before long. Mitchell's Rise Due to Stallintjs FIIICD MJTCHKLL, tho, new manager of tho Cubs, al.so is a' former Machman. hut ho is not included In tho nbovo list boraUM: wo believe ithat Stalllngs is more responsible for his rapid rise as a strategist. When Mitchell was with tho Mackmcn as a pitcher back in 1902 ho was more or less of a lackadaisical Individual. Ho cared only about pitching his owi game and never botheted about details or took tho trouble to Interest himself in what the rest of the team was doing. Mitchell's rlso in baseball really started when be lost his pitching nrm nnd switched to catching. He then realized tho importance of Inside baseball nnd suddenly changed from a disinterested Indlvldunl to one of the greatest hustlers in tho game. Joe Wriaht Has Excellent Crew Material IT MAY be that Tcnn's crow will como back Just as stiong as tho football team did last fall. Until Folwelfs eleven succeeded in stirring up the waning inteicst of tho students tle Jted and Dluo undergraduates wero only lukewarm to any athletic proposition. Tho excellent work of tho football team has convinced the students that nothing Is hopeless if tho proper spirit prevails, and Coach Joo Wright has tho most promising mnterinl iu yenis among tho varsity ciew candi date. It has been u long tlmo since Venn lias bad a powerful crew, and lack of enthusiasm was mainly respon.slblo for thu gradual decline in this branch of ath letics. It would be Venn's poor luck to develop a wonderful ciew that probably outclassed any other In tho country, only to Imvo the intercollegtates abandoned. It Is rumored that tho intercollesiato regatta, held for many years at l'ough keepsle, may not take place this Juno. Tho four mile i-ourso nnd other displeasing features of this regatta bavo caused many colleges to frown upon tho nnnual event, but until recently it was not thought that it would be abandoned for a year or two at least. Perm's Football Schedule Completed BACK In tho earl pait of December the Hvcnino Luiioeh printed an exclusive story on Venn's football schedule for next season Carlisle, Pennsylvania Military College and the Army wero included in tho games listed, much to tho amusement of contemporaries. Yesterday tho schedule was announced. Odd as It ' may seem, the tentatlvo schedule was almost Identical to that published by tho I2ve.vi.no Ledger a month ago. All of the additions to thfschcdule played Inst fall wero considered out of tho question. Tho Indians wei considered no opposi tion whatever; V. M. C. little better, while West Volnt was looked upon as an Impossibility in view of tho fact that it had been said that tho authorities of tho Government school would not permit tho Army eleven to play away from homo, nnd Venn insisted that it would not tnke tho game unless It was agreed that tho Cadets would visit this city In 1918. West Point Game Scheduled Too Early MANY prominent Vennsylvanians and local football enthusiasts are of tho opinion that Venn Is making a serious mistake In scheduling tho Army for October 6. They point out that tho West Volnters will bo in wonderful hhapo because of the strict rules which compel tho students to bo in perfect physical condition all the time. Tho Army wl(l have tho benefit of at least three weeks' extra practice and will send a veteran and undefeated eleven into this game. As a rule big college elevens aro slow rounding into form, because of the lack of proper training during tho summer, and Venn probably will not be In shape to battle with such a strong opponent so early in the season. In Clew of tiio fact that Venn's prospects aro bo bright for next fall, it is unfortunate that tills game Is scheduled o early, as a defeat may have a disastrous effect upon the. Red nnd Blue. Rowing Association Playing With Fire rpHE report that Tom Itooney, national slnglq sculling champion, Is In danger or -L being declared a professional because he Is an instructor In a public recreation park In New York is not taken strlously by followers of the rowing game. In the first place, a certain percentage of the men prominent in the rowing game havo competed professionally in other sports, hut no complaint has been mado before; while in the second place, declaring a man a professional for earning an honest ' living would harm the sport Just as much as the "amateur" question is doing to track Athletics. J.et us hope that the National Bowing Association does no follow In, tha footsteps of the A. A. U. Again wo remark that It generally a best to leave well enough, alone. Here Is Another "Amateur" Joke THE cue game Is nqw menaced by the craze for investigating the amateur standing of qeveral of Its leading lights. The National Association gr Amateur Billiard Vlayera is Investigating charges that Charlas Heddon. of Dowagiac. and Corwin Huston, pf Detroit, have violated the amateur code. This probably is the greatest Joke of all amateur Investigations, if one can produce more than half a dozen "amateur" billiard players vtho have not played for mjjney, either on a percentage-of tho gate or for a. large side bet, he will shock the proprietors pf the largo billiard parlors' throughout the country, who constantly complr.n about "blng held up" by amateurs. 1 ' Williams's Defeat Is Big Upset KID WILLIAMS'S dethronement by the punches qf Veto Herman in New nriannlast nTsht is the first big uuset of the young 1917 season. While there are a lot of "I-Told-Yoii-So" wUacra around" today, until las night "very few predicted that the bantamweight championship would change hands. Johnny Ertla, who no doubt Is disputing Herman's newly won honors, should nof be taken seriously. He didn't show sufficient form in local bouts to oope successfully with a, boxer pffHennan'a ability. t f.
