J ' k' WL rt ft' f '. m Br.. fe u i J . MS (IT If III life v-jr .)i BE. fe 3 ?l VX :s A I'lH " TUST how much of n baseball tcum's strcnRtli or weakness Is emboriecl in its " manager? The question Is n debatable one, but there, appears to bo no meuns tit reducing on answer to figures, and nny conclusion h elmply n matter of opinion. There arc those who insist that a good team cannot win with a poor manager unci that a first-class leader can pilot nn Inferior team to n pennant by virtue of his own individual prowess. On the other hand, others hold that a great baseball ma chine is bound1 to win despite poor management and that no manager, no matter how efficient he may be, can get good baneball out of a team which does not pack food baseball In its luggage. Tho issue can bo clearly drawn In this way: is n team only as strong as Its manager or Is a manager only ai strong as his team? Without making nn effort to answer the problem, It may be mentioned that the coming season will furnish somo good arguments for those disposed to take a hand in the debate. Up In Boston, Jack Harry will bo guiding a team which has enjoyed years of success under "Bill" Carrlgan. The Bed Sox have the power to be up there, or thereabouts, from bell to bell. Thero Is no factor of uncer tainty so far as the Sox, as a team, are concerned. They havo the goods, and if Barry fails to produco results. It Is pretty good evidence that a good team cannot succeed under poor management. On tho other hand, If they succeed it won't prove anything, for Barry's managerial strength will still bo an unknown quan tity. That Is why it 19 maintained that Jack is In a somewhat difficult position. If the Sox fall ho will be blamed, and if they come through In fine stylo the sharps Will hold" that most any manager could steer such a hand-picked lot of world beaters thrqugh. Of course, there are other factors which must be considered. The other even teams In the Jcngur may hae gained strength during tho winter, and n team to win the 1917 pennant must bo better than the Sox of last season. At tho same tlmo, a ball club does not have to finish llrst to be considered a kucccss. Only a collapse which will carry the champions below second or third place Will fee considered evidence of failure. EVERYBODY in Philadelphia wiahes Barry well. Baseball men all over the country realize that he la on trial, and the work of the Red Sox will be watched more closely than ever before for this reason. The Cubs and Athletics Will Be Watched VIRTUALLY the same situation exists at Chicago. Tho Cuba aro a powerful baseball machine, and, on form, they should give the Giants a better fight than the other western teams. If Mitchell brings tho Bruins through in fino stylo, it will be a good argument for thoso who insist that no team Is good enough to succeed without good management. Another team which will be watched closely all over the circuit Is our own Athletics. When Connie took his great machine apart in 1914 and spread the cogs all over tho baseball landscape ho promised to build up another pennant-winning team within a few years. Will he be able to do it? That is the question which Is lurking In tho minds of baseball sharps everywhere. If Connie succeeds It will prove beyond a doubt that It Is im possible to overestimate tho value of n. good manager. The spectacle of a manager deliberately disposing of a flag-winner and then building another from tho founda tion up will Just about convince every one that a team Is only as strong as its manager. On the other hand, some critics point out the case of Wilbur Robinson and the Dodgers as evidence that a team can succeed despite the manager. It has been contended that Robinson does not understand how to work a pitching staff correctly and that he has no place among the really great managers. The same charge was brought against "Charlie" Dooln In 1913, when It was said that he worked Alexander and Seaton to death; but If this Is true, it is evidence tor the other side of the house, for Dooln DID NOT win a pennant in 1913 with an admittedly powerful team. THERE seems to be little doubt that a good manager Is worthy of his hire, for the cases where teams havo won with poor directors are few and far between. In the last four years we have had the following pennant-winning managers: Connie Mack, Moran, Robinson, Carrlgan, McGraw and Stalllngs. Is thero a weak man among them? McGraw in the Role of a Comedian Again "VTO ONE has ever accused John McGraw of being modest about his players, and j- probably no one ever will. Jawn Is given to making rash anif brash claims, and he gets away with It simply because he Is McGraw: but when McGraw or any other manager stands up and shamelessly claims to have a ball player who is the equal of Ty Cobb he should be depressed. Everybody agrees with John when he ays Davy Robertson is a wonderful performer. Dave bruises the horsehidc in fine style, he makes circus catches and he is a flash on the bases, but to call him a Becond Ty Cobb is another thing again. Last season Robertson played won derful baseball for several months, nnd Just when every one was shouting his praises to the four winds he crashed Into a slump, and his hatting average shrunk with alarming rapidity. Dave ended with a mark of .307. Before attempting to elevate Robertson to tho pedestal of Cobb, McGraw should top and consider what happened to another outfielder on his payroll for whom like extravagant claims were made. If memory sorves us correctly, one Benjamin Kauff one short year ago was going to make tho peorgla Peach look like a piker. According to Mr. Kauff, Mr. Kauff was going to make the fans forget that a man by the name of Cobb ever played baseball. Everybody knows the sad conclusions Of the tale. It Is written In the batting averages. Kauff doesn't even belong In Mr. Cobb's set, and as a "climber" he proved a failure. , Golf Becoming One All-Y ear-Round Game GOLF Is not only Increasing by leaps and bounds In this country as to the num ber of players and fanatics, but It also Is inci casing so much In duration of season that it is rapidly becoming the one gamo that Is possible through all the pan of twelve months. This has been chiefly brought about by the incursions into the palm-bordered paths of the South, which have "bled," so to speak, the chilly northland of its golfers. The rollcall of the best golfers right here In Phil adelphia would not find a very large percentage left In town. There aro some tars here who have come back to the Quaker City and there are some who are till in the South. But most of those with the real or genuine fever have made the trip, batted a ball around the links where tho sun smiled happily all around and have come away content. . Besides this southern stuff, the number Is Increasing yearly of those who can not bear to wrap the throats of their clubs in flannels, as of yore, and tuck them way for a hard business session during tho winter. There was a day when a player, bundled in quit-lined coating and swathed in various woolens, could not take to the links of a winter day In these parts without being hooted out as being of a more serious species than a mere common or garden variety of golf bug It Was Crazy to Play in Winter PERSONS thought he must be crazy to play with a red ball in the snow with the t temperature down to cracking. They thought that there was a time for every thing and that winter was decidedly not the time for golf. They thought that there was such a thing as enough of anything and that after a summer of golf It was time to lay off, get a rest nnd be in so much better shape to enjoy the game In the following season. But In all this hare of thinking these folks lost sight of one outstanding fact. They forgot that one of the chief considerations of the average business man in taking up golf Is that he is able to get a full measure w exercise, mis is an aside from the jyA Golfers who began to get soft and flabby lSi' the fall cast around for some winter deal, A winter-swept linns at onco saw tne possibilities of winter golf and tho error of their S"-i.

Form and Other Sports TIIH discussion of form In fports bring1) up tho matter of Krace, rhythm and ease in other sport.s aside from baseball. The golfer with the greatest grace from the tee to the green Is Chick Evans. We know of no other who carries the same rhythm nil the way In every shot. On the green we have seen no one with the grace, ease and poise of Jerry Travers. His putting btroke is the last word in u rhythmical display Oulmet Is another golfer with natural grace,, but tho Bos tonlan ghes more the impression of power than ease. Klrkby Is another golfer whose long game especially N to be noted for Its rhythm and beauty of execution. In England the two golfers noted for their grace of all-around play were the late Jack Graham, killed In France, and Georgo Duncan. There Isn't a golfer In the game who surpasses Evans In the ease and symmetry of his Iron play. Among the pros, Jim Barnes has su periors In this line, but In the main they go in moro for crlspness and power than for ease. Mike Brady Is another whose game Is replete with rhythm. Tennis It would be hard to find a greater com bination of grace and power than Maurice McLoughlln, serving as he did three years ago against Brookes and Wilding. There was a mixture of smash and sym metry to his play that has never been equaled. Both Norrls Williams and Wil liam Johnston, the two present-day leaders, have an ease and sureness of motion that are part of the highest form. Football Football brings more the Impression of power and speed than grace. Vet It would be harder to imagine a sight 'with finer rhythm or symmetry than Eddie Mahan starting back through a broken field after handling a long punt. Mahan turned running Into poetry, minus any touch ot the vers libra attachment. John Beed Kllpatrlck's end play at Yale brings back remembrances of grace and symmetry as well as power. Among the old-time ball players, the grace of Jimmy McAIeer Is remembered beyond that of any other, while the leading rhythm and da.h of a throw across the diamond belonged to Harry Stelnfeldt, with Monte Cross not very far behind. , These attributes ot symmetry, In the main, are all natural.
