Tlio essentials for a ball team Used to be a manager, U plajer for each position, with an extra catcher and pitcher and a general utility player or 80. Now no team may be halil to be complete without coaches, trainers, a flock of general surplus players, scouts, road secretaries, 'entertainers, etc. Couching and general oht-ervtitlnn work now arc among the most Important developments" of modern baseball, and virtually every bin league outfit sports an understudy to tlio management who obj-crves play, coaches tlio men and offers to the main boss the results of his Inspection In order to help win. McGraw. the resourceful and original Want chlettahi. generally Is credited with the Introduction of the coach when ho hired Arlle Latham to aid him In observation und In Injecting his Impress-Ions into tlio players' systems. A LSO this move Introduced tho featuro of entertainment and "onicdy as a means of keeping the players In good humor and playing mood. Mitchell Was Notable Understudy to Stallings t tlio' most celebrated understudy feats was that performed bi rred Mitchell, now manager of tho Chicago Cubs, during tlio ceas-on of 1914, when tlio Uoston lSravos pulled the moit astonishing feat known to baseball In coming with a ru-li from last place In near jiiIiNwimiii and finally winning u pennant and then a world's championship. .Stalllngs hasn't been able to do much since Mitchell left him. which '-ay or may not be slgnllicaut. The leading combination characters In tho coaching Held today are Nick Altrock and C.crmany Sehaefer. The two leading comedians of tlio game also arc wiso lilrd.s In coaching and In watching other teams In action. They will be with the Senators and C.lants respectively. Harry Davis was one of the best understudies to the manager tho game has known. He was admittedly of great assistance to Connie Mack, not only In building up his great teams of tlio past, hut in liolphig them play ball. Now that ho has retired It Is not unlikely that Connie will rely upon Forrest Cady to supply whatever assistance In tho coaching line ho will have the coming season. Oscar Dugcy coi responded to Hurry Davis In tho Phil camp, but it is not detlnltu what lellanco will bo placed this season by Pat Moran for similar di ly. Other coaches who will servo with big league teams the coming season arc: 11111 Donovan, Detroit; Johnny livers, lied Sox; Kid Oleason, Whlto Sox; Ed Walsh, Drowns; Otto Knabo, Cubs; Jack Klaherty, ISrnves; Jimmy Archer, Wttsburgh. Wllbert ltoblnson will continue his well-known spe cialty along with tho Dodger managerial role, ussisted by Jack Coombs. Matty will look after his own coaching. It is said. QNK of -' l-'retl : fm T1 B WE lowly Drowns will have the most elaborate managerial asslstanoo corns of any big league team. In addition to l-.d Walsh to coach they will have Jimmy Darke as a jollier and Dobby Qulnn to tell Fielder Jones where to get olf. Ulustache Wilt Be Retained on Diamond ASEBALL, facial plumage has been banned for several years and few diamond performers have had the ncrvo to rport the whiskered effects. Thero were two notable exceptions In big league circles last season, Wully Schang and John Henry disporting for a part of the season at least neat .little- mustachloJ of modern pattern. Another bravo spirit threatens to vl&lato baseball usage" this season, ami t ero Is a reason. Henry Is gone from Washington and a successorshlp Is natural. Catcher Eddlo (Jharrlty proposes to servo In tho pinch role with a neat lip decoration. Bascbalplcturcs of ye olden day show startling effects In face adorn ment. The whlfakcrcd stuff was not only popular but universal In tho "halllcon days" when tho game was a-bornlng. Tho majority of players wore some sort of drapery and also tho umpires. A group likeness of tlio 'average club of the long ago suggests a Dolshevlk gathering of tho present moment. Umpires wero the fanciest dressers and decorators, ancient prints showing arbitrators not only disporting duudrearles, but sllk'hats. As to Just how long cither the hut or itlio whiskers would last In a modern dia mond combat can be easily imagined. Johnny Kvers or Heinle 'Am would tolerate these effects for a part of ono Inning, perhaps; and as for tho bleachers, they would get ills majesty before the gimio started. Following tho departure of the claborato whiskered effects the full mustacho came Into vogue. Dascball players of twenty-llvo years ago af fected tho brlstlo, which gave them a savage look and tho dignity of mature men. This was beforo tho college boy and tho youthful phenom had his day and when It was considered manly to look old. Fo IS not unlikely that a diamond performer appearing In tho olden days with ono of theso fetching little modern delicatessen VM -vf vu m 'MA, rL. mustaches would have had ubout us much chance of surviving as would a player today appearing In laco curtains. Huggins Tells What Makes a Ballplayer ILLKU HUCGINS Is a wiso old bird. -Ho is tickled over tho showing being made by his men at their Macon trulnlng camp, but ho declines to make any prophecies on the season. lie has been thero too often and also he has beforo him tho experience of former Yankeo bosses who havo filled tho funs with pre-seasou dopo which boomeranged. Tho actual warfare- Is an altogether different thing from the preliminary stuff, Is tho burden of his remarks. In discussing tho subject and the general question of baseball lltness ho says: rf "I form opinions down hero about my players, but they aro not based on, anything llko a final analysis. They are subject to change without notice. They are merely training camp opinions and carry with them a, reservation to allow for the psychological effect of actual big league warfare. "A ball player must have three essential qualities If ho is to make 'good. First of all he' must havo perfect physical lltness. Then ho must havo automatic versatility under lire. Lastly ho must have heart, and by that I mean courage and nerve. I "It Is as Impossible, for mo to determine In this camp whether theso rooklfs have the two latter essentials ns It would havo been for tho In structors at Wattsburg to foretell what their student oltlcers would do when they first came under hostllo fire. "Tho first essential, physical lltness, we can make suro of right hero In Macon. I Intend to see that tho team starts North as near mechanical perfection as It' can be brought. I am particularly anxious to huvo my pitchers In absolutely thorough condition. I don't want to see a. lamo'nrm on the staff. -t ,f f IT HAPPENS IN THE BEST REGULATED FAMILIES ST ,:!
