METHOD OF MANAGING
DETROIT BALL CLUB
Main Purpose of 'Tigers9 New Pilot Is to Keep Players
in Proper Frame of 'Mind Has Many Excellent
Ideas, But No Pennant Dreams
Iy IIOBERT W. MAXWEMj
Sports Editor Evening l'nbllo I-edrr
San Antonio, Tex., March 17
THIS city seems to be unusually popular this year, with two big league ball
c1tiK tmininir within its limits. In one cfad of town John McOrow Is laboring
with his Giants, uuil a couplo of miles
rtccnl manager of the Detroit Tiger, is
Ty is putting his ball plnycru througn the paces on a puduc piaygrounu in
Breckcnridgo l'ark, which gives lilm as much privacy ns Wnrrcn G. Harding
when delivering his Inaugural address. The playground is roped off to keep out
the sightseers, nnd there always is a mob on hand.
I never had seen such n crowd watching n preliminary workout and it was
with difficulty that I was nble to break through and reach the diamond. The
crowd, however, was not composed of baseball bugs. Only curious persons,
for nt tho entrance to the park Is n sign reading, "This way to tho Zoo." The
crowd jufct stopped to have a look after seeing the other animals. Some kicked
becauso they claimed they were bunked and did not get their money's worth.
Detroit players nro accustomed to this. They had been an ndded attraction
for years at Macon, for on the next lot to the ball park was the winter training
grounds of a big circus. Last year they attracted considerable attention be
cuse for a time It looked as If they were worse than the Athletics.
Ty Cobb is the big noiso in the Detroit club this year. The success of the
team depends almost entirely on what he is able to accomplish ; a situation
different from any in cither league.
FOR yeart Cobb has virtually wade the Detroit club. Ilxa imitDiimil
work Ant kept thv Tipcrs tn the running. This year things Anrc
changed. The team must make a reputation for Cobb, ami the iirir
manager m aware of the fact.
Shows Traits of Lauder
THEItBFOUE, although there nrc thirty or mote plajcrs mi the pajroll und
these will step in for their Hharc of glory during the season, they must bo
idetracked for a time while tho manager is given tho once over
1 watched Cobb for two hours at Brcckenrldgo Park, and in that time
he 6iiowed me many traits which go to make a successful leader. He proved he
had the confidence of his men and they obeyed his orders as if they liked It.
This was because Ty, instead of rubhing around shouting and blustering and
playing to the grandstand, did his work In a quiet, unostentatious manner,
taking his players aside and talking to them, correcting their faults and hand
ing out praise when praise was due.
He Boemed to be trying to ctTace himself A stranger never would be able
to tell who was boss of the outfit, and that Is one of the reasons why I believe
Ty will be successful.
Cobb was taking batting practice with his playern and a youngster named
rotherglll was nt the plate. This youth was with Bloomington, 111 , last year
and led tho Three I League in hitting. Ho leaned against a twister served by
Dan nowley and knocked it on a line to left field.
"That's the way to hit the ball." said Cobb. "That would b good for
two boaea in any league. Your form was perfect and you met the hall fairly.
Keep It up, son."
Fothergill was pleased with himself because he attracted the attention of
his manager and also drew praise from the greatest hitter baseball ever has
known. Tho next time up he had more confidence nnd acted like a veteran.
That's the plan fobb is working on keep up the morale nnd have every man
fighting for the club.
"There must bo patriotism on a ball club the same as there is in the
army," said Manager Ty. "The boys must bo taught to fight for their team the
same as the fought for their country. They nl.o must know that if they do
their best and fnil,,thcy will not bo put on the grill, but patted on the back and
encouraged. Then they will do better next time."
COBB icent in to pitch near the end of fcatfino practice, and tchtle on
the mound talked to every batter. Blue, the first baseman, stcppetl
up and hit the ball to left field. lie ran around the bases, and as lie
rounded third Cobb called to him. "That was a good wallop you took
at the ball," he said, "but you, will find it much easier to hit to left
field if you raise the right elbow a trifle higher. Try tt tho next timn.'
Pals With Players
C10BB has many unique ideas which might be changed befoie the season ends.
) However, he is strong for them now and says he will go through with them
until he is convinced he is wrong.
He plarcs the ball player first, last and all of tho time He wants to add
o their comfort, make things as pleasant as possible, keep them in the proper
frame of mind and becimo a pal and a confidant Instead of a boss.
He has done away with morning practice. The players are on the ball
field at noon in tho training camp and will report ut the same time during the
regular playing season. And Cobb has a reason for this.
"Ball plajers eat u hcuvy breakfast. " he said, "and cannot do themselvc-j
justice when working in the morning. They do not have an opportunity to digest
their food, and consequently are loggy in the early workouts
"I believe better rebults will be obtained if the men come on the field about
noon and do their hitting and other preliminary work. Then they will be ready
to step Into the ball game and do something
"There will be no rules on this ball club. Kules are made only to be
broken, and sometimes a new manager cannot enforce them. In a case like that
he has to back down and loses the respect of his men. Everybody will act aa
he sees fit, nnd if a few kick over tho traces and fall to do the right thing they
will be sroken to quietly, and if no Improvement is made they will be disposed
of. I hope to hac a happy family with me this year.
"Another idea of mine is to have tho bull pen outside the playing flold.
Pitchers will warm up behind the grandstand nnd tho man in the box will not
ee them. A pitcher loses confidence in himself when ho looks over nnd sees a
man getting ready to replace him. The warm-up pitcher is also placed nt a
disadvantage because he, too, is watching tho progress of the game, sees the
other fellow getting his bumps nnd perhaps his nerve is shaken.
"By warming up the relief men off the playing field the results will be
better. A fresh man can step into the game, learn how many are out and start
pitching as If nothing had happened I will do this all year.
"I will have regular coaches on the base lines all season. Dan Howlcy,
and Paddy Livingston will be on third and first respectively, and they will bo
stationed there in every gamo. This club will not &nd a rookie pltchcT out there
for good luck. Good coaching wins ball games, und I want to win games.
"Tho players will be put up at tho best hotels, taxicabs will be furnished
on all occasions, they can sleep as long tp the mornings as they desire, go to
bed any old timo they want to ut night and make their own rules, I want to
make it so pleasant for my men that they will be glad to do their best for the
privilege of playing on the club "
Cobb has given his new job fcerlou. thought It must be remembered he
did not seek It nnd took the position only after Frank Navin insisted upon it
However, beforo the papers were signed Ty and the owner hnd an understanding
about many things, and the manager now has a free tetn.
m
1JI8 tail club this year looks good, but it also looked good last spung
1 There was much surprise when the Tiger) started tie seaion with
thirteen straight defeats ard trailed the league until the Athtetiri started
o play in their oldtimc form Detroit finished n poor lerrntl and iron I
. lucky to land in that pojitiort.
Blue Has the Goofs
THERE will be few changes in tne 19'Jl line-up 1 u ! n .inel. lime, I
which Is highbrow for Lew Blue, probably will plaj first bae. This joung
ster has all the earmarks of a star and is expected to be u regular. He was '
with Detroit in 1018, but did not show mu. h. He was sent to St. Paul nnd
from there to Portland, Ore He hits over liOO nnd fieldh almont perfectly
Bluo stunds ut the plute like Tv Cobb nnd in hutting pructh e did good
work. He is a reversible hitter that is bats right and left handed. AVith
Blue on first, Harry Heilman goes to right field, where he belongs.
"Pep" Young and Donnie Bush will be tixtuics at second and short bul
third base is still undecided. Bobbie Jones and Sam Hale, veterans of lust eur
mill are on the job, but a joungster uumed Joe Sargent, who pluyed with Buffalo
last beason, Is likely to land the berth. Sargent is a dead ringer for Uubbv i
ltoth nnd has the same stance at the plate. Ho is fast, has a good puir of
hands and hits well. He probably will make the vurnlty and bolster one of thu
weakest spots on the club. Bill Huber, captured in Oreenwlle, S. C last vear
also in a candidate, but he probably will go far, far away
Ty is well fixed in the outfield. He has himself, Heilman. Veuch, I'lag
mcad and Shorten of last jear's team and tho new kid, 1'othergill This person
btepped into professional baseball luHt year He is twentv oiie stars old weighs
160 and hits right handed. The chances are that f'obb will dispose of a luuple
of bis outfielders for a pit her if a trade can be arranged
Whin he was out West last fall Ty saw Johnny Bassler, the Los Angeles
catcher, in action lie was so impressed with his work that he insisted nv n
should get him. Therefore a deal was made nnd four players, including fWai
Htannge, were pent to Los Angelett in exchange for him. Johnny and Muninn
probably will do mosf of the catching. Woodall also is on the job und Eddie
Ainsmith. One of these will be sold or traded in a short time.
Detroit always has hud weak pitching, and Cobb believes this department
will bo strong. He puked up Cole, n left-hander, Holling nnd Sutherland
right-handers, out West, and soys they will make good. The) have brilliant
recoids, Cole winning twenty -four out of thirty-one games at Vancouver, and
Sutherland turned in twenty-two victories at Portland on n club that finished
last. Oeorgo Cunningham, Allma Conkwright, of Bloomington; Jim Middleton,
of Toledo, and Walter Stewart, of San Antonio, are the new men.
Ehmke, Dnuss, Leonard, Oldham, Doc Ayres and Bernle Bolund are the
veterans, and Cobb hopes to hne ut least four come through.
Taking It all In all. the Tigers have not such a bad ball club this year
Everything depends on the start If the club steps out and wins a few games
and the players get back their confidence, Detroit will bo dangerous If not
well, look nt Inst yeur's work
I AM not predicting any pennant said I y m I vrai It at mo

NATIONAL PUTS ON SCRAPS
IN KEEPING WITH CUSTOM
By LOUIS II. .lAI-'KK
For years and years an nll-btnr box
ing card has been n feature of St. Pat
rick's night in Philadelphia. In keep
ing with this custom, originated by the
Into Jnck McGuignn nt the National
Club, four eight-round matches, bring
ing together wind-up mlttmen in eacii
case, are on for decision tonight nt tho
Eleventh street it re tin.
Local fans have been all ngog about
the set of bouts arranged for tonight
because of the caliber of the eight stars
gathered together for competition on the
same program. In order to nccommo
date the crowd whieti is to turn out for
the show it was announced today by tho
management of the Nntlonal that doors
will be opened nt 7 o'clock instead of
7:.10.
Two bnntnm storn. each rcnresentinc
' Philadelphia In his effort to line up in
n match with Champion Joe Lynch,
i are to fling fists. They arc Kid Wil-
;llnmn and Danny Kramer. No. Wil
liams and Kramer are not to meet each
other. The Kiddo is going on in the
final fraens m n lout with Joe O'Don
nell, of Gloucester, while Krnmer will
attempt to crimp Enrl Puryenr, of
Peoria, 111
The Williams-O'Donnell meeting will
be their third. Joe, it will be rcmem
bered, started his career in the role of
a knockout After five bouts he looked
so good O'Donnell was pnired off with
the then rip -and -tear Williams. Wil
liams vcored a technical four-round
knockout. Later they went six rounds
in hurricane fashion.
"Thnt knockout." snid O'Donnel to
day, "is the only one against mo during
my entire career. I was jut coining
then, Williams was in his prime. It's
nil switched nround tonight. I think
Williams is going back nnd I'm better
than ever Well. I'm going to try to
get even for that knockout."
Puryeur nnd Kramer, like Williams
and O'Donnell also will clash in their
third bout. Two years ago somewhere
In Indiana Puryenr was given n l."
round referee's decision over Kramer
Several weeks ago Danny whipped Earl
in a 10-rounder at Milwaukee.
There will be a change in the seiond
bout. Gene Delmont wns booked to
meet Joe Tiplitz, but the former "will
be unable to box following his contest
with George Chancy here on Monday
night. Wires haw been sent out to
Billy Angclo, Joe Benjamin and Frankie
Britt, of Boston, offering them the bout
with Tiplitz
Harry Kid Blown, the former South

btrenuous and Veteran Surgeon Doesn't Get "Steamed Up"
Till He Passes 27th Gets Right of Way at Huntingdon Valley
By SANDY
TMt. JOHN B. DKAVBU is n great
iJ advocate of the life strenuous. Ho
believes in action und plenty of it, par-
ticularly in golf. Though long since
within the eligibility mark to the proud
circle of the ancient nnd honorables,
the eminent surgeon Is never so happy

clear field uheud for a good, long scs

"Eighteen holes, pBbaw," Dr. Den
ver would say. "Might ns well not
play . I just begin to get steamed up
about the twenty-seventh. Take me to
the thirty -sixth and I'm going strong,
but it takes nt least forty-five holes
before I'm playing my bcBt."
Be it opcrntlons in the hospitals or
golf holes, the more the merrier with
Dr John II. Denver.

Dr Denver himself finds that the,
"young fellers" rather hold him up audi

he says himself, "blow off more excess

ORGANIZED BASEBALL
HAS MUCH TO LEARN
Failed to Take Up White Sox Matter Till Public Com-
polled Hearing Other Cases tlie Same Covering
Up Scandal Hurts Game
By GRANTLAND RICK
A1
DVANCINO civilisation continues
to erow more and more complex.
You cither step Into n tunnel down
below, n fast one. on level ground or an
air pocket If you leave the earth.
Civilization merely means thnt many
more bunkers to the courso of existence.
Take tho case of Judge Landls. Ho
has the baseball muddle to clear up.
And 3000 years ago all Hercules had to
clean out was the Augean stables.
" Trailing GcleU Burgess
I've never lamped a fivc-base hit,
And yet I'd liko to lamp one.
These modcrti rules won't stand for tf,
And bli'mc, how they cramp one!
I've never holed a brassio rap,
My best is often punkcr.
But what a pipe it is to slap
A drivo into a bunkerl
How Long Before They Learn?
"11GANIZED baseball showed n pas-
v-r slonnto rcluctonco, Amounting to a
keen abhorrence, toward taking up me
White Sox scandal. Organized base
ball finally moved when it wns pushed
over the cliff.
Tho developments of thnt affair of
fered O. II. a fine opportunity to lenrn
something connected with sudden action
nnd quick publicity. What did O. B.
learn. Not n lop-cared thing.
Then followed the Bcnton-Hcrzog
muddle then the Zimmerman flare
up. Again, was there any sudden leap
to clear up the scandal brought on 7
Again, there was not. Always the old
cry "These things hurt the game.
Apparently It has never occurred to
organized baseball In ita fifty years of
existence thnt the public has anything
to do with the came or uny rights to be
respected.
It has never occurred to any one to
let the public know precisely whnt is
going on, without waiting a year or
two.
"These things hurt the game"
Thoy do. Especially "these things"
that consist of balking or attempting to
cover up every scandal that develops.
THIS is where Judge Landis will huvc
his greatest chance. There is noth
ing in connection with any scandal that
a hiiBcball magnate knows which the
baseball public is not entitled to know
as well.
The Livelier Ball
TT IS with no intention of yawping
A nt the modern bnttlng eye that we
call attention to a lew vital statistics
connected with the modern baseball
used.
Just how much livelier the present
baseball is than the bnll used eight
years ago we can't say. But you can
do a bit of surmising on your own hook
after perusing these figures:
In 1018 the hard-hitting Athletics
with Collins, linker, Mclnnis, Strunk,
Schang, Oldring nnd others at work
accumulated 1413 bnse hits for a grand
average of .285.
Last year St. Louts gathered 1015
hits for n grand nvcrugc of ..108. Also
it might be noted thnt St. Louis, Cleve
land, Chicago and Washington all had
n hither club average last season than
the slashing Mackmen had eight years
ago.
Ill Addition
THIS testimony isn't all of it. In
1013 the eight American League
clubs managed to disperse u total of
ir8 home runs, using practically the
same bats and the same ball parks in
use today.
But last year the eight American
League clubs ran up a total of 370 home
runs, or well more than double the
1013 output.
It Isn't unlikely, of course, that even
with the same ball some incrense might
have been noted, although that old
Macklnn machine was a whalu with
the mace.
But to find four ball clubs of today
outbnttlng thnt machine by many
