and Development of Players
By STONE? McLINN
PHILADELPI1IANS tere net greatly surprised when It was announced
that Irving Wllhclm would net manage our National League club next
ttsen. It watt expected that President linker would continue what lins be
wtcue the annual winter heuseclcanlng at Ureail and Huntingdon streets. It
la net our Intention te offer any criticism nt this time, nor shall wc comment
upon the ability, or lack of name, whlcli the
deposed field leader of the Phillies may have
shown. It Is the future with which we would
deal.
William F. Baker may net desire or wel
come, our advice, but we intend te offer it in
the most friendly spirit. And our siiSRcstien
te him is that he employ, at a satisfactory
salary, the very best man obtainable te direct
the Phillies en the diamond employ this man
ager net for one year, but for thiec or five
years. Then set aside for this man a fair
budget te provide for the purchase and develop
ment of baseball players, and permit him te
build the foundation for a winning ball club.
It is u well-known fact that n u innln? ball
club cannot be deu'leped In one jenr. Just e
long n managers arc hired by the year the
Philadelphia bell club will remain the joke of
the circuit. And the Phillies arc the butt et
puns and sneers wherever one may travel. "A farm for the Gi.int," our
Nationals have been called. "I pay my second-string catcher mere than the
annger of the Phillies receives," said one miner league manager who was
Mentioned as Wilhelm's successor.
If Philndelphians de net support the club sufficiently te warrant the
ngagement of n S10.000 manager for three years, then we I'Uggest a ST.'OO
Manager or a $5000 manager; but whoever he may be and whatever hit pay
Bay be, display sufficient confidence in him and his ability te gic him net
toss than three jcers in which te develop a team. Five jears would be better.
All that the fans ask, is evidence of geed faith something meie thnu what
trtalnly appears te be the mere desire en the pnrt of the owners te held a
National League franchise, play nut the schedule and, as one New Yerk
title put It, "pay dividends by sharing in the spoils of the Sunday games
ift New Yerk and Brooklyn."
As lejul Phlladelpblans, some of us have been righting mad when we
Ttelted ether cities and heard the slurs heaped upon our Phillies. Wc may
Mver win another pennant, but that won't make se much difference. What
Wtj nsk Mr. Bukcr te give u is a blg-lcague manager, sure of his Jeb for three
years and n real bes of the pla.iing side of the enterprise that type of
Manager will develop a fighting ball club; one that we can holler for,
ln or lese.

In any event, he
cannot object te sincere and honest stigncstiens suggestions ichieh,
ire assure Am, are laird en what we have seen and heard in re
peated visits te all the Xatinnal League cities. It has reached the
point where, with our Phillies in mind, ice rnnnet loudly resent that
"67eic Philadelphia" taunt and that is tough for a chap who loves
this grand old city.
A Battle of Field Generals
FIELD generalship will have much te de with determining whether Prince
ton or Harvard will leave the big Cambridge stadium Saturday afternoon
Ufgerlug under the first defeat punch of the lO'JU teaen. The widely dls
OTtscd Houghten sjstera, which prepares the Crimten for the traditional battles
With the Tigers and Bulldogs, has one all-Important objective the develop develep
Mfnt of a quarterback who uses his brains mere than his hands and feet.
That apparently Is Bill Hepcr's iden of a plan of battle which will meet
with success.
Consequently, in the first game of the l'rlneeten-IIarard-Yale series
we find Charley Buell matching strategy with Johnny German. Buell is re
tarded in gridiron circles as the forwnett Held tactician of the year. UN
direction of piny against Centre, by way of Illustration, was superb. But

Undoubtedly will be a real treat te watch the two grid generals In action.
Harvard in the course of the Ilaughten regime developed n system of
fiarterback piny which Is sound and which Is being carried en by Beb
Wither, present head coach. In plain language, it protects the general. It
Wat Houghten's belief that the man who Is responsible for the Intuitive
(often it seems te be that) selection of a thrust at the line, a forward poss,
criss-cress or a drop-kick at the right moment cannot function with the
rapidity and second sense required if lie is conscious of n severe bump and
the attendant pain. A thump en the head may arouse the fight in n halfhutk
r a lineman and he may brillluntly perform whatever part In the pluy long
4rlU has made second nature te him. It is by no means uncommon or was
at when we played for a young man who had played the game of his life
fa "ceme te" in the dressing quarters later en and ask who had wen the game.
THAT is possible for any player save the quarterback or the field
gene) at, whatever position in the backficld he may occupy. His
task requite a brain that is as clear as crystal every second of the
way, and he must knew the score, the relation of the ball te the goal
pests in fart, dozens of things schich guide him in hi work.
Take A'e Unnecessary Risks
CHAHLEY BL'DLL docs net shirk his duty at nny stage of the battle that
It, he teckles, catches, punts, runs with the ball, Interferes and deei
Whatever the occasion may demand. But the system of Harvard play is such
that the quarterback takes no unnecessary risks which might endanger the
smooth running of his precious mental machinery.
German, or whoever is nt quarterback for Princeton, may be expected te
play much the same tjpe of football. In the early games it appeared that
Bill Kepcr did net have a field generul who would come anywhere near equal
ing Buell. The Tiger coach spent many hours with a tloek of young men,
several of whom have developed great possibilities for the future. But it was
German who. in the Chicago gume, showed that he hud mastered the im
portant position.
la the eyes of the true football fan the 6tudent of the game nothing
tjvlte compares with the battle of wits between two keen and courageous field
ffnerals. Thetc has been se little of this in the games plajed ee far this
season.
Having watched both Il.rvnrd r.nc. Princeton in the Intersections! games
