ONE NEW NATIONAL LEAGUE MANA6ER TO MAKE INITIAL BOW THIS SEASON

Seven old managers of National league baseball teams will appear on the field when the season opens in April, Jack Hendricks, pilot of the St Louis Cardinals, being the only new manager of the league. Hendricks has behind him a highly successful career In the minors. It is a queer kink of fate that he was a member of the New York Giants when McGraw became their manager in 1002, and Hendricks was one of the first players given the "pink slip” by the new Giant pilot. In 16 years he has worked his way back up the ladder to a place beside the man who ohce declared that he tould never become a big league ball player. Christy Mathewson, Fred Mitchell and Hugo Bezdek are almost as new at the game, in major league experience.
