Playing the Field - -—With Billy Evans

f— INCE the start of present S major league season I have talked with five star players, who last year were managers, relative to what effect handling a club had on the work of the player.

Lest you alalready have forgotten I will name the athletes I have reference to —Ty Cobb, who managed Detroit for years; Tris Speaker, who did remarkably well at Cleveland: Eddie Collins, who did as well as any one could at Chicago; Rogers Hornsby, who won for St.

Evans

Louis its first pennant and world championship in thirty-eight years, and George Sisler, who handled the Browns with varying success. While all five insist they enjoyed managing a big league club, every one of them doubts whether it is a wise thing for a star player to try to mix his diamond play with managing. All seem to think managing a club Is plenty for one man, without also shouldering the responsibilities of playing some important position. Plenty to Worry About EF a ball player is inclined to worry, he will do most of it during the progress of the game, ordinarily limited to about .two hours,” says Rogers Hornsby. “Now with the manager, it is entirely different. When the ball game is over, he is able to forget about it if he won, but, if he lost, ’'it is only natural that he start second-guessing himself. “If his team has been defeated, the manager immediately starts worrying about tlie next day’s game. He can hardly wait for the time to come around. “In addition to the game itself, he can find plenty to worry about relative to his players, particularly if any of them are Injured and his pitching staff is wobbling. “There seems to be no end to * managerial worries while those of the player are limited.” Recently in a game at St. Louis, with the Boston Red Sox, I had an opportunity to see why big league managers have so many gray hairs. When Unexpected Happens gui HE happening had to do with ? |*| the unexpected that can be--1 * 1 fall a pitcher who is stepping along at top speed, practically invincible. Southpaw Wigard was doing the pitching for the St. Louis Browns. For eight innings he had held the Fed Sox in the hollow of his hand. Only two hits had been made, one of them fluky. Manager Howley of the Browns wore a serene smile of victory’ as his team went out to start the first half of the ninth. Only three Boston Red Sox players had to be retired to insure victory. .The Boston club started hitting the first ball instead of letting Wingard get them in the hole. That forced Wingard to shift his system and he became wild. Before another pitcher could be properly warmed up four hits and tw T o passes with three outs mixed in, had scored four runs and tied up the game. Ken Williams won it for the Browns in the tenth with a home run, thereby saving I>n Howley a lot of worrying over totting a ball game slip away that had been regarded as won.

Worry Handicaps Star 0S a rule too much is expected of star players who also take up the managerial burden when at the very height of their 1 careers. It is baseball precedent that If their clubs fail to show the form expected, the stars worry to such an extent that their playing is affected. While I am Inclined to think the live stars I have mentioned still have managerial ambitions, regardless of what success or failure greeted their earlier efforts. I don’t believe one of them would recommend that a star player be made manager when at the top of his game.

Wild, Glorious Finish

Opener With Louisville Sunday Proves Thrilling, Indian Victory, 6-5. LATE RALLIES COUNT Florence Drives in Deciding Run—Matty Shines. Loyal Tribe fans who saw the Indians nose out the Louisville Colonels in the series opened at Washington Park Sunday were expecting to sit in on some more excitement this afternoon when the ancient rivals stage a double-header. The first tilt today was carded to get under way at 2 p. m. and by the time the second conflict started the crowd was expected to ba swelled by the arrival of speed fans from the 500-mile race. It is customary for many Indianapolis sport followers to take in both motor racing and baseball on Decoration day. Tribe rooters will remember Sunday's thrilling contest when other games have been forgotten. The Betzelites came from behind a 5-to-0 handicap and pulled the fracas out of the fire by scoring four runs in the eighth stanza and two in the inth, winning, 6 to 5. Great Stuff for Fans It was the kind of finish that sets the rooters “goofy.” and the fact the spectacular victory was scored over Louisville made the event all the more glorious. Fourteen Tribe pastimers were used in the wdld encounter. "Tt was a great day for Wid Matthews and it was his daring baserunning that enabled the Indians to tie the count in the ninth. And he got three hits and a. walk. It was up to Pep Florence to drive in the winning run. and he delivered j with a healthy double to right center and scored Brickell. Away to Bad Start * The Indians were erratic in the early innings Sunday and they played poor baseball, four of the eßTonel runs being unearned. In fact the home towmers committed six errors before they got settled. But tfrey finally straightened up, knocked Ben Tincup out of the box, sent Friday to the showers also and forced Louisville to use a third twirler. The Indians also used a : trio of (lingers—Leverett, Schemanske and Koupal. Out of the melee Koupal was returned the winning pitcher andthe loss went against Friday. NOTES OF SUNDAY S TILT Fred Brickell was the author of ; a towering home run in the eighth j Sunday with Yoter on base. The pellet was driven high over the right field fence. Tt was the smash that started the redskin, Tincup, on the way out. Nine Indians batted in the eighth. It was their first good taste of base hits and they’ bunched 'em, a home run, douluto and three singles being registered. Runs driven in:- Brickell, 2; Holke. 2; Florence. 1; Rosenthal, 1; Ellis, 2. Two Louisville runs romped in on errors and one Tribe tally likewise. The one miseue made by the j Colonels cost them the ball game. Here was that heart-throb ninth: Yoter. first up, fouled to Ellis. Mat-1 thews walked and raced to third on Brickell's solid single to center. Wyatt batted for Russell agains Koob’s southpaw shoots and was called out on strikes. Two gone and the Indians two runs behind! Manager Betzel flashed the signal to Matty and Brickell to try the double steal. Catcher McMullen pegged through to Gaffney and Matty sprinted for the plate. McMullen took Gaffney’s return throw and dived for Matthew’s legs. And in the scramble of legs and arms McMullen dropped the ball. The was tied. Thereupon Florence whaled a double to score Brickell with the game-winning run. Maurice Shannon, called “Lay Down Shannon” by many local rooters, struck out twice. Some Tribe fans are of the opinion Shannon purposely played indifferent ball when he was with the locals last year. Leverett pitched great ball and It 1 was errors that got him on the short side of the score. The two runs against him were unearned, one by his own miseue helped by Ralph Miller’s nap. Leverett was removed for a pinch hitter in the seventh. Kdupal pitched the ninth for the ; Tribe and got the side out In or- [ der, Miller to Holke three times. ! Miller made a great play to get Gaff- | ney for. the third out. j The Betzelites pounded the horse- ! side for fourteen hits. Leverett allowed the visitors only four hits in seven innings and fanned three men. The Colonels were guilty of much stalling in order to give Friday ample .time to warm up to relieve Tincup. The Tribe-Colonel series will close with a double-header this afternoon and a single fray Tuesday. After Tuesday the Indians go to Toledo for five days. CHAMPS DEFEATED Bu United Press NEW YORK.

up big and kissed the national pastime good-by. Last winter, President Bob Quinn, in an effort to get a man who would develop a club for the Boston entry in the American League, prevailed upon Bill Carrigan |to return to the game. It must have taken much persuasion, for Carrigan is a wealthy man. at an age when one has no desire to shoulder worry and he certainly accepted that burden when he took over the Red Sox. Accustomed to playing with and piloting a winner, one would imagine the present standing of the Red Sox would greatly aptate the wellknown Mr. Carrigan. However, he is not such a person, because he is aware that baseball clubs cannot'be made from tailendera to pennant winners over night. Accepts Early Reverses Carrigan has accepted the early season reverses in a diplomatic manner. since his club faced three other teams rated as pennant contenders, New York. Philadelphia and Washington. “No manager can win ball games unless he has the material to turn the trick.” replied Carrigan. when I asked him how he felt about the failure of his club to win. The ball players must make the base hits anil score the runs foi* your team yhile your pitcher must hold the other boys. That’s the big story in baseball. “I realized what I was up against when I returned to Ihe game to take charge of the Boston club. It finished last in the American League in 1926. During the first month of play the schedule placed us against three pennant contenders contin uously, a tough brak. Leeks Strength Knowing that. I was prepared for everything that could happen in the way of reverses There are many good players on the Boston club, but it is apparent that it Jacks the offensive and defensive strength of the other eastern teams It is in the book for us to take many a trimming. “I don’t like to lose, but one must accept the seemingly inevitable in the most graceful manner. However, I am sure there will be a certain improvement in the play of the Red Sox. although it may not get us anywhere this year. “I don't see any great changes in the game. I don’t believe the pitching is a a good, which naturally makes the hatting look ‘better. I also note the playing for one run Isn't such a smart system with the rather lively ball in use. "Connie Mack tolled for seven years with a tailender before he showed progress, I am hopeful of beating Connie's time in that respect.” 20 TEAMS ENTERED Bu United Press LOS ANGELES, Cal.. May 30.
