MANAGING a major league ball club is a difficult task. Many are called but few remain to enjoy the fruits of success. What is needed most to succeed in the role of major league pilot? That is a question I am often rsked. I really do not feel com-

petent to answer it., for there are so many things that must go into the makeup of a big league manager. Incidentally, there are many highly successful managers who use direc 11 y opposite methods. I am often asked whether diplomacy figures

more prominently than a keen mind in achieving success as a manager. In other words, it is better to be a good judge of human nature than to possess the uncanny ability of outguessing the opposition? It has always been my thought that the handling of his men was a manager's most difficult task. Proper handling of men requires much study and the correct application of the best methods suited to each individual. a tt n I regard Branch Rickey as one of the smartest baseball men l have ever met as far as theory is concerned, yet in several chances as a big league manager, he has never met with much success. u a a RICKEY I regard as a concrete example of my belief that diplomacy, the proper handling of men and situations, is far more essential to success than a keen mind or the ability to outguess the opposition a majority of times. Rickey is unquestionably a great business executive. At present, he has big league baseball topsy-turvy with his incubator system, so to speak, of developing ball players. It appeal's that his system of having a major league club control three or four minor league clubs, where promising recruits can be sent to polish their play, will ultimately be adopted by every major league club. a a IN discussing Rickey, I once heard Bobby Wallace, who in his day ranked with the greatest of shortstops, make the following comment: “Never played under a smarter man than Branch Rickey as far as theory is concerned,” said Bobby, “but somehow he never could get his athletes to play up to his system. “He was a marvel at getting the signals of the opposition. When I played under him. our club at St. Louis knew the hit and run sign, the signal for a steal, the waste ball sign, as well as practically every other signal used by our rivals in pulling their plays, yet somehow we didn't get anywhere. “I fear Rickey’s greatest mistake was laboring under the belief that all of his players had as much brains as he did. This, of course, was a serious mistake. If he had a fault, it was his complete domination of his club, thereby destroying initiative.” a a On the other hand, I know- some highly successful major league managers who scoff at the idea of trying to get the signals of the opposition. They don't care for the theory stuff, are willing to gamble on a superior offense and defense, rather than trying to cram too much strategy into their forces.

TRUE, a keen mind is a valuable asset. for a manager, but I W'ould much prefer a leader with a one-track brain, who could handle his men, rather than ai master mind, who preached theory and had no control over the athletes on or off the ball field. The failure of Rickey as a manager, to my way of thinking, is conclusive proof that managerial strategy is only a minor feature in the winning of ball games. Rickey was and still is one of the smartest men ever connected with baseball, yet as a manager he never met with much success. a a a When all is said and done, the crack of the base hit on offense and the deceptive curves of the pitching staff on defense, arc two essential assets no manager can snppiy, no matter how smart he may be.

Diamond Chatter

A letter received from Ownie Bush, Pittsburgh Pirates’ manager by a local baseball enthusiast, revealed the information that the Indianapolis pilot of the Pirates is well pleased with the Paso Robles, Cal., spring training camp. Ownir. in addition to puttinc thf bovs through some stiff workouts, has bern “hoppitis all over” the squad and has broadcast the information that midnieht is the •‘stay-up" deadline throughout the season for the entire croup. After a short period of rather unjust criticifim Ownie has wen favor with the Pittsburgh fans and Is the recipient of much praise from Smoky City sports writers and fans. Rush Is on the “look-out*’ peering nround for a good catching prospect. In his Irtter here Ownie remarked about the fine showing of Ralston Henslev. a 21-Year-old rookie, who appears to have the makings of a star performer. The Pirates will remain at Paso Robles until March 16th, moving up on the 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th for a four-game series with the Missions at San Francisco and remaining in that city four days longer to play the Seals. The following three days will be occupied in meeting the Oakland Club. On March 23. 30 and 3! and AcrU 1 the Pirates meet the Cubs in four battles at Los Angeles. /April 2 also will be spent opposing the Chicago outfit, this time at Phoenix. Ariz. On the 4th and sth the Pirates will stop off at San Antonio and the 6th at Dallas. The 7th and Bth will be spent in Memphis and up throußh that section to Paducah. Kv. up to St. Louis and “civilisation." That's a touch enough card for any team and the National l.eaguo champs should have plenty of action. Rumors are floating in from New York concerning two of the most prominent holdouts, Vic Aldridge and Pete Donahue. Vic, traded to the Giants for Grimes, doesn't seem to be taking to McGraw's terms and “Jawn” is reported to be getting “fed up” on dickering with Vic. Pete, likewise, is having his squabble with the Reds’ management and it has been rumored that Vic may be traded for Ptte. Wonder what the boys would say then? That would be a lot of moving around for Aldridge, at any rate.

OFF the BACKBOART) By NORMAN E. ISAACS

BACKBOARD dislikes this faultfinding attitude, but occasionally it is necessary to “jump” on certain organizations and individuals. In this instance. Backboard feels that the I. H. S. A. A. should be charged with an error in placing but two officials in the sectional tournaments. It is beyond logical reason to expect an official to work consistently two days of basketball games. For an example, in the Indianapolis sectional, the two officials worked fifteen games on Friday and Saturday, first one refereeing and the other umpiring and vice versa. an a Aside from the strain on a man's physical being there is the mental strain. The officials in most of the sixty-four sectionals this year didn't have enough rest and will unanimously agree that they were happy when the final gun went off. a a o THREE officials should be placed in every sectional, working alternately. Consistently good officiating from tired whistle-footers is too much to expect. We don’t think that Mr. Trester or any of his board of control would relish the job of working in fifteen ball games in two days. And we can assure you that your correspondent wouldn't accept the job at a nickel less than a thou-
