Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK, July 3.—Just as some stuffed tomatoes ar j worse than others so are seme base fca’l managers better than others, and to carry this impressive logic further, whether are wo drifting? The unique subject of managers
and their con • tributory value to the success oi a ball clu l; comes up every ether day between the nou;v of three and four o’clock for debate. Rogers Hornsby is responsible for its newest recurrence
r'. '
Hornsby
Hornsby was expected to perform miraculous feats with the Boston j Braves after succeeding one Mr Slattery, late of Harvard, io the i management. Up till now the only miraculous feat gornsby has performed in con- j nsetien with the Braves has been to desist certain bellicose citizens in j their determination to sink the en- j tire Boston pitching staff in' the un- | inviting waters of the Charles River. ana Much was expected or Hornsby when he became the head man ir j Boston. Possibly too much. There j were some tricks even Koudini couldn’t do without mirrors, trap I doors, or doubles. , n a a HORNSBY had taken the Cardinals and driven them into a championship in St. Louis. Moving abruptly and with some mystery to New York, Hornsby took hold of the Giants during the enforced absence of the “Little Napoleon" and pro- j tiuced a winning streak the like of which the club had not known all j ccason. With these accesses standing out i like a brown derby in a G. O. P. j caucus, Hornsby was expected to j transform cobble stones to rubies. [ When he failed and the club instead cf climbing began to skid, the wolves_| reared back on their haunches and j rent the air with sinister whinings. j Now you hear that this fellow j Hornsby never was a manager. The • Cardinals? Say, Branch Rickey, left j with a madeto--order ball club, j And the Giants —what about I them? Weren’t they a pretty good j ball club? And weren't they just | beginning to play together when j McGraw had to leave them? Horns- i by helped at second and the bet, j but his managing didn’t produce; that spurt. nan This is what you are told today by many of the same critical per- | sons who not many weeks ago j were calling Hornsby cne of the greatest baseball leaders of his j • time—another McGraw in the | rough, and not so rough at that. ; a a a AS a matter of truth Hornsby is j probably a very fine manager. For one thing he is intensely j interested in baseball. ' T e has a driving aggressiveness that somehow escapes tyranny. Knowing baseball is not the; .answer to managerial success so much as knowing men, how to handle them and, most important, when to handle them. Eighty per cent of the McGraw formula consists of this. Hornsby has more than a smattering of it. When his pitchers begin to pitch better ball for him he will look better as a manager. This is true of all managers. It is more true of some than others. This is why no one has yet,been able to settle definitely the disturbing question of whether the manager makes the club or the club the manager. a tt a JThey have been debating this question ever since the first pennant was unfurled in the autumnal breeze. .They .called Frank Chance the peerless leader as long as he was winning flags. a a a T*UT when Chance’s, winning } J ways deserted him it was disclosed that what actually happened was he had inherited a great ball club from Colonel Sslee, including Brown, Reulbach, Pfeffer and juundgren as pitchers, the smartest catcher the game has ever known in John Kling. three great infielders in himself, Evers and Tinker, and two outfielders that were more than fair in Hoffman and Schulte. “No wonder he was a peerless leader,” the critics chorused. “Who wouldn’t have been with those fellow's?” It always has been thus in baseball in the matter of managers and championships. It probably always will be.- Hornsby is merely going through one of the inevitable stages cf the business. Practically all the great managers have gone through it at one time or other. Some have survived to write their names high in the eternal records of the game. These wejre the ones lucky enough to stuml/le across a Slashing .400 hitter or a raw-boned lefthander with superlative con rtf just when they needed him.
Hornsby may have similar luck in the seasons to come and if so posterity will unhesitatingly rank him with the greats. Posterity, unemotional, grave in judgment, and infinitely fair, is like that, RESIGNS AS ANNOUNCER Lawrence Phillips Claims Credit for “Batteries for Today’s Game.” - Bit Ini ted Press WASHINGTON, July 3.—LawLrence Phillips, who claims credit Ibr first announcing “batteries for Relay’s game—” resigned today as for the Washington after twenty-eight seasons’ His “sideline business”, of score cards and other articles field now demands his full

July 3.—The United States’ two leading men's doubles teams today battled for the right to enter the semi-final round of the allEngland tennis teurnament—victory in which probably will mean a Franco-Americe.n final.

Moon and R. O. Cummings and in the other William T. Tilden and Francis Hunter played the British Davis Cup team of G. R. o. Cole-Rees and C. G. Earnest A victory for Lott and Hennessey probably would mean they would play Henri Cochet and 'Jacques Brugncn in the semi-final round. Tilden and Hunter entered the semi-finals by defeating Crole-Rees-and Eames, 4-6. 6-1, 6-2. ,Tilden and Hunter outdrove and outgeneraled the'British Davis cup pair.

Timmer. of Holland, and H. C. Fisher; of Siam. 6-3. 6-3. 6-2. Miss Elizabeth Ryan, American Wightman cup tar. and her partner P. B. D. Spence of Great Britain, opened play today by eliminating the American team of John Hennessey and Miss Helen Jacobs. The score was 6-3. 6-3. Hennessey and Miss Jacobs played a ragged game.

Tribe Goes to Louisville to Take on Colonels Today and Wednesday Twin Bill Carded the Fourth: League Leaders Soon to Head for West: Pirates Recall Brame.
Bruno Betzel took his league leaders to Louisville today to resume the series with the Colonels in a single game this afternoon and a double-header Wednesday. Thursday is an off-day for the Tribesmen as they travel to Kansas City to begin the second western swing on Friday. About 2,700 fans saw the Pittsburgh Pirates nose out the Betzel - ites here Monday in an exhibition tilt, 5 to 4, when Mulligan, subbing for “Pie” Traynor, reached first on an error in the eighth and stole second. third and home to carry in what proved to be the winning run. rirate "Regulars Used Manager Bush used his regular line-up for six innings with a sec-ond-string pitcher, Walter Tauscher, on the mound. It was a neat battle and but for a little nervousness the Indians would have finished on the big end of the score. Herman Layne, former Pirate, was the Tribe batting star with a home run and double and Grantham was best for the major leaguers with a triple and single. Reb Russell made his presence felt with a triple and single and Wid Matthews cut in with a double and single. Joe Dawson pitched the eighth and ninth for the visitors and for the Indians Boone hurled seven innings and Speece two. Tribe Lores Brame Erwin Brame, tall pitcher obtained from the Pirates recently with Outfielder Comorosky "fallen Bill Burwell was sent up to try his hand with the Bushmen, was ordered to rejoin the Pirates in a wire received late Monday from the m&in office of the 1327 National League champions at Pittsburgh. And with the departure of Brame with the Pirates, Burwell was ordered to return to the Indians. Burwell was on the Pittsburgh bench here Monday. Brame proved a falnner with the Indians despite -the fact he was batted freely in most of his starts and many fans regret Ownie Bush’s j With Major Stars Y esterday By United Press Babe Ruth—Hit his thirty-first home run of the season and a double in three trips. Lou Gehrig—Failed to connect in three attempts. Tris Speaker—Hitless in first game after once to the .plate. Did not play in the second game. Ty Cobb—Hit a double and three singles in the first game; five times at bat. Failed to hit in five attempts in second game. Rogers Hornsby—Hit one single in four attempts in the first game; three trips in the second game resulted in one single. Harry Heilmann—Hit a double and a single in five attempts. > Art Neht pitched the Chicago Cubs into' third place in the National League race Monday, as he allowed the Cincinnati Reds only five hits, beating them, 8 to 2. The Boston Braves and the Philties' played two extra inning games, the Braves winning the first 4 to 3 in fourteen innings and the second, 5 to 4. tn ten innings. y Lou Gehrig’s wildthrow with the score tied resulted in a Yankee defeat of 4 to 3 by the Washington Senators, in spite of Babe Ruth’s thirty-first homer of the season. The Philadelphia Atheltics split a double-header with the Boston Bed Sox. The first game went to the A's 9 to 2, and the second to Boston, 7 to 4. The Chicago White Sox twice defeated the St. Louis Browns, 7 to 1 and 9 to 8. Home runs by Tavener and Wingo contributed to the Detroit Tigers’ 7 to 3 victory over the Cleveland Indians,
action in ordering him recalled at a time wh*n the league leaders are facing a tough trip through the West. There is a hunch felt that Bill Burwell will try to outdo Erwin Brame's work with the Indians. However, Brame's value was his ability to get stronger as games advanced, whereas Burnell's trouble here and with the Pirates has been his failure to stay effective in the late innings. Barnhart. Pirate left fielder, made a great catch on Comorosky in the sixth when he went over near the foul line and snared a low line drive backhanded. Mulligan was enabled lo execute his three consecutive steals in the eighth, because S*eere wound un like a clock and permitted the base runner to gain bit leads. Only one of the Pirates' five runs was earned. All Tribe runs were of the earned variety. Walter Holke was out of action with a lame knee. v Lavne's home run went over the low fence In left and the drive had p entv of “heft” behind it. The big leaguers failed to solve Boone for a safety until alter two down in the fourth. Grantham and Traynor made spectacular catches of high fouls. With the exception of one hieh throw. Warstier turrrd in a dandy game at short for the Betzrlitcs. He had seven assists. Kvle Anderson, who entered the game in the late innlnga at second, captained the Chicago University nine the past spring. He also starred with the Maroon football team. He is the son of Dave Anderson. former weil known local temi-pro and minor leaguer. Kvle Joined the Pirates, because of his fathers long-time acouantance with Ownie Bush. According to Bush voung Anderson is a splendid prospect.
