were Buany predicted that Elber- -SLAvwtt A be a hu&e success.lire team that Elberfeld was unfor-tunate enough to fall heir to was a

club that was hopeleisly out of therace, had lost all heart and was badlysplit up by eilqoea and dissension. Ailth,oddg were against Elberfeld from"the very start and try as he might hewas unable to make any headway. Asa private, the failure of 'New. York towin cast ; no reflection Elberfeld,as his work was Invariably one of thefeature points of the losing team'splay. Defeats - suffered by the High-landers, however, meant something' toElberfeld as manager, and successivereverses naturally affected his play., It was no surprise then that Elber-feld ' desired to get away from NewYork at the close of the season." JimmyMcAleer had full confidence in thegreat little player, and during the win-ter negotiated a trade for him. .Lastyear the "Tobasco --Kid's" work wasone of the bright features of the Na-tional's showing. Few third basemenin the country showed to better ad-vantage. He was a tower of strengthat the difficult . corner. Nothing couldbe more positive proof of the fact thatthe duties as manager Of the-- NewYork Americans greatly affected theplaying of the star third sacker.

Once upon a time Jake Stahl wasmanager of the Washington team.Jake was unfortunttte enough to getaway with a flying start, and for amonth held down 'first place, althoughthe team he commanded , merited nosuch high position.. When the teamstruck its real gait and began a quickslide for cellar honors, no one wasblamed except Stahl, the one man whowas in no way responsible.; Stahl wasa high class first sacker in those davsbut his playing of 1906 was not to becompared with the brilliant formshown by the big fellow last seasonfor the Boston Americans. If you careto hear a sad story, just have Jake tellyou what a manager of a losing teamis forced to take and still try to lookhappy. ' :;

When his duties were simply thoseof the ordinary player, no man wasever more carefree than the late"Chick" Stahl.. Yet it is claimed thatthe duties of manager caused Stahl towelcome the call of "You're out" bythe great umpire. Last year that clev-er catcher, ."Red" Dooin, essayed tomanage the Phillies, and - Nationalleague umpires tell me that the taskhad its usual effect. '

Few star players seem to be able toweather the task of looking after theirposition in their usual faultless style,and in addition take care of the man-agerial duties. The selecting of thebatteries, the substitution of the pinchhitter at the proper time, the derrick-in- g

of a pitcher at the proper mo-ment, the --preserving of, harmony aridthe infusing of ginger into the team'splayj appear to have a very detrimentaleffect on the playing ability of themen in question.

When the game is over the worriesof the player are ended until the nextafternoon. Not h the manager;his worries often just commence atthat point There is generally somedisputed play to be settled, a thoughtas to who will pitch the next game,a doubt as to whether his best catcherwill be able to work, and innumerableother troubles of a like nature. Inaddition to all these things the mana-ger, must continually bear the brunt ofthe roasts as handed out by critic andfan because of the failure of his teamto win. .

It will be Interesting to watch thecareer of Chase and Wallace as man-agers, should the latter be appointed.Will they have the usualsad experi-ence? .-

New Tork, Feb. 13. Owen Moran.the EngUah" lightweight , championpuKilwt and Theodore Roosevelt clasp-ed hands and exchanged good wishesIn the dining oar of a New Tork. Cen-tral train which brought both tha col-onel and the game little British boxeron to thia city from Michigan today. "

Moran had never seen the formepresident, but picked out the colonelanions a party which, entered the din-ing car of tho Wolverine as the trainwas running through Canada towardNiagara Falls last night. When afriend, who noted Moran's presenceapproached Mr.. Roosevelt and askedhim If he would like to meet the Eng-lish lightweight, the colonel immedi-ately turned away from his compan-ions and walked over to Moran's table.'I've been a little out of line- on box-ing matters for the last year or so,"said the colonel after, greetings' wereexchanged. He was speedily enlight-ened as to Moran's record, and on kin-dred pugilistic events among the light-weights.

"So you knocked Nelson out, ""didyou? Fine! Magnificent!' exclaimedthe colonel, who looked the little fight-er over appreciatively and. examinedclosely a peculiarity of one of Moran'shands. For some tim-- they ex-changed reminiscences of fights Undfighters.

When Moran remarked on the readi-ness with which Colonel Roosevelt hadconsented to talk to him, and the con-trast which the fighter found with theexcluslveness of eminent men abroad;the colonel straightened up and clench-ed his hands.

"Wall, there's no king that I canttalk to, and no honest man that can'ttalk to me." the colonel declared, withcharacter tie emphasis. Boxer andformer president wished each otherthe best of rood fortune on parting.

ADMITS UMPIRE Y -CAN BEST JUDGE PLAYS.

Jack Knight Gives the Poor AbusedArbiter Soma Credit. . v

f8' "ilght turned baseball writerP"" piter and in one of his articlesIn tt New Tork Press to regard tothe umpires, writes as follows:

An umpire, though, is usually In aposition to judge plays better thanany one else. The man back of thebat certainly can see balls and strikes,bettor than any one who is looking attrie plate from an ancle. The field um-pire, being at right angles to a runner,is in the best position ta Judge whetherdie ball or runner reached base first.It's common for- - bench warmers tohowl and yell when a. man on an op-posing taam has been called safe atfirst on a close play. The runner look-ed to be out a "step" to them. The firstbasBtnaa will coma fat after the InningU over and they all chorus the ques-tion, "How was that play V Then thefirst saoker, not for publication, butlor nis teammates only, will answer."I felt him hit the) bag; before I caughtthe ball."

The plays a second base. I Imaging,are the hardest to judge. Playingshortstop most of the time, and cover-ing the) bass when a runner attemptsto steal, I have uad a great numberof nek plays to handle. The runnerand the ball arrive almost at the sametime, and I confess almost three outof five times I don't know whether I'vetagged the man before be hit the baseor not. On the other hand, the manstealing is just as uncertain, althoughhe deosn't admit it, and almost inva-riably differs from the umpire if call-ed out.

TOO MANY PITCHERS.

Latham 'Picks That as One Fault of' Baseball Clubs Today.

"Speaklns of apitdhers,'' said ArlieXAtham, at a winter fanning bee, "1think that the teams have too manpitchers. They carry eight or ninetwirl ors, and you will find that In ninecases out of ten about three of thesepitchers do the work. The others areonly used in case of emergency. Toget the good out of a pitcher ho oughtto work often. I know that the extrapltc4wrs have a chance to work out inthe morning' and keep in condition soas to perfect control, but the troubleis they don't like to do it. They don'tlike to pitch nnieas they have a regularteam to pitch against. There is no ex-cuse for any utility player not being Inshape to play ait any tlmo, but theydon't al ways take advantage of the op-p- ort

unties for practice. It is nearlyhard to impress upon a young; fellow,mind the importance of playing base-ball when bo cms no regular team toplay against. -

"In tthe old days we never carriedmore than twelve or thirteen men on ateam, but every one of those fellowshad to play ball. Sometimes a pitcherwould be used td the outfield on hisday off."

McOrsvw agreed with Latham tfhatthe greatest difficulty In baseball to-day wa In getting: tha youngsters toplay ball very morning so as to keepin shape or on edge for being sent inat a moment's notice. "It is not exact-ly their fault," said McGraw, "for I re-alize bow hard It is to get up ambi-tion when playing against an imagin-ary foe. Some of them do it, however,and that ' is wttaai makes them greatball players."

OLD-TIM- E RINGERSCLEANED UP THOUSAND

John Nolan, Once i Famous DistanceRunner, Gives Sidelight on Methodsof 25 Years Ago. V

The famous old-ti- ' professionalrunners have passed away, and with'them have departed the methods whichthey successfully practiced and whichfilled the sporting pages of those dayswith stories and schemes that seemedincredible to the unsophisticated- mind.

The schemes and races of such farmous sprinters as Harry Bethune, theprince of ringers.who died a short timeago, friendless and penniless, in aCleveland. O., hospital, H. M. Johnson,M. K. Kettleman, the Kansas ranch-man, Jim Quirk, Billy; :Boyd, ArchieMcComb, and, in later years, those ofSkates" Brehm, "Cuckoo" Jim Collins

and other well known sjprinters, wouldfill the paged of a large and interestingbook. .. ;

It is said that Bethune and Kettla-ma- nwon over one hundred thousand

dollars each during their racing ca-reers, and all the others won

good sized fortunes.xno period between 1875 end 1892witnessed the greater number of theseraces, after which the schemes andmethods of these spaedy gentlemen ofthe cinder path were exposed so oftenby the sporting press that the gamebecame unprofitable and was graduallyabandoned. A ringer was a runnerwho, concealing, his identity under anassumed name, traveled about thecountry arranging races that he mightfind difficult to arrange if his identitywas known to his opponent.

The greater number of ringers weresprinters, but there ware also a num-ber of successful long distance men,phief 4mong whom were Jimmy Littleof Boston, George Caton of Pittston.Tim Reagan of New York and John D.Nolan of Norwich. -

Nolan ran 80 out of a total of 160races under an assumed name. Herelates the following story of how themembers of the Brooklyn Athletic cluband several prominent business men ofBrooklyn, .N.-Y.- , were fleeced by theold game:

- "In the autumn of 1887. when I wastrainer of the Pastima Athletic clubof New York city, a friend wrote' mefrom Brooklyn, asking me to come overthere and witness a great 100 yard racebetween two traveling salesmen namedBrown and Boynton for $1,000 a side.The day of the race found me at thetrackalde, where the betting was briskand heavy, with Boynton a pronouncedfavorite. Several thousand dollarswere wagered, as well as diamondpins, rings and watches, on the result.

"I noticed that two men were takingall beta against Brown, and on in-quiring was told that Brown and hisbackers were strangers, while Boyntonhad resided there for more than amonth and had furnished $500 of his$1,000 stake. Moreover, he had repeat-edly shown trials of 9 3- -5 seconds, andcould pot possible be beaten by any-one.

"Promptly at 4 o'clock p. m. the mentoed the mark. At the crack of thapistol Brown was under way and wonby two yards in 2-- 5 seconds. Thecrowd was dumfounded, but the timemade left no excuse for a protest. Thecrowd soon scattered and I then sug-gested to tha trainer of the BrooklynA. C. that we remeasure the course.We did so and found it to be 94 yards.The course had been measured by a 50foot tape owned by Boynton which hadthree feet cut out In the center of Itand was then glued neatly togetheran old trick. ,

"The winner, Brown, proved to beHarry (Bethune, of Canada, and Boyn-ton was his partner, Billy Boyd, alsoof Canada. They cleaned up about$5,000 on the race, and left many sor-rowing friends in Brooklyn.

STARS FAILURESAS CLUB MANAGERS

Playing Seems Affected When Dutiesof Leader Are Assumed.

' Is a star ball player foolish to ac-cept a managerial position?

This has been a much mooted ques-tion in baseball for some time.

Some contend that managerial, du-ties play havoc with a player's ability,others hold to the contrary.

A perusal of baseball history wouldlead one to believe that the affirma-tives had carried the point.

Just at the present time it is' a de-cidedly interesting question. Severalnew managers will hold forth in themajors, some of them will be starplayers. Similar conditions will, pre-vail in a number of minor leagueclubs.

In the American league Hal Chasewill really make his debut as manager,although he finished the fag end ofthe 1910 season as leader of the NewYork Americans. ,.

A new director of affairs is yet to. beselected for the St. Louis Browns,caused by the retirement of JackO'Connor. No official announcementhas been made as to who will managethe club, but it istrongly hinted thatBobby Wallace will be the man. Wal-lace is the star shortstop of theBrowns, unquestionably one of thegreatest players that has ever per-formed at that position.

In the minor leagues any numberof clubs have already, selected theirstar player to act in the capacity ofmanager. "In many cases failure tomake a food showing has necessitatedchanges in the managerships. Inlooking for new men the club ownershave invariably turned to their starplayers to deliver the goods.

Larry Lajoie, as leader of the Naps,made an excellent showing as mana-ger and played a brand of baseballthat caused hiia to as thepremier at his position. His fieldingwas always high class. Many contend-ed that the duties of looking after aball club had affected Lajoie's bat-ting, despite the fact that he was al-ways around the .300 mark or consid-erably better. During his regime asmanager Lajoie was thrice compelledto give op the swatting crown, onceto George Stone of the St. LouisBrowns and twice to Cobb of Detroit.

Late in the campaign of 1909 Lajoiedecided that he had his fill of the du-ties that befall a manager of a majorleague team, and handed over his togato the club owners. His retirement asleader at once created much discus-sion as to what kind of a game hewould play in the season just closed.It Is needless to tell readers of base-ball dope what Lajoie did. They areall familiar with his remarkable bat-ting average of .384. Fans who knewLajoie, the player, before he took upthe managerial reins, will tell you theLajoie of 1910- was the slugging La-joie of old. Not alone in batting, butin all other departments of the game,he acted like a reincarnated player. ,

--When Clark Griffith retired, asmanager of tha New York Americansseveral years ago, - Owner Farrelllooked to the clever and strategic KidElberfeld to fill tha bill. Kid Elber-fel- d
