In three summers down here Man- agar Frank baa won one pennant, fin ished third once and finished fourth once. All three seasons ha has de pended on the scientific fame more than un (Its hit and run game to pull the PeUcana through, and In only one season did he have but one or two real good batters. Ths question which both ers a great number of fans Is: Would Frank’s team have made a better rec ord If the manager had applied the. hit and run game more: The answer Is very easy.
