By BILLY EVANS
Who are the greatest managers
you have played against in major
league basejball? When that ques-’
tion was put to Eddie Collins, j
world’s greatest second baseman’ !
CSI he replied “The ’
four gre a t est j
mangers I have i
ever played
against are Con- ,
nie Mack, John
McGraw, Bill Car

father to his players. He treats ‘
everybody with the greatest con

not get along with Connie Mack *
and progress under his direction is c
simply impossible.

of the chief causes of farm fires. This
is a danger that must be guarded against
in every way possible and it is important,
above all, that sufficient insurance be carried
to make good the losses that lightning may
cause. Are you protected? A policy in

have studied Connie from a dif
ferent angle, that of an opponent.
In considering the great managers
I have played against I do not hesi
tate in having Mr. Mack head the
list.
I regard Jphn McGraw of the
New Tork Giants as another of the
truly greats. I have played in a
number of world series against the
Giants and in a great many exhi
bition games.
"McGraw’s system might be
called the direct opposite of
Mack’s, but equally effective. Mc-
Graw dominates the player, his
word is final. On the other hand
Mack allows for a certain amount
of initiative, and with a great
many of his players permits them
to shift the play if they consider
it advisable.
“I have had the greatest admir
ation for Bill Carrigan. I was
mighty sorry when he quit base
ball. The game needs managers
like Bill Carrigan. His passing
was a distinct loss to the Ameri
can League.
“Carrigan was the boss. Every
good manager must be that, but
Carrigan had away that made a
call down easy to take. He was a
wonder in handling a pitching
staff, had the courage to do the
unusual and always shouldered the
blame. It must have been a real
pleasure to play under Bill Car
rigan.
Strong For Speaker.
“Os the managers of the newer
school in the American League, I
take my hat off to Tris Speaker.
The more I play'against his team
the more I admire the manner in
which he handles’bis club. To my
way of thinking the great mana
gers are not the leaders who stick
to a set style of play, rather they
do the unexpected. The success

change of nace. That goes for the
manager as well. Ke must mix up
his play. "
“A little happening that came
up in a recent game with the
Cleveland club made me respect
Speaker all the more as a mana
ger. The Sox managed to tie up
the game and force it into extra
innings. Thurston, a very effec
tive relief pitcher was working for
the Sox. He is a particularly hard
man to bunt on.
I “In the 13th inning .Toe Sewell,
the first man to face Thurston,
doubled to right. Obviously one
would expect the next batsman to ,
bunt in an effort to get the runner
to third. Stephenson, the next bat-1
ter, is not a great, bunter, but how
he can whale, that ball! Speakers,
crossed every one up bv having :
Stephenson hit... He deubjed
the right field line scoring Sewell:'
with the run that won the game, j
! “Speaker didn’t want to waste
great a hitter as Stephenson with a
mere bunt. The hunch won the
ball game for Cleveland. A man
ager must have plenty of courage :
and be willing to stand criticism i
to attempt the unusual in baseball.
That is why I regard Speaker a
great manager.
“While I have never played
against Kid Gleason as manager
of the opposing team, I want to |
say there are few shrewder lead
ers than my present boss.”

It has been much too hot for
real football weather, and conse

to keep the boys at the fast pace
that is usual at this time of the
football season. The coach has
