MANAGERS WHO
PLAY SEEM TO
OWE HARO LOOK
By Sam Crane.
WHY is it that so many play-r
er-managers find it so •
convenient or necessary to
lay oft so much longer and oftener
after they are appointed managers,
than when they were in the rank
and file and had some one else to
dictate to them whether they
should be in the line-up or not?
There have been so many in
stances when it has appeared as if
player-managers had taken advan
tage of their position and authori
ty to lay off at times when it did
not seem to be by reason of abso
lute necessity that owners of clubs
have come to the stage where they
may ask questions that might be
embarrassing to certain players
who have been raised to manage
rial positions while in active field
service and fully able and capable
to continue.
We do not make any invidious
comparisons, but it seems to have
been an almost invariable custom
that when players have been lifted
to the more exalted position of
leaders, that off days have been
with them much more frequent
than before their advancement.
There have been cases, of course,
such as those of Chance and Dooin.
where accidents have prevented
those conscientious, loyal and am
bitious player-managers from be
ing regularly and constantly on ac
tive duty, but there are many
others, who have put themselves in
the position to warrant the impres
sion that the baseball easy life was
more in their minds than a strict
appreciation of what they owed to
their employers, as well as to the
baseball public.
Minor injuries and ailments have
been exaggerated more than they
surely would have been if some
certain player-managers were not
the sole judges of their own physi
cal condition.
When a club otf-ner promotes a
player to manager, the player
shows certain mental character
istics of leadership as well as supe
rior ability as a player. It would
never do to place a player over the
heads of his fellows who was not
superior in playing ability. If that
were done, good-bye to his author
ity. Professional ball players were
never known to accept with good
grace the advice of any manager
whom they knew had less knowl
edge of the game or ability to play
It than they. It is a manager’s
personality, too, a certain in-born
characteristic as a leader of men,
than all successful managers have
been and are blessed and fortified
with that enable them to hold their
players to their work as a friction
less team. And without that sys
tem of unity, up goes the whole
shooting match.
It is therefore an absolute neces
sity for the manager to be on the
job and in the place where his best
services can be rendered. If on the
field as an active player, then in
the line-up as often as possible—
if on the bench and coaching lines,
right there, otherwise his players
will have lapses that will put them
out of the rurining.
GIANTS SCORE 22 RUNS
OFF REDLAND HURLERS
NEW YORK, June 6.—Just where
the Cincinnati team stands in relation
to the Giants was never better shown
than yesterday, when the Giants trim
med the Reds. 22 to 10.
Fromme and Keefe were batted for
nine runs in the first two innings. Sam
Fletcher, a recruit from the Reading
(United States league) team, finished
for Cincinnati and was wild and inef
fective.
Doyle in six times up made three sin
gles. a double and a triple.
Second Baseman Egan of the visi
tors acquired a broken nose when he
was hit by a grounder and had to re
tire from the game.
FOOTBALL PUT IN GOOD
STANDING BY COLUMBIA
NEW YORK, June 6.—ln a demonstra
tion lasting twenty minutes 600 gradu
ates of Columbia university cheered yes
terday for the reinstatement of football
as a sport in the university.
The game was banished several years
ago by ’’resident Nicholas Murraj' Butler.
He was present at yesterday’s meeting
and frowned at the continued outbursts.
HARVARD CREW IS FAST
RED TOP, CONN.. June 6. An at
mosphere of optimism pervaded the
Harvard rowing camp today as a result
of the good time made by tile varsity
squad in its first dash against time
over the four-mlle course last night.
Although Head coach Wray refused to
give out the time, it was reported to be
better than 21 minutes. The form of
the crimson crew is excellent and they
are shaping up remarkably well.
Why not begin today and take ad
vantage of the numberless opportuni
ties that dally appear tn the Want A.l
columns of The Georgian? Bargains
galore are there, that mean a big sav
ing to you. Answer quickly any ads
you may see that offer you things at

Jack Johnson Stays Fat, But
Derides All His Challengers
LAS VEGAS, N. M„ June 6.—lt’s
funny how the desert heat
acts upon the fighters. Jim
Flynn, training for his great
Fourth of July fight with Jack
Johnson, is red as a broiled lobster
these days. His face and neck are
studies in flaming scarlet and he
sweats like an honest plowhorse
and reduces his weight ounce by
ounce.
Jack Johnson never has looked
like a broiled lobster and never
will. He doesn't sweat when he
works and so far as is noticeable
he doesn’t shed any of his superflu
ous avoirdupois. And as for the
complexion of his countenance, it
looks as much as ever like the en
trance of the Honsac tunnel at
midnight.
Flynn today weighs 204 pounds;
Johnson says he is under 230, but
he doesn't look It. Jack makes
much of the fact that he is only
going to claim the championship
up to Labor day. Then, he says,
he’s going to retire. Adelina Patti
used to say the same thing, but
Johnson says he means it. And Jim
Flynn, In hie heart of hearts, actu
ally believes that Johnson is going
to permanently retire before that.
To be specific, Flynn is cocksure
that Johnson is going to be frisked
of his crown on July 4 and that
henceforth he will become a "come
back" claimant.
“Yes; I'm going to retire, but not
because I expect to be thumped,”
said Johnson today.
A Modern Alexander.
“I'm like Alexander tlfe Great —
I'm too good. There isn't any one
else to lick. I’m going to stick
to my original proposition. After I
whale Flynn I will fight a man a
week until Labor day and then it
will be curtains for Jack Johnson.
I’ll guarantee to lick all the hopes
in the world between July 4 and
Labor day—red hopes, white hopes,
blue hopes and black hopes. I’ll
PAIGE PITCHES WELL;
WINS GAME WITH HIT
CHATTANOOGA. TENN., June B.
“Piggy" Paige, who has been kicked
around the Southern league a good bit
in his day, turned up with Montgom
ery here yesterday and downed the
Lookouts in a 5 to 2 game.
With runners on second and third in
the seventh and two out, More passed
Gribbens to get Paige, and Piggy sin
gled, scoring two runs. The play prac
tically won the ganje for Montgomery.
The local team allowed two more runs
in the eighth and ninth. Paige passed
three men in succession at the begin
ning of the fourth, and Noyes' single
scored two. Otherwise the ex-Cracker
pitched a great game in his debut with
Montgomery.

"A hope a week or better. Get
me?”
"Does that mean Sam Lang
ford?" some on asked.
"It sure does. But Sam and Joe
Woodman will have to put up a
side bet. I don't like that nigger,
end if I have to do business with
him I want his money. Yes. sir;
if Sam Langford wants a licking
from me he will have to buy it. I

that. I’m the human thrashing ma
chine and they can send all the
boys they want to my mill.”
Talks Much; Trains Little.
Jack talked more today than he
trained. He refuses to take Flynn
very seriously and is sure he will
win in a few rounds. He is keep
ing good hours, however, and takes
considerable road exercise. But he
doesn’t like to box any more. He
stalls and talks and skylarks with
his hoxiqg partners. The whole
four are classed as being the worst
specimens of boxers that ever fol
lowed the campfire of a champion.
Not one of the four ever won even
a preliminary fight in his life. But
Jack doesn’t care. He swats them
ail impartially and lovingly—black
and white alike.
At Montezuma Springs Flynn's
training partners get different
treatment. Flynn Isn't enough of a
boxing craftsman to spare them.
He never learned to hit easy and
Al Williams, Bay Marshall and
Howard Morrow are having a sweet
time of it.
Flynn boxes like he fights. He
wallops with all his might and all
three are ready tn quit; in fact,
they have quit temporarily. All
three were so bunged up today that
there was no boxing matinee and
Tommy Ryan is wondering where
he can get a new set of trainers for
Flynn.
THOMPSON MAKES DEBUT;
STANDS NAPS ON HEADS
CLEVELAND, OHIO. June 6.—Carl
Thompson, star pitcher of the Uni
versity of Georgia team for several
years, broke brilliantly into big league
ball here yesterday. After the Naps
had lit on Quinn and pounded him from
the box, Thompson was sent in. It was
a terrible contract for a youngster, but
he met it like a man. He stood the
Naps on their heads, allowed only two
hits In the four Innings that remained,
fanned four batters and did not allow a
run.
Thompson will soon be given a test
in a full game.
CARL RAY WINS THREE
GAMES IN THREE DAYS
WINSTON-SALEM, N. C.. June 6.
By pitching the Winston-Salt m team
to victory in a double-header yester
day afternoon against Charlotte, Carl
Ray, ales-handed college twirler. broke
the Carolina league, if not the world’s,
record. Ray won Monday’s game by a
score of 7 to 3. Tmnday’s contest was
postponed on account of rain and in
yesterday’s double bill won again by
the score of 7 to 5 In the opening game
and 12 to 3 in the second.

KNOCKED DOffl
ay YOUNGSTER
NEW YORK, June 6.—Two
cauliflower ears today adorn
Matt Wells, holder of the
lightweight championship of Eng
land. Up until last night, when
Wells boxed ten rounds with Young
Brown, an East Side lightweight,
he had only one puffed ear. But in
the third round Brown shot a swing
at the Briton which caught Wells
in the ear and led to the twin
adornment.
Wells was floored in the first
round, but after that he fought
strongly and won the popular ver
dict.
The fight was fast, with the Eng
lishman getting in three blows to
Brown's one, but the young East
Sider fought gamely. Wells was
cautioned for using his head and
hitting on the breakaway.
Wells weighed In at 140 1-2
pounds and Brown at 137.
