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.

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. AMERICAN HORSE THIRD IN BIG EPSOM CLASSIC EPSOM.

TFTE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. belt them all one a week and if they come too thick I'll take ’em e\ en faster.” "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 can lick Kangford, too, don’t forget 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.

IWELLSWOHBIIT 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. ATLANTA CRACKS ARE IN VA. TENNIS TOURNEY RICHMOND.
