THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. TUESDAY, MAY 20. 1012 Bringing Up Father Copyrlfbt. 1911. Internatlonal Nfw* Arrrlc* By George McManus By Otto C. Ploto. W HILE viewing with regret the poor showing that such popu lar men as Chance and Tinker are making this year we often won der whether there Is a distinction be tween a great manager and a builder "f a successful baseball team. There must be something to this contention nr else why does It constantly flash across our think pan? There is no one will deny but that I'rank Chance Is a great manager; * ' : hat be can get mot ot the same ” < n under bis charge than any other one individual out of a hundred that try. Yet he's an absolute failure to date with New York. Why? Because he did not build the team he com mands. Scouts were sent abroad to bring home the recruits, and from present observation the scouts failed in their missions. Added to this ,the poor luck that has greeted the 'earn for the past four or five years. To play a whole series against all the clubs in the Eastern division of the American League and.not win a single game—well, we are at a loss to explain it. Yet that's the record, and that's the verdict that will go down against the Peerless Leader In future discussions. * * ft TV/TIND. no one expected Chance lo make good in a single season, nor in two or three seasons for that mat ter.- But we surjely looked for bet ter results than have been brought to date. A lot of wooden Indians, fre quently wen as advertisements in front of cigar stores, could have ac complished no less. It’s now up to Chance to demon strate to us that he can •’build” as well as manage. He has proven to us beyond a doubt that the manage rial abilities are his—won in actual contest time and time again in the severest kind of battle. With mana ger. he must show that he is really all his friends have claimed for him. He must weed out the dead and re place them with live and winning ma terial. When he has done this we’ll shout bravo! * * • r^HANCE did not build up the great ^ machine that won four National League and two world’s champion ships. He was part of the machine before it was handed over to him, but the late Frank Selee gathered Tinker, Kling. Schulte. Evers, Hof- man and the rest of the bunch that stood so gallantly by the P. L. in all those now historic struggles. Selee had to step down and out owing to poor health, and Chance stepped in and developed the heirlooms that his manager left to him. True, Chance made some advan tageous trades that still further « strengthened his machine. But the men traded were all gathered by Se l p e and proved such alluring bait to the other clubs that the swap which brought Brown, Shekard and others into the Cub fold was comparatively eaf-y. So without taking any credit away from Chance, all he had to do in this instance was to keep the well- organized machine moving. This he did with wonderful results. He suc ceeded where another man might have failed. * * * TAKE Clark Griffith, of the Was»h- 1 ington team. He is one of the best managers in the business. Time and time again he has proved this. But we ask. is he a builder? To a certain extent we believe him to be. He surely shbwed such ability when he organized the Highlanders for their first appearance in the Ameri can League. Things, however, were Vat her easy at that time because the younger league was grabbing all the stars from the National. When he got Chesbro he had pretty nearly a team. He failed to make much of a show with Cincinnati. (But so do all the others.) In Washington last year as well as this he is* doing wonders. But in figuring matters remember that it was Cantillon who gbt Johnson to come there, and the other half of the team was helped along by Jim my McAleer. Clark, however, is get ting every ounce out of them. MANDOT 10-T0-8 CHOICE OVER ANDERSON TO-NIGHT LOS ANGELES, May 20.—The expe dience and ring generalship of Joe Man- dot. the New Orleans lightweight, has caused a flood of money to be offered by his admirers at the eleventh hour, and Just twelve hours before he is due to enter the Vernon ring to box Bud An derson, of Medford. Oreg., the Southern bov is a favorite at odds of 10 to 8. With their training concluded in the best of shape, both boys are in per fect condition and confident, Mandot feeling sure he will redeem himself, and Anderson certain that he will add an other knock-out to his record.

'*1, By W. W. Naught on. S AN FRANCISCO, May 20.—In James W. Coffroth’s Eighth Ave nue arena to-night a couple of huskies will have designs on the world’s championship. They are heavyweights and their names are Jess Willard and Gunboat Smith. Did they belong in any other class there would be haggling and maybe claiming of forfeit if one man scaled a few ounces over a stipulated notch. As it is, Willard will have fifty pounds the better of the poundage and Smith will have no redress, for the laws of the ring, so far as they bear upon avoirdupois, do • not hold “north of ’58.” Smith has been made favorite, the price this morning being 10 to 8. This is in pursuance of San Fran cisco’s policy of pinning its faith to the man it knows when a local fight er and a stranger become embroiled. Just what the odds would be if the heavies met in the East is not known, but it is doubtful if Smith would be installed first choice. The Gunner's best performance there was his victory over Bombardier Welis, and Willard outboxed Luther McCar ty, who beat A1 Palzer, who beat Bombardier Wells. Both Willard and Smith are well thought of around New York and axe regarded as fit candidates for the world’s championship. Willard lacks the experience of Smith, and this is one reason of the San Francisco fight followers’ liking for Smith. Gunboat's vaunted knockout punch is another. It may be that Willard also possesses a knockout punch, but San Francisco has no knowledge of the fact. He certainly has not been advertised in that direction to the same extent as Smith. CHARLIE WHITE STOPS THOMAS IN TWO ROUNDS NEW ORLEANS, May 20.—Charlie White stopped Joe Thomas in the second round of their 10-round bout last night. The local boy was an easy victim for the Chicago star, Thomas was knocked down for the count of nine in the first round, after going down two other times, the bell saving him the last time. At the opening of the second. Thomas appeared to have regained his strength, but a few well directed rights and lefts put him groggy again, and after about one minute of the second round the referee, Dick Burke, raised White’s hand and mo tioned Thomas to his corner, MURPHY OFFERS $25,000 FOR RIXEY OR ALEXANDER CHICAGO, May 20.—Charles W Murphy, president of the Chicago Cubs, to-day is on his way East to join the team. It was said at Cub headquarters that he will stop oft en route and try to close a deal whereby three Cubs will be traded for a pitcher, said slab »tar to be the "Walter Johnson of the National League,'' Murphy Is desperate in his desire to bring his club back to the top, and before de- D arting declared he would spend 000 for a Rixey, Alexander or man of that type. SHUGRUE AND LORE BOX FAST 12-ROUND DRAW YOUNGSTOWN. OHIO, May 20.— Young Shrugrue, of Jersey City, and Johnny Lore, of New York, boxed a fast 12-round draw here last night. Tommy Bresnahan. of Newcastle, Pa., was given a well-earned decision over Louis Deponthieu. of Paris, at the end of a 10-round semi-final. TOMMY SHEEHAN WINS. RI1 I IN«S. MONT..

Mathewson As Savior of Giants G O © © O 0 •© Keeps Champs in Race-Marquard White City Park Now Open By Rube Marquard (Holder of the World’s Record of Nineteen Consecutive Victories.) S O many startling surprises have developed in the first month of the major league campaigns it is hard to figure out where it will all end. By the looks of things anything is liable to happen. The "dope” has been upset in so many surprising manners that it seems after all as if there is some “jinx” attached to the magic “13” of this year of grace. However, there are enough beacons shining through the gloom of uncer tainty to re-establish faith in ability as opposed to superstition. We do not have to travel very far just now to find the one real beacon of Giant hope. His name is Christy Mathewson. His work alone Is enough to break all the charms of “jinxes” and “hoodoos," for he arises in the thirteenth year of his career as a Giant and a major league per former to a height of perfection that in any other pitcher would be re garded ns miraculous. Mathewson has been the great bulwark of the Giant pitching staff so long that the pubfic has come to regard his won derful brilliancy as a matter of com mon habit. To none other than the great nlas ter of pitching science may New York contratulate Itself upon being as well to the front in the 1913 National League race. So far he has been the only reliable pitching asset of the veteran talent. Matty is confident that this will be his greatest year, and 1 share the belief with him. Here is a pitcher who very wisely has conserved every* ounce of vital ity. By the use of his head he has been able to shin*} year after year with the very feast possible strain to his arm. And I believe that Chris ty Mathewson will live to as ripe an age of efficiency as did the vener able Cy Young To-day Mathewson is better than he has ever been be fore. Illness Sets “Rube” Back. Mathewson has had to shoulder thf great bulk of the pitching responsi bility so far this season, but I think there will be plenty of help for him from now on. My chief regret for Mathewson, McGraw and all my fel low players has been that I am not capable of doing my share toward making it three pennants in a row*. I offer no excuses, for I know in my heart that very soon 1 will be back into my proper stride. I was just hitting my pace when an attack of tonsilitis set me back. "By the time I am on my feet once more—and that will not be very long. 1 can tell you—the Giants should he as well provided with pitching ma terial as any club could desire. I know from the condition in which the men returned from Texas that a week or two of summer weather would put all our pitchers in first- class shape. Our club is not the only one that has suffered in this respect. Pitch ing, as a general rule, has been very unsatisfaotory so far in both leagues. With very few exceptions— principally Mathewson. Johnson and Plank—pitchers usually the most re liable have been most unsteady. By every law of* precedent this condi tion should not obtain when the vet eran pitchers finally round into shape. Having seen all our rivals but St. Louis, I am more convinced than ever that the Giants should win the pen nant. It will not be the runaway that most of our supporters presumed be fore the start. It will mean a good, steady fight through the whole course, a condition that should make the cur rent season a most memorable one. League Strength in East. ‘The strength of the National League, as evidenced in the first month's play, centered in the Fast, just as it does in the American. Phil adelphia and Brooklyn, rather than Pittsburg and Uhicago. seem bent upon most forcibly debating the championship with the Giants. With Hans Wagner back in the game the Pirates are almost bound to greatly improve their standing. Fred Clarke’s pitchers have be^nVow- fully off color all along, and this condition has resulted in a very se vere handicap for his team. Pitts burg will undoubtedly get back among the leaders, but has so much ground to make up that it can not now be seriously regarded as a challenger of the Giants. Chicago has a very good looking club outside its pitchers, but is so weak in box material that it can not Lope, under present conditions, to cope with any one of the three strongest Eastern clubs. Cincinnati is in the same boat as Chicago. The Indian. Johnston, has been Tinker's only reliable pitcher so far. Yet there is fair strength in the Reds’ staff if the 'men ever get to working properly. Chicago can not muster as much twirling strength as Cincinnati, though Evers’ team in all other Lespects is superior. A very pleasing circumstance to the (iiants is the manner in which George Stallings has resurrected the Boston Braves. Out of practically nothing he has shaped a collection capable of giving the best a very stiff argument. This will prove of great help to the Giants, no doubt, as Boston will be able to stop New York’s rivals once In a while. Heretofore Boston al ways managed somehow to make things interesting enough for New York, but never did a great deal against Pittsburg and Chicago. Giants in Lead Soon. I think that inside of a very short time the Giants will step out into the lead, and once there our club will never be dislodged. It is a fact that we have not played the game of which we - are capable. The fault did not lie wholly in poor pitching, either. We have lost many games because we did not get the most out of our hitting ability and speed. I suppose we looked too lightly upon the other teams. But if so w< have learned a good lesson, for every Giant player will try his very best from now until the season is over Over-confidence is blamed for the loss of a pennant to the Athletics last year. It will not be our sad lot this season. McGraw is a man who wiU not stand for trifling. Sporting Food QIORQI B. PH SPORT. When Aero fired in ancient dan* .1 fen had their sport in brutal way*.

GEORGIA TACKLE DIES FROM TYPHOID FEVER ATHENS, GA, May 20.—William Luther Arnett, of Odessa, a member of the junior law class, of the Univer sity of Georgia, died after an illness of four days here this morning from typhoid fever. His body was carried to his home this afternoon, the law class following th6 casket in a body. He was 26 years old. and in the final gardes of football last fall he was a star tackle. He was one of the best men physically, mentally and morally in the University.

NEW YORK, May 20.—Eddie Han lon and Lew Diamond fought a 10- round draw here last night. Abstinence Will Bring Success G O © © 0 © © Shun Tobacco, Says Frank Chance Bv Frank L. Chance This is my sixteenth year in major league baseball. For fifteen of those years I was connected with the Chi cago club. In that time I have served at practically everything, from ail- round utility man to manager. And. incidentally. I believe that I have about sized up the situation in regard to hall players. In the first place, it is essential that tobacco and drink be left alone. If drink Is ta booed it naturally follows that late hours also will be tabooed. It Is nec essary foi a youngster aspiring to succeed in baseball to see to it that his constitution is made strong and that he does nothing to interfere with his physical development. I have come to the conclusion that a man is not fully developed until ne has reached 30 years of age. Possi bly after that the moderate use f tobacco will not do him any great in jury. So much for my advice to young sters who aspire to make baseball t profession. "My advent into baseball was prob ably as inauspicious as an event of such a nature could possibly be. There w'ere no brass bands to meet me at the station, and. as 1 remember, the newspapers of Chicago devoted a short paragraph—maybe it was only a sentence—to the fact that the Chicago team had signed a young catcher. But I am getting a bit ahead of the story. In 1894-95 I played ball on the Washington College (California) team. With me was a young fellovw also a student at the college, named •Rod” Wagner. During the summer months he was manager or had some thing to do with a town team a*. Sullivan, Ill. He asked me how I would like to play ball there. He told me I could get $40 a month and my board and lodging. At that time I was only 16. and $10 a week sounded pretty good to me, so 1 accepted. The club didn't make any money and 1 was "done” out of my pay. I returned to college in 1897 and took part in a big amateur baseball tournament held in California for youths under 18 years of age. Some of the fellows who entered it of course cheated, but that has nothing to do with my case. “Cal” MeVey. who one time w*as a member of the Cincinnati team, saw me play and recommended me to "Cap” Anson, who was then manager of the Chicago club. Anson* refused to give me a trial. That was either .n the .spring or early summer of 1897. In the autumn of the same year Me Vey wrote to "Jim" Hart, who had ! succeeded Anson, and Hart sent for ' me. I was signed as an extra catcher, j but after 1 had been in Chicago for I a while it seemed to me as if I had been signed as a sort of make-your- •elf-useful around the ball park. Any little odd jobs that were to be done and there wasn’t anybody else handy to do them I was ordered to pitch in. If the bat boys didn't show up, T had to look after the bats. If there was no one else to carry the bats from the “bus” into the ball park, or from the ball park to the “bus,” I did it. If.Hart or some of the veteran players on the club forgot anything, such as gloves and the like, I was sent after them Even some of Jhe “bushers” who were just breaking in pretty much the same as I was. but who happened to be my seniors by a couple of years, employed me as er rand boy for them. But I stood it. I was in the big show and I was determined to make good. I realized that the best way to make good was to stick around as long as they would let me and watch the cavortings of those who knew. I did. I and eventually my time came. And I guess I must have made good. The club was in need of a first b&fle- i man. and I was delegated to cov*«r the bag. It was in 1906 that 1 was made ; manager of the Cubs, after nine years of service. Of course, the rest is what might be called modern history I and there is no use rehashing that.

B OXING attracts unusual attention this week inasmuch as some eft the leading pugilists will take part in important battles in various parts of the country. The big event is the twenty round clash between Jess Willard and Gun boat Smith in San Francisco Tues day night. On the coast there is lit tle speculation on the result. The Californians never have seen Willard fight, but in the East ring followers believe that Willard is too big and clever for the heavy hitting Smith. The winner of this battle will be in a position to force Luther McCarty into a fight, which ought to determine the ownership of the world's title. Klau* Meets McGoorty. Frank Klaus, middleweight cham pion. will make his first appearance in this country since whipping Papke and Carpentier in France, at Pitts burg Saturday night.
