NEW MANAGERS
PROVED FAILURES
Not One of Four Green Pilots
Had Successful Season.
KLING A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT
Leader of Boston Nationals Was Ex
pected to Show Rare Generalship.
O'Day Will Retire to Ranks of Um
piresDavis and Wolvertan Failures.
Not one of the four managers lead
ing major league baseball teams for
the first time In l heir careers this year
put the Clarkes. Chances. McGraws
and Macks in the background.
The National league had two fresb-
m on tnntinlana in PTonlr fl'Fliiv nf tha
Cincinnati club and John Kling of the
Boston club.
Hank O'Day, an old time pitcher, had
been for years one of the successful
members of the National league staff
of umpires, and his appointment to a
post where men like Buck Ewing, Bob
Allen, Bid McPhee, Joe Kelley, Ned
Hanlon, John Gunzel and Clark Grif
fith had failed caused great surprise
among the fans. y
But August Herrmann, the president
of the Reds and a well liked figure in
the sport, told the doubters that O'Day
had watched the best pitchers, catchers
and batsmen of the National league
perform from the first season they en-

tered the league, and surely had mas
tered the sport from the side of tactics
He had seen the keen brained Kling,
Dooin, Bresnahan and Archer vie with
hitters like Wagner, Zimmerman.
Doyle and Magee. He had seen pitch
ers like Mathewsou, Brown and Rucker
go through with their wizardry.
that Garry's confidence in O'Day was
not misplaced. The ex-ump quickly
shot the Reds into the lead, and they
held the top place in the National
league race for many weeks, but there
was a sudden collapse. The Giants
soon collared the Reds, and once out
of the lead. O'Day's team fell out of
sight
Unquestionably Hank will dust his
old blue suit and return to the umpire
staff again next spring. Herrmann is
looking around for a successor, with
F. Otto Knabe of the Phillies and Bill
Sweeney of Boston the leading candi
dates. John Kling, the Cub catcher, who
helped Chance to win his pennants in
1906, 1907, 1908 and 1910, had long
been wanted by other clubs as mana
ger. Many owners believed that-tbe
success of the Cubs was due to Kling's
generalship.
Rivals tampered with him, and be
cause Chicago would not let him go
Kling refused to play during the sea
son of 1909, and Cub pennant suc
cesses, stopped. He rejoined the Cubs
in 1910, and" Chance's men resumed
their championship ways.
Kling was traded to Boston in the
spring of 1911 and played last season
under the direction of Fred Tenney.
When the Boston club changed hands
Tenney was dismissed and Kling took
charge. But Kling hasn't been a suc
cess with the Braves. They are still
playing tail end ball, although it is' pos
sible that the catcher may- pull them
out of their rut if the owners give him
another chance.
The American league had two new
bosses this year in Harry Wolverton of
the Highlanders and Harry Davis of
the Clevelands. Neither has made a
success of it Injuries to players put
Wolverton's team down and out this
year.
On this account the showing of the
team has not been held against Wolver
ton, and he will be at the helm again
next year.
Harry Davis, the brainiest of the
Mack school, didn't do much for the
Naps. J -
111 thinking fans In Cleveland con
demned Davis, and he resigned. They
expected him to mold a penaant winner
right from' tl'e start but this happens
only in fairy books.
