With the exception of Jack Barry, t Boston, playing' managers have passed from the major lea-gmea, ana Barry does not expect to continue aa a player many season. . Christy Mathewson. according- to reports from Cincinnati, may try out his trusty wing in a. few games for the Reds this year, but Christy can hardly be classed as a playing man ager, for he is practically through as a j pitcher. So the big league clubs, wtthBartT, : exception, are sporting bench man agers, and 7Tast of the clubs In the three biff minor league have followed suit. A glance at the managerial rosters of the International league, the American association and the Faclflo Qoast league reveal a the fact that there are hut six playing managers left in Class AA. company. Wo la, Xaternatiomal. In Ed Barrow's circuit Larry Lajole, at Toronto, Dan llowley, at Montreal, and Mike Pool an, at Rochester, ara the only managers woo will play SxUl this season. Fat Donovan, at Buffalo; Tom Keedham, at Newark; Billy Smltn, at Richmond; Jaok Dun, at Baltimore, and Jack Egan, at Provldelnce, will manage from the bench. Joe Tinker, now manager of tho Columbus cjub of the American asso ciation, and Roger Bresnahan, the Iron Duke of Toledo, are the only pilots in Tom Hickey's circuit who will don the spangles. Tinker announced when he took over the Columbus club that oe would occupy the hot corner for his team, and Bresnahan will catch a few games for Toledo and may fill in now and then when one of his outfielders needs a rest. rield Xadra Hays Worries. In the Pacific Coast league George St vail, newly appointed manager of the vernon cjud, win taite plena on the or ferings of the pitchers as first sacker for his entry In Al Baum's pennant chase. Ftraak Ohanoo, of Los An gales ; Harry Worverton, of San Franclsoo; Dei Howard, of Oakland; Ril Bern hard, of Salt Lake, and Walter Mc- Credle. of Portland are all bench skippers. The American association managers who boss the boys from the shelter of the bench are Bill Clymar, Louivllle; John Ganrel, Kansas City; Danny Shay. Milwaukee; Jack Hendricks, Indianapolis; MJke Kelley, St. Paul. and Joe Can till on, Minneapolis. Playing managers, according to the belief of most club owners, do cot get the same results as the manager who directs a team from the bench. In ad dltlon to the worries of managing a club they have the worries of playing as well. So the playing manager, we find. Is just about as scarce as hen molars. Tom Darmody has placed the stamp of approval on George Btovall. his I BOO manager. S to vail, aepqrdlng to. Darmody, showed him more baseball knqwledge than any manager Vernon has had since Hap Hogan. .There is no question but that George knows baseball and ean put into execution what he knows. Although inollned to verbal bellicosity, Stovall is a distinct Improvement over Ham. Patterson, who does his fighting on tha field regard less of the feeling of the fans. Stovall ought tq prove a popular leader la Vernon. A ball player christened Mamaux A pretty good speed ball could thraux He threw it so fast. The fans sat aghast. Through the air they could not see; t Billy Hamilton, who used to be a groat base thief with, the Philadelphia Nationals and Boston Braves, later acting as scout and then' manager of teams in the New England league, has a chance to land the job of chief of police of Clinton, Mass. The great humane society has got a job la store . To keep Fred Welsh from spilling a lot of Kelson gore.' - Few fighters have depreciated as Eddie McGoorty, once one of the best middleweight in the world. Tomm Uren, an Australian ham and egger, gave him a 20 round lacing at Sydney, N. S. W., a week ago. The once great left band of McGeorty might just as well have been tied to nis torso xor all th good It did. him. His van quisher was a dozen pounds lighter and McGoorty was a IS to 10 favorite. Carson Bigbee gave such a splendid exhibition of baserunning at New Or leans, that Manager Jimmy Callahan decided to try him out In the lead-oft position. Bigbee, said an enthnslastie scribe of the Pelican city, swiped ev erything from New Orleans but the groundkeeper's lunch basket. Carson is surcharged with pepper and that, backed up by native ability, makes star ball players. Society, Nte: Invitations to . coming out parties, tendered j Mister Lester parcy of Sydney, New South Wales, have been re called by Governor Whitman and Governor Pleasant. When Les Darcy sneaked away from Australia in the hold of a sailing ve-i seL - he had : no misgivings, doubtless. as to his reception in peaceful Amer ica. - He was received with impulsive acclaim the day. he landed in New York an4 naturally looked forward to reap ing a rich harvest in thevboxlnr ring. There weretalks ef 130,069 purses and more $30,000 purses and Darcy an noucced that as soon as he had laid enough, aside to ear for -his family he would go to London to enlist in the! British army. He denied emphatically tnat ne had escaped from Australia to avoid military duty. He denied it so often and at suph length that people began to grow suspicious of his sin cerity. Gradually there developed revulsion of feeling toward Darcy, who was .openly called a "slacker," the most opprobrious epithet in war time in the English language. Darcy met his first great rebuff at me hands of Governor Whitman of New York, who ordered the state box ing commission to refuse its Dermis aioa for his match with Al McCoy. pointing out particularly that Darcy was a "slacker." Then Les was matched with Jeff Smith to -fight 20 rounds at New Orleans. Governor Pleasant made a special request of Promoter Tertorich not to go through with the conteet en the ground that Darcy was a "slacker." The supreme sacrifice of George Carpentler on the French front was pointed out as an example to Darcy, Darcy asserts that he will apply for citizenship papers in this country, but it is somewhat doubtful If be will be granted them. The Australian a fugi tlve from his own country, finds hlm-r self in a predicament of his ciwn in a ing. The best way out of a bad mess, it appears, is for Darey to cross over into Canada and do his belated "bit' for his country. Ty Cobb must have put a little j fight into the Reds.

(TJ. P.) -If reports from pro-season contests In which the . Giants participated are worth anything, Benny Xauff, the blushing violet of the Federal league, stands a fine chance of enjoying the test season' of his career this summtr, Kauff, the fcox scores shew, hit the ball on the nose with startling regular ity and flrmnops, and the box scores also showed that he occasionally drew a base on balls instead of swinging wildly at the bad ones. When the eeason ended last fall Kauff was showing some of the stuff that made hire a king of batters in the old Gllmore circuit. He was whal ing away at the horsehlde in a manner that would have soon boosted his batting average te very near the .300 class. It was the result of close study by Benny and some close tutoring by John McGraw- JCauff had been told he ouldn't ewlng in the general direction of a National league baseball and slain it out of the lot. Whan Benny entered the circuit pre- Jded over by John K. Tener It became a standing joke that he would take a smash at anything, sincere and certain in the belief that a baseball couldn't be thrown past him very often. It was a fact. He was so eager to nit that he would swing at anything. That's all ehanged now. Benny has learned to wait and get the good ones, And when he connects it means some' thing,, for there are few batters in either tig league with the driving power that Is contained in his stock frame. IVm' partly Ty Cobb's fault that Benny is making such marks for him self, the reports say. Benny grew el- most green with Jealousy when he was thrown Into a series against the Qeor glan, and when Ty attacked Buck Herzog, with whom Benny rooms, his desire to eclipse the, famous Tiger knew no bounds. He out-Cobbed Oobb In some of those games, punching the ball around for base hits and turning in fielding plays that were sensational. With his ambition, powerful arms, and natural ability to hit there Is no reason why Kauff shouldn't take hU place among batting leaders of the National league. And. It is proper ti remark that Benny has learned to wear heavy batting average without dan ger of.lt running over. MOST STAES ARE FIERY TEMPERED IN BATTLE HEAT Tyrus Cobb Not Alone in Out bursts Against Rival Players. New York. April 14. Ty Cobb's out burst for freedom in spikes, perpe trated In Dallas, Texas, with Charley Herzog the goat. Is sufficient to lead any one to wonder why It Is that near ly every great star In baseball particpated in many bursts ef te many times ending in fist exhibition. Oobb, himself, has had innumerable episodes of temper, and many times they have developed Into blow. The occasion of the butcher nearly put Ty out of baseball for a season, and there was a time when he clambered into grandstand to take up the issue with a spectator. Herzog is a scrappy Individual and a star. Heinle Zimmerman is always eager to argue with some one and he is a star. Joe Wood has had his fist experiences. John McGraw was a fight er and a'fast one. Johnny Evers has encountered trouble in his baseball days more times than any one ever has set down on paper. It's the Unchecked Spirit, It appear that the unchecked spirit that carries men to heights in baseball effort is just a likely to lead them to heedless effort when an argument pre senta Itself. That probably . explains why Herzog and Cpbb mixed. Cobb has ' confessed be intentionally spiked the Giants' second sacker. Ther undoubtedly was "a reason for that an when Herzog grappled with the ueor gian and they went to the Texas sand in a rough and tumble exhibition. was evident the fires had been amoul derlag. It was a queer thing that each par tlcipant in this melee was playing un der orders of two of baseball's scrap piest managers. John McGraw, htm self.' probably has gone through more pugilistic capers' on the diamond than any man In the game, ana rlugn Jen nlngs was a baseball player of some ability with his fists.

J f TRAPSHOOTING HELPS TO BUILD GOOD CITIZENS SPRING SERIES IS TO BE STOPPED FOR ALL TIMES Major League Presidents Op posed to Interleague Con tests in Training. The Inter-league exhibition series indulged in by major league elubs this spring will probably be tabooed next year. Big Ban Johnson is opposed to them and Governor John K Tener does not believe they are the best thins for baseball. The stand taken by Johnson is xnai defeats suffered in the spring take prestige away from a ball club, and the interest of the fans in a team mat loses many games efore the season onans is bound to wane. Last year the Cubs mace a di? mistake by arranging, a series of games with tlje Phillies, a elub in their own league.
