Sa lt's a long, hard climb from the ranks of the minor league manager to a major Jeague berth. A fellow has to keep plugging away for a good many years, and It takes patience, but It's wortht the hard work after alL I have been asked a good many times how It feels to graduate from the minors to the big show, and I can say that it gives a fellow a whole lot of satisfaction. It's a whole lot like getting your sheep skin in college, with the exception that the step from the minors to the majors brings big responsibilities with It ' Leader for Dozen Tears I have been managing ball clubs for the last 12 years. I started out aa a player, and I bad my fling, short as it was, in the major leagues, having played with New York, and Washington. But 1 wasn't satisfied to stick in the game as a player, and when I got my first offer to manage the Springfield club in 1906 I felt that my big chance to make good in base ball, had come. Ever since that time I ha'Ve been ambitious to manage a', major league club to manage a pennant winner and lead it' into a world's series. ... Experience Big Help My experience In the minors has been of great value, and I can toy without ' boasting, that I was suc cessful. My teams won five pen nants over a stretch of 12 years, and I have never had a team finish worse than third. In the minor leagues I picked up Busimell Named U. of P.vgport Mgr. Edward R.

Gets First Chance As manager of the St. Louis Car dinals I am going to get my first chance to make good in the majors, and I hope to succeed. It is my be lief that baseball is played much the same up here aa it is in the minors, and the big dlfferenoe Is the differ ence in the ability of the players, both physically and mentally. Getting the rightplayers and get ting the best there is in them is the big task of a manager. This I hope to do in St. Louis, and I am proud to say that the Cardinals look like a good ball club to me as they stand today. I know I could have inherit ed worse ball clubs than, the one I have now. Prospects' Are Good I'm not going to make any predic tions for my club this year. I have always' figured that actions, not words, count ' most heavily. And I hope; to get action, and lots of It, out of my team. I think tha pen nant race In the National league Is bound to be interesting and hotly contested from start to finish. It will not be a walkaway for any body. I will say that I believe the Car dinals are good enough to win a first division berth, and that some day we can present St. Louis fans with a pennant.

BOSTON, March 2. (I. N. S.) Just be cause the Boston Braves fell down last season there are a good many folks who may be inclined to overlook them in- sizing up the coming National league race. But It Is a good, thing to remember that as long, as the7Braves have Oeorge Stalllngs hanging around they are liable to start something any old time, ao they'll bear watching. It Is true that Stalllngs' aggregation lacks tha class of the Giants and Cubs on paper. It is true that Stalllngs will ng tneir own with the bunch of young have a hard Job filling Maranville's J sters on the Havana race track. shoes and repairing the loss of George Tyler and Jess Barnes to his pitching staff. But Stalllngs Is a resourceful gent. He's liable to get what he wants. Giants Shads Braves Man for man the Braves are shaded by the Giants. ' They are not as well , supplied with ball tossers of class aa ! are the Cubs. They do not even look as good as the Reds or Cards to many criura. out woai uiey ibck in iooks on paper they may make up in fight ing spirit. And THEY HAVE A MAN AGER. Stalllngs Is going to take a numbeaj of youngsters down South this spring of whom he Is expecting great things." If some of these embryo big leaguers come through the Braves may be as harmless as a gas bomb In the coming race. They may not win the pennant, scarcely anyone looks for that, but they may make a world of trouble for the foremost pennant aspirants, and that's Jus tabout what the writer expects to see them do. Seven Twlrlers on Staff , Boston has a staff Including seven pitchers on the reserve list. They are: Allen, Crum, Hughes, Nehf, Ragan, Ru dolph and Scott. Four of this septet are seasoned vet' erans who should be able to take their regular turns In the box. and Stalllngs Is aot worrying about pitching talent. Art Wilson and Tragresser will do the bulk of the catching, with McGraw in reserve.. The infield, with Herzog at second base, Koney at first, Rawlinga at short just about what the writer expects to The Braves also have Miller, Covington, Fitz pa trick and several young, recruits who will fight for jobs.

Foul Ball Retrievers Exempted p.y : , ; . . Tt federal tax on amusements which Is to be levied on baseball patrons this season is of wide application. All fans who pay their way and in this manifer keep the whole pot boiling, are assessed, of course, and so are, most of those who see sanies, but don't play, the season pass holders. Those who will be assessed include according to'the official interpretation of the scope of the tax: .... Ministers. Soldiers and sailors. Stockholders In the club who are not officers or directors. Players' wives and relatives. Relativeirand families of club officers. According to this, club presidents cannot admit their own wives and relatives without collecting the tax on their passes. There are, however, some exemptions to the rule, and these include: Newspaper reporters assigned by their offices to the games. Telegraph operators on duty In the press box. Officials of the club, umpires, players, managers, etc. Orphans admitted tthe game in a body. Retrievers of foul balls or balls hit outside the park. Newspaper boys admitted free to the park to sell papers. Employes' of concessionaires, ushers, groundkeepers, sweepers. THE Lexington Racing association has gone on record as a booster of Lib erty loan, Red Cross and allied war relief organizations in a manner that shows It is a power in Kentucky In more ways than one.

It Is stated that every private stable within a mile of the Oakland track is housing some string of the horses which are to take part Jn the race series which opened last Thursday. High Cost, the $80,000 horse, was among those which came off the cars into Oaklawn last week. 1 This horse was taken on the track for an airing the second day after arrival, and the third day was breesed well down the stretch. In the racing seen at Havana one day recently two of the races were account ed for by descendants of the one-time famous Waterboy, son Sf Watercress Zealandla.

Every player In the squad will get a chance, and there isn't much sense In trying to predict who will' play the various positions not with Hug In the saddle, n, . Pratt Skoald Help .'- V Derrril Pratt should help make the Yanks. He was secured to play second ; -base, and probably will be found there In April. Pipp, Pecklnpaugh and. Baker, make up the rest of Hug's "tentative" Infield. Hug has High, Hendryx, Mar sans. Miller, Lamar,' Camp and Vide for . the outfield. Fair looking material, we'd say. For backstopplng work the Yanks have Walters, 'Ruel and Hannah,, the latter a veteran minor leaguer from Salt Lake. Walters has already made good, but the others are question marks, The pitching staff looks weak. Love, Mogrldge, RusselL Fhawkey. Caldwell ' and Plank are experienced, but Plank Is practically through. The young pitch ers are Brady, Knrlght. Monroe, Mc Graw, Piercy and Thormalen. This Thor ' malen looked .fair -last - fall and -may come out a winner. Extra infield mate rial on the Yank roster Is represented by Zlnn Beck, who is no chicken; Few-. ster, a rookie second sacker. and Aaron . Ward,- a shortstop. None of 'em have set the world afire as yet. : -,' : But with his seasoned slayers to del pend on largely Hug may spring som) surprises. He may coax the- Yankees ' Into a fight for a berth among the first four. He should finish no worse tHad fifth. s-.
