Y CATCHER AS MANAGER Problem as to Why They Make Best Leaders Unsolved. *Red” Dooin and Roger Bresnahan De Not Find Duties Too Arduous to Prevent Them From ‘Playing In Game. Every year somebody rises to re- mark that the bench manager i su- perior to the man who directs’ his club’s aflairs from the fleld. You can prove this by several cases. You can prove it 1sn't so by Jjust as many. Therefore, llke the anclent query as to tha Age of Anm, the answer is not yet. But here is one line of dope you bave some foundation to argue on: Catchers make good managers, wheth- er they lead from bench or behind the bat. Of the 16 major clubs 6 of them are piloted by catchers or ex- catchers. Why the backstop should blossom forth as a manager isn’t ap- parent, unless, perhaps, he has been 50 busy bossing the pitchers that the habit grows to include the entire elub. Two of the catcher-managers are ac- tively engaged behind the bat and do not find their dutles too laborious to prevent them from being top-notchers These two are Rog- er Bresnahan of the Cardinals and Red Dooin of the Phillies. Cornelius McGillicuddy, when he Iug- ged that impossible name into the big league, was a recelver of rare worth. The only reason he quit receiving was | to become head of a club. His work with the Athletics has been a great accomplishment. Frank Chance, termed the “Peerless Leader,” when the Cubs were at the hey-day of their glory, started as catcher. Then he went to first base, because there was nobody else on hand to occupy that position. Harry Davis also was a catcher, but gave it up to play at the initial station. It i ocertaln the catcher-manager who can warm up his own pitchers is going to have the in: track in #e @@@@‘@@@@@@@@@@3 5% a | the managerial reins after Fred Tenny “Red” Dooln. lecting the box artist. When one | works with a pitcher day in and day out he comes to know the occasiong when he has the “stuff.” The catch er realizes if his pitcher’s ball isn’{ breaking right or if the fast ball hasn't | the hop. Of course, a lot of flingera | are slaughtered on their best days, but | that is part of the game. In the long run it works out that the pticher wha is right on a certain day does better than a fellow who hasn't his best as | sortment of foolers. No ball club ever went very fat without a star oatcher, with the pos- sible exception of the Detroit Tigers, and they possessed such an unusual array of hitting talent that they were exceptions to the rule. Lucky indeed | is the club that has the manager in the strategic position behind the bat: ter and able to do sterling yeoman duty day in and day out. As a demonstration of what intelli gent catching means, look what hap- pened to the Cdrdinals when Roger Bresnahan quit working last autuma. Johnny Kling, who was taken over from the Cubs by Boston and handed has failed, will get a chance to show his worth this season. Kling is cer- | tainly one of the best catchers in the | game, but just how he will work with | the manager’s troubles will be seen | the coming campaign. Fred Tenney himself broke into baseball as a catcher. » PEPOOOORLOHOS NEWS FORECAST. ® R R R R R CRCRCROR (Continued from first page). president will make on this trip, it is regarded as practicaly certain that he will not fail to include in his ad- dresses some of the topics touched by Colonel Roosevelt spech. .

To Test Battleship Florida. Washington, D. C., March 18.—The steaming trials of the super-dread- nought Flopida are expected to en- gross the undivided attention of nav- al men this week. “The interest in the trials is due partly to the fact that the Florida is to be one of the largest and most formiddble fighting machines afloat, but more especially because she is the first battleship to be built in a government yard in many years. A close comparison na- turally will be made between her per- formances d those: of her sister ship, the Utah, which has just been turned out at a private yard. The Florida and the Utah are the latest and mightiest fighting units in the United States Navy and one or the other will supersede the Connecti- cut as the flagship of the North At- lantic fleet. If she comes up to the expectations of her constructors, 22 knots will be reeled oft by the Flori- da, propelled by the enormous tur- bine engines of the Parsons type. When she sails she will represent an expenditure of nearly $10,000,- 000. As compared with the next largest ships in the United States Navy—the Delaware and the North Dakota type—the Florida and Utah are ten feet longer, 1825 tons greater displacement, on even terms as to the main battery, but with two more of the 5-inch guns in the secondary bat- tery. When completely manned the Florida will carry 940 men and 60 officers, and will have a larger steam- ing radius than any vessel now in commission. Stock Show at Fort Worth. Fort Worth, Texas, March 18.— Fort Worth is thronged with the ad- vance guard of visitors to the annial Fat Stock Show given under the aus- pices of the Texas Cattle Raisers’ as- sociation.

ROGKY BOY 13 HAPPY Indian With Picturesque Name and Tribe Satisfied With Home Life. ONCE MUCH IN LIMELIGHT Joke Brings Relief to Wandering and Destitute Indians—Burrows’ Place on Monetary Commission Ex- pires—Honor for Maury, By GEORGE CLINTON. ‘Washington.—Word came to the In dian buteau the other day that Chief Rocky Boy and his Indians in the far northwest were satisfied with the home life, being contented and happy. Chief Rocky Boy once was very much in the congressional limelight. For years this Indian chief and his fol- lowing had'been wandering about the country, homeless, unable to hunt and doing little else but beg for a live- lihood. Finally congress took action and the wandering mendicants were glven a.place to live. Former Sena- tor Beveridge of Indiana is given credit for having done something for Rocky Boy, whose picturesque and somewhat suggestive name attracted more attention than did the supposed starving -condition of the man who bore it. Mr. Beverldge who is now in pri- vate life, would have been given, if Chief Rocky Boy had done )his duty and had had the material to make them, a beaded hunting shirt, mocca- sins, leggings and eagle war bonnet of chieftainship in recognition of serv- ices rendered. Rocky Boy and his warriors and ‘women ‘and children had never been able to‘'get a home. They had been wandering through = Montana lving front' hdnd to mouth and spurned alike by reds and whites. Bill after bill had been introduced for their reliet, but no bill ever came within slght of the passing stage. The name Rocky Boy finally struck a newspaper man's fancy. Possibly he had had the feeling himself. In an idle moment he drew up a mogk measure and in it Senator Beveridge figured as Chief Rocky Boy, while a dozen or so other senators figured un- der oiher names as members of Rocky Boy’s bund of wanderers. The names fitted admirably or misfitted just as admirably. Senator Allison, who in no conceivable circumstances would commit himself In words, was called Chief Talks-Too-Much. Senator Ald- rich,” fer reasons which may be ap- parent to people who know something of him, appeared in the relief measure ag Chief Smooth Medicine. Joke Brought Results, A copy of the skit fell under Sena- tor Beveridge's eye. It amused him. He hung it on the wall of his room. He showed it to people, and finally one day it occurred to him that Rocky Boy and his band had done him a service, ‘and he reaolved to look into Rocky Boy’s case. He did look into it and found that the chief and his wandering Montana band were wor- thy of consideration. The Indiana senator made their cause his own. Objecting senators were asked to “be good,” and'a bill- “for the relief of the wandering American-born Indians of Rocky Boy’s baud” passed the sen- ate of the United States. Former Senator Jullus Caesar Bur- rows of Michigan still lives in ‘Wash- Ington in the winter. It was only six weeks ago that his place on the mon- etary commission expired by the lmi- tation of law. Mr. Burrows bas been called here'Jullus Caesar Burrows, That is his name, but he does not al- togetlier like it. Mr. Burrows was elected for several termas to the Unit- -ed States wenate und every thne ex- cept one when his credentials were read from the desk his name was giv- en’ as Julius Caesar Burrows. The last time Mr. Barrows was elected credentlals bore the name of Julius C. Burrrows, and it Is sald that this was done by the Michigan man's ex- pressed request. Throughotit almost the entire time that he held.office Mr. Burrows was known ' thréughout ~the length and breadth of Michigan simply as “Julius Caesar:”; ‘He got tired of it.. His friends sny that -he thought the “Cae- sar” part ggu(ed life tenure of of- fice and mmacked of imperialism. :Walild Honor-Maury.

Occasionally householders require services of policemen that seem ex- traordinary, even to men who have grown old on the force. Said a boy tc 8 patrolman: “Are you the new night policeman on this beat?” The policeman said he was. “Then there’s a man around at our house would like to fix things up with you,” said the boy. “Can you come?” Mentally rehearsing the crushing re- buke that he should deliver if request- ‘ed to condone counterfeiting or kin- dred illegal practices, the patrolman accompanied his guide to the first- floor flat, where a very innocuous- looking young man sat reading 8 newspaper. Having satisfied himself that the officer would be on duty that | night, the young man said: “I ghall sleep in this room, and it you should happen past here about 2 o’clock and hear me yelling my lungs out don't get scared and think some- body is murdering me, but just reach In through the window and shake me good and hard. I shall be in the throes of nightmare, that’s all, and as these folks are all strangers to me, maybe they wouldn’t like to come in and wake me up. The night patrol- man in the street I just moved away from used to perform that little job for me, and I ghall be much obliged If you will do the same.” The policeman seemed disinclined to assume the role of disperser of nightmares, but he finally accepted the unique commission. WERE NOT TO BE CONVINCED Violin Maker's Work 8o Good the Critics Would Not Accept It as His Own. ‘While it i8 no easy matter for a violin maker to rival Btradivarius instruments, an Ameri- can maker once did this, and did it In so effectual a manner that experts pronounced his violin a genuine Btradivarius. ‘The successful man was George Gemunder, who died some ten years ago. His remarkable abil- ity as a maker of viogps was known to many a distinguished player, such as Ole Bull, Remenyl and Wilhelmj, but he achcleved—so runs the story— his greatest success at the last Paris exposition. To that exhibition he sent en imitation Stradivarius, and, to test Its merits, had it placed on exhibition as the genuine article, A committee of experts carefully ex- amined the instrument and pronounced It a Stradivarius. So far Gemunder’s trumph was complete, but now came & difficulty. When he claimed that it wasg not an old violin but a new one made by himself, the committee would not believe him. They declared that he had never made the imstru- ment and pronounced him an impos- tor. He had done his work too well. Meteor’s Rings.
