C., On the Side Lines With the Sporting Editor By DENMAN THOMPSON—— HE general opinion of Washington base ball followers regarding the selection of Donie Bush as manager of the Nationals for next season is problematical, but there is every reason for believing that the veteran infielder will not be hampered in the task he has under- taken by any antagonistic attitude on the part of the fans. It is believed | mirers of Clyde Milan, realize that the best interests of the club dic(atcd; that a change be made in the hanagement, and, although Bush is tack- ling the job under the same circumstances as his two predecessors—Mc- | Bride and Milan—in that he has had no experience as a team director, | there is little doubt that he will get the same fair chance to make good | that was accorded them. ' There is no gauge by which a man’s capabilities as a pilot can be judged short of an actual test. It has been demonstrated conclusively that years of big-time experience at the actual business of bossing ath- letes is not invariably essential to the success of a major league manager, and cases can be cited where pilots who made good with a vengeance never even approached stardom as players themselves. Lee Fohl, who may be said to have attained a fairish amount of success by piloting the Browns to within one game of a championship this year after landing them third in 1921, was some kind of a second-string catcher during his rather brief active carcer in the mgjors. And, to ciinch the point, how many can recall offhand where and when Clarence Rowland distinguished himself on the diamond? Yet "Pants” won an America League cham- { pionship and a world title while piloting the White Sox. Innumerable instancex have been furnished of men who occupied first rank as players -ixing to heigl an pilots, notable re- cently being Trix Spoaker, with performance, but there ix an even longer lixt con thixe who enjoyed bat indiffcrent succosx, if they did not fajl com- | pletely, including Waxhington's piiots 1or the laxt (wo seanons. 1 | WHERE McBRIDE AND MILAN WERE LACKING.

Both were game, earnest workers. who knew base ball; and always gave their best when in harness, but who seemed incapable of instilling their spirit into the players under them after they took | { charge. The impression gathered by a majority of those following the fortunes of the Griffmen for the past two seasons was that both Mac and Zeb were too “easy” on the men subject to their orders—that, having been players themselves for so long. they were so thoroughly imbued with | the toiling athlete’s viewpoint that they found themselves incapable of | iacting harshly when a situation requiring drastic measures was present- Two well know ed.

A diamond studded belt valued at $10.000. emblematic of supremacy in the mat game and presental by Tex Rickard, New York sports promoter, several years ago, is at stake. A purse of $9,000 has been guaranteed to the men, it was announced, 75 per cont to go to Lewis and 25 per cent to Zbyszko. 4 Lewis was said to be a slight fa- vorite. | Down the Alleys | King Pins of th gue have at last P and will be next Saturday on. found a “at hom Mever Da: and Monroe streets Saturday at 4 o'clock, and the clever District team, that has been knocked about from pillar to post, will be able to enter- | tain.
