T eagerness to jump right into the limelight at the start and through his bitter disappointments over setbacks rarely considers the trials and difficulties of the man- ager. Of course, he is young and impatient, while the manager is usually careful and cautious. The manager must be responsible for the team as a whole and for results.

He took me from the bench and put me at second base. 1 was overjoyed and naturally thought him the best man- ager 1 ever had seen, Tn my new position I played my first game against Cap Anson's Chicago club. The Cap remembered me from Cedar Rapids. 1 was more than anx- fous to make good that day, and 1 did I had a perfect fielding average and got three clean hits. This made an impression on Anson. He had for- given me for my freshness and cocki- ness—rather liked it, I think. Anyway, after that game he offered to trade Jimmy Ryan for me. Ryan was an_outfielder on the Chicago team. Hanlon refused, much to my delight. That was an important mo- ment _in life. If I had gone to Chi- cago I would have missed those happy days on the Orioles—might have missed my chance to progress. But Hanlon was a wise manager in ways that I did not appreclate.

Both proposals were referred to committees to be reported for action today. The association took no action on a suggestion that it seek to prevent the proposed return bout for the world heavyweight championship between Jack Dempsey and Jess Willard, on the ground that the latter is not a fit opponent for the champlon. Every professional boxer would be required to register with the bureau, at a cost not to exceed 32, and would be given an identification card, which would serve as a “passport” to en- gagements anywhere in the country. The plan would include distribution of detalled information on all boxers and weekly bulletins on resuits of fights. ——— Hiram whitewashed the M. M. Par- ker quint with the scores, 539, 536 and 497.

K.’S BOUT Battler’s New Manager Asserts He Will Produce Full Proof, Following Probe of French Federation Declaring Georges Innocent. By the Associated Press, ARIS, January 16.—Both Battling Siki and his new manager. M. P Brouilhet, maintain their allegations that the fight between the Senegalese and Georges Carpentier was framed, notwithstanding the report of the boxing federation committee which said it had found no evidence of a frame-up. When interviewed by L'Auto, Brouilhet asserted that he would pro- lduce full proof of his charges on February 15, when a civil tribunal will y bear the action brought against the federation by Siki for depriving him | of his title. The same newspaper says a report is current that Francois Descamps, manager of Carpentier, intends to prosecute Siki for slander as a result of the committee’s finding. All of those accused with the alleged “frame-up” of the | championship match between Bat- tling Siki and Georges Carpentier are declared innocent in a report sub- mitted to the French boxing feders tion by the committee which has | been investigating the charges.
