DAVE BANCROFT SANGUINE OF SUCCESS AS MANAGER Only Playihg Pilot in National League and Youngest of Its Team Leaders Will Have Aid of Five Former Giants. A He was making an effort to seem accustomed to surroundings that were new. The effort was noticeable. It was Dave Bancroft, new manager of thé ‘Boston Braves, at his initial big league meeting as a team leader. He was taking his first flyer in the great mart of base ball trading. He went at the business of barter- ing for a ball player the way an ordinary citizen goes about the business of buying a suit of clothes. _ "I like So-and-So on your team,” he said to another manager in the National League, just as he might have said to a clothing salesman, “T like that striped suit in the window.” The fellow manager looked at h And then, just as he would have said to the clothing salesman, “How ¢ much is that suit?” he said to the astonished old-timer, “What'll you take | for So-and-So Which isn't the way base ball deals are begun at all. Bancroft knows it now. He has found out that the way followed by all of the successful iraders in (he base ball business is to tell what you want; to men- every one else on the other fel- low’s team except the man you do want, and If he {s mentioned to say something disparaging abou 4 one. That is the raal way tn Bancroft may adopt it.” Perhaps he won't. He is (oo frank anu forward, it would secin, e able to do the sort of haggling, stall- ing, double-dealing and backing and filling which seems to be essential in the juggling of base ball players. But this David James Bancroft, born thirty-one years ago, and the only active playing manager in the National League, has other admirable qualities. Fans Know His Worth, The fans of every city in the cir- cuit are familiar with his wonderful worth as 4 shortstop and as a timely and hard batsman. They know him @s an carnest. plucky fighter, who does not give up till the ninth inning is ended. Whether he has the bal- ance, the ability to control his tem- per in the handling of men. which he mMust have in order to become & Euc- cessful manager, of course, only time | will tell. To one who hias watched the veteran player—for he is a vet- eran, though only thirty-one—it would feem that he has these quall- ties and that he will succeed. T've got my chance. If three years under the grea wager in base ball, John McGraw, and working for the man who was the greatest pitcher in the game, Christy Mathewson, mean anything, T ought to make good in the biggest opportunity of my life —managing the Boston ciub.” Bancroft says this, and he means it. He has reached the goal for which all players strive—the leadership of a big league team. True, the Braves are not a very good team and haven' been doing so well of late, but Ban- croft says he wishes it that was How Bancroft Reasons d bes named manager team that was winning and way up in the race T'd have to keep them there. If T did the team would get the credit. 1t I didn't I'd get the blame. With a tail-end club you've knowing that things can'e be any worse, that any lmmprovement will count and that there's always the chance to become a miracle man b: bringing a tail-ender héme in front. Deep down in his heart Bancroft be- lHeves he can be a miracle man and can make history repeat. George Stall- ings took a team of despondent Braves in eighth place in 1812, jerked them to fifth place tn 1913 and to a pennant in 1914. Bancroft has a better team to start with now than Stallings ever had, s that if he isn't “up there in 1924 he will be in 1925, he can turn the trick. He belicves he a “man of desting.” He has a unch,’ is golng to iceeed. On the night of November 12, when the trade of Bancroft to the Braves was made, John J. McGraw made one of his terse statements, explaining the “why” of the dewl—"'why” he had let the best shortstop in the National League get away from New York. This statemen: was: “First, for the good of base ball; second, from a desire to do something big for my old friend Matty; and third, to ve Bancroft the opportunity which s ue him to become @ big league man- T *8bo you kiow” said_Bancroft in Chicago the other day, “I think Mad meant every word of it. He might ha picked soms one else for the job or he might have used me to better advan- tage in some other deal. But he didn't. He wanted to give me my chance, and it's a pleasure to think that 1 am going to_get with such 2 man as Matty.' Though he has been playing in the big leagues for nine seasons, Dave is not ready to retire to the bench yet, and it is from him as shortstop regu- larly that the Boston fans may expect the biggest improvement in the de- fensive work of the club. “Playing and managing are not go- ing to both me a bit" says Banny. “I've been captain of a team so long it Just seems natural for me to run things, and it won't be any different when I am doing the thinking for myself.” Watch for the “Pepper.” Therc is one thing that the Boston club will not lack next summer, one of the things which make great ball teams out of collections of medlocre vlayers, and that is “pep”"—the qual- ity known on the diamond as “hustle. The Braves of 1924, unless all of the players who will wear the uniform suddenly somersault In their charac- taristics for years back, will be a team of hustlers. Perhaps the fans of the Hub will change the team' nama _to “Banny's Bumblebees, with Bancroft, as energetic a battler during the course of a game as the diamond knows, to lead them, there s 10 telling where Mickey O'Neil, Barl Smith, Tony Boeckel and “Cotton" Tierney will stop. Not one af this last named quartet can keep silent for a moment, and it will be not un- like a swarm of bees to see them &0 “all over” an umpire when an ad- verse decislon is rendered. However, that is the quality that ®ny successful team must have, and the canny Bancroft knmows it. He knew it when he got the scrapping Tierney in place of the gentlemanly Ford. 'He knew it when he got Kel- leher as a utility infielder. He wants #ome one on the side lines of ablility who can make the other men “hustle” for their jobs—for there is more to this “hustling” thing than the mere mouthing of wol slapping of gloves. With bstitutes waiting on the side lines, the young manager argues that the regulars will play hard and fast for every inning of every game. Will Have Five Ex-Glants, “T won't ask any man to work any harder than I do," says Bancroft. “If “ they work just d as I do, I will know we are oing somewhere. And i we have a little luck with the pitching I think we are pretty sure o _get somewhere.” Bancroft will have five Giants who played on the last three champion- Ship teams of John J.’McGraw when Be wtarts business next spring. In addition to himself at shortstop he will have Casey BStengel and Bill Cunningham, outfielders, and a world series battery in J Barnes and Earl Smith. He wlill have apother pitcher who was'a member of thre other championship teams which Mc- Graw had fn 1911, 1912 and 1913— Rube Marquard. His team will be well grounded in. the McGraw style of ~play.

January 5—William Lawrence Stribling made a de cided hit with the boxing critics in his fight with Dave Rosen berg. Rosey is not the greatest boxer in the world, but he is a rugged mixer with a world of experience, and since most of the experts picked him to beat the Dixie schoolboy, they had no alternative to giving Stribling full credit for his showing. Stribling showed that he not only could hit at long range, but thas any balle bar worsced thr avusted 1 in close he was a real battler.
