After having the reins in Chicago an untried rookie with bilities as a first base tarts to the latest transferred from Bill Killifer to him | last June, Maranville, instead of be- ing steadied by his new responsibili ties, proceeded to fully justify h reputation of being “hard to handle’ by indulging in a fist fight with a New York taxi driver. Other flagrant breaches of the discipline the Rabbit was expected to enforce among the men under him followed. culminating in a row with a house detective in a Boston hotel a few nights ago, which taxed the patience of the Cub owners to the breaking, point and immediate- 1y preceded his involuntary reduction to the rank: Nominally rated as a gzood hitter, nville has a sticking average of about .225 this vear, and although he is slated to continue as shortstopper for the rest of the campaign under the temporary management of George son, it is unlikely he will be on the Cub roster another season. That much-condemned trade just about made the Pirates, who have be- come a harmonious aggregation team workers instead of the skylark- ing yodelers who attracted so much | unfavorable notoriety when Maranville was leading the nocturnal songfests. Dreyfuss to Enlarge Park. As a result, Dreyfuss now is quiet- Iy going ahead with plans for enter- taining record crowds at his Forbes Field plant, in the Smoky City. Dis- appointed on several occasions by the failure of his employes to come through when a pennant seemed as- sured, the Pirate owner is making no public announcement of his activities, but is reported to have perfected ar- rangements to so enlarge his park for the title games that it will compare favorably with any establishment in the country. When the last world series games were played in Pittsbugh, back in 1909, seats were available for only about 30,000. Recently big additions were made to the covered stands, double- decked, so that the normal capac now is close to 35.000, and it is e pected that bleachers providing close to 10,000 more seats for the coming autumnal clashes with the Griffmen— if the Capital clan again zallops first under the wire, as now seems assured Stanley Harris and his henchmen are making no effort to conceal the fact that they are confident of a sec- ond straight American League title and of meeting the Corsairs for base ball's highest award, but they are fully aware the goal has not yet been reach- ed and can be counted on to remain in high gear until all doubt as to the verdict has been removed Red Sox Are Here Now. The first of their stretch-testing e forts was scheduled for today, with the Boston Red Sox opening a three- game series. Boss Bucky planned to send Alex Ferguson to the hill in this initial combat, which was expected to find thousands of fair fans in the * stands, taking advantage of the fact that it was ‘ladies’ day,” and to fol- low with Jez Zachary and Dutch Rue- ther in the remaining two games. That Harris realizes the Beaneaters may not prove as much of a cinch as their record of only three victories in thirteen games against the champions might indicate is proved by this twirl- ing assignment of the boy boss. The prospect was that Ferguson today would have to contend with Charley Ruffing, a formidable moundsman who has made an enviable record with me- diocre support, and with such accom- plished hurlers as Ehmke and Wing- field available for the other tilts the Griffs will do well to hustle at top speed during the sojourn here of Lee Fohl’s crew.

VERY EXPERIENCED By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, September 4.—George C. Gibson, new pilot of the Chfcago N: tionals, brings to the almost prostrate lMiant catchers of the National League, as well as three vears' ex- perience as leader of the Pittsburgh Plrates. The successor of Walter “Rabbit"” Maranville, who took the helm yes- terday when the “Rabbit” decided to quit as leader, holds the National League record for several feats in backstopping. He caught 150 games in one season as a member of the Pirates; he caught 140 consecutive games, another mark; he caught more than 100 games in | each of six years, and he caught 1 | games all told in the senior circuit, record which stood until Ivy Wingo of Cincinnati broke it recently. Gibson took the place of Oscar | Dugey as coach of the Cubs last Win- | ter. His tenure of office as manager | likely will not extend beyond the pres. ent season.

This vear it has a stadium which seats 110,000. Bonds have been sold for the building of the stadium, and it has to pay. At about this stage foot ball be- gins to take on many of the adjuncts and appurtenances of big business. Building big stadia has become a sort of epidemic in America. The total investment in these structures runs into an astounding number of millions. There is a more or less standard |formula in getting them under way. The first move is to tap some million- aire, after whom the field will be named, for a big donation. Perhaps a memorial gate, bearing the name of the donor, will yield a big slice of the construction funds. Then begins a drive for funds organized as sclen- tifically as a liberty bond drive. The community is, of course, aware of the advertising value of a big stadium, and business and professional men are carefully run down. The undergrad uate body is drained dry. There s a patriotic fervor in the enterprise. The town and college rise up and “put it across,” even if they have scraped the community as clean as the floor of Death Valley. Ushers for Big Games. Fortunately, the fire department al | ways requires a big squad of ushers for the new stadium. This enables us to take care of a good many bo; All the ushers are chosen from the under- graduates. There is a head usher, with an assistant for each of, say. about 15 séctions, in the average sta- dium. In addition, there are three ushers at large. These boys get their lunch, a half dozen tickets and from $15 to §20 for each game. Thus, eight games figure about $160. That's a lot for a college boy. These jobs usually g0 to track or base ball or basket ball athletes who need a little lift over the grade. In addition. there are from 100 to 150 general ushering jobs. They rate one lunch, one ticket and $1. These mall bones are usually tossed to the greasy grinders’—Phi Beta Kappas |and others. Usually a big stadium, in_being projected. built and maintained, may be depended upon to get the college milling around in some kind of a row with the local politicians. 1 remem- ber the case of a big Eastern uni- versity where, after the college sta- dium had been proposed, it was an- nounced that the city was going to a big stadium directly across the street. This, of course, would have been fatal to the college enterprise. The graduate mamager, as a part of his job. had kept close in with the members of the City Council. Through | one of his political allies on the coun cil. he learned that the city had not procured tha land on which it in tended to build, hut that it was pre. paring to get options. The.graduate manager moved in quickly, optioned the ground and eventually ‘succeeded in driving the municipal stadium to a remote section of the city. A lack of similar alertness on the N some ways the universities in the “big time” foot ball competition are | like the man who caught the bear iy the tail and couldn’t let him go.

Z lowed a city stadium to go up in the vicinity of the campus of a big West- ern university. 1 _am told that the university has suffered a great deal from this competition. As I was writing this, I was inter- rupted by a telephone call from a “councilor” in one of our Summer camps. This brings to mind a bit of managerial enterprise of interest to the readers of this series, which I might otherwise have overlooked. Jobs in Summer Camps. It is a part of a graduate manager's job to organize one or more Summer camps. These camps are in part self- supporting, and in part financed by wealthy men—usually alumni. Boys of well-to-do families, usually lads in the grammar grades, are sent to the camps. The cost is around $350 for each boy, for the ten-week period. We—that' is, the foot ball manage- ment—head in with a supply of “‘coun- cilors.” These councilors are high school or college boys who must be supplied with pleasant “jobs or—and this is often of much greater importance— kept under cover during the Summer season. Their work is to help main- tain the general morale of the camps and train the smaller boys in the usual routine of athletics and outdoor exercise. The Summer camp is a useful, al- most _indispensable, institution for a graduate manager. At the end ‘of the school year there is a desperate drive by competing colleges for the out- standing high school athletes. You never can be sure when you have a man landed.
