¢ WOuLs New Major Pilots BUILD OWN CLUBS, ~ALL SPURNING LEFT-OVERS| Players of Strong Pirate and Indian Squads Must Prove Werth to Fledgling Leaders—Howley Wants Team, Not Record Athletes..- BY JOHN B.

Although most of them are new at the business of handling a hig league club and generally becomingly modest in their attitude toward thes proposi- tion, not one of the newcomers to managerial ranks hesitated to de- clare himself on one point. To a man the to build clubs and not with a left-over combination. are eager to get down to wol Want to Make Own Clubs. Even Donie Bush, former leader of the Griffmen, going into the National League for the first time and heir to a fine collection of bhall players at Pittsburgh, and k MecAllister, who as successor to Tris Speaker at Cleve- land will control a squad that came within an ace of copping the Ameri- can League flag last year, are to as- sume their managership with most open minds. With them, as with the other new -heads, the teams will be formed from players who prove their worth during the 1927 training sea- son instead of from past ances. But all of, these vigorous assertions by managers that came out of the Chicago conclave must not be taken too serious These new bosses may honestly believe right now. what they say. When the stars of other years come under their observation in the Spring camps, however, not much time in looking them over is apt to be wasted by the managers. As usual, it will be the newer talent that will get the attention, while the stars probably will be regarded as fixtures well able to care for themselves. For Bush and McAllister the path to a successful season seems to be somewhat rosy. The former has a powerful aggregation in the Pirates, elthough he admits he knows little of ihem other than through the records. McAlliter perhaps is better situated than Bush, for the new pilot of the Indians is thoroughly familiar with his crowd.- having been coach of the club the past several seasons. Jack's main task, of course, will be finding a center fielder to take the position vacated by the brilliant Speaker, and he could use another good catcher, too. But he declares he is mot worrying particularly about the center field vacancy, figuring there already is in the Cleveland squad an abundance of capable out- fielding material. Two Draw Tough Tasks. A couple of the new mianagers who attended the Chicago session, thougch, are not assuming such pleasant tasks. Dan Howley, shifted from the Toronto Ints to the Browns, and Ray Schalk, elevated to the White Sox manager- ship since the firing of Eddie Coilins, have begun td realize that making much out of almost nothing is a tough thing to do. But both are in a ;ngod to make a game stab at the job. Howley understands thoronghly to the Stove izh more Ban comm!

But no mat- ter how capable is the player, to me he would be worthless if not toiling | for the club and me.” t It appears that some of the formerly | unruly members of the Browns are in for a surprise when they begin working under Howley's direction | Schalk declared himself at Chicago | as being most eager to do a deal of | swapping this Winter. But he either has nothing with which to tempt rival managers or he wants much more than he is willing to give up. White Sox Larder Lean. Excepting a few first-class pitchers, a brilliant outfielder and a fairly de- pendable third sacker, Schalk's larder at Chicago is somewhat lean. And it seems that he will find it excep- tionally difficult to replenish it for some time. George Moriarty, converted from umpire to manager, was a busy man at Chicago, scurrying about the meet- ing hotel on the lookout for capable cubs for his Tiger lair in Detroit. But, like the other fledgling pilots, George wanted something for nothing, or practically nothing. He had no good bait for his Tiger trap and de- parted with his cages empty. He was not discouraged, however. “Of course, 1 wounld like to gét a ready-made third sacker, one with considerable league xperience behind him, but I really feel that I can make a good showing next yvear with what I have at hand. And T have several irons in the fire, too, that may be hammered into soma- thing worth while before the Winter ends.” ‘While Moriarty as an umpire was a stern disciplinarian and probably will be such as manager, he hinted that the Tigers would be allowed to do some thinking for themselves when on the field next year. George opines that a ball player good enough to be a big leaguer should be good enough to exercise some judgment in a game. He does not hold with the exact man- agement in vogue on some clubs. George has his own ideas about the handling of pitchers, too. He stated that if his mound corps showed any- thing like fair ability, there would be no deeply grooved path from the hill to the clubhouse such as has marred Navin Field in Detroit for some years. Carrigan Greatly Respected. Probably none of the new managers in the American League will command more respect next year than Bill Car- rigan, who returns to hoss the Red Sox after an absence from the game of 10 years. Even so early, Bill's rivals are looking for the Boston hunch to be really troublesome after having been the doormat of the league for a long period. Carrigan’s main idea in directing a hall club is to ge* every bit of work out of a player at all times, according to those who have associated with him in the national pastime and after talking with him at Chicago those who know him well insist that he still carries that idea. Carrigan was the least talkative of the new managers gathered at the an- nual session of the big leagues, but evidently he said just enough to make his rivals realize he lost none of his nzfllty as a pilot during his long lay- o that one of the big troubles at Nt.

Standing room ARCADIAN, CAPITOL GIRLS TO STAGE COURT NOVELTY Jack Martin's Arcadian girls' fair tossers of Capitol A. C., & couple of Washington League teams and a pair of independent boys’ quints will com- bine tonight to stage a basket ball triple-header at Arcadia Auditorium, Fourteenth and Park road. The court sport entertainment will get under way at 7 o'clock and three hours of it will be exhibited. Heading the bill will be the contest between the Arcadian and Capitol girls, who will take the court at 9§ o'clock. The Arcadians have heen playing as a five-member team under men’s rules, while the Capitols always have clupg to the women's rules, which call for a six-member team. A compromise has heen effected for to- night's clash, however. The first half of the tilt will be between flve-member teams and the second half bétween six-member teams. The Washington League contest will bring together the Park Views and Kanawhas, both strong teams in the city loop. They will swing into action at 8 o'clock. The preliminary match has been ar- ranged for the Chevy Chase Senfors at Franklin 7685 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Opening their home season, Ana- costia Eagles, District unlimited court champions, will entertain Yo- semite tosers this afternoon at 3 o'clock at Congress Heights Audi- torlum. The game will follow the Washington League senior tilt be- tween Arrows and Auths. Fagles won their first game over the fast Frederick, Md., team in the Mary- tand cit “Olympic Senior basketers vesterday defeated Arrows in a warm 0-21 battle at Columbia Heights Center. It was the Arrows' first loss in 10 starts this season. Sheaffer was the biggest gun in the visitors’ attack, ringing up 11 points. The Olympic cause also was materially alded by the strong play of Chester Freemas: formerly of Central High's court team, who was making his debut with Olympics. Enrjght and McGowan, each with 6 points, were Arrows’ high scorers. DEVELOPED |So Many Good Men Are A BY H. C. BYRD. ROBABLY no season in vears has produced as many really good foot ball players as the one that closed a short time back, and this is true in this section as in practically every other. With one exception, eve: ichool in the South had one or two or three | men who stood out prominently | throughout the entire season. Some | playera were among the most capable | ever produced in their positions in An all-South Atlantlc team would | be dicult to pick, perhaps more dif- fieult than for any other previous sea- | son in South Atiantic foot ball. So many good men are available for each pesition that it would be utterly im- possible to name with any degree of substantiation an all-star team. Cer- tainly no eleven could he picked that would not meet with considerable ad verse criticism. Tackle Positions Cited. For instance. take the tackle posi- tions. No other eleven had a pair of tackles as good as the two holding down those positions at Virginia, yet at Washington and Lee there was one exceptionally good man, at Vir- ginia Polytechnic Institute another, at North Carolina another and at| Georgetown another. It two of these men were selected from other schools, despite the fact there was no other pair as good as the Virginia pair, it would be next to impossible to convince anybody at Virginia or whoever was connected with Virginia that the judgment was sound. ’ Conditions almost as difficult in- volve selections for other positions. For one halfback position, for in- stance, were an all-star team select- ed, it might be necessary to make a choice between Palmer of Washing- ton and Lee and Stevens of Maryland, and they both are great little players. So, all things considered, it is best that this be just a brief resume of the men who did the best work for their teams, who stood out in some way as extraordinary players. More will thus get eredit for good work they dld and, something else, there will be no man who need feel that he has _been slighted by having some one else picked as better for a given iposition when the person picked might be bet- ter omy in the mind of the man do- ing the picking. “All” Teams Mostly Bunk. In other and less carefully selected words, with the exception of provid- ing something for reading and conjec- ture, the picking of allany-kind-of- team is, as Dr. W. S. Small, dean’of the College of Fglucation of the Uni- versity of Maryland recently put it, “~almost entirely bunk *+'Some good foot ball was played by [teams around Whshiington, and naturally some good players were de- veloped. . Georgetown beat Syracuse and played fine games against Navy, Pitt and West Virginia, and Maryland won from Yale, and two elevens that can do that naturally would have in their line-ups a few capable performers. Yet, possibly, the outstanding play- er in this immediate section was mot on either of these elevens, as in all probability Foley, Cathelic University quarterback, was not surpassed by any other man in any position in the quality of his play nor in value to his team. Gormley ~ of Georgetown, Hushion of Virginia, Barnes of V. M. 1. and Kessler of Maryland all played fine foot ball at times, but it is doubtful if any of them was as good as Foley. That is one position in which it would not be especially dif- ficult to pick the man who would get an all-star position. Many Good Halfbacks. Many good halfbacks were seen in many games. Stevens of Maryland would be picked by the writer on any all-star team because the writer is familiar with certain qualifications that' he possesses that would make him invaluable to any team. Yet only a few might concur in that judgment. Palmer of Washington and Lee was a more brilliant running back than Stevens, but was not as good in other ways. especially on defense and in drop-kicking. Nork of Georgetown was a mighty good back, Peake of Polytechnic Institute, and y and Hutter of Virginia, stood out in all their games. Rauber of Washington and Lee was picked as fullhack on practically every all-Southern eleven and was picked as third for that position on one all-American selection. Thomas of Maryland_was a good allaround back, so was Whitlock of Washington and Lee. Dyer of Gallaudet played some fine foot ball, and so did Steh man and Sapp of George Washington. Not a good many ends were above the average, but two teams each had a pair who were brilliant. At George- town Waite and McGrath, hoth Big. heavy, strong and experienced, did consistently fine work and so did | Ahner and Friedburg of Virginia. Outside of these four, ends were far from plentiful. although Spotts of | Washington and Lee probably would | be_next. Sauet of Georgetown was a bril- liant tackle, possibly the most capable man in the position in the section. Luke and Cardwell of Vir- ginia were the bulwark of their team in all games. Holt of Washington and Lee. Mil>s of V. P. I, and Whisnant of North Carolina stood out in every | Georgetown antic Gridmen Farn Praise THIS SEASON vailable for Each Position on Eleven That Mythical Championship Team Is Difficult to Pick. game they played. Thesa.gverg the best tackles in the seetion, but anv hody who could pick the two of Wwho were better than any eth would have to be gifted with far clearer insight Into unknown qualfica tions than the writer. Connaughton Best Guard, Georgetown, in Connaughton, had the best guard in the section. Con naughton stood out in his play against 80 many good teams that he naturally would be picked as the hest of those occupying positions on either side of center. Virginia had a_pair of good guards in Charley Mackall and Finckle, North Carolina had one Whisnant, and Maryland one Crothers. And, by the way, it might not he amiss to say in connectfon with Crothers that at the beginning of the year, without ever having piaved ..ot ball before, he took the place of a man who was ill and with practically no foot ball background, developed by the middle of the season into a very capable player. Especially is this note worthy when it is considersd that Crothers did not turn his eighteenth birthday until last Summer. The four best centers were, Moran of V. P. 1, Phillips of Virginia, Swartz of North Carolina, and Grigsby of The writer heard in one day enough argument between men who had watched Phillips and Moran play many games to satisfy him that it would be impossible for any human being to pick the better of those two without any consideration whatsoever for the merits of the others. Bafford of Maryland also played enough good foét ball at center to earn him the captaincy for next year. And even with these men that have been mentioned as outstanding. real justice has not been done to every- body. On every eleven last Fall were men who contributed faithfully and without acclaim thelr parts in building up creditable gridiron ma chines, and these deserve just as much credit for their efforts as the star who did most of .the ground gaining. Unfortunately, they never get that credit, but they should he well satisfled in the knowledge that the training they have received with- out the acclaim probably is more valuable to them than all the plaud- V.
