Usually he has no connection with the press box so e must do his own scoring. That created all the trouble. Tn a certain inning in which the Giants made a bunch of runs he gava them more than they were entitled to. .« s The surprising feature is‘that none of the players or umpires noticed the mistake, The fact that it was merely an exhibition game probably explains it e Jack Hendricks, new manager of | the Cincinnati Iteds, is a minor league leader of wide experience and at one time managed the St. Louis Cardinals, Hendricks is a creature of fate, Signed to assist Pat Moran in han- dling the Cincinnati club, the death | of the Reds' popular manager put him in line for the position. 1t will be decidedly interesting to | see what affect, if any, managing a | club has on the three new leaders, | who are player-managers. | Sisler at first, Bancroft at short | and Harris at second are among the | leaders at their respective positions, outstanding stars, Will the worries of | managing a club slow down their The game betwegn the Giants and | White Sox is not without its parallel. Such a thing happened in a regularly * scheduled game in one of the bigger minor leagues several years ago. The boy operating the score board was the town oracle on baseball. How- | ever, he misinterpreted a rule that cut off a run which decided the ball game. Early in the game the home team R ! had a batting rally, putting over a Pl | bunch of runs. The inning ended in | a double play, a runner passing over "he plate while the play was being | completed, That was “the all im- STRIBLING IS WINNER ~ DARCY FOREVER BARRED | compietea.
