NORWIF‘H BULLETIN, MONDAY DECEMBER 30, 1912 MANY NEW MANAGERS FOR 1913 ball Club Officials—Four New Leaders in National| League—White Sox Have Sixteen Pitchers. Dissasisfied with the 1912 season, many ball clubs have made changes in the managerial end of the game for the next season, confident that a change of managers will help the team. general throughout the baseball world, the majors as well as the min- ors making big shifts in the hope of landing pennants. Many team owners have the mis- taken idea that a manager is the cause of the succ or failure of a ball club, and this is what cau radical chunges from year many cases it 18 undoubtedly true that the manager is the cause of the suc- ces or failure of a team, and a change | of managers is very beneficial, but in epuaily as many instances it is in no way the fault of the managers, and the change works no good. In the National league Chicago, Cin- cinnati, Boston and $t. Louis have made changes for the 1913 race. This is just half the clubs and s a very blg percentage. In the American league it is hardly so bad, New Yo belng the only club to make a shift, ang this undoubtedly was for the bet- ter. Under Wolverton the Yankees made an awful showing in the race for the flag In Ban Johnson's circuit, while Chance did far better as the manager of the Cub machine. The New Managers. The new managers in the National league ‘are Johnny Every, at Chicag Joe Tinker, at Cincinnati; Miller Hug- gins, at St. Louls, and George Stall- ings, at Boston. All have seen much experfence in the big show, and their appointment 38 managers is no exper- iment. Their ablility is already weil established, and while they have not held jobs as leaders, they have been at the game for some time, and, by working under some of the brainest of the big show leaders, have learned the game thoroughly and should make good leaders. Evers Tinker and Chance, three of the best man- agers In the big show, all worked with the famous Cub machine, and the teams they lead will certainly have the old pep. In Johnson's Circuit. The season in the American league, as usual, was serene and fast .and few changes were made. The dropping of Wolverton and placing of Chance at the head of the New York club was the only shift. This was a great move by Owner Frank Yorkers, and besides helping his club, will prove a big help to the league. The old managers who continue hold their places in the leagues are John McGrak, York; Fred Clarke, at Bill Dahlen, at Brooklyn, and Red Dooln ,at Philadelphia. In the Amer- fcan league the old heads who hold sway are Jake Stahl, at Boston; Con- nie Mack, at Philadelphia; Joe Birm- ingham, at Cleveland! Hughey Jen- nings, at Detroit, and Jimmy Callahan, ‘hicago. Relief For Ed. Walsh. The White Sox have sixteen pitoh- ers in line for next year. Each one, of course, comes highly recommend- ed.

Paul Withington is Charged With Ac- cepting Salary For Coaching Foot- ball and Swimming Teams. Paul Withington ,assistant grad- uate treasurer of the Harvard Athletic association, has been temporarily suspended by the New England Am- ateur Athletic association and has been requested to appear before the wrestling committee of that body and give his reasons, if any, why the sus- pension should not be made a per- manent one. ‘Withington is in the Medical school and takes a great interest in the swim- hing ,wrestling and football teams He Is a former heavyweight amateur champion wrestler of New Hngland. The charges against him were an af- termath of the association's suspen- sion of a half dozen of Harvard’s best swimmers who engaged in an un- sanctioned meet. Withington protested lustily against this ruling. The committee then busied {tself and announced that the $5,000 a year at Harvard dld not compensate Withington alone for his office work, ibut also paid him for his coaching of the football and swimming teams. It was for coaching that he was sus- pended. An evil which is expected to be brought before the committee shortly is that of promiscuous “expert arti- cle” writings by amateur and college athletes who exchange the use of their names and their Knowledge gained as participants amateur sport for ready cash The college writters willingly admit that such stuff as they subscribe their signatures to would never find en- trance into a newspaper, much less their own coliege news sheet, unless the magic scratch of their signaures accompanied the articles. Chairman’s Statement. When James E. Sullivan, chairmen of the natlonal registration commit- tee of the A. A. U. was asked about Withington's suspension, he said: “I know nothing about the details of his case. I simply heard that he had been suspended. 1 have great faith in the honesty and ability of the members of the New England association, and I «feel sure they would not suspend any one unless they had sufficlent evidence to war- rant it. “If Mr. Wjthington thinks he has been treated unfairly he may appeal from the ruling of the New BEngland association and recelve a hearing by {the national body. If he were sus- { pended unjustly he will be reinstated.” |" When asked whether or not the A. A. U. contemplated passing a law pro- | hibiting athletes from writing signed n A DAY OF WEAKNESS. Declines in Prices Range from Frac- tions to Three Points. New York, Dec. 20.—Contrary to technical observation, the stock market | yesterday exhibited weakness. Declines at the close were exhibited very gen- erally in the list and ranged from frac- tions to three points. The usual fac: tors which act for and against price movements exhibited no special change from other days during the week, and except that there was no particular reason for an advance no specific cause for the reverse was shown. About the most important question of the hour ig “What will be done to the stock ex- change?” The air is fllled with incor- poration talk, a legal curtailment of the privilege of short selling and other things which people advocate as they always do when considering questions about which they have only an ab- stract knowledge. Another influence in the market is the trend of call money. The renewal rate on Friday of 12 per cent. indi- cates the disposition of the banking Interests toward any expansion of gpeculation. Twelve per cent. money does not exist except in a few insti- tutions where stock market loans are a featurs. The attitude of the finan- cial interests, however, is important, as it shows that any attempt at this time to bring on a vigorous bull move- ment would not meet with favor. There is yet too much uncertainty abroad to warrant overconfidence. The atmosphere, all things considered, is not sufficfently clear to allow full play of optimism, although the reasonable outlook s that in time the present clouds will disappear. STOCKS. Figh Amal.

He didn't care kept or not, and he wasn't a bit afraid when he saw the solemn-faced Mack entering the dressing room. Bender had been that way before and Mack had quletly passed him by. But Ben- der's condition that day was the last straw. Mack actually lost his temper. He slapped on a 0 fine, suspended the big chief for the rest of the sea- son without pay and ordered him to take the earliest train for Philadel- phia. Bender was dumbfounded when he heard Mack impose this sentence and left town abruptly. He took a brace alnfost instantly and reported at Shibe park for daily practice, hoping that Mack would relent. But the Athletics’ manager refused to even look at Ben- der, who went home at the end of the season wondering whether he would be traded or not. Stories to the effect that Mack in- tended to send the big chief to the minors soon reached the pitcher's ears He couldn’t believe them, yet he wor- ried. He wrote several letters fo Mack and received no response. But one day Bender decided to place him- gelf on record. He wrote another let- ter to the tall manager in which he declared that he would work his arm off if Mack would glve him just one more chance, When Mack received this missive he smiled. It was just what he had heen waiting fer. He sent to the Indian that he would be ex- pected to report in first class train- ing oondition at the spring training camp and that his retention by the Athletics would depend entirely upon his work in the box. “Hf you break your promise and fall again, it will be the minors for you,” was the manager's warning and it wasn’t a bluff. Mack doesn’t say much anyway, but at the American league meeting in Chicago he told sev- eral close friends that with Bender able to pitch as he did in 1911, the Athletice would win the championship next season. Mack will keep his fa- mous stonewall infield intact—MeIn- nes, Collins, and barry. Just now he seems to favor the former | Baltimore voungsters, Murphy and Walsh, for two of the outfield posi- | tions, with Daly, recently secured from Los Angeles, for the other berth, | unless Rube Oldring, like Bender, de- cides to walk a chalk line. Mack has Bender, Coombs, Plank, Brown, Houck and some good young- sters for the pitching department, to- gether with four catchers, Thomas, Lapp, Egan and Schang, who was ;!rz;fled from the Buffalo club last all. RICH PURS;:E_S IN AUSTRALIA. whetl Seven Big Stake Events During Four Day Meeting at Randwick. The Australian Jockey club's spring meeting at Randwlek, near Sydney, was held recently—the seasons are’re- versed in the southern hemisphere. Among the events decided on the four days covered by the meeting were these rich prizes: Australian Jockey club's Derby, $25,000; Epsom handicap, $10,000; Spring States, $5,000; etro- politan, $20,000: Breeder's Plate, §7,- ; Craven Plate, §10,000; Randwick Plate, $7,500. The Derby Is the first to be run in Australla with $25000 added. Tt costs only $100 to start, and an owner can leave his represen- tative in up to within two days of its Taftville-Crompton Game Postponed. Owing to bad weather the Taftville soccer team had to indefinitely post- Crompton team. Capt. James Greenhalgh leads the scorers, having scored 13 goals in 8 games. Jesse Greenhalgh §, T. Knowles 5, R. Piiling 5 are the pri al scorers. Amongst the new pla who have joined the Taftville line. up are T. Knowles, who has shown that he has a strong kick and T. Ray- mond, who has proved himself to be an abe custodian of the goal. Joe Belair has shown that he has the mak- ing of a good plaver and should prove a valuable asset when the season re- opens. Manager Pearson promises some good, fast and exciting games as eoon as the weather clears and intends to prove that Taftville has one of the best teams in New England. “Passes Make Enemies for Players.” Jack Warhop, the Highlanders' lit- tle pitcher is one ball player who doesn’t believe in club owners issuing passes to ball players. “Passes are more bother than they are worth ;they get a player enemies and really do him no gooed,” declares Warhop. \N‘nrdm( to the general under- »nding in the American league each ball player is allowed two passes by tne ciub owners, and vou can take it from me, a man would have to be wis- er than Solomon to come anywhere near satisfying all the persons who would him ‘friend’ In the sum- mer tir The New Sporting Annual.
