Or will Barry’s uncanny world’s series luck bring him new fame and fortune in his new capacity? They are interesting queries and Bos- ton awaits their solution with unusual concern. Connie Mack unquestionably is one of the shrewdest managers in the his- tory of baseball, and his feat of win- ning six pennants and three world’s championships _ stands unequale Mack, unlike MocGraw, permits his players to develop their own individ- uality. Connie has brought out some mighty smart ball players, yet there is not a single former Athietic player who has ever made a Success of run- uing a ball club. Harry Davis, for years captain of the team and Mack’s right hand man ever since he came to Philadelphia, tried his hand at managing the Cleve- land club in 1912, but was not even permitted to finish out the season, giv- ing way to Joe Birmingham in the latter part of the campaign. Then there was Monte Cross, Bar- ry's predecessor, as Athletic shortstop and_a player of much the same type as Barry. Monte was not much of a hitter but likely to come through in the pinch, but he won his greatest fame by his uncanny ability in the short field. Monte was also a very smart bail player and was to be groomed for a big league managerial job in Kansas City. However, after two seasons of faflure in Kansas City Monte went down a peg and tried his luck in Class B, but he did no bet- ter in Seranton than in Kansas City. Then he went to umpiring. Both of the two quaint outfielders of the Athletic champions of 1902 and 1805, the white-haired Topsy Hartzel and the big plump Socks Seybold, also made fizzies of their attempts to manage teams in the American asso- ciation. Both tried their luck in To- sedo, the team now bossed by Roger Bresnahan. Seybold was appointed to the Toledo post by 1909, and despite his failure, Toledo was willing to give another Mackman a trial. Hartflel managed the club In 1912, but was no more successful than Socks. Lave Cross, who was captain of the 1912 and 1915 champion teams, man- aged several teams in the deep sticks without ever getting anywhere. However, most of these players be- longed to the old Athletics and were severing their- connections _with the club around the time Barry was breakinz in. There seems to be sev- eral players of the more famous team, the champions of 1919, 1911, 1913, 1914, who might make successful managers. Omtvedt Wins Ski Meet. Nagowicka, Wis,, Jan. 14—Ragner Omtvedt, of Chicago, won the fourth annual national ski meet held under the auspices of the Mivwaukee Ski Club here today, jumping 136 and 139 feet for a total of 306 2-3 points, breaking the previous record on the slide, which was 134 feet established by Andres Haugen, of Milwaukee, two years ago. Although Colgate college has offered Larry Bankart a high salaried con- tract to return to Colgate next season, Larry refuses to hearken to the call Some insinuate that Bankart is strong for Dartmouth and is turning longing eyes Hanover way in spite of the re- port that he intends to go into busi- ness. Harvard will work a night shift for its track candidates in the months to come in an effort to bolster the strength of the fleld event division. A new lighting system has been arranged in the baseball cagze on Soldiers’ field and candidates for the broad jump, shot put and pole vault will have af- ternoon and evening practice during the months of winter and early spring. The greatest gathering of “Y” men n the history of Yale is planned for the evening of Jan. 19.

New York, Jan. 13.—The most in- teresting event of the day in the finan- cial district, publication of the weekly bank statement, showing an actual cash gain by local banks of over $60,- 000,000, did not develop until after the close of an exceedingly dull and mean- ingless session of the stock market.

Chicago, Jan. 14—A letter setting forth the views of David L. Fultz, the president of the Baseball Plavers Fra- ternity, in regard to calling a general strike, is to be read at a meeting of ball players to be held here Tuesd night, Al Demaree, a_member of the Philadelphia National League club, an- nounced today. Demaree said, ho ever, he could give no hint as to the contents of Fultz's letter. Demaree is- sued the call for the meeting at the request of President Fultz and has appealed to major leazue players re- siding in and near Chicago. Demaree declared that 19 out of ev- ery 20 players in the National League are members of the fraternity and that if Fultz called a strike every member would join in a walkout. “The fraternity members are back of Fultz,” he said. “They believe Fultz, notwithstanding reports to the contrary.” “Bobby’ Americans, Roth of the Cleveland a member of the frater- nity, does not rezard the prosnerous strike movement seriously. Roth said tonight that although he had not sign- ed his 1917 contract with the Cleveland club he expected to do so as quickly as he could come to terms with the president of the club. “Striking is the last thing I would think of,” Roth said. “I admit that I am unwilling to sign the contract sent me but I am not being guided by .Fultz's orders not .to sign until he gives his consent.” President Johnson of the American League, who departed today for New York, said his trin was not in any way connected with the threat of Fuitz to call a strike. Johnson said he was going east to mee: members of the National League scheduls com- mittee and arrange schedules for the coming season. HAUGHTON CRITICIZES STAND TAKEN BY PLAYERS' FRAT. Believes Present Situation Will Cause Slight Annoyance. Boston, Jan. 14—Percy D. Haughton, president of the Boston Natlonal League baseball club, issued a state- ment tonight criticizing the Baseball Players Fraternity in requesting its members to withhold their smsnatures from major league contracts until the fraternity’s troubles with the minor leagues have been adjusted. o _major league club owner,” he said, “believes the present situation ; | will result more seriously for the ma- jor leagues than temporary annoy- ance, No major league.club owner,” he said, “believes the present situation will result more seriously for the ma- jor leagues than temporary annoyance. “The fraternity’s srievance is mnot with major league clubs nor with the national commission, but with the Na- tional Asscciation of Minor Leagues and its national board.

New York, Jan. 14.—Athletics would be greatly stimulated throughout the country if the “daylight saving” plan were adopted, according to a_state- ment here tonight by Fred W. Rubien, =mecretary treasurer of the Amateur Athletic’ Union. “Under present working hours,” said Mr. Rubien, “thousands of youths who have latent athletic ability are de- prived of the opportunity of exercis- ing in the sunlight. Their day’s work is finished too late for them to get out on the track and practice before it is dark. But by ending their day's work an hour earlier by the sun, the chance to train in the daytime would be theirs. “Those sixty minutes of sunlight on the links, tennis courts and at the ball game and the seashore, too, should result in a craze for outdoor diver- sions sweeping the country. And once the public as a whole takes up outdoor exercise in the sunlight, at that time you will see a material development in the physical well-being of the people.” Mr. Rubien said he expected to at- tend the National Daylizsht Saving Convention to be held in this city Jan- uary 80 and 31 and “endorse the move. ment from the health standpoint.” ALL-AMERICAN TRACK AND FIELD TEAMS 100 Koty § Tire 2400 K. i 5% 1$5.35@14.

One of the most difficult posi- tions to select is the name of the man to head the list for the 100 yards run. My selections are Loomis for the “100” and Ward the “220". Ward was the sprinting sensation of the vear, winning both the “100” and “220” at the national championships. Loomis proved to be the fastest in- Goor sprinter durin gthe winter, win- ning the national championship at 60 yards in the record time of 6 2-5 seconds. During the summer, his high jumping and broad jumping slowed him a trifle, but after his de- feat in the national 100, he won the N. Y. A.
