Ses i Stove League hatterings: Playing managers, Dave Bancroft. Eddie Collins. BY BILLY EVANS ‘8 it possible for as some a manager and continue to play his pest game? Playing man- agers are greatly In the minority in the major leagues, Dayo Banerott, recently traded to the Boston Na+ tionals by New York, and who has been announced as manager of the Bravos, will be the only playing man: Ager tn the parent organization. In the Amorican, Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker are playing managers, with George Sislor added in case his eyes Have improved enough to enable him to take the field Merely managing a major league ball club is a man-sized Job. There is no question but that the responsibility assumed affects the play of any star who es up the managerial game. r player to bo- ONCE asked Eddie Collins if he had any hankering for a job as Dig league manager. &S Tam able to play up to the big Yeague standard,” ho replied. ever, before I get out of baseball I Would like to try my hand at man- Aging, and would much prefer taking the big leap after my pliying days} are over.

I have seen enough of the managing game to know that there is plenty of woe con- nected with it from the time you get up-in the morning until you retire at night.” Which would make it seem that Collins is not particularly anxious to become a manager. He had one of the best years of his carcer in 1923 and if placed on the qarket would be eagerly sought by every club in the American League. si ia my way of thinking Collins will be a blg success if he ever tikes up the managerial game. Col- lins received ‘his early training at Philadelphia under the master base bal! mind, Connie Mack. His visfon was broadened by contact with the Yeteran Kid Gleason at Chicago, who, Ne'an entirely different t from ck, is a great leader. Collins mows baseball. No big league play er is better versed tals and strategy than he. Collins is a student of the game, the analyst ‘There is always a reason for every} move he makes on the ball field. He is of pl sor of the {deal baseball temperament And should meet with great success when he decides to don the man egerial togs. “The most valuable ball play- er I haye ever seen during my connection with the game. Man- aging a ball club is s pleasant Job with a fellow like Collins in the infield directing the minor details of play over which a bench manager bas no control.” That is the compliment Kid Glea-| son paid Colling one day last sum. mer while we were discussing the! great second sacker of the White Sox. Collins, himself, ia not so sure out his future playing ability. A! r ago when I jested with him eit retiring, he remarked that he FRANK A.
