Mack how the game yesterday came

Charlotte is not discouraged at all
over the, two defeats in Winston of
the Electricians. Don't you remem
ber that Charlotte defeated the Twins
twice and Anderson did the very same
thing to Charlotte.
We are not knocking at all, but
really we are glad that the Carolina

J. McGraw; Philadelphia, W. J. Mur
ray: Boston, Joe Kelly; Brooklyn, P.
J. Donovan; St. Louis, J. J. McClos
key. .
Managers who played the game in
the National League: Chicago. Frank
Chance; Pittsburg, Fred Clarke; Cin
cinnati, John Ganzell. J
These figures, if you will study them
closely, have two tales to tell. For
instance. Frank Chance, who man
aged the Cubs last season, was in
the game for his team, while Hugh
Jennings, for the Detroit Tigers, the
champions for two seasons of the
American League, confined himself to
the bench and the coach line. (Ever
seen a picture of Hughey on the coach
line?) If you want to argue about
It. although Chance did defeat Jen
nings for the ; world's championship
again last fall,-the manager's side of
the case might be upheld by the point
that Jennings selected. a team which
he could command from the bench
and the coach line, while Chance may
not have been so fortunat (And
while we are at it let's not forget that
Connie Mack doesn't hurt himself
playing,, either? You know, since
Mack picked Barre and Jackson, fans
in this league believe that he is a
powerful manager). -
All of this at least goes a part of
the way in showing that the man
ager of a team is not a bad manager
if he succeeds in getting men "whom
he can direct from the bench and the
coach line. And as said at the be
ginning, there must-' be a cftrtain
sameness about all baseball players, f
What is true in Detroit and Philadel
phla, must -be true to some extent In
the Carolina League. If not, why
were Barre and Jackson selected "by
Connie Mack, and why, as Hugh Jen
nings says, is Ty Cobb, a youngster
Dorn in the cane brakes of Georgia,
not far from Charlotte, the world's
most phenomenal ball player?
And Hugh Jennings and Connie
Mack direct their teams from the
bench and the coach line!
Now, all of i this, . scrambling back
from the longi shot we have taken to
Detroit and Philadelphia via Roys
ton, Ga., and Greenville, S. C, to
Charlotte, where nestle the Hornets,
is meant to be encouraging, because
the weedlng-out process is yet to take
place. After that time expires, how
ever, there ought not to be any ex
cuses offered by the fans if Charlotte
has a losing team and this is not to
imply a pennant-winning team. Who
shall be responsible but the manager
and who, realizes his responsibility
better than he? If he has a winning
team nis win be the praise; if he has
a team that loses ridiculously, his
fault it will be.
It makes no difference to the sensi
ble fan whether the manager plays or
not, so long as he decides upon the
material whom'he can direct without
friction.
Manager Collins has yet a few days
in .which to make tne proper selec
tions. Although the team is now in the
cellar, the loyal fans, and there are
a -few not yet dead, believe that he
will be in a position to . cope with
the other aggregations ' in the league
before the "regulation" number is
decided upon.
It's up to Manager Collins, as it , is
with Tommie Stouch, Pop McKevitt,
Kelly, Beusser and Bob Carter.
- If Manager Collins falls down, and
those who know him believe that he
will not. the Charlotte fans won't
be:to blame "
To Spartanburg et al: , We can't
deny that you are lookingydown on
us,' but we want to warn you right
here and now that the cellar door
has been left open. You will recall
that we shut the door behind us after
a certain stage in the game last season.
The - expansion of Spartnaburg's
nostrils, upon getting out of the cel
lar into the open air, must be almost
like a fellow who has been asphyx
iated. . The Hornets, you remember,
swallowed gas almost the entire sea
son last year.
If the fans generally, and the fans,
you know, support a team, say that
the manager ought to be held re
sponsible for every player in his ag
gregation let's not knock until the
manager proves capable of managing
things. - Let him be the judge of the
weeding out process. If he's wrong,
then knock.
People in their first and second
childhood have to- be petted. We are
willing to make a .wager right at
this present moment that Winston
and Greensboro can be led to believe
that both teams can win the pen
nant. For proof of this tell the
Twins that their fathers chewed to
bacco . (as the Twins now do) even
before they were born, and then let
the Patriots know (or rather make
them believe in their descrepltude)
that their brothers fought in the war
of 1812 and the last one of them (Pop
McKevitt and all) will begin to swear
and dye their . hair.
