e' It's reasonably simple to understand why
great players, in baseball and hockey, don't
always make the best coaches, or managers.
whatever they happen to be termed.
This was a thought that occurred to me
after Rogers Hornsey was deposed as pilot
of St. Louis Browns baseball. team, Hornsby,
a great player and grim fighter in his day, lost a lot of managerial
jobs, just as other great players have lost them. Just. as Ty Cobb
failed as a manager of other baseball teams, just as Edouard
Newsy Lalonde, one of the smartest of all hockey players, failed
lin the role of hockey manager after many attempts, three of them
with major teams.
A11 three of these bad something in common. They had only
one idea, to win the games in which their teams played. But
they couldn't last, as managers, because all. of them were in-
tolerant of players who. couldn't measure up to their own stand-
ards. The Rajah, less fiery and impatient than Cab, could, and
did, handle the assignment better than Ty. Lalonde, a great
stylist, one of the very few who scored nine goals in a major
professional hockey game, and led scorers in no less than three
major leagues at various times—Pacific Coast, National League
and National Association—failed as manager of New York
Americans, Ottawa Senators and Montreal Canndicns because he
was dedicated to winning hockey games, impatient of failure or
defeat, Lalonde couldn't understand a professional hockey player
wanting to divert from strict routine of training even at Christ-
mas, When he was piloting Americans, a player insisted on going
home for Christmas. Stormy words developed, and Lalonde
scornfully punched the player in the eye.
Jack Dempsey never made a great fistic manager, though he
tried it. I happened to be placed very close to the Baer corner, the
night Max the Clown, entering the ring a -tremble, his face ashen,
faced Joe Louis, then at his peak. Dempsey was seconding Baer,
believed him to be still a great fighter. It quickly became plain
Baer wasn't going to take any more punishment than necessary.
He was counted. -out, resting on one knee. Said Dempsey in the
amazed tone of one who couldn't understand what he was look-
ing at: "He's quitting—Baer's quitting."
Dempsey walked away from the ringside in a 'bewildered.
:rage, still muttering angrily: "He quit. Can you imagine that:
He quit." The game Mauler, who came back to win after taking
a classically -savage beating from Jack Sharkey, hist couldn't
understand a fighter quitting.
Hornsby, Cobb, Lalonde, Dempsey, they were all cut in the
same pattern, cast in the same Mould. They couldn't understand
anything less than perfection. At least, they expected profes-
sional athletes to go all-out, fighting to the bitter end, because
that was the only way they understood any one playing the game
in which they had shone.

Jerome Herman Dean may pot
have been the greatest pitcher that
over operated from a mound, al-
though it would be hard to name
more than three or four who could
bave topped him when he was at
his best. But there, was one thing,
ha which he excelled all others —
furnishing interesting copy for
hard-working (1) sports writers.
What's more, the Dizzy one is still
doing it, as witness his latest pro-
nouncements on the facts of life.
* * *
"The present day ball player,"
says Dizzy Dean, "doesn't spend
enough time minding his own bus-
iness.
"Bali players and their clubs
would be a heap better off these
days if they'd spend less time
watching the scoreboard and more
time working on their own ball
game," said one of the great pitch-
ers of modern times, now a game -
of -the -day broadcaster on a nation
wide hookup. "Never mind what
the other club's doing. Just win
your own game and the future will
take care of itself.
* * *
"I can't forget several years ago
when I was pitching for the
Chicago Cubs," Dean continued.
"We were going along in fourth
place, with the Pittsburgh ,Pirates
leading. It looked like the Pirates
would walk in without much
trouble. So we got to figuring we
had a chance to finish second and
get a good slice of the first di-
vision money.
* * *
"Well, we kept figuring on that
second spot," Dizzy said, smiling
"J, remember we were playing the
Giants in a series and the Pirates
were playing the Dodgers, so we
rooted like anything for Pittsburgh,
because Brooklyn -was also eyeing
second place. 11 never occurred to
us that we shouldn't be rooting for
the league :leaders
"Well, a couple of weeks later
we ran smack -up against the
Pirates and someone happened to
notice that ..we -were just eight
games out of first place," the big
one-time mound ace went on. "We
were playing the Pirates four
games, so if we could sweep the
series, we'd be only four games
out. We swept it, and went on to
win the pennant. That was the year
Gabby Hartnett'c home run won it
for us."
e.
* * *
A newspaperman told Dean that
every writer in the Wrigley Field
press box seemed to be rooting for
him the day he pitched against the
Yankees in the World Series. He
was about through with the Cubs
then and had little more than
courage with which to battle the
American League champs, who
finally beat him.
* * *
"I'll never forget that one," Dean
said, nodding. "I should have come
out if there long before I did. I
didn't have a thing, But we were
leading and Hartnett didn't want
to take me out. If someone else
went in and was beaten, they al-
ways would have said Gabby
should have left Diz in. It was just
a fast ball, right down the middle,
that Crosetti hit for his home run,
the beginning of the end for me. I
was in a hole ancle had to throw it
in there. He had hit me hard all
day."
Window Breaker Braked—With five broken windows to her credit,
Deborah looks wistfully at a freshly glazed pone, possibly trying
to figure o way to get at it without hurting her footsies. In order
to break Deborah of climbing on the sill and then pushing out the
glass, her owners, the Rev. and Mrs..Worman lined the sill with
mouse traps. As yet the glass -smashing pooch hasn't figured a
way *0 circumvent the traps.

"Yes,' Dizzy said, smiling broad-
ly again. "We did all right. We'd
like to be able to start all over
again now, too. We'd win 40 games
a, year in these times. The majors
arc full of 'rinkedink.' hitters. That's
the big fault -with today's pitcher.
He fools around too much. All he
has to do is throw strikes. There
are only half a Om—al—litters around
Who can hurt him"
M * s4
7ht big fellow laughed, then
went on: "I remember one day my
,brother Paul was pitching against
the Phillies. The Phillies in those
days bad O'Dotl1, Klein and those
other great hitters, We'd beat them
18 to 17 and scores like that.
* * *
"Well, this day Paul was getting
bit pretty hard, so 1 yelled from
t1be bench, "You'd better rope your-
self to the mound, or they'll drive
you out of the park 1" Dizz said.
"So when he came :into the ben&
he tossed his glove in my lap and
said, 'If you think you can do any
better, go ahead.' Then he went into
the clubhouse and took a shower.
There wasn't anything else Frankie
Frisch, our manager, could do. He
just walked out to the plate and
told the umpire the other brother
was pitching.
* * *
"That Frisch 1" Dizay said,
laughing again. "What a time he
had handling us Cardinals. He liked
me, though. Things wo'u'ld be get- -
ting hot and he'd get up and start
walking along the front of the
bench. He'd pretend he was looking
for somebody else, but I knew he
wanted 'Old Diz.' So in I'd go."
He paused for a moment, then add-
ed: "Yes, fine and Paul ~would win
80 games between us today."
DENISTRY
Billy Rose tells of the night Hou-
dini first introduced the trick of
putting a dozen needles and a piece
of thread into his mouth, and then
producing them all neatly threaded.
"I want a gentleman in the audi-
ence," he announced, "to examine
the needles and thread, and then
look into my mouth to make sure
nothing is concealed there." An
elderly little man climbed up to the
stage, and peered intently into
Houdini's bridgework. "Well," said
Houdini finally, "don't just stand
there. Tell the audience what you
see."
The little man said, "Pyorrhea."

'She newest form of entertain-
ment, TV-, has begun to provide the
law with an extra eye. If it hadn't
been for television, several crdoks
now .paying the penalty for their
misdeeds might still be free.
A suspected murder has been
captured with the aid of television.
Last year, a New York policeman
was shot by a loan driving a
stolen t r u c k. Immediately the
authorities arranged for a picture
of the "hot" vehicle to be televised
by five stations.
At once a viewer got in touch
with the police. He was sure he
had seen the truck passing through
his district. He proved to be right.
Matthew L. Armer, aged thirty-
two, was caught at a farm about
ten miles from Albany, and was
charged with the murder of the
police officer.
An American sneak -thief attend-
ing a baseball game this year was
certain iso one had noticed him at
his tricks. He -was more than sur-
prised to be arrested.
The game was being televised
and.,. to vas spotted picking a.
spectator's packet 1
It was what shouldn't have been
• on the screen that led to the smart
capture of two British crooks.
While Alec Miles, who has a farm
at Frittenden, Kent, was watching
a program, the screen became
streaky. He was sure it meant a
car was near his hen run. His
hunch was right and he caught a
poultry thief.
Something similar happened at
Leeds early this year. James Tom-
linson became very annoyed with
the way his viewing was being
spoilt by interference on the screen,
so he went outside the house to
see what was causing it. It was his
father's van, being moved by an
unauthorized person. He caught
the man, who was later fined for
taking the vehicle without the
owner's consent.
A man who underestimated the
extent to which television has
spread is twenty -two-year-old Colin
Groundwater, of South Kensing-
ton. He ought not to have made
such a mistake, because when he
appeared in court a w'onlan detec-
tive constable said that he bad
been trying to make a living by
writing film and television scripts.
His arrest came after wide-
awake officials of the National
Bank of Scotland informed the
police that they had seen him on
the television program, "What's
My Line?" In this he was supposed
to he a frogman from the Orkneys.
At the London Sessions on May
14th., Groundwater pleaded guilty
to obtaining a motor -car valued at
£1,275, and two sums of £5 as a
result of presenting worthless
cheques: IIe had previously claimed
that he possessed an account at
the Kirkwall branch of the Nation-
al Bank of Scotland. Now be con-
fessed that it had never existed.
His sentence was fifteen months in
jail,
