‘ MANY PILOTS
Red Sox Pitcher _
Served Under 25
Managers D u r i n g
Big League Career
BOSTON. Feb. 19.—“.\ly 25 years
of managers." is to be suggested in
the title of a mighty interesting
story that Jack Quinn. that vener-
able rubber-armed pitcher the Red
Sox are so fortunate to have on the
roster. could write if he were in-
clined towards the literary. \tht
there is about managers that Quinn
doesn't know after having served
under 21 of those birds to date just
simply isn‘t and that”: positive.
"But it isn't the manager. it’s the
ball player that really counts." says
Jack. "It doesn't matter what or
who the manager is. if the player
has the goods. he's bound to show
.it."
One thing sure is that Quinn cer-
tainly didn't give any sign during
the 1923 season that he had spent
so- many years in baseball us he
has. \Vhile his record last year
wasn't wonderfully impressive. it
wasn't altogether his fault. His
mtching was good enough to earn
him a. regular job on any pitching
staff. .
Though he has gone through
more than two-score years of best:-
liall. Quinn hasn't reached his 40th
birthday yet. NOr has he reacled
the stage yes where he is thinking
of quittlng the diamond. At present
Jack is at Hot Springs boiling out
in those radio-active baths that
Ozark resort is famed for. He is
undergoing the boiling out stunt for
the more reason that he looted last
winter, something he doesn’t or-
dinarily do. "
Quinn was asked for a. list of the
many managers he has had since he
started playing league baseball. He
sent on the list but be neglected—
perhaps after due consideration—to
give the years in which he was un-
der each mentor.
He started at Dunbar. Penn. with

NEW’ YORK. Feb. 19.—-It takes a
Sherlick Holmes to go to the the
bottom of the machinations of box-
ing managers and promoters then:
years.
Negotiations for a return match
between Mike McTigue. light heavy-
weight champion of the world. and
Young Stribling. the Georgia school-
boy to whom many critics awarded
the verdict in their‘first bout. des-S
pite theretoree's decision. shows a
case in point.
Paddy Mullins. manager of the
champion. has stated that he . ‘
agreed to have Mc'l‘igue meet St '-
ling in Newark the latter part of
March or the first part of April.
Pa Stribllng in dispatches from the
South says the match is made. The
Newark promoters declare the
match has little chance of being
made and declare that the elder
Strlbling will be in Newark Tuesday
only to em: terms. Some time ago
it was understood that Stribling
would give one of his legs for the:
opportunity to get another match
with McTigu‘e. especially in the met-
ropolitan district. Yet there seems to
be doubt about the match from the
promoters’ standpoint. though Mc-
Tigue's manager says terms have
been agreed upon‘ at least by him.
.\'ew York promoters have tried in
vain to have an exception made‘ an
Stribling‘s case so that he can box
more than six rounds. New Jersey.
therefore. alone is left open to him
for bouts in which New Yorkers
can see him. Father Knickerbocker‘s
boxing club owners cannot _-ay the
price asked for six round events.
