HANK GOWDY
' RESIGNS AS
cwli MANAGER
MILWAUKEE. June 11,—George
hicQulllnn. former major league
pitcher. yesterday was appointed
manager of the Columbus club of
the American Association. succeed-
ing Hank Gowdy.
By BILLY EVANS.
“Bill Gleason did it."
That Is what Connie Mack tells
you when the sensational pitching
of Southpaw “Lefty" Grove comes
up for discussion.
Connie invariably refers to "Kid"
Gleason as Bill, for lie is strong for
propriety in all things and "Kid” is
a. trifle slangy. Says Connie:
“Gleason gave Grove the confi-
dence he needed. made several slight
changes in his style and now he np.‘
pears all set for a big year.
“I have had under my manage.
ment two of the greatest loft-hand-
ers in the history of the game.
‘Rube’ Weddell and Eddie Plank:
looks as if I have a third one in
Grove."
worthwhile thing for the rest of the
year. he has already earned his ml.
ury in the transformation of Grow.
incidentally this stuff that has
[won printed about there being it
rift between Mack and Gleason is
the purest bunk. Connie has the
'grcatest respect in the world for
Gleason's Judgement and the players
are strong for him. They couldn't
be otherwise because he is one of
the finest characters in tile game.
Make Ideal Combine.
On the bench Mack supplies the
direction of play while Gleason im-
parts the enthusiasm and encour-
“ngement. They make an ideal com.
blnation.
when I talked with Gleason about
Grove. he "pooh-poohed” the idea
that. he was in any way responsible
for the southpaw's great“wor of
COLUMBUS. 0.. June 11.——Hsnk
Gowdy. succeeded by George Mc-
Qulllan yesterday as manager of the
Columbus A m e r i c a n Association
team. took over the Senators this
spring. For years the team had
floundered in the cellar. anl every
one expected Gowdy. who was born
and reared here, 'to pull the team
out of the hole.
.The Senators, hchver, have made
ths sorriest showing so far in the
history of the association. They
have won ten games and lost forty.
It was asserted here that part of
the trouble lay in the fact that the
material was poor. The pitching
staff .cspecially. was declared to bd
negligible.
Gowdy graduated from the Co.
lumbus sandlots to semioprofcssion-
_ actors attractive to exhibi-
ai, then big league baseball. So if Gleason falls to do another this spring. ‘

Brogan went down south at the

He will probably be used as gen-

The bluff hunt, a play much used
when I broke into the American
League. but now rather obsolete.
tests not only the mechanical play
of a third baseman but his thinking
apparatus as well.
When Ty Cobb was in his prime
he used to pull this play often. hav-
ing the better work with him in
confusing the infielder.
The play is best worked. of course.
when least expected. We will say
Cobb is on second. or any other
good baserunner. Max Carey for in-
stance. and there is none or one out.
With the pitch. the runner on sec-
ond starts'for third. If the third
baseman dashes in, figuring to get
a. bunt. tho batsman merely bluffs.
purposely missing the ball but go.
ing through all the motions to be-
fuddie the catcher.
Properly pulled. the runner steals
third practically uninolested. as it is
physicvally impossible for the third
baseman to retrace his steps to the
bag and be in any position to put a
throw on the runnc.~ ‘
In like manner. it the third base-
man decides to cover. hoping to re-
tire tho runner trying to steal third.
it is up to the batsman to shift from
the bluff to an soul-11 attempt to
hunt
If the batsman is fortunate enough
to get the ball fats down the first
base line. there is hardly a chance
of retiring anybody on the play.
There is no chance for the custo-
dian of the bag who is covering. to
make a play on the ball and it is
asking almost too much of the
pitcher to get over and get the man
at first.
Thus the play has double possi-
bilities that are put up to the bus-
rnan's judgment-The third baseman
is constantly in hot water trying to
guess what is actually going to
happen.
