MANY CHANGES MADE. Only Three Pilots Left of Those Ten : Years Ago. * New York, March 4.--During the Past 10 seasons there have been many changes fin tne managerial ranks in the major leagues. Some 'managers have lasted only a season "OF two; others a bit longer. Looking over the list of leaders the coming season, oné finds july three who were also included the 1915 group. They are, Me- w and Robinson in the National e and Comnfe Mack in the McGraw has been managing the ts since 1903 and Robison the bklyn Dodgers since 1914. Mack them all, having been leading ihe Athletics from the inception of American League in 1901. Two Answer Final Call. 'Some of the clubs have had pev- eral managers during the last de- while others have seen but one p changes in that stretch.

And he has been ever since, having b right up around the top for several seasons. come Tris Bpeaker and Rickey.

Reds,"world champs, was baseball's greatest hero. Eller was basking in the lime- light that is now bemg turned on Walter Johnson for his great come- back in the final game of the series with the Giants, Today Hod Eller 1s patrolling a beat in Indianopolis, a trusty officer of the law in that fair city. Baseball fame is fieeting and the hero worship that was opce Eller's has entirely faded out. H& 8 no longer a world series hero, just Hod Eller, pitcher for the old home town in the summer, officer of the law in the winter. 5 In the fifth game of the 1919 world series Eller became the out- standing player of tne year by 'a most remarkable exhibition of pitch- ing. Irs Struck Out Nine Men. The big right hander shut out the Chicago White Sox 5-0, allowing only three hits, two of them by Buck Weaver. He struck out nine men. It was in the secona &nd third in- nings of this game that Eller per- formed a feat unequalled by any other world series pitcher, six suc- cessive strikeouts. I was one of the umpires in the 1919 world series and I doubt if I ever saw a pitcher have more stuff on his fast ball than Eller did that afternoon. In making this statement I am not excepting Walter Johnson at his best. Prior to.the series it had been hinted that Eller was a trick pitcher, that he doctored the ball. Since Ci- cotte of the White Sox had the same reputation, the two clubs apparently decided not to argue tne issue. Sm---- Used Only Fast Ball. It might be interesting to know that in striking out six successive batters, Eller didn't use a single curve ball. Every strike was a fast ball that was either struck at and missed or called. If I remember correctly just one ball was fouled by Eddie Collins of the six men who faced Eller. Prior to each' pitch I noticed that Eller would rub the ball across his breast. It was also apparent that he might have something under the shirt of his uniform, as there was a white spot on his left side about the size of a football across which he would draw the ball. I have since heard from National League players that Eller had a por- tion of his shirt saturated with resin and in rubbing the ball over his shirthe drew the ball over the resin prior to each pitch. This enabled him to roughen the ball, get a bet- ter grip on it, causing the ball to take a more deceptive break. Hero of the Hour. I cannot vouch for the authenti- city of such a statemént although some members of the Cincinnati club later told me the story, as well as other National Leaguers. Eller, to cap the climax of the series, pitched the final game, win- ning 10-5." With a nme-run margin he eased up in the eighth inning, Chicago scoring four runs. The brass band welcomed Eller at the station on his weturn to Cincin- nati. He was the hero of the event. That was just five years ago. Now Biller has been forgotten by a ma- jority of big leagus fans. He's just a policeman, but appar- ently a mighty good one. His first time out he assisted in capturing a daring desperado, with just as much ease as he took the Chicago White Sox in 1919. THE NUT CRACKER By Joe Willidms Sn In addition to Mr. Xearns, it may now be said Mr. Dempsey has Estelle to support. 'We suppose Miss Taylor agreed to "| take the champion for better or worse and yet he could hardly be any worse than he was the night he fought Bill Brennan. If Mr. Dempsey is to become a successful Romeo he will have to do more clinching than he usually does in the ring. Mr. Dempsey says this, his second marriage, will be his last....In other words, it is a wind-up bout. Not the least remarkable thing about the wedding was that no jour- nalistic genius used this headline: "Champion Kayoed by Cupid." We don't know whether Mrs. Dempsey can cook or not....It is fairly evident, however, that she has already cooked Harry Wills' goose. Mr. Dempsey says he filly does love to hang around the house.... Especially when the nouse aggre- gates $600,000. Miss Taylor had to get a divorce to get Dempsey....Gibbons and Wills are still wondering what they'll have to do to get him. For the first time in his life Mr. Dempsey appeared for an important engagement without his red sweater and butter-rubbed whiskers. You probably noticed that Firpo was not the best man, ...Indeed, he Was not the best man at a previous affair in which Mr. Dempsey partici- pated. A ROW. FROM THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN | To-night the Ottawa Alerts, ladies' hockey team, takes on the speedy Queen's girls' team in an exhibition game. Although the Alerts won in Ottawa, Marion Sullivan and her team-mates hope to take the. measure of the Ontario champions to-night. Here's wishing the girls the best of luck, anyway. The City Hockey League has finally decided to quit for the season and Secretary Law announces that he will arrange the cheques for the teams and distribute them. None of the clubs will be able to send their teams on long tours with what they get from the cheques, however. Frank Grace, who was to have left two days ago for West Point, got away to-day. Frank is the lacrosse coach at the Point and has done great work with the players since he took charge. The news of the victory of the Grimsby intermediates over the much- touted Soo Greyhounds, champions of the N.O.H.A. was received with de- light by Kingston hockey fans and the stocks of the local intermediate team incidentally went much higher. "We had a darn fine hockey team right here and didn't know it" one fan remarked. Congratulations to the Peach Kings on their victory. Evidently our intermediate O.H.A. is a shade or two faster than what they serve up for senior in the North Country. The O.H.A. wasn't so far out at that when it insisted on the Northern champ- ions meeting the much distained intermediate O.H.A. teams in the Allan Cup series after all. : The bowling craze is going strong and the bowling alleys are crowded all the time. Manager Moran of the Frontenac alleys is very optimistic about the ladies' bowling and states that the improvement shown by them has been remarkable. / min, Arrangements are under way for the playing of a benefit game be- tween Circle Six and R.M.C. Juniors for "Buster" Hartley of the Circle Six Club, who was injured early in the season. If the game is played the fans should respond as heartily to the call as is possible for them to do so. Congratulations to the Kingston Irishmen upon their success in winning the Bay of Quinte championship for the second year in succession and in. cidentally bring the only championship to the city again. Manager Palmer and his team are to be given the hand for their great work during the season. On Monday night next at the Arena the County will be played between Verona and Sunbury. 'The latter won the last game by the score of 4-2 in ten minutes overtime. The final game will draw a mighty big crowd Mo nday night and indications are that the entire hockey crowd of the County will be in to the Arena for this all-important fixture.
