I$y degree tile old Minora, those who
wore connected with tlio gnmo of
lnslull n doendo nnd more ngo, nro
Issl:i out of tho llniollght nnd now
oiifi nro taking their places. Of late
this npppitrs to lmve been tho enso
more tlmn ever before. For tlio pnst
two or threo Heu8ons not u club In ei
ther organization but tins taken tlio
fluid nt the clarion call In the miring
with ninny youngsters occupying
prominent plncos on Its personnel. But
such Is the fnte of tl.e game. It must
be. Tho fans want fast baseball, nnd
If they must have fast ball It fulls
upon tho younger men to furnish It.
The season of 1000 started with more
youngsters In the gnmo than nny other
year that has gone before. Jinny of
tho veterans. It seems, were relegated
to tho Bonip heap nbout the same time,
nnd their places had to bo tilled. Ami
next season promises to rival the pres
ent one for tho record In this respect.
Kver Hhieo the curtain was pulled up
nnd tho Rrentest of athletic drnmns
ntnged tho scouts of tho various clubs
In tho American nnd National leagues
have traveled around tho country with
wenther cyo set nnd cars open trying
to locate now tnlcnt talent good
enough for tho select circles of tho
big circuits. Scarcely a league, oven
though It bo stowed away In some re
mote part of the country, but what
has had n visit from ono or the other
of the hunters for players. And, Judg
ing from tho reports which these Im
portant factors to a team have made
to their employers, the crop has been a
good one. Tho smnller organizations
have uncovered many likely looking
young fellows who next season will
journey to the southland with tho
teams which havo already secured or
will In the near future secure a hold
on thorn for a trial. Some of them, of
course, will be sent back for more sea
soning, but others will find regular
berths, nnd more of tho fnmlllnr aces
will drop from view.
Already the notebooks containing
tho nnmes of plnyers In tho minors
who will bear watching nro nenrly
filled. Tho names of hundreds of play
ers havo been filed nwny therein for
future reference, nnd -while the present
teams nro busily cngnged In battling
for their respective pennnnts the man
ngemonts nre beginning to live in the
future, to bojourn In 1010. It tnkes
competent men to pick out the young
sters senmpering nbout on tho din-
monas of tlio "bush" lengues to "size"
them up correctly. But this portion of
tho work Is ns nothing compnred with
that which fnlls upon tho mnnngcrlnl
shoulders nt tho beginning of the sen
son, when tho Blftlng must begin and
tho chaff must bo got rid of with as
little loss as nosslblo nnd tlio wlmnt
must bo retained for use throughout
another six or seven months.
Just how many youngsters will have
been corralled by tho various teams In
tho big leagues by next spring It would
lie folly to try to estimate, but the
early season returns thus far linvo
boon so great as to Insure n record
breaker in this respect. To dnte the
records show tho American league to
linve been far more active In this re
spect than tho National.

Now that tho teams in the major
baseball leagues havo struck the home

ing as If Detroit would enrry olT the

time, thereby establishing a new rec

though Pittsburg would carry on tho

Interesting question, "Who Is tho
greatest ninnugcr In the two big cir
cuits?" Apropos of this question it might be
Interesting to briefly mention live lead
ing malingers nnd what they linvo done
with their teams. For instance, take
Hugh Jennings of the Detroit Tigers.
There Is no more universal favorite In
baseball than this follow, the leader of
ono of tho most aggressive teams In
either lengue todny. Ho stnnds out ns
one of the grcntest pilots that ever di
rected the affairs of a nine. Ilughle Is
a fighter from tho drop of tho hat nnd
Is never benten till the Inst man is out
That McGraw of New York Is one of
tho brainiest men In baseball cannot
bo denied. Ho knows ns much about
tho gamo as any man living nnd is n
fighter from his feet up. He Is keen to
grnsp n situation, nnd none In the
business can catch the signal of dis
tress ns quickly ns McGrnw. Ills only
wenknoss, Judging by the pnst, Is thnt
ho hns been unable to develop a first
class pitcher.
Few will dispute the statement thnt
as a lender of n team Frank Chnnce
of the Chicago Nationals Is one of tho
greatest that ever lived. His record
Is too well known to bo tnken up here,
but It can be said without fear of con
tradiction thnt It Is duo to his brllllnnt
work ns mnnnger that his team hns
cnrrled off the pennant honor three
times In succession nnd two world's
championships.
Connie Mnclt of the Phllndclphln
Americans Is one of the shrewdest
mnnngers in the business. He is a
student of tho game. Not alone does
he study his own players, but mem
bers of tho other teams as well. Dur
ing tho game Mack Jots down little
notes of the weakness of some batter
or perhaps a mlsplay by his own men
that cosus a rim or two. In the latter
case he will cnll the player's attention

be avoided. Mack is ono of tho great
est developers of youngsters that ever
lived. Nearly every season ho devel
ops one or two stars, men that were
not good enough for other tenms.
Credit must bo handed to Fred Lake,
manager of the Boston Amerlcaus.
This fellow took hold of what appear
ed to bo the joke team of the league
and whipped It Into a splendid plnylug
machine.' Lnko has proved what ho
en n do, and next "season we will henr
from his great collection of youugsters.
Now wo come to Fred CInrke of tho
PIttsburgs, who hns proved himself
ono of tho greatest lenders In baseball
history. Ills achievements for this nnd
last season stand out nbovo those of
Chance, Jennings or McGraw, although
ono would not belittle the efforts of
any of them. But they started out
with tho stars of tho country nt first,
second and third base, made up of
men noted for their slugging qualities
und all around ability. Clarke took n
lot of men who looked no better than
a third or fourth place proposition and
developed them Into a great baseball
machine. Ho is, In the opinion of the
writer, the greatest manager In the
gnmo todny, CInrke has everything a
successful leader needs, no Is a de
veloper of youngsters, a fighter, nnd
no one knows more nbout lnsldo than
docs this same fellow. Besides being a
gruud lender, he Is also one of the
greatest players In the game.
Clarke has been mnnnger of tho
Pittsburg National league team for
nine years, and In thnt tlino tho team
has never finished out of the first dlvl
