FULLERTON. Here are two teams in rival leagues opening the season under strangely similar circumstances, and with the similarity extending to their chances of victory. Each team has a new manager each team in the past has been hampered by inef fective management or interference with that manager. Each team is remade from last year in vital respects; each team for the first time in many, years has serious championship aspira tions and hopes that may come through if the management can extract the best efforts from the earns. Jack Hendricks, the new Cardinal manager, makes his debut, taking the place of Miller Huggiifs, promoted to New York. Hendricks is, and has been for many years, a great man ager, a manager of men, a student of the game, a master in field strategy. Huggins has risen from the ranks of the common players. He became a manager almost throueh accident, and for two seasons handicapped himself and his team by failing to drop the player viewpoint and take that of the manager. Perhaps he figured that his position was temporary. But with each saason he has improved. Last season, with makeshift material, he accomplished wonders by his own resourcefulness. This season he has a wealth of material a great team that has been badly handled. He has men who are hard to handle. Last year little was expected of him and he did much. . This year, perhaps, too much is expected of Jam..-'- THE NEW YORK AMERICANS. O " Lest to Military Service, 4. Liable to Conscription, 2. "Last year the American league feared New York more even than it did Chicago or Boston. The 'team was strong. The dopesteri had to deduct from its strength because of the management. Donovan had not proved a success and there were those 'on the team who took advantage of his easy nature. Some of his "friends" imposed on his good nature until they lost him the management. The owners set about getting a new manager and got Miller Huggins. I have known and been personally in terested in Huggins ever since he was a kid long before he ever aspired to play major lague ball, and I wish him. well, but the fact remains that the only basis of a hiring him to manage the Yanks is that he did well with the Cards last season. There are some on the Yank team who are, hard men to manage; not bad men, but players who have had their own way so long they want to keep on running things to suit them selves. There is not a doubt but that I Huggins is a capable field leader, a well liked man, and that he has learned to manage men. The ques tion is whether he can get good work out of players spoiled by flattery and by being pampered in the face of the insidious knocking' and undermining that goes on in the New York club most of the time; .can resist the power of outside interference and handle the club to suit himself. Sneers at Huggins. It is a tough proposition. AJready there have been voiced some neat knocks and sneers at Huggins. He has a fight 'on his hands,' but if he can get the besjt out of the ball club he has a big fighting chance to bat tle the Giants for the championship of the world next fall and : make the series a New York monopoly. The team was hit fairly hard by the war. Fisher, Smallwood, Kane, and then Pipp but the loss is not vital. The team is a strong and well con structed one. If -you remember its fatal weakness on the field) has been around second base, and securing Pratt ought to correst that. Pratt is a corking ball player and one who ought to be better this season than he ever was. He has a chance to vindi cate himself and to avenge himself on the St.' Louis club. , When we come down to real dope; the 6tudy of figuresman for man, we will see how well constructed this team is and what a lot of strength there is concealed about it. Huggins already has done well. , Gets Derrill Pratt The team has had the strength for two, years, but it never was able to utilize its full strength because too much of it was on the bench and could be used only one man at a time. Huggins made the big deal with the St. Louis Browns a deal which gave St Louis men who chiefly ornamented the New York bench. ' and for this excess and unused strength he got Derrill Pratt . He also got Eddie Plank, but the chances are that this grand veteran is at the end of his wonderful career. Last summer late Flank pitched a wonderful . 14-inning game against Washington. At the finish he came to the bench. - "I'm done," he said clasping his body. "I don't think I ever can pitch again. Every ball I have pitched for two innings was like tearing my abdomen apart." His tremendous effort rakeiT his body, never strong, and he suffered intensely for days. He may try, but if he coes he probably will pitch only a few ball games. , The loss of Tipp will hurt some, but the team is well balanced and well fortified. Very little depends upon Huggpns' selection of the team that will start the season because Huggins shifts his teams fast to meet emergencies.. His , big problem will be in handl'tisc the pitching staff, and inhiu Eddie Plank, even if he never pitches, would earn his salary, THE ST;. LOUIS CARDINALS. In Military Service, 3. Liable to Call. 3. Jack Hendricks has come into his own at last. A major league manager who, tor years Has been managing in the minors, has finally been given his chance. Upon Jack Hendricks depends the success or failure of the St Louis Cardinals. Last season, under Miller Huggins, this team did a lot of sen sational work. At one time they scared the entire league and threatened to slip through to a pennant. And they did that with a team that rated just high enough to have a chance to break into the first division, which lacked consistent pitching strength which was weak in several positions. and which required a lot of managing to keep it going at all. The unexpected hitting strength of Hornsby, Cruise and Smith, of course, gave it a punch that was not suspected at the start of the season, but it got a lot more pitching than anyone. ex pected it to get. Remember that the National league is not strong was not strong last season, and thai, although it is gain ing in strength, it is not yet up to standard. It is a league that is re covering from a lot of afflictions, a league in which some teams have realized that many supposed assets nave provcu naoimies, ana mat are rebuilding on a sounder basis. St LOuis is one-of them. It has dis carded the old and is making a new, virile ball club. " Doak Fails. Last season we naturally expected Doak to be the burden bearer of the team and Doak failed to come through. On the other hand, Pack ard, Horstman, Meadows and the veteran Ames proved consistent averages. Doak pitched a great number of games and was used in the "tough' games. He worked in seven against New York and registered six losses with one win to the Giants. t The pitching staff did all that could have been expected, and it is a cork ing staff to start this season. The team has catching strength, has a big punch, has a fair outfield and a rather uncertain infield, with Hornsby a big factor. During the winter Weeghman, of Chicago, playing grandstand with a huge bankroll, pulled a lot of C Webb Murphy brand of cheap pub licity which may have helped Chi cago, but which certainly hurt St. Louis. He advertised that he was out to buy Hornsby. , That million dollar talk caused Hornsby to be dis satisfied. He evidently took himself at something near Weeghman's stage money estimate. He. became discon tented. Even worse, some , of the other Cards who know just how good Hornsby is, seeing him , over-advertised, became a trifle jealous. - Beyond doubt Weeghman's publicity cam paign in Chicago hurt the Cards and gave Hendricks another, situation to smooth over. This may affect the Cards for a time, but the seriousness of it ha's, in my opinion, been over estimated. Rookies Promise Little. , The team lines up today stronger than it did a year ago. Huggins ex perimented and discovered almost everything excepting a first baseman Miller, never, quite satisfactory, is in military service. . With a little re arranging the club will do. The re el uits did not promise much.- Hendricks is the. big problem.

' Two minutes after the start of the play, Munn, the elongated center of the Lincoln team had batted the ball to Lamb, who tossed it to June- meyer, the Lincoln forward who shot a sensational goal from the center of the field.

From the first day be became a "kid" manager, he showed something and that some thing was a power to command and lead men and to win them to him. Every team he ever has had has been devoted to him because he is square with them, is strong for them and is entirely unprejudiced and impartial. He is a born leader. In my opinion he is a better leader than is Miller Huggins. , v He may have a bad start because he is new to the men and they to him. When they become acquainted with each other the National league will do well to look out for the Cards. He has pulled a lot of that Indianapolis camouflage on the American associa tion and it will work just as well in faster company. t The Cards will bear a lot of watch ing, especially after June 1. .
