The present baseball season tins fur-
nished many surprises and disappoint-
ments in the work of the pitchers
Many of Isst season's stars have
failed to display the form that car-
ried them and their teams to the front
last year. There have been two nota-
ble cusos of stars of years ago com-
ing to their own again, .lack Coombs,
formerly of tho Athletics and now
pitching winning ball for Brooklyn,
and Joe Wood of the Boston Ameri-
cans. who Is pitching with the same
effectiveness he dill in 1912. after hav-
ing experienced two poor seasons.
Further than this, more youngsters
huvo made good this season than In
almost any two previous seasons com-
bined.

WHITE MAKES GOOD MANAGER

By President Maier.
N'o one ever will bo able to tnke the
place Hup llegau held In tho hearts
of Coast league fans, liogaii had a
peculiar part to play that none can
ei|ual. Hut Doc White, who succeed-
ed to the leadership of tho Venice
team upon the death of Slogan, seems
likely to win a place all his own, as
peculiar to himself as was that Ho-
gan held. With the Venice playeri
grief trieken and disorganised follow-
ing II nan's death, Whitotook hold, got
them to hold their heads up again, and
is making them play winning ball.
Dec's days as a pitcher may be over,
but lie lias fofmd his fnrto, ns mana-
ge r, and is proving a most capable
leader and one withal who Is as popu-
lar us he is talented.
