The fact that the big sports figure may make more in a week than the average person does in a year is seemingly beside the point It was a black mark against base ball, according to calamity bowlers. that Babe Ruth wasn't given a manager's Job when he retired. He was the game's most colorful figure. packing the stands wherever be appeared and giving the best years of bis life to the diamond wars. Kuth was 'the highest paid baseball play er In history, signing contracts at a top price of 180,000 per year. That total didn't include income on royal- ties and syndicated newspaper stories. Yet Ruth's failure to find an executive position caused wide spread walling. Unsung Heroes Overlooked Is the fact that each year a lot of fast, smart ballplayers go by the boards. They, too, have devoted their best years to the game, but when the final day rolls around they cast an agonized eye over the bank book and wonder where they're going to open a filling station or lunch counter. They did a lot for the game, but they weren't heroes. There seems to be some good reason why great baseball stars aren't usually picked when managers are appointed. Some of them have, such as Tris Speaker, Cobb and Walter Johnson. But they didn't last. The most successful managers seem to be these men who were good play ers, but not great ones. Connie Mack, the most widely known, was once a catcher and a good one. But experts don't- rate him with Kling, Bresnahan and Archer. Oscsr Vitt, Cleveland manager. was formerly a major league Infield- er. He isn't remembered for bis outstanding ability as a player. Rather he was a reliable performer who played a steady game. So was Fred Haney, manager of the Browns, also a former infielder. Joe McCarthy, the most successful manager in baseball, could never make the grade as a big-leag- player. A second baseman, McCar thy's fame as a player never spread past the minors and his ability was com petition. never tested in big-tim- . e Success Stories Casey Stengel and Jimmy Dykes were better than the average ball player in their best years, but neither of them were world beaters. Since they shed their uniforms they've been doing better than ail right Del Baker of the Tigers was a catcher In his day, but didn't do so well In the majors. That didn't prohibit him from becoming a good manager. With so many players of kverage ability making the grade as managers, it seems more than coincidence that the stars fail in an executive capacity. It seems, though, s waste of sympathy to shed tears over a great man whose playing career is drawing to a close. He has made money, has a host of friends and admirers and has led the kind of an existence he wanted. Because baseball doesn't offer him a manager's Job it doesn't mean that d moguls of the game are wretches, casting off a man when his usefulness is over. A man may bo a great ball player, but lack the essential qualifications of a good hard-hearte- manager.
