| Show 3 pot 1 0 orew new york tork post service lc terry and cochrane are facing crisis in baseball jobs bill terry and DB L mickey lickey cochrane now are in the midst of 0 what higher class writers might term a crisis aside from their spot efforts to keep crippled and hard luck teams in the first division they also are undergoing tests which may determine whether it is worthwhile for or them to cor cornue nue in baseball because each of them won a world championship early in his managerial career and so immediate r s ly was acclaimed as one of the greatest of all time pilots this view may require a bit of explaining pla ining it involves 1004 putting the reverse on that old dont do as I 1 do but as I 1 say bit of philosophy 01 by which the youth of the nation once was entertained terry terry possibly was the best first baseman who ever played the game and cochrane holds similar high rating among the catchers they took over their managers jobs while still able to perform in sprightly fashion they starred in their own right while their example undoubtedly inspired lesser teammates to reach hitherto and since then of heights now when they are sorely tried by an assortment of the ailments which inevitably take toll of aging athletes things do not add up the same Re beibers ibers Aly atts lesliea and such folk are hired men ot of average worth but they simply do not possess the spark that makes terrys and cochranes cochranee Coch ranes so as has been a apparent all season the two mangers managers a immediately are beset by P problems even more vexing than thyroid sor sciatica while attempt ing in to readjust their baseball lives it 11 the law of averages operated properly there could be some compensation pensa tion for ar all this blood streams which formerly had to do double duty while generating both base blows and strategy could be entirely at the service of deep thinking in place of the line drives which once encouraged their championship pion ship ambitions the tigers and the th e giants could be inspired by daily strokes of managerial genius this of course would indicate a most sublime future but unfortunately neither nor has much influence with the law of averages both BW bill and mickey are men of action they seem to function b best est mentally as wey we as physically while on their feet in the in midst ast dst oi of heated action probably a proper op of his own muscular possibilities has inspired each of these managers as much as it has inspired his followers undoubtedly this has been true of t terry during the past two years without attempting to second guess IL a guy who has been trying hard in the midst of severe handicaps handi i caps most fans are aware that h he e is a far better manager when play ang than when spending an afternoon in the dugout tiu gout less opportunity has been provided for judging cochrane as a dugout executive yet it is possible that the future may be even harder on him than on T terry erry mickey is an intensely nervous type in some ways resembling ty cobb who failed as a manager at least once during each of his best playing play i ng mickey agars yea when he cochrane could release pent up emotions through direct actions he came close to just such a breakdown as finally overtook him this season he also is excessively irked by players who cannot comport themselves according to his own high athletic standards during one inning at yankee stadium recently I 1 watched him ile he made six trips from one end of the dugout to the other ile he kneeled in front of the dugout five times ue ile sat down and immediately arose eight times there you have the question tor for the future will cochrane wear himself out of the majors with worrying will terry achieve the same results
