NO MORE PLAYING LEADERS.
All Big League Pilots Are Bench
Managers Now.
When Charley Herzog laid down the
reins and ceased to guide the destinies
of the Cincinnati Iteds the last of I he
playing managers passed front the big
leagues. It would seem that their day
is done. Fetv indeed are the men who
can bear the double burden of guiding
a team and playing every day as well.
And so it Inis come to pass that bench
managers have the call and doubtless
will continue to hold favor. The time

GOULD SMALLEST TWIRLER.
Cleveland Indians’ Young Pitcher le
Making Good.
H Is the opinion of Manager Bee
I'oh I of the Cleveland < lub that Jay
Gould, the young pitcher secured by
the Indians this summer from the
Three Eye league, lias proved one of
the happiest finds of the season.
Though lie has been with the Indians
only a short time, Gould has al
ready won u place ns a regular.
Brought up at a time when the club
was In need of pitchers, Gould showed
at I be very outset that he could con
tend with big leaguers, and be did
much to keep the Indians tu the race ~
while Morton and Klepfer were un ■
able to take their turns.
Gould Is the smallest pitcher on the *
American league, a distinction that be
longed to Wolfgang of Clffcago. But
for bis size Gould would probably have *
been sent up before. Scouts from both f
big leagues have looked him over, as
be was a steady winner In the minors *
He was the object of much observation
Iasi season and for a time this year,
but most of the scouts passed on him
because of bis size.
