Hardcover. Zustand: VG. This might well be titled: "Portrait of a Man Kicked Upstairs." For when the late William Wrigley, in the fall of 1930, released Joe McCarthy as manager of the Cubs in favor of Rogers Hornsby, he unwittingly sent his erstwhile employee to become field marshal of the greatest ball club of our times, the amazing New York Yankees. Last fall Joe McCarthy won his fourth straight World Series as Yankee manager, a record for the game. In nine years at the Yankee helm, the stocky, square-chinned Irishman has won five flags and never lost a World Series. His teams have dropped only three games in 23 starts against the Cubs, Giants and Reds in series play and twice he has had the satisfaction of setting down his old charges, the Bruins, without the loss of a single game. Yankee success has been McCarthy success too, and every so often somebody wants to argue: "Did McCarthy make the Yanks or the Yanks make McCarthy?" Perhaps the best answer to such a query was expressed, one time, by Tony Lazzeri, when he was the Yank second-baseman. Somebody had asked Tony if Joe was tough. "No," grunted the laconic Italian, "but he's the boss all right." Under McCarthy's banner, Babe Ruth played out his string and Lou Gehrig wound up his career. They were the twin back-bones of great Yank clubs, yet the ranks closed up around their holes left by their passing and the team went right on winning. McCarthy or the Yankees? Quite definitely a neat combination of both; a bewildering mixture of values and direction; a production lavishly staged and so shrewdly handled that it functions without a hitch. We remember a day on the Yankee bench when Gehrig, the "Iron Man" snitched a cigaret from our hand and ducked down behind us for a forbidden puff so that Mar'se Joe wouldn't catch him. Not even Gehrig transgressed. There was another day on the bench in St. Petersburg when the Yanks were some two minutes late getting to the park. They were met by a McCarthy ultimatum. "Tomorrow," he snapped, "the bus will leave a half hour earlier. There's a pitcher out there ready and nobody to hit." That was all, but enough. World champions scattered to their posts in a hurry. Yankee teams are as smart, business-like, efficient as the organization which puts 'em together and the most crisply efficient, business-like of all is Pilot McCarthy. He wants hustle, alertness, thinking and he gets 'em or takes steps to weed out those who do not respond. He traded Johnny Alien for Monte Pearson and Ben Chapman for Jake Powell because Alien and Chapman didn't fit into his conception of championship poise and won on both deals. Fellows like 'Bump' Hadley and Oral Hildebrand win for the Yanks when they didn't elsewhere. The paunchy, gum-chewing McCarthy has his own ideas of discipline. They tell a story of a pitcher, still on the club, who one time fancied himself as either over-worked or suffering from a sore arm and who voluntarily withdrew from a steady starting job. He even stayed home a few days, reporting sick. His eventual return was taken without fanfare and, after a few days of wandering around the clubhouse and diamond apparently unnoticed, he sought out McCarthy. "What's the matter?" he wanted to know. "Have I done something? Why don't you pitch me?" McCarthy looked surprised. "Oh, it's you," he commented. "I didn't know you wanted to pitch. I'm glad you told me. You can pitch this afternoon. Sure. Glad to have you." The surprised hurler pitched and won his game. Thereafter he made sure he worked in turn until his next defection when' the same tactics were repeated. Gradually it has been borne upon him that McCarthy has a style of handling men all his own. There has been a decided change for the better in the young man. Long before McCarthfy went to the Yankees, he was a success in Louisville. Next he took a gregarious Cub outfit and built it into a pennant winner in '29, the first Bruin flag since 1918. He has one of the most amazing memories on facts and figures in the game a.
