Text	“There is one piece of base ball legislation that I would like to see rushed through at the next meeting,” said Manager Tom Loftus the other day. “The sooner they give managers the right to go on the field and actively coach the men in their charge the better the game will be off. It is a big handicap to be compelled to sit on the bench and have plays made contrary to what you would order were you in a place where you could make your wants known. A manager is always blamed for his team's misplays. Why not give him a chance to run his team. Then, if anything goes wrong, he can be held responsible. If hope the day will soon come when a manager can go on the coaching liens and there issue his orders. There will then be no chance for mistakes. The game is bound to come to it some day. The League should take the initiative in the matter.
