Strength Which McManu Will Add to Infield AUo Should Reflect in Work of Tiger Hurler. BY HARRY BULLION. SAN ANTONIO, March 8. Pitching problems that are as old as baseball in Detroit confront Manager Moriarty in bis lirep.natioin fr the asuTfiailiing pumaiit rare.

A'btimiiiK' the role of leader cf a major league ball club for the first time, Mi.ri;irty considers mnelf fortunate in having itiheriled a team of the Tigers' potential power. But entlitisiasm that he holds in restraint is somewhat tempered by the uncertainties of the efficiency of the pitching staff. The club will hit, of that there is no danger, and defensively elsewhere it will stand up to a standard guaranteed to satisfy the new Bengal leader. No matter where MtManus is assigned to play the infield will be less vulnerable than beti.rc, which might mean the salvation of the Long Series of Setbacks Culminates in Coaching Michigan to Its First Undisputed Western Conference Basketball Championship.

His lip set a little tighter, the lines of his face grew a trifle grimmer, and he began all over asain. After the 1321 season, he met one rc-versu after another but his optimism stayed. Four yeara of misfortune trailed his efforts until hi? makeshift array of 1926 grew into a team that won game after game after It was first adjudged out of the race.

That triumph. In fact, was arealer than tha present. His cocclnnu genius stood out when he ink a string of reserves and made them fit to cope with the (lr.it strlntera of the championship contenders. This year, the players, with tlia exception of Molenda. resolved to stay eligible anil did.

Instead of a wholesale cut In the sipiad Bt liild-yeiir, the main cons remained. Mather, instead of rebuilding, was able to go ahead with his original plans, a novelty in his experience. Michigan slipped twice along the route, but that was expected. Conference basketball Is too closely contented to expect any team to escape defeat. IT 13 always a question If the coach makes the team or the team makes the coach.

Michigan's answer is that It had the material and the coach and a title came In natural sequence. No mention of tlie team's feats Is made on the campus without Including Mather. Touching is 70 tier cent material, but it takes a coach to make the most of talent, apparent or latent, at his disposal. Mather had the mateiinl nnd made the most of tt. To make the inoet of his materiul Is the true test of a coach In any sport.

Vo J'l. IIKKE'S alwaya a turn In the road tf ona has the patience to keep Kolng until he reaches It," is the philosophy of H. J. Mather, University of Michigan's basketball coach. Without that philosophy, tt Is a question if Mather could have retained his pois under a series of disappointments that began when he assumed coaching duties at Ann Arbor back in 1914.

Hut Mather kept going: and Monday night MIchlffHn'a playera gained their alrna mater's first undisputed western conference basketball championship. That championship was a great personal triumph for Mather. It whs the turn In the road, a turn reached after one chain of misfortunes after anotlmr had ruined his best laid plans and turned his liupea into dust. Mather had kept smii-Init nnd never lost his way. "The boys deserve the credit," hn ol)-servej.

Yet the boys mlaht have failed had It not been for their "skipper." PUIOa TO this season, Mather had material of championship caliber at his disposal. An auspicious start would end In tlie scholastic failure of I. men or injuries that reduced their ettl-cn-ney. Almost every season Mather has had to reconstruct the at mid-year. Reconstruction jw.n costly, liefeats came as a re-isult of necessary experimenting and those defeats separated Michigan from a tit lo.
