Jimmie Manning says he will leave base
ball and get out of the game for good.
Mannng's career in base ball has been an
eventful one. 1t began in Fall River,
Mass, where he attracted attention by
his sensa tional playing. In 1885 he was
secured by Watkins for Detroit, where he
staid for year until he broke his arm in
a collision with Jack Rowe. He never was
the same player afterward. He was
in Kansas City for several years, and
when the Southern League of 1892 was
formed he obtained the Birmingham fran
chise and won the pennant for that city.
In 1893 he owned and managed the Savan-
nah team and made many friends in this
city. The next year he sold his franchise
in Savannah and ran the Kansas City
club in the Western League, where he
has been ever since Manning has made
several fortunes in the game, and he is
said. to be quite wealthy. He is a good
business man and will probably enter some
mercantile pursuit.
