credence.

ter of manager for next year. the
fans will wait to hear from him before
accepting any reports.
Despite the declaration of Manager
Fielder Jones that he would not be at
the helm next year, there are many
who believe that Comiskey will be
able to persuade him to return. Jones
has stated before that he had finished
his baseball career. and his declara
ton this time IL said to be stronger
than ever. But the fact that he camc
back last year after asserting that he
would not do go causes the fans to
believe that he will again change his
mind and lead the Sox once more.
But II FIELDER should not return
Comiskey will have hard problem
ahead of him in selecting leader for
his team. Callahan, whose name Is
suggested as Jones successor, still Is
under reserve to the Sox, but expects
soon to be- released Callahan last
night said that before going to the
woods Comiskey had agreed TO release
him after the waiver process had

WEEKEND REVEL FOR THE

Communications afforded visiting teams
but has brought along his own che1'
his own drinking water and VIII con
duct miniature hostelry on side
track, In which his men Will live
throughout their stay at Ann Afbor.
This afternoon the Vanderbilt men
and their coach will be accorded a Sc
cluded corner Of Ferry field in which
TO go through with their secret forma-
tions. This evening they will be the
guests OF the Michigan rooters at the
annual mass meeting which Is a regu-
lar feature OF the Vanderbilt game
each year. Speeches are on the pro-
gram from Coach McGugin and Capt.
Blake, as well as the Michigan he
roes.
Quite a little Vanderbilt money has
arrived in Ann Arbor and the game
is creating no small amount of spec-
ulative interest In Detroit.
II is conceded that Vanderbilt
has a better chance to clean up
than In any Of the three proceed
Ing years In which the teams have
elashed. In the last two games
Vanderbilt has been defeated by
small scores and this, result has
been achieved very largely on the
good fortune which seemed to
perch exclusively on the Michi.
gan banner.
This year Michigan Is figured as less
strong while Vanderbilt Is said 10
have developed whirlwind style OF
attack which Includes some bewfldcr'
ing plays made possible by the new
style OF football.
While the Vanderbilt game will nat
urally attract the attention OF the
strictly Michigan football supporters
local folks who do not care tn take the
trip TO Ann Arbor will be well pro.
vided for in the game, which the De-
trOit Athletic \Club team viii play
