BALL MANAGERS ARE SCARCE
Berths I'm Five Major Leagues Are
Yet to He Filled.

~ nC EAAAtus
NEW YORK, Nov. I-where are all the
new managers for the American. National
and Eastern league teams coming from?
According to rumor, in the Johnson organ
ization the Highlanders are to have an
other boss and there is a slight possibility
that John 1. Taylor of Boston may decide
to put Fred Lake back on tie scout job.
In the National league Boston. Cincinnati
and st. Louis undoubtedly will nave new
managers. That makes five major league
berths to be filled. In the Eastern league
Newark. probably, and Rochester, Buffalo
and Toronto. surely, will make changes In
their leaders. Some OF the men canned
by the National and American league teams
might catch on in Pat Powers pride, and
the big bodies may dip into the Eastern
league and pick up a pair Of commanders,
possibilities being Dun and stallings.
Hughey Duffy won't desert Providence
and no others in the Powers organization
would be desired by the big teams. II the
larger organizations go into the American
association after managerial timber they
won't find leaders falling all over them
selves to accept the more responsible
berths. Charley Carr might be induced to
leave Indianapolis, but Derby Day
Clymer has a good thing in Columbus, and
so has Bill Armour in Toledo. Mike Kelley
would be delighted to assume control OF
an American league team in a managerial
capacity, but Kelley could not break into
the Johnson organization with a pickax
In the selection of new managers there
may be elevations from the ranks OF
worthy privates.
