JIMMY McALEER GAME.
Won't Give Up Management of |
Browns Under Fire.

Jimmy McAleer is game. The man
ager of the st. Louis Americans has
gone through what few other man
ayers could have stood since the PEN
nant race began, and the howlS OF
the fans after such expectations have
moved him not a bit. TIL never quit
with the club in such position.
They can fire me. but the knockers
will never drive me out" says Jim
my. Then he goes on to tell his mis-
fortunes. and they are many. For
long stretches he has gone along with
one or more of his regular outfield
crippled up and out of it.
It's new sensation for Jimmy to
be down there in a race. It's usually
the first division at least for Nc
Aeerites. When Jimmy was a player
he was the greatest outfielder in the
country. He was never given this
lofty title in regard to his manage
ment. but he is about as wise as any
man who directs a club. Other man
ayers are afraid to deal with him. In
previous years he rarely made a mis-
take in his trades and came out on
the long end. and good maxim was,
Keep the man McAIeer wants." But
now the veterans are going back. Bill
Dineen, Jack Powell. Harry Howell
and RUDE Waddel are not the pitch
ers they were a couple of years ago.
His infielders are slowing up. So 1t
looks like a general reorganization
for next season. But Jimmy will not
quit. He's game to the finish.
