aging the Cleveland club for five years
Napoleon Lajoie last evening offered his
resignation as manager, to take effect as
quickly as the club owners can find a sue
cessor. President Kilfoyle and Vice Presi-
dent Sommers will canvass the field.
They are Undecided as to the choice of a
manager.
declared he would continue to give the
club his best efforts at second or where
ever it is desired to play him. He holds
a four-year playing contract, signed this
spring.
Lajoie refused to yield to Sommers'
pleas to reconsider his action. and later
Sommers declared he believed Lajoies
suggestion that new manager take hold
now instead Of next spring was WISE
Lajoie to quit at the end Of the season,
a course Lajoie's friends expected also.
Lajoie gave as his reason adverse COM
nent, particularly referring to charges
that his players were not giving him their
best services. Lajoie insisted the players
have been loyal. though It is known that
two Of them at least have sworn to "show
up" IIajoie and force his resignation.
La3ote came here from the Philadelphia
Nationals in 1902. Discussing the situa-
ton both Kilfoyl and Sommers declared
Latoie had done much for the game here
and that they deplored his resignation,
though both dropped hints that they had
expected him to quit before another sea-
son. Sommers declared the club had
spared no expense in trying to give
LAjoie players who could win a pennant,
but that other clubs had been luckier In
their choice Of men. He added it was no
fault Of Lajoie's that the men did not
prove more valuable.
