LAJOIE RESIGNS JOB AS
MANAGER OF THE MAPS
Declines to Serpe During Remainder of Season.
StOpaH and Jim Mcclure Named as
His Possible Successor.
Special to The Washington Herald.


Cleveland. Ohio, Aug. 17.-Napoleon La
joie. manager OF the Cleveland baseball
club for the last FIVE seasons. rendered
his resignation this afternoon. to take
effect as soon as his successor is named.
A week or more may pass before the
position VIII be filled. When asked to
remain In charge the remainder Of the
season. LaJoie declined saying he be-
lleved it would be 10 the best interests OF
the club 10 have his successor take com
mand as soon as possible. so as 10 get
acquainted with the players prior 70 the
start OF another campaign.
First Baseman Stovan. who was act
ing manager for a week or so this sum-
mer when Lajoie was injured. Is a pos
sible man for the job. In fact. Vice
President Somers two months ago re-
marked that If any Cleveland player ever
succeeded Lajoie, Stovall would be the
man. Jim Mcclure. former manager OF
the Boston Red Sox. who IS now scout
ing" for the Cleveland club Is also a
possibility.
In his letter Of resignation Lajoie says
that inasmuch as both he and his players
have been subjected 10 considerable abuse
as the result OF the clubs failure to win
he thinks II UP TO him 70 resign. He
also said that while II had been his
ambition TO give Cleveland its first PEN
nant winner he does not intend to let
personal wishes stand in the way OF the
clubs success.
In conclusion. he declared that he
pledged himself to work just as hard as
player as he has as a manager, and
10 serve faithfully in the ranks under
whomsoever the owners secured as man
ager.
The Maps have done fairly well an that
under Lajoie as manager. In 1905 they
had a lead Of 100 points in the middle OF
July. when Lajoie was hurt and put out
Of the game for the remainder OF the
season.
They were a good second in 1906. when
eight players We're crippled az the same
time I'm August. In 1907 they did not
show we'll Lajoie and others being in
the hospital In 1903 they finished half a
game behind Detroit. despite the absence
OF Turner and Flick from the game and
the experimenting with SIX men as short
stop. This season the club has been in
rut and Lajoies resignation is the
result.
