BASEBALL MOCULS IN SESSION
During Last Eight Years, American
League Clubs Have Had Twenty
Nine Managers and Nationals
Twenty Six.

New York, Dec. 14.-One OF the in
teresting subjects of comment at the
big gathering of baseball men here
this week has been that relating to
changes among the managers of the
big league teams for the coming sea-
son. The discussion has brought To
light the fact that the managerial
changes will be fewer in number than
in any proceeding year in the history
of the major organizations.
AS matters stand at present there
will be only one new major league
manager in the field when the curtain
rises I'm April next for the season OF
1911. The only certain switch will be
made in the makeup OF the st. Louis
Americans, from whose management
Jack O'Connor was deposed last fall.
The only other change that is at all
likely is in the Boston Nationals. Fred
Lake is signed up for another year, IL
is understood, but with a change I'm
the club ownership it is possible that
another man may be selected TO pilot
the team next season.
Few Changes This Year.
The number of changes among the
managers is small as compared with
the records of former years. During
the past eight years no less than fifty
five men have managed clubs in the
National and American leagues, the
Nationals having had twenty six and
the American twenty nine. Some OF
these men have drifted from one club
to another in the same circuit. and
have occasionally transferred their
operations to the other League.
Patsy Donovan. who will again lead
the Boston Americans, has had exper-
fence with the Pittsburg and st. Louis
Nationals. Washington Americans and

held the reins over Baltimore, Brook

Kelly Made Many Moves.
Joe Kelly of Toronto guided the Gin
cinnati team, dropped back into the
Eastern, and jumped out again into
the National at the helm of the Boston
club. Hugh Duffy went from Milwau-
| kee in 1908 to the Philadelphia Nation
ais. and i'm 1907 drifted into the East
ern league at the head of the Provi-
dence club. passing up to big league
ranks two years ago as the manager
of the Chicago Americans. William Ar

i'm the American Association, led

period named. while Jim Mcclure bos-
