LOOKING FOR
NEW MANAGERS
Major LeaguerS Are Planning
Many Changes for Next
Season
HALF A DOZEN
NEW ONES COMING

When the two big Leagues get into
action next spring there Is every in
dication that the teams will be lead
by a number OF new managers When
six new men made their appearance
at the heads of as many clubs last
season, the prediction was made that
there would be no more changes for
some time to come. The situation has
changed, however. and now deals are
on which are looked upon as forerun-
ners to managerial changes. The new
managers starting out last spring
were Lake and Donovan OF Boston,
Dahlen at Brooklyn, O'Connor at st.
Louis. Duffy at Chicago and Mcclure
at Cleveland. the last named having
taken hold n few weeks before the
previous season ended.
Now there are half dozen changes
possible. One has already been con-
summated. Hal Chase replacing
George Stallings at\ New York city.
Jack OConnor, manager OF the
Browns, has been deposed.
Red Doom recently quit his Job as
manager of the Phillies, but has re-
considered his action for the time be-
ing, none too well pleased with his
berth since last spring when President
Fogel put through deal which Doom
claimed to know nothing about until
he read Il I'm the papers. That was
one which took Coveleskie and Cor
ridon away from the Phillies. sent

and Beebe and Fromme to Cincinnati

even with his boss. But Garry Herr
mann claims that Fogel knew what
was going on.
Rumor has It that Harry Davis. Of
the Athletics, is going to Cleveland.
That Is questionable for the reason
that Charley Somers. owner of the
Maps, has not manifested any desire
to part with Mcclure, with whom he
has a two-year contract and who de-
veloped several youngsters into star
players.
But the chances are that Harry
Davis viii be big league manager
inside of two years. Connie Mack
has great regard for Davis and Is
willing to keep him at Philadelphia
as long as the first sacker desires, but
II Harry is offered a good chance to
manage some other big league club
It Is not thought that Mack will stand
IN his way. At the best, Davis has
only about two good years OF playing
In him and he probably VIII welcome
any opportunity which viii let him
show whether or not he Is capable o
running a team without the advice o
the astute Cornelius.
e Then. there may be a change IN tn
bossing of the Chicago Cubs. Fran

Hughey Duffy Will again be In charge
OF TIA Chicago White SOx. Hughey
was not very successful during the
last season but there was no time that
he had a really good ball club. He
had a splendid pitching stan but he
cannot win pennants with pitching
stan alone. The fact that Fielder
Jones is still sticking around in the
East leads one to believe that per-
haps he and Comiskey viii get to-
gether before many weeks have pass
ed and Jones will resume his old posi-
tion at the head of the Sox.
