MANAGERS IN BIC
LEAGUES
Little Changes in Rules to
Be Made This
Year.

interesting subjects of comment at
the big gathering of baseball men
here this week has been that relat
ing to changes among the managers
of the big league teams for the COM
| ing season. The discussion has
brought to light the fact that the
managerial changes will be fewer in
number than in any preceding year
in the history of the major organiza-
lions.
AS matters stand at present there
will be only one new major league
manager in the field when the cur
tain rises in April next for the sea-
son Of 1911. The only certain switch
will be made in the makeup of the
st. Louis Americans, from whose
management Jack O'Connor was de-
posed last fall. The only other
change that is at all likely is in the
| Boston Nationals Fred Lake is
signed up for another year, it is I'M
derstood, but with a change in the
club ownership it is possible that
another man may be selected to pi-
lot the team next season.
The number of changes among the
the records of former years. During
the past eight years no less than 55
| men have managed clubs in the Ma
tional and American leagues, the
Nationals having had twenty-six and
the Americans Twenty-Five. Some
of these men have driftel from one
club to another in the same circus,
and have occasionally transferred
their operations to the other league
