AS TEAM PILOTS.
FIVE or Six New Managers
Likely to be Appointed In
American League
LEADERS ALONE ARE
SAFE FOR NEXT YEAR

The consummation of the deal by
which Jimmy McAleer. the Washing
ton pilot becomes part owner Of
the Boston Red Sox. will mark the
passing of five and possibly six
American Leagne managuers who are
directing clubs this season.
The wholesale change of team
pilots will leave only Connie Mack
and Hughey Jennings at the helm Of
the Athletics and the Tigers, respec-
lively, and possibly Hugh Duffy,
with the White Sox in 1912. Even
Mack has said he may retire II the
Athletics win the worlds title again.
There is small chance that McAleer
will retain Patsy Donovan as man
ager of the Red Sox. II is McAleers
intention to turn over the manage
ment Of the club to another and act
in the capacity Of chief executive Of
the Boston teams destiny exclusive
". This means that a new manager,
probably, Germany" Schaeffer, will
be appointed for the Washington club,
now directed by McAleer.
Although McAleer has not decided
on the policy of his club with respect
to its management. those who have
been close to the former St. Louis
and present Washington leader say
\ he will make a change in the manage
ment of the Red Sox.
According to the gossips in St.
/ Louis, Bob Hedges early put himself
on record for Wallace, but the mis-
erable showing of the club this sea-
son has made the cry for new man
aeer heard on every hand. Wallace
is a good BASEBALL man, but st. Louis
has had the most disastrous season
in it's history.
Complaint against the management
of Hal Chase, of the New York High
landers, were heard on every hand
when the White Sox last visited tho
metropolis. That George Stallings
4 n,loted the Yankees to second place,
81 near the Philadelphia Athletics, the
& worlds champions. has not been for
gotten. The Highlander fans applaud
Il chase for his wonderful feats in COW
u ering first base. but they are almost
unanimous in tneir hostility to him

N In New York point to the fact that the
Highlanders have a good pitchlng
# staff and good fielding and batting
& and classy backstop, yet they are
s having trouble remaining in the nrst
division. -
In Cleveland there is presented one
of the most peculiar complications
in the American League. II Is gen
erallv understood that Harry DAVIS,
of the Athletics. is to be the Naps
rnanager-in 1912 According 10 receh'
81 renSrts the contract was signed some
time ago. At the time DAVIS Is salu
to have attached his signature 10 ths
contract the Maps looked the part ol
hopeless second division players.
In such q bad plight did the teain
appear that Jimmy Mcclure hanoeo ln
