suddenly yawned for him. He had got

beat ii to second when Schaefer bunted

Schweitzer strolled along the Big

Only Washington Newspaper Mnn
With the NHfIonhIh.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. Aug. l9.-Well in
formed fans OF this city have heard on
the best authority that at the end OF
the present season there will be a va
cant managerial job In the American
League club, that has been representing
or misrepresenting, st. Lou.s during the
past few months
That Bobby Wallace is 10 so is said
to be assured. That the clever short
stop has long since tired of his job of
attempting TO direct that shipwrecked
crew has long been known, and the
understanding here is that Boss
Hedges has already started a search
for a successor. Lack of ability to in
Q still aggreSslN eness in his players has
been one of the chief charges against
Wallace, and it is said he has worried
until he would gladly welcome relief,
even at this stage.
New Leaders Advantage.
The st. Louis club has gathered up
about as many ball players as any or
ganization in the country, so the inCom-
ing leader will have far better material
to work on than was showed off on
Wallace, when he took charge
In speaking of warming up il is in
teresting to note that Sportsman Park
here is equipped, like most other mod
ern plants, with special places for the
pitchers to condition themselves. In
front of each bench there is box and
plate at regulation distance apart and
all of the pitchers do their fiinging on
these before entering the games. 1t
was suggested in The Times two weeks
ago that new National Park be equipped
in the same way.
