Who Will Secure
 Managers Job
 In Cincinnati?
Eyers, Tinker, Leach, Smith and Clymer Mentioned to Suc-
 ceed Griffith

Cincinnati, Oct 10.-fer the past several months there's been lot of talk in Cincinnati relative to next years manager for the Reds. It seems that Griffith will not be asked to return, though this, of course, is a mere guess, founded on several oc- currences during the past few weeks. However, it is not certain that the "Old Fox is to go elsewh ere-that IS, 1t IS not certain in the public Manager Griffith know but since none of them will say the public re- mains in ignorance.
 It may be put down as certain that Manager Stallings of the Buffalo Bi- sons will not be the manager. Many months ago stallings did something which President Johnson of the Amer can league did not like. Just what it was nobody will say. At any rate he has been pointed to by the base ball writer on a morning newspaper in Cincinnati as being the ideal man for the job.
 He may or may not have been cdn- Sidered by the directors. But the warm personal feeling existing be- tween President Johnson and Herr man will not be disrupted by the en,- ployment of MT. Stallings. He is a good manager--that much is certain. Yet President Johnson showed Herr mann IIidC n1S ucdTL was HI tn0 fflSHt place when he secured waivers by all of the American league clubs on Frank Smith and got that excellent, hard-working conscientious pitcher for the Reds. And that very act should endear MT. Johnson to the hearts of the local fans.
 President Murphy of the Cubs. stated that Cincinnati might have either Tinker or Evers if they could make satisfactory trades for either one It is learned through high au- thorities that Tinker can hardly be secured away from the Chicago club. Evers stands the best .sflow for the position of anybody on the Windy City team. Murphy and Chance will ask about twice his value in players, which will have to be given for him if he is named.
 The Pittsburg club has been look ed to often this season as having the manager of the Reds next season That man is Tommy Leach. There as a manager, yet he is about through with the playing end of the game, due to his weakened averages over those of former years. Herr mann recently was quoted as having said that he was through with bench managers. He is supposed to have stated that they had cost him many thousands of dollars in the past few years and had come to be a burden rather than an aid. Therefore, Leacn might fill the bill in Cincinnati for one or two years, but not more at the outside.
 These two clubs are the only ones which have given any men to the wider speculation. Of the three mem tioned, Leach would probably stand the best show if he could be secured. Dreyfuss and Hermann are the very best of friends, which might aid q little in securing Leach if there was a chance of the Pirates getting ori without the .peppery little outfiefder.
 Billy Smith, of the Chattanooga club, has been mentioned for the place, likewise Derby Day Bill" Ciy- mer, Of the Wilkesbarre team. Man. ager Ganzel of the Rochester club and several others. Smith. Clymer and Ganzel are all bench managers. Pres ident Hermann has evidently broken off his farming relations with the Chattanooga club, which may enter into the managerial question and may not. Clymer seems to be an excellent man. He has almost cinch on the pennant question wherever he has been placed--at Louisville, Columbu and Wilkesbarre. Ganzel will never be the manager here again.
