OF good pitching, the same as it was
when Griff bossed the Yankees. Gin.

papers are burning I'D the team every
day, and Hermann is disguised,
Other managers who may be asked
to move are Patsy Donovan OF the
Boston Americans, Bob Wallace Of the
st. Louis browns, Fred Tenney of the
Boston Nationals, and possibly Bill
Dahlen of Brooklyn.
As long as John Taylor owns the
Boston red sox, John /. Taylor will be
their manager. He may not hold the
official title, but he is the boss Tay-
Tor travels with the team, calls down
the athletes, picks the pitchers, hands
out suspensions and engineers all
deals. He has picked to pieces the good
team that Fred Lake left him. Dono-
van shoulders the blame and Taylor is
looking for a new scapegoat. Jimmy
Collins, George Huff, Bob Unglaub, Jim
Mcclure and Fred Lake could not suit
Taylor, and neither can Donovan. Tay-
lor may put In another f1gurehead, but
none of his players wants the job.
In st. Louis 1t Is believed that Bob
Wallace will voluntarily resign the
management Of the browns, but will
remain with the team. Fred Lake will
be his successor If there is change.
Fred Tenney's days in Boston are
numbered. 1t is officially denied, but
nevertheless 1t is certainty that
Johnny King has been promised the
management of the rustlers. Even If
the club changes hands, Tenney hasn't
much chance to stick He has been UNI

Players and managers regard Cincin-
natl as city to be avoided, except as
members Of visiting teams. The fans
there mourn the loss of Miller Higgins,
who has been such a capable assistant
to Roger Bresnahan in st. Louis, and
would like to see Hug return as man
ager. No chance.
Griff has never been forgiven for
dismissing Higgins, Mowery and Ellis,

Roger Bresnahan in registering the
management hit of the year. On the
Cincinnati team at present there isn't
q player who appears capable of maxi
ing success Of the reds.
Bill Dahlen has had some hard luck
in Brooklyn. This is his second year,
and If the dodgers fail to finish high
err than seventh Dahlen may be asked
70 quit. Bill knows a lot of baseball
but doesn't seem to be able to impart
his knowledge to the athletes drawing
a salary from Charles Fl. Ebbetts; at
least not to any great extent.
Cincinnati fans would like to see
John CAMEL back there, because they
believe that John never was given a
show the year that he worried along
with the reds. CAMEL has won two
at Rochester and has an ex-
cellent chance to capture third.
Brooklyn fans would welcome CAMEL
If Ebbetts made a change. John is a
great hustler, especially in digging up
talent. He has wide acquaintance.
Concerning John. MeGraw and Con-
ME Mack, the opinion is ventured that.
they will be found doing business at
the same old stands in 1912, no matter
who wins the worlds championship
next fall.
