The announcement that Andy"
Coakley, the former star twirler of the
Philadelphia Athletics win manage the
Wilmington Tri-State team next sea-
son, exclusively announced in THE
EVENING JOURNAL yesterday, came
as a pleasant surprise TO the city fans.
Coakley is a real find. Peter f. Cas-
sidy, one OF the owners Of the club,
picked him up in New York city while
mixing with the big league magnates.
The addition of this veteran to the
Chicks should be of invaluable benefit.
Following Coakleys relaese by the
Athletics he played with the Chicago
Americans and later with New York.
Last year he played seashore ball at
Long Branch with Ty Cobb's all-star
team As Cassidy has not returned

get other players before returning

which National League clubs play pass
laws which will make IL a crime to
speculate in baseball tickets.
This in effect is the only answer 20
the resolution passed by the American
League which many at first thought
presaged "A war between the two
major leagues.
The National League magnates. at
their final meeting yesterday refused
to take any action on the American
League resolution.
They did however, offer reward OF
500 for the arrest and conviction OF
every person guilty Of making pool

It was said the schedule next year
will call for l54 games. beginning
