Elberfeld is greatly liked here

students Of the game who question
his managerial ability, in view Of
the temperament which he has
shown in the past. According to
Clark Griffith, the Kid was prima-
rily responsible for the disruption
of the Yankees just before his de-
parture, and 1t is a known fact
that he refused to have him under
his direction at Washington this

Furthermore. his part in the Nc

to some extent that he is not pos
