HUGHES TO MANAGEo
He Should Have Another Chance
Wichita Writer SAYS

Wichita Writer Says.
Wichita, Kan, Nov. 1s.-Who will man
age the Jobbers next year? asks the
Wichita Beacon.
That is the burning question when
ever bunch of fans get together. Some
Of the fans are in favor of giving George
Hughes another trial and others think
that a new manager should be secured.
Some of the fans who do not take into
consideration the business end of the
game are coming out for a bench man
ager and a big Lacquer at that. A bench
manager would be all right If the team
was in shape to afford the extra salary.
1t would cost the team close to $500
month to hire a bench manager
second baseman would have to be secured
in addition to the manager AS it now
stands. Hughes fills both positions. In
all probability Hughes Will be given an
other try at the managers position next
season. He deserves another trial and If
the team fails to stay IN the first division
there will be time then to talk of chang
ing managers. There is no doubt but that
the team had more than its share Of hard
luck last season and that Hughes should
be able to get more out of the team during
the 1913 season.
