WOlpertOn DepOSed as
Manager of the Yankees
Frank Farrell Says That the
frank" Showing of Team
Led to His Dismissal.
NO SUCCESSOR IN SIGHT
owner of the Team Will Take
Time in Finding Man
to Build Up Nine
Next Year.

harry Wolverton, manager OF the New
york Yankees last season. will not lead
the team next year. He received his I'M
conditional release yesterday, according
to an announcement made by Frank Far
rell' owner Of the club, lest night. Who
Wolverton's successor will be could not
be learned, Mr.. Farrell declaring that he
had no one in mind for the place
While I have no objection personally
to Wolverton. either as a player or as a
playerrmanager." said Mr.. Farrell "the
rank showing made by the team last year
led me to believe that q change would be
beneficial, and ] informed Mr.. Wolverton
that his services were no longer re-
CURED"
Wolverton came TO New York from the
Pacific Coast League last winter. AS
manager OF the Oakland club he had
some success keeping the team we'll up
In the race each season that ne was at
the helm, but never winning a pennant
he was well known in the East, having
made name for himself as third base
man Of the Phillies some years ago. He
took up his duties on the hilltop under
the most favorable circumstances, and it
was confidently expected that the solu-
ton Of perplexing problem had been
found. Griffith, Stallings and Hal Chase
had all been tried in the position, and two
of them at least found wanting.
Wolverton was Ill fated from the start.
The spring training trip was a joke on
account Of rain and cold weather. The
team began the campaign in no condition
for a hot pennant race. Injuries from
time to time robbed the Yankees Of their
stars, Wolter and Cree falling by the
wayside. A pitching staff which was
commonly conceded to be one Of the best
IN the league got away badly, and there
was not a time during the whole season
when the entire STAFF was going right
First one and then another would fash
into form. only to drop back.
The team was in an experimental stage
all through the campaign with new play
ers being tried out in nearly every posi-
ton. AS a result the race for the Yankees
simmered down to a fight TO keep out Of
last place. something which they were
unable to do.
Although he was followed by hard luck
all the season, Wolverton gave little indi-
cation of exceptional managerial abil-
ity. He had several difficult problems to
solve when he took up the reins, the
greatest OF these being to pick men for
the infeld positions at short and third

Mr.. Rosebault added that he has been

Although a lot of material was turned
over to him 10 work with, ne did not
seem to be able to sift out the wheat
from the chaff.
Much valuable time was wasted in try
ing out players whom an expert manager
would have dismissed at once as not be-
ing Of big league calibre. The club wound
up the season in a more jumbled condi-
ton than was the case when Chase got
through. There was no semblance TO
even a rough machine which could be
developed into a championship team.
While he did not show the originality
Of a McGraw, Wolverton's field general
ship was equal TO that OF the average
big league manager. He had aggressive
ness and ability to keep harmony as well
as discipline on the bench. Given a fin
ished team he might have won pennant.
but to build up a championship nine was
more than he could manage.
Until Mr. Farrell makes some announce
ment there will be much speculation as TO
Wolvertons successor. The upheaval IN
the National League has turned loose TWO
managers OF exceptional ability VINO
would be highly acceptable to Farrell and
the New York fans" While both Frank
Chance and Roger Bresnahan are tech
nically bound to the National League,
they will be at liberty to treat with the

pecially in the pitching department, either
Of these two men could keep the club we'll
up in the next race. Considering Roger
Bresnahan's personal popularity In New
York, won by his service with the Giants,
he could take hold OF the Yankees ana

Farrells selection will be awaited with
interest.

Personnel Of Cabinet

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2i.-Prcs,dent-
elect Wilson has practically selected
his cabinet. The men who will be
asked to serve in the new presidents s
official family have been decided on
and tenders Of portfolios soon will be
made to them.
Their names and positions they will
occupy were learned here yesterday
from confidential source, closer to
Governor Wilson probably than any
other. The cabinet slate is as fol-
lows:
Secretary of state-William j. Bryan,
of Nebraska
Secretary OF the treasury-Henry
MOrganthau, New York.
Secretary Of war-Representative
Mitchell Palmer, Pennsylvania.
Secretary OF the navy-Harry St.
George Tucker, Virginia.
Attorney general-William F. Nc
combs, New York, or w. A. Glasgow,
Jr., Philadelphia.
Postmaster general-Josephus Dan
icls, North Carolina
Secretary Of the interior-Former
Governor Osborn, Wyoming.
Secretary OF observation-disclosures
tative Burleson. Texas.
Secretary Of commerce and labor
Representative Redfield, New York, or
Senator Gore, Oklahoma.
This list, OF course, is subject to
change, but it is substantially correct
so far as the offers to take places in
the cabinet are concerned. Whether
all the men offered portfolios will ac-
cept is prOblematical.
Either Judge James II. Blount Of
Georgia and Washington or Repre-
sentative William A. Jones Of Virgint.
will be the next governor general of
the Philippines to succeed General
William C.. Forbes. This has been
authoriiatively announced here by SEN
ators and representatives who have
recently conferred with President-eIect
Wilson.

fer Judge Blount, who has had six

judge.
