Chicago, Jan. 14.-This has been a
remarkable winter for baseball nam
ayers. Since the season of 1912 came
to a close six of the sixteen major
league clubs have made a change in
management for the coming season.
The signing of Frank Chance last
week to lead the New York Ameri-
cans for the next three years complct-
ed the Job and now everything is set
for another season.
Four of the six changes were made
in the National league. the Chicago.
st. Louis, Cincinnati and Boston clubs
having signed new men to handle the
affairs in 1913. Only New York and
Cleveland III the American league
made changes, and the latter practic-
ally had the thing settled before the
season of 1912 was over
OF the changes made the one which
took Frank Chance to New York ov-
ershadowed all others. He had the
unique experience Of being fired from
a $4,000 job. sold for $500 twice.
and then signed at the biggest salary
evcr paid in baseball.

major leagues except the n which

Frank Farrell considers himself lucky
in spite of the record salary he must
pay.
Two others which have caused
much talk are the St. Louis National
case and the Chicago Nationals. Roger
Bresnahan vas deposed as leader Of
the Cardinals. although he had a con-
tract to handle them for four nor
years. The woman owner down there
became peeved over something Roger
did cost the club about $4,000. as
was figured u by one of the Mound
City experts.
The local case has caused a lot OF
discussion because Of the general dis
satisfaction over the discharge of
Frank Chance. Johnny Evcrs. Of
