Sioux City Journal: Josh Clarke has
the opportunity to become the permanent
manager of the Sioux. The club owners
have decided to give him a thorough trial.
They are not looking for another pilot
and will not if Josh shows he has the
goods as a boss. The choice of Clarke
seems to meet with the approval of the
fans The writer believes that no better
selection could have been made. He is
endowed with a keen baseball mind and it
is backed up by years of experience in the
game It therefore only remains for him
to show the necessary executive ability to
retain the position permanently ~. One
point in Clarke's favor is the fact that he
has brother who is a major league man
ager With brotherly love prevailing
Brother Fred ought to be able to do some
thing for Brother Josh in the way of play
ers in case they are needed.
