$4,000.
To a physician whose heart was

managers who We're not in charge when
the 1913 campaign opened There will
also be a new manager for the Cincin-
natl team,
The quintet OF new pilots a year ago
included Birmingham of Cleveland. Evers
OF Chicago, Tinker OF Cincinnati, Chance
OF New York and Stallings OF Boston.

But some Of these 1919 experiments
have been retained, the three changes
being made in towns where the managers
