REORGANIzED

For the fast approaching baseball
season OF 1913 four National League
Clubs will give the baseball public
In the American League will make
similar offering although there are
two other clubs that viii make nearly
new managerial gifts.
The Boston. Cincinnati, Chicago and
st Louis clubs, are the National Lea
que clubs that will be plotted by new
managers, while only New York in the
American League viii he manage,l ny;
men who didn't have control Of their
respective teams at the opening of the
season of 1912, but when theseurtain
dropped at the close Of the campaign
they were on the Job.
Harry Davis, the former first base
man OF the Athletics, made failure
of his attempt at handling the Maps.
It was big disappointment, too, to
his army Of admirers the country over,
that he didn't fare better, as they
thought sure that after his long ex-
perience under the tutorship of Con-
ME Mack he knew how to manage a
team. ~
When Davis fell down Joe Birming-
ham, the outfleIder, was rushed in to
fill the breach, and he did 50 well that
the entire Cleveland press demanded
that he be given chance to see what
he could do at the outset of next
season. 1850
Birmingham Confident -, .a.ss
Birmingham has all the confidence
In the world that ne will make good.
Larry Lajoie, the famous second base
man, who seems as good as ever, Is
among those who have been managers
of the Maps, and he has promised Bir-
mingham that he will work off his
finger ends to help him to turn out a
winner. 80 IL -. ~. ...r4. &. 4
George StoEall will be seen at the
head of the St Louis club He had
some experience as q manager at
Cleveland; IN fact the fans In that
city were very anxious to see him
made manager of the team instead of
Davis, but as the latter had already
been appointed for 1912 before Stovall
took charge, it was found necessary
to let him out
When Rhody Wallace made it plain
that he would never do as a manager,
which was about the middle of last
season, the club owner looked around
to see what he could. do about finding
his successor. His eyes finally rested
on Stovall and he asked him If he
would assume the responsibilities of
management, which he did.
Stovau's success with the Browns
was every whit as good as that of
Birmingham In Cleveland, and the
prospects are bright for. these two
practically new managers to make a
nit in their respective cities.
1t has been a long time since the
famous first division trio of the Ma
tional League-the Giants, Pirates and
Cubs-have experimental, but this
| coming season one of the number
(ChfcagO) will give Second Baseman
EEers a chance to see what he can do
as a pilot. Johnny is just bubbIfng
tover with enthusiasm, and he is con-
fident that. he will give McGraw,
| Clarke, Chance and others cards and
| spades as a leader
! For many years now the close OF
each season has found all three-the
| Cubs, Pirates and Giants-in the first

break in this rule win occur next
+ season, as they don't think Evers will
be able to successfully compete
against the bosses of the Giants and
| Pirates.
Miller Huggins,' who used to- play
second base for the Reds and has had
the managerial bee buzzing In his bon
net for yeSrs, will be at the helm in
the Mound city, willie Joe Tinker, fe.r
years shertstop for the Cubs, will have
charge of the Reds, succeeding the
former umpire, Hank O'Day, who had
short but turbulent stay in Redland.
George Stallings, who proved the
best manager the Highlanders ever
| had outside of Clarke Griffin, will
make his headquarters in Boston and
