MAY HEAD MAPS
AGAIN THIS YEAR
McAleer Spoken of as Man.
ager for Cleveland Team
During 1914.

Boston, Jan. 31.-Around the big
league circuit there is a feeling that
Jimmy McAleer. formerly president Of
the Boston Red Sox, will return to the
scene OF his former triumphs and su-
persede joe Birmingham, the present
manager of the Cleveland Maps. Mo
Aleer is in Australia with the world
circling bail teams
1t is a question il q berth could be
found more suitable for McAleer. 1t
was in the Forest city, away back IN
1889, that McAleer made his entry in
to major league baseball and later it
was there that he gained prominence
as Il manager.
When Clevelnd became one of the
r~anlifications Of the American league.
McAl;er was put at the helm. His
home: city, Youngstown. is but a short
distance from Cleveland. and this, too.
would serve to make McAleer feel
more at home.
During his career as q major league
ballplayer McAleer never played any
where hut Cleveland. He began there
in 1889, played 100 games. in which
he batted for .235 and fielded for $50.
He covered center fald. When the
baseball revolution took place that
fall, McAleer cast his fortune with the
rebels, and in 1890 turned up with
the Cleveland Brotherhood cam.

have termed him The Ghost;;'' others

the mos appropriate name that could
be given to him would be "The Will

that he is here, there and everywhere

and trembling, for that was the effect
it had always. after which he would
simply SLASH q mar to ribbons with

it was fear on his part OF getting hurt
and that he did it to bluff his man and
keep him from making any attempt to
