Entry for Manager OF
the Yankees.
By HEYWOOD BROUN.

Clarence Henry Rowland will lead the
White Sox next season That was the
astounding message which came from
Chicago yesterday.
Peoria" says our gazetteer, is
pleasantly situated on the west bank
Of the Illinois River, and is famous for
tbs manufacture OF agricultural i'm
plements, beer, coffee roasters and
whiskbrooms." Famous" may 90 for
the gazetteer, but did you ever hear
Of Peoria before, Mr.. Fan? We never
did, but then our ignorance in regard
70 agricultural implements, coffee
roasters and whiskbrooms is colossal.
But TO get back 10 Peoria.
at has several notable public build
ings, including a library OF $4,000 vol
umes and a soldiers monument. It's
population in 1900 was 1000" When
Clarence Henry Rowland gets 10 man
aging his Sox on Sunday afternoons
more people will be watching him than
there are in the whole town of Peoria
Our gazetteer may be an old one, but,
NJ any rate, after attending TO the
soldiers monument and the population,
n goes right on TO Pepin, Pepinster
and Peauabuck, WITHOUT ever giving
Clarence Henry Rowland tumble But
We know YOU, Clarence. Last year the
new leader OF the White SoX brought
his team up from last place to second.
The Three I League is Class b or
ganization.
Rowland is thirty-three years old, and
served an extensive minor league ap-
premiership as catcher and outhelder
before getting his first manager Joo
at Aberdeen, Wash, in 1908. From
tboro no went to Jacksonville, H.,
coming later 70 Dubuque, of the Three
] League, where he was part owner and
manager Of the team. Last season was
his first try with Peoria.
Rowland's contract with Chicago is
for one year, and the salary was not
announced. He will take up ms new
duties at once. Jimmy Callahan, the
former manager of the SoX, will remain
with the club, in the business depart
mert. and will probably be appointed
vice-president, with view 10 taxing
much of the labor off the shoulders OF
Comiskey. The coming OF Rowland puts
an end to the rumors that Eddie Col
iins will lead the team. Eddie VIII De
captain, but nothing more.
The minor league test IS almost as
d;ficult as that Of the majors, and
Rowland may be the best manager IN
the world. Yet the task set for him IS
8 hard one. The crisis Will come when
the man from Peoria says for the hrst
time TO the $4,000 man from Phlla-
delphia: eddie. you done that wrong.
The reply of Eddie will come pretty
near determining the success or failure
of the White Sox team for the season
OF 1915.
Each day brings new problems, new
iovs. new sorrows, and new manager
CO.. The Yankees. The man of the morn
mo is Kid Gleason, of the White SoN'
Charlie Comiskey used to say that he
kept two managers TO tell funny
etories and the other to stop runners
AT third base. Jimmy Callahan, the
teller Of stories, being no longer mana
cor II is more than likely that Md
Gleason. the other member OF the dual
monarchy. will receive his release. AS
suming that Kid Gleason Will be out or
a lob soon. IL Is only short step 70
guess him in as manager OF the 1ah-
KEGS.
II may be urged also in favor OF
Gleason that he was long memDer OF
tho New York Giants. He has also been
widely advertised as a humorous char
acter in Ring Lardner's Letters OF
Busher." A telegram which was sent
from this Office to Gleason yesterday
with the question "Will you manage the
Yankees next season." has not been
answered.
When the report rs put up to Frank
Farrell he replied, 81 don't know any
thing about it,
That is all the confirmation needed
by as. We place in nomination for the
Office OF manager Of the Yankees
William Gleason.
According to the latest dispatches
from French Lick Springs, the deal for
the Yankees is hanging fire because
Colonel Rupert wants team with a
more certain future. The Colonel must
be hard 10 please. Consistency has
ever been a cardinal virtue of the
Yankees.
Washington has released Germany"
Schaefer. but Dutch" Leonard leads
the pitchers of the American League,
which leaves the deadlock between the
Allies and the Teutons still unbroken.
II is reported now that the rapid
recovery OF Johnny Evers is due to the
brilliant idea of friend who led an
umpire past the sick mans door.
In the light Of the Chicago develop
ments we know now what Ban johnson
meant when he said that the announce
ment Of the new manager Of the IAN
KEGS would cause "a sensation. The
next leader of the local American
League team will be drafted from q
fast semi-pro nine in New Rochelle.
Jimmy Isaminger says: Colonel Rup-
pert, the brewer who bought the Yanks
will fine any player drinking his beer
$50, il is reported. II they drink any
body else's beer, he will fine them
500"
Jimmy Austin is not being consid-
cred as manager for the Tip Tops, be-
cause he has never run team except
on Sundays.
A Chicago critic Of the drama says
"MeHale sings better than he pitches"
Marty stood thirty-eighth among the
American League pitchers last season.
When Charlie Ebbets heard that Dali
ton was dickering with the Feds he ex-
claimed: Curse you, jack
We will wager that there will be lots
Of water left in the springs even il
the baseball magnates stay month at
French Lick.
Charlie Herzog's two-year contract
with the Reds makes no provision for
time OF for go'd behavior.
Roger Bresnahan plans a big shake
up for the Cubs. That's nothing; even
the fans shook them last season.
