Grand Forks daily herald., 1914-09-05
(By Hugh S. Fullerton.)

Chicago's Cubs present today sit
uation more astonishing than ever ex-
listed before in baseball. The team is
right near the front in the National
league race; yet the president and
manager both are to be fired as fall
ureS.
This is scoop"
have it from the closest inside that
Charles Thomas, the president, and
Henry O'Day the manager, are
doomed.
This probably will be denied--but it
is true. There is not a chance that
the person who told mo is mistaken.
The owners of the cub had decided
upon the step early in the season, and
the fact that the team got back into
the running made no difference with
their decision.
Successors Ready.
The man who told me of this Is in
position to know exactly what is go
ing on. He further told me who is to
succeed Thomas--which will be a sur
prise to baseball people, and who is to
be O'Day's successor as manager. He
asked me to refrain from mentioning
them for the present
Whether or not Thomas has failed
as president is uncertain. He under
took difficult Job. with the prejudic-
es of the people all against the team.
He has managed to smooth out some
difficult passages. and he has main
tained silence. which was great re-
lief after the constant broiling under
Murphy. He has patched up differ
ences between manager and player
and between players themselves. He
has not strengthened the club at all.
It is doubtful whether any one could
have done it.
Not Good Manager.
O'Day has proved again that he is
not a good manager. He was once a
great umpire. but an umpire does not
usually make a good manager He
has not had the loyal support Of his

CONTRACT AWARDED
 FOR NEW ORPHANAGE
Eastern Swedish Missionary Associa- tion Accepts Bid of Tracy
 Brothers of Waterbury.

Tracy Brothers of Waterbury were awarded the contract for the erection of new orphanage at Cromwell, Conn.,, at meeting of the building committee of the Eastern Swedish Missionary association held late yes terday afternoon at the offices of Architect Walter P. Crabtree. Their estimate of $22,S45. was the lowest submitted by nine contracting firms, peculiar fact in connection with them all being that the variation from the lowest to the highest estimate was only $2,442.
 The list upon which the committee made decision was as follows: Tracy Brothers. Waterbury, $22,S45: J. w. Allen & Son of this city, $23,79O: Au- gust Bergstrom of this city. $24,1O3: y. H. Grozier of Hartford, $24.167: B. H. Hubbard company of this city, $24.320: $. Mazzotta of Middletown. $24.417: H. Wales Lines company of Meriden, $24,443; T. H. Sellew of Middletown, $24,6S5, and Mylchreest Brothers of Middletown, $25.2s7.
 The new building, which is to ac- commodate more than a hundred children, is to be of brick construc- tion with artificial stone trimmings. dimensions being ninety-six by forty five feet. The architecture is to be simple, but neat and the structure will be two stories and a basement high. with the attic finished off. The place will be ready for occupancy about the first of November.
 Considerable of the money with which the new home is to be paid for was raised by Rev. G. F.. Pihl, pas tor of the local Swedish Bethany church, who made q tour for that specific purpose recently. He is the secretary of the Eastern Swedish Mission association and president of the orphanage at Cromwell. where this organization has maintained a home for several years.
