| concluded that | would work for

Doobs is undertaking his fourth man.
agerial project. 1t marks his third
! berth as a pilot in the Southern
League.
Johnny's first managerial position
was with Nashville, in 1906. After ra
naming out of baseball for severn
years, following his withdrawal from
the Dodger fold because of eve iron.
Bile, the Boy Pilot assumed the man
agerlal role at the Tennessee Can
tai, but remained but one wear He
was succeeded by Bill Bernhard.
Johnny's next venture as pio;
was with Chattanooga, in 1909, when
as the head of the famous Lookouts
he ran away with the bunting in The
Sally League and necessitated a
vision of the season But this WAS
not all-he took his same brand o.,
sluggers and defeated the Crackers
the best four out of seven for the
championship of Dixie.
The next year, 1910, found JOHNNY

, the present outlook. Johnnys work
at Montgomery, considering the Oh

but in the majors. In securing Dobo'

five other clubs in the Southern
League and by two in the majors.
Johuny's career as player has
been far more extensive than as
pilot. His first professional engage

peared in Cincinnati Chicago ara
Brooklyn, being at the time he retired
perhaps the sIrest fielder in the par
