new MANAGERS
FOR MANY CLUBS
Several New Faces Will Be Seen
Among Big League Leaders

New York, Sept. 26.-When Presi-
dent Farrell OF the New York Ameri-
can league club accepted the resigna-
tion of Manager Frank Chance, he
ushered in the season for the gather
ing of managerial scalps in the major
leagues. No sooner had the Peerless
Leader" been handed his passports
than rumors of other prospective
changes among big league pilots began
to travel thick and fast.
1t is said that in addition to the new
be new managers leading the Cleve-
land Maps, the Phillies, the Chicago
White Sox and the Chicago Cubs. Ru-
NOR has it also that Manager Fred
Clarke OF the Pirates would not be
grieved to bid adieu to Smoketown and
retire to his Kansas ranch. Naturally
Clarke is a bit discouraged over the
showing made by his team this season.
Starting like winners last Spring. the
Pirates suddenly cracked and dropped
out of the running. AS the Pittsburgh
manager is reputed to be worth a large
wad OF several varieties of regular
money. il would hardly be safe TO bet
that he will not blow the job before
training time next year.
Must Satisfy Fans.
From CInVaIan1 qnna etoriag nF "a
tinware shower i'm preparation for
Joseph Birmingham. The stories are
to the effect that John Camel. former
Cincinnati manager and for several
years a successful pilot Of the Roches-
ter club is to succeed Birmingham as
manager of the Maps. Cleveland fans
are manifestly displeased at the show
ing of the Naplanders and their clamor
may lead td a change in management.
The present situation in Philadel-
pha is due chiefly to the failure of the
hard hitting Phils to produce the
goods Manager Charley Doom is a
hard worker and one of the most pop
ular managers in the big leagues. But
the fact that the Phils are not up there
fighting for the flag has disgruntled
the fans OF Quakerdom and as con-
sequence It may be that Doom will get
the axe.
big question mark symboliZes the
situation i'm regards to Hank O'Day
and his chances To remain as manager
OF the Chicago Cubs. Windy City
scribes have been firing Hank at least
once "A week all season, but Henry is
still on the job, which helps sor1c.
Callahan May Lose Out.
Like the Pirates the White s;oX
started the season as though they in
tended To make u runaway race. But
the Sox faded when the going became
hot. and their failure to keep up the
pace naturally has led to rumors that
Manager James Callahan may be drop
ped before the beginning OF another
season. Ii is said that in case Gala
han is shown the gate, he will he sue
ceeded by the veteran william ("Kid)
Gleason. The kid" is now coaching
the White Sox. Though a quarter OF
century has rolled around since he
first became actively interested i'm the
national pastime he is still there with
the ginger.
President Ebbets. OF the Brooklyn
club, has spiked the yarn that Man
ager Wilbert Robinson was TO he let
out. Bobby" has three-year con-
tract with the Superbas and will he
given further opportunity To produce
n winner.
Cincinnati is to retain its present
leader Charley Hcrzog. II was freely
predicted that Her2og would be hand
ed the pink slip when the Reds failed
to keep IN the running. especially as
Cincinnati has been in the habit of
changing managers about as often as
Il changed players But contrary to
expectations "Herzy" will stay in Red
land and try his hand at producing a
winning outfit againt next season.
Jennings Is Fixture.
Along with Herzog there are num-
Der OF other major league managers
who have no cause for worry over
their immediate future. Heading the
list of hod-overs are the old guard
composed Of Connie Mack of the Ath-
letics. John McGraw of the Giants.
Clark Grifith of the Senators and
Hugh Jennings of the Tigers. With
