FIELDER JONES WILL
MANAGE THE YANKS
Chicago Report Claims the Famous
White Sox Leader VIII Pilot New
York Club IN 1915.

II the report that has Just emanated
from Chicago Is true the Yankees are to
have one OF the lfveliest managers In the
business next season. It Is declared that
as soon as the Federal League and or
ganlzed baseball sign their peace treaty,
which is expected to be done some time
today, II will be announced that Fielder
Jones, the famous manager OF the White
Sox, worlds champions in 1906, will come
to New York as leader Of Frank Farrell's
team, and that Joe Tinker. the player who
virtually made the Feds, will become
manager ot~the Cubs
With the making OF peace il becomes
necessary to provide berths for capable
managers such as is Jones. 1t was not
until late in the season that he was per
suaded to forsake his business interests
in the far West and go to st. Louis as
manager Of the Federal League team OF
that city. This only came about by offer
ing him one OF the largest salaries ever
paid a baseball man. With the merging
OF the Cards and the Feds in st. Louis.
which is believed to be one Of the peace
conditions, there Is no room for Jones in
that city, as Miller Higgins Is 50 popu-
lar as manager Of the Cards that the
National League would never oust him to
make room for another.
Because Of the discharge Of Frank
Chance, another former Chicago idol. the
Yankees are without a manager, and ex-
perts declare that outside of George STALL
ings he is the best constructive manager
in the game
II was Tinker's desertion of organized
baseball that Influenced many other base
ball lights to cast their lot with the Feds
last season. He was a big hit as manager
and shortstop OF the Chifeds.

Al Tearney Makes Big Prop
osition Which VIII Be
Acted Upon Sale Of Cubs
VIII Not Break Up Feds.
CLUBS MAY CONSOLIDATE

Omaha, Neb.. Nov. u-Today's session
Of minor baseball leagues promised to
start on with q row from the tap Of
the bell Al Tearney's proposition to
have one member Of the minor leagues
sit with the national commission In all
meetings being the first subject on the
card.
The player and salary limit resolution
which caused hot debates yesterday
comes up again today. having definitely
rejected the, general committees cut to
twelve players. The other leagues, with
the exception Of class AA yesterday voted
to accept, the salary and player limits
arranged.
'srhe sale of the Chicago Cubs TO
weeghman does not break up the Fed
eral league. nor does II end the base
ball war" said President Barrow, Of the
International League today. The nego-
tiations now under way In Chicago do not
account for the Brooklyn Federals nor
the Federals in other places. It simply
takes away one Of the big hackers Of the
Federals, and leaves that league In po-
sition to invade another town II It can
fnd the hackers to put up the money.
Weeks OF negotiations will. have TO be
gone through before any final peace is
arranged.
There may be q consolidation Of In
terests at Buffalo and Baltimore, but no
elimination Of the International teams as
President Gilmore of the Federals says
there will be. And in any negotiations
which are carried on these leagues which
are loyal to organized baseball will re-
ceive the consideration, not the other
fellows
The sale Of the Cubs to weeghman will
undoubtedly be announced in Chicago
today or tomorrow
