Deep into the forest she had borne

George Mcbride Slated
To Manage the Indians
Nationals Dandy Captain to
Succeed Joe Birmingham
as Pilot of Cleveland.
GOSSIP OF NATIONALS
BY WILLIAM PEET.

Cleveland. Ohio. May 2l.-George Nc
Bride. captain of the Nationals during
the past five years and regarded as one
of the best shortstops the game has ever
produced. is slated to be the next mana
ger of the Cleveland club to succeed Joe
I Birmingham. who was given his uncon-
ditional release this morning.
Yes, ] would undertake the job here
il the club owners gave me free rein. q
believe l could eventually develop a fine
ball team. | am not at all anxious to
leave Washington but I realize that my
chances for advancement as a manager
are greater than as a player. and l am
willing to take that chance" is the way
Mcbride answered the writer when asked
point blank If he would accept the man.
agerial role here in Cleveland providing
the offer was made.
II will not talk about a trade for Nc
Bride with Cleveland or any other club
1t is true that Somers and I have dis
nothing for publication says Clark
Griffith. who. like all managers. does not
relish the idea of story leaking out
until everything Is cut and dried.
For the present I am in no hurry to
appoint a manager for my ball club"
states Charley Somers, owner of the
Cleveland team. Il am willing to admit
that have talked to Griffith about Nc
Bride. but we have come to no terms"
MIR. Somers added
The whole situation In a nutshell is
this: Cleveland has turned Birmingham
loose before the 1915 season is thi>e
months old and no such step would have
been taken. unless the Cleveland owners
had pretty near settled i'm their own
minds just who would handle the reins.
Yesterday afternoon Jim McAleer. for
mer manager of the Washington team
breeZed into Cleveland from his home
in Youngstown. Ohio. and was closted
with Somers and Griffith all the after
noon.
1t is known that McAleer has always
tuoted George Mcbride as one of the
smartest players in the game today
He has put himself on record as saying
that Mcbride would make an ideal mana
ger.
While McAleer has retired permanently
from the national pastime since h.
sold out his interests in the Boston REQ
Sox to Joe Lannin in 1918. he is still high
in the confidence of Ban johnson and
the club owners of the American League
McAleer declares emphatialIy that he
believes George Mcbride the best man
Somers could possibly get to manage
the Cleveland ball club.
Now comes the question, what will the
Washington club get in exchange for
George Mcbride, and it is believed that
right here lies the real hitch to negotia-
tons which undoubtedly are under way.
Griffith declares that he would not
swap Mcbride for Ray Chapman. the
Cleveland shortstop, but admits that he
might consider a trade involving Joe
Jackson for Mcbride.
SomerS. on the other hand. would not
think of parting with Jackson. and, in
case Chapman was turned over to the
