Later rumors have it that Charley
Thomas, present president of the
Cubs, will also go to Toledo and take
charge of the executive end of the
team.
Bresnahan and Thomas are both
in Chicago, but neither knows any
thing definite as to his future status.

with Clarke gone, Hans has his way,
it is understood, and the Pittsburgh
