HENDRICKS
OFFERED JOB
Of TINKER'S
BY HAMILTON.

q nited Press stan Correspondent
NEW YORK. Nov 28-Chicagoans
came close. mighty close, to having the
energies Of their two major league
clubs directed by men from the minors
without previous major league man
agerial or playing experience.
1t was Charlie Weeghman. boss OF
the Cubs. who saved the day. His firm
stand against the wishes of some Of
the other directors prevented the ap-
pointment of Jack Hendricks to Tin
ker's job last month.
Clarence Pants" Rowland. manager
of the White Sox. was formerly
luminary Of the Three-i league and
jumped TO the Sox managership with
out serving a players apprenticeship
in top-uotch company. When Hendricks
was in New York a short time ago he
told the United Press that he had been
offered the helm by several directors
of the National leaguers. but was un-
able to take It because Weeghman had
declared that if Tinker left the Cubs
he would leave. too. Weeghman, ac-
cording TO Hendricks. was consider
ably strong for Tinker. due to the fact
that the latter's leap to- the Feds con-
trihuted more than any one agency to
putting the erstwhile outlaws on their
feet. Consequently, Weeghman says,
Tinker viii have that job as long as
he IS president of the CUBS.
Inasmuch as weeghman owns a pre-
ponderance of the stock and generally
does about as he pleases there is little
likelihood right now that an alien
voice will command the Cubs next
spring The directors are said to be
stin mighty strong for a change of
affairs and an effort recently was made
to get Jimmy Callahan. When that fell
through some Of the directors went
after Hendricks.
Hendricks has been remarkably sue
cessfuI in the minors. He has been
