THREE LEADERSM MAY
Be SUPPLANTED IN
AMERICAN CIRCUIT
Foil May Give Way to Speaker,
Rowland May Lose Out, and
Carrigan Says He's Quit.
BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Three American League managers
may be supplanted by others when next
season rolls around.
Bill Carrlgan has announced his re-
tirement. and Jack Barry. the veteran
infielder and generally considered the
brains of the worlds champions, may
be named as his successor.
Pants" Rowland is In bad with the
South Side fans. who believe that he
fell down In his pennant hunt when he
led better. ball club than Carrigan
took across the line III flrst place. on
the other hand, Charlie Comiskey in
sists that Rowland will stay for another
year, Commy owns the ball club, and
so you may draw your own conclusions
In Cleveland the failure OF Lee Fohls
OUTFIT to hang around rrsr, second or
third place has started current OF
feeling against him, and many believe
that Iris Speaker, the star outfielder
and leagues champion swatter, will he
given trial as a team leader in he
big show.
Five managers in the Johnsonian cir
cult are sure to be with their clubs
again for at least one more season.
Clark Griffith and Connie Mack are
stockholders i'm their cl'ibs and cannot
very well be supplanted.
BIZ Donovan last week signed anOther
contract to head the Yankees.
Fielder Jones. narrowly beaten out OF
first division berth. is certain to be
back again next spring at the head OF
the St Louis Brownies.
For years Hughey Jennings has been
criticised, but every spring he Is found
at the head OF the Tigers. For ten
years Jennings has made money for
the owners in Detroit. and there is no
reason for believing that he will be eX-
cuscd to allow some unknown to try
his fortune ms n big league manager in
charge of that den OF jungle cats.
Before Johnny McGraw returns to
New York az manager of the Giants, an
investigation will have decided whether
or not he Is eligible. McGraws out
bursts against his own team during the
concluding series of the 1916 campaign
much opposition against the Little Cor
poral, and he may he dropped by the
wayside.
ChrIsty Mathewson. in Cincinnati:
Pat Moran IN Philadelphia; Wilbert
Robinson. in Brooklyn. George Stall
ings. in Boston. and Miller Higgins. in
ST. Louis. are sure of their jobs for an
other season,
Joe Tinker. boss NJ the Cubs. may be
sidetrackcd for some other leader.
Tinker Is "n bad with the Chicago
fans as well as with his boss, Charlie
Wceghman. the hot dog king,
Jimmy Callahan is alleged to have
broken his contract during the past
season, and II IL limited In Pittsburgh
fuss.
So there you have tho possible line
ups of the two major leagues when II
comes to managers for 1917.
