Others Expected to Git.
RUMoRs RUN HOT IN CHI


Several major league pilots are
tagged for the ak and other big time
generals will resign before another
season rolls around, if Mrs. Rumor
is peddling the right dope.
In view of the Chicago fans con-
clusion that pants" Rowland can't
win pennant with a 100000 aggre-
CATION, such as the White Sox are
supposed to be, and that Joe Tinker
has failed to get anywhere with the
Cubs, the chances are that both pi-
lots will be given the gate.
II is true that the Cubs have shown
very little Of the winning stuff under
Tinker, but at the same time it is
considered improbable that the out
fit would have done any better under
another manager Another angle to
Joe's in-bad situation is tie remem-
brance of his desertion of the Nation
al league for the Feds. It's said that
more than one National league mac
nate is still sore at Sir Joseph for
his hurdling act. If this be true, the
said magnates undoubtedly will see
to 1t that the exit for Joe is marked
in letters six feet high.
In Rowland's case conditions are
different. He is blamed for the back
sliding Of the White Sox after they
had grabbed the topmost rung of the
American league pennant ladder. The
White Sox are credited with possess
ing FASTENERS Of as high class as any
to be found on the big league map.
Yet the team has not arrived after
being picked as the right number for
the last two seasons. So it seems
that Rowland's trouble lies in his
failure to make championship team
out OF championship timber.
Jones Holds On.
In St. Louis Fielder Jones has been
proclaimed the Moses to lead the
Browns out OF the wilderness. Unless
all signs fail Fielder will direct the
Browns again next year and will have
under his care full-grown, regular
big yard outfit.
What's on the minds OF the Car
dinals' owners is mystery. They're
not talking. Perhaps Miller Higgins
may again lead the Cards and then
again perhaps he may not. In some
quarters it is whispered that the
Cards are to be renovated and re-
built from pilot to bat boy.
Among the other major league clubs
in the west there are no outward and
visible signs at present to indicate
any managerial changes in prospect
at Cleveland, Cincinnati, Detroit or
Pittsburgh.
Among the eastern clubs it is re-
garded Is pretty safe bet that new
will take charge of the New
York Giants and the Boston Red Sox.
There is also believed to exist re-
mote possibility that the Braves will
fight for the 1917 pennant under the
guiding hand Of a new pilot. Al
though it has been denied by all con-
cerned, some Of the wise ones still
persist that President Haughtoa will
resign and allow Manager George
Stallings to tackle the job of presi-
dent of the Braves. Should this dope
run true, Fred Mitchell is most likely
to be given the managerial berth vaca-
ted by Stallings.
Carrigcn Will Retire.
Manager Bill Carrigan has repeat
eddy declared Of late that he is
with the game and proposes
in future, to devote his whole time
to Lis grocery business in Lewiston,
Me. Bill AYERS that his outside bust
ness interests have grown to such
proportions that it will no longer be
possible for him to remain in BASE
ball. Should he make good his threat
to retire it will be hard blow for the
Red Sox. They might select leader
from among Jack Barry, Heinie Wag-
ner or Patsy Donovan, the Buffalo
hero, but there's heap of difference
between trying out ew manager
and having an old hand, like the de-
pendable Bill, at the helm.
Owners OF the New York National
league club declare that McGraw will
continue to manage tn, team, not
withstanding the big rumpus during
the last New York-Brooxlyn series,
when Mr.. McGraw is said to have ac-
cused his Giants OF having struck a
streak Of yellow in them as wide as
the Yellow Sea. But despite the de-
clar;tions of the club owners, the
Gotham fans have john "parcel-post-
ed" for parts unknown. The majority
Of them believe that McGra'v will
never again boss the Giants. His con-
tract expires this year and he is said
to have ilattering offers to pilot other
teams. Then, again, after that "bawl-
ing out" in Brooklyn, the Giants and
John would be likely to get along to-
gether about as tremendously as
fox terrier and a strange cat. \
