JONES WILL QUIT
As BROWNS PILOT
1t Is Announced That st. Louis Leader
Does Not Expect To Report
Next Year.

Chicago, Nov. From source
quite adjacent to Fielder Jones it was
learned the manager of the st. Louis
Browns does not expect to return next
year to the task of bossing the Mound
City outfit.
While no official announcement has
been made of James intention to retire
again from baseball, and it probably
will be officially denied, it is known
that President Ball of the Browns is
aware of his managers sentiments re-
garding the situation and is quietly
scouting for Jones successor. Desire
to escape the flock of applicants who
viii seek the job, once it is known q
vacancy exists, is the chief reason for
not making public the fact that q
change in management is likely.
The lack OF success that has attend
ed his efforts 10 turn out winning
team in st. Louis is said to be the sole
reason for Jones decision TO retire and
confne his future endeavors to bust
ness. The relations between Presi-
dent Bah and Manager Jones are af.
frmed to be friendly and the club own
er does not hold the manager respons
ible for the poor showing of the
Browns in the last two seasons. In tht
/ season Just closed. for instance. thu
( ST. Louis team was riddled for til,
! greater part Of the race by accidents
and the illness Of players on whom
much dependence was placed
! In spite of the appearance of tact
turnity and Indifference to criticism
maintained by Fielder Jones those whit
know him well are aware that he il
extremely sensitive and one of til
hardest losers the game ever pro
duced. Although not Indifferent t.
! money, he is the kind of man VIII
would sacrifice part OF his salary an

the personal dissatisfaction he feels i
