ONLY THREE NEW
|. MANAGERS IN 1918
Huggins, Hendricks and Bar
row Well Known Figures in
Base Ball World.

The custom of changing managers
in the middle Of the winter, which
| was so much in vogue few years ago,
is rapidly disappearing. The whole
sale changes in managers. which used
to feature the doings of the winter
leagues, appear to be following the
playing managers into the base ball
discard. About four or five years ago
it was a regular thing for about half
of the clubs to start each spring with
new pilots. Cincinnati. the Browns,
the Yankees, Braves, Red Sox and
Cubs (since the days of Frank Chance)
made speciality of changing managers
on the slightest provocation, but since
the war and the general unsettled
conditions in base ball the tendency
is to stick to the manager of the previ-
Gus season.
There are only three managerial
changes this winter, and all except one
were due to force of circumstances.
Bill Donovan, the former Yankee lead
er. was the only manager to be fired"
to Donovan. only two men have
been forced to give up their COM
mands since the close of the 1916 sea-
son: Joe Tinker. formerly of the Cubs.
the Pirates, last fall This is the low
water record for firing managers in
the big leagues.
New Major League Managers.
The new managers for the coming
season are Miller Huggfns of the Yam
KEGS, Ed Barrow of the Boston Red
Sox and Jack Hendricks of the St
Louis Cardinals. To this list also
,ierh od6 n
Pirates. as the hefty chicagoan will
be starting his first full season In
charge Of the Pittsburgh club. He re-
lieved Callahan last August
As has been said, all except one OF
the new appointments were due to
emergencies. Rupert decided to let
out Donovan in New York and
offered the post to Higgins. who led
years previous. When Huggins ac-
cepted Ruppert's offer ST. Louis was
left without a manager. and Branch
Hickey filled the vacancy by hiring
Jack Hendricks. who had acquired
quite little fame as a minor league
manager.
As Jack Barry. manager of the Bos-
ton Red Sox last year, has enlisted In
the Navy President Frazee of the Bos-
ton club offered the post to Ed Barrow,
for Ave years president of the Inter
national League and former manager
of the Detroit Tigers: The appoint
ment of Barrow was the biggest sur
prise of the winter league season
Though Barrow says he has been en-
gagged as the permanent manager of
the Boston club, 1t is understood that
with the return of peace Barry will
be given his old post ana Barrow will
be transferred to the business end of
the Boston club and may be made pres
ident
Miller Higgins Task.
Miller Higgins tackles a queer prob
lem in New York. He has inherited
team which finished sixth last season,
but on which thousands of dollars have
been spent since Rupert and Huston
acquired the club in the winter of
1914-15. 1t is estimated that the Yam
KEGS spent close to s150.000 in buying
players to strengthen the team, and a
the end of three years the Yankees fin
ished in the same position as the sea-
son before Rupert took over the club.

Every Effort to. Stop Amer
leans in Their Advances
Put Forth.

With the American Troops in
France, Oct. 23.-(Correspondence
Of the Associated Press)-Nothing
attests more completely the bitter
ness with which the Germang have
opposed the Americans everywhere
in France than the utter complete
ness with which the terrain over
which the two armies have fought,
have been destroyed. churned by
shells. imutilated beyond n imme-
date hope of, restoration.
This was true even in portions
Of the st. Mihtel salient for notwith-
standing that the Germans fairly
ran to their famous Hindenburg line
they did hold along the western. edge
Of the sector and by the time the
Americans had been able to take it
fields asunder, the roads had been
wrecked almost beyond repair by in
territorial enemy agencies as we'll as
by American artillery. What was
left Of the buildings and dugouts
once inhabited by the Germans had
beer blown and smashed and crush
ed to a tangled mass of wreckage.
1t is in the center Of the line be-
tween the Meuse river and the Ar
gonne forest, however, where the
fighting has been bitterest, that the
destruction is most complete, where
every handiwork Of God and man has
been desecrated as one could not be-
0sve without seeing it could be de-
stroyed. Flanders may be worse as
the English claim. but it is doubtful
because there was not as much there
to destroy, to blast and to wither.
The only comparison perhaps, is
In the fertile Champagne where more
than four years of attacks and coun-
ter attacks, bombardment and coun-
ter bombardment have reduced every
dwelling and building to a series OF
craters and have bitten off every
stumps minus branches or leaves.
