These are sure getting to be
rough days for managers, both the
large league variety and the small.
It's getting to be a dull afternoon
when some manager doesn't resign
or get the tin can. Yes, and in one
case a successful leader, Lee Foil,
turned in his ticket because the fans,
egged on by some wicked baseball
writer's, gave him the razz. Fee, fe,
fun, these are sure rough days.
Jack Coombs was the first to lose
his head, "Gavvy" Cravath being
chosen as the Phillies' goat Then
came the announcement that Iris
Speaker had succeeded Lee Foil as
manager Of the second-place Cleve-
land Indians, who are today just five
games behind the Chicago White Sox
Now the stuff has spread to the
minors. Frank Schultz, last year in

signed as manager Of the Binghamton
Internationals, saying he had tried his
best. but had failed. Schultz had been

Musser Starts Well.
Paul Musser, the blonde finger

start with the Red Sox against the
Tigers yesterday. He lost by a score
Of 2 to 1, but he held the smuggling
Jungaleers to seven hits and whitfield
seven. Two Of his seven walks were
costly, being followed by hits.
Toronto made it fifteen victories in
a row yesterday by cleaning up a
double-header with Reading. How
ever, Baltimore kept step by doing
likewise with Buffalo. Today Balti-
more is at Toronto and the Canucks
should draw big. for baseball is an
attraction in Toronto. Baltimore has

Base hits were needed to win. The
Griffs did not get a clean hit until
Zachary bounded a single to center in
the seventh. It was the second hit
OF Weilman. Murphy hunted safely
in the fifth for the first safety.

Harper's wildness again interfered
with his effectiveness. He gave five
passes in five innings and two walks,
really giving the Browns three runs.
Bronkie started the first with a pass
and scored on Jacobson's double. A
single by Williams scored Jacobson.
Gedeon opened the fifth with a walk,
and went to second on Jacobson's in
field out.

trade Walter Johnson is mentioned.
Early in the spring Griffith was wait .
ing to grab Bill Jacobson from the
Browns, but when Kenneth williams
was injured the Browns refused to
part with the husky right-handed
sWatter.
Jacobson showed Griff some tall
clubbing yesterday when he hit to
the left field wall for double and to
the center field fence for a triple
against south-paw pitching.
That's just what Griffith wants,
some one to hit to the fences when
the other fellow throws a southpaw
at him.

The Yankees, who came West leading

Athletics won 2 and lost II. The Ath-
letics won their two games from the
Browns. Uncertain baseball? Moth

take the injury to one Of the stars
Of the game, Clyde Milan. Where
would the Browns be with Sisler a
cripple? What about the White Sox
il they lost Eddie Collins. That's
what I'm pointing to-" said Griff.
The Griffs impressed the st. Louis
fans owing to their speed. They may
have too many left-handed hitters to
balance their attack. Facing South
paw Weilman yesterday they had but
five hits.
On the other hand they pounded
Wright, Gallia, and Shocker in Sun
days game. A good hitter at second
or short will give Griffith just what
he wants. and he has his eyes open for
this article, but he does not know
where he is going to draw the lucky
number.

examination OF the director general
tomorrow. At hearings next week,
A. +. Thorn, counsel of the associa-
tion of railway executives, will be
heard in opposition to the five year
extension plan
Reading long prepared state
ment, Mr.. McAdoo disclosed to the
committee that the aggregated gov
ernment compensation to all roads
for 1918 is calculated at little less
than 100000. 900: that this is
about $136.OOO.OOO more than the
railroads net income-this sum re-
presenting the deficiency which the
government Will have to pay. and
which Mr.. McAdoo said should be
considered war eXprnse-that
wage increases would amount to be-
tween 100000. 1000 and $7OO. OOO.-
900; and that the coal bin for 10
months last year was $I4,OOO.OO0
greater than for the same period Of
1917.
Mr.. McAdoo recited number OF
transportation reforms which he said
should be continued in the future.
These included pooling and cooper
alton among railroads to enlarge and
centralize terminal facilities. whose
cramping- under present conditions
he said is largely responsible for
traffic congestion and periodical
freight jams" Other advantageous
reforms suggested were the working
out of economies through eliminating
useless competition, common use OF
cars, locomotives, shops. ticket Of
fees, Standardization OF equipment,
elimination Of circuitous routes. and
in general operation OF the railroads
as national system instead Of as To-
cal competing units.
II am frank to say that do not
believe that these important reforms
can possibly be accomplished IL We
are to- have in the future several
hundred different railroad companies
as we have had in the past" con-
tinued the director general II be-
lieve they can all be accomplished
either through comparatively few
railroad companies or through single
federal control"
