Fans figured that If tho match had

and Captain Christy Mathewson will
confer during the week regarding a
berth for Matty with the Giants next
season There still is doubt whether
Big Six will return to the club with
which he won his greatest triumphs,
for Matty is accustomed to drawing
a big salary. much larger than the
Giants desire to pay for a coach.
1t is really the money that stands
in the way OF Mathewson's return.

OF the Reds. Matty drew a salary In
excess of $1,000 a year, and it is
reported that the Redland officials
were unwilling to renew Matty's con-

McGraw appreciates the box office

good business to give him almost as

RACE FOR ALL
NATIONS PLAN
Turfman Want America S
Cup for Thoroughbred
Test at Derby Distance.

New York, Feb. 24.-Now that the
war is over the way is cleared for
an international horse race such as
suggested a few years ago to test
the speed and stamina Of the Ameri-
can thoroughbred in competition
with representatives of England
and France and perhaps also Aus
tralia and the Argentina Republic.
That race arranged on lines
similar to the memorable contests
for the Americas Cup in yachting
and the International Trophy in
polo would be of worldwide in
saying, and that il would strength
en- sports of the turf in every cOun-
try where race horses are raised
seems equally certain. Progressive
hOrsemen identified with the Jockey
club are known to favor the ambi-
tious sporting project and there is
ground for hope that II may take
shape before another racing season
opens.
II an international race is arranged
T. pr, babIy will be either for three
year-olds TO run n Derby distance
one mile and half-or for horses
Of all ages TO cover a cup course N
lwo miles and a half, carrying weight
for age. The prize will be worthy Of
the occasion-probably more valuable
than any other turf event in The
world. with a gold or silver trophy
like the Americas Cup or the Inter
national Polo Cup in addition to the
stakes. which the winning nation
would hold until successfully ChalleuE-
Cd. II the prize were offered by the
Jockey Club it would mean that the
first race would take place in Amer
ica. probably at Belmont Park, on
Long Island, where the equipment is
unrivaled for such an event as q
great international race. though far
short of what would be required 10
accommodate a monster crowd such
as the race should attract TO New
y Nork from all parts OF the country
and the world.
TO give a true international charac-
ter to the contest it is likely that
entries from individuals would not be
received, but that a representative
racing organization like the Jockey
Club would in each country be the
sponsor for the horse or horses en-
tered. And to make sure of starting
its best horse it is not unlikely that
each nominator would be permitted
to name at the post, or within a day
or two before the race, so that II one
horse. was ailing or of another
might be substituted. as was done in
some of the great sectional races be-
tween the North and the South at the
Union Course on Long Island almost

Milan Now Ready;
Lynch Signs Again;
Holding Up Davy

Clyde Milan, veteran out
fielder of Griff's Nationals does
not desire to be placed in the
class of ''holdouts" as in a let
ter to the Old Fox yesterday he
said that he was satisfied with
terms offered, but before sign
ing he desired to talk over his
contract.
With Milan satisfied, it only
means that he is looking for a
bonus providing he can reach a
certain figure in the batting per-
centage which should be around
the 300 mark. The Tennessee
flyer will visit this city in less
than a month and at train time
for the regulars to take the
hike South it is a sure bet that
Clyde will be in line.
Adrian Lynch one of the tribe
of "CuCkoos" with Clark Grif-
fith's Nationals in Georgia last
spring yesterday signed his
contract and claims to be a
regular major league pitcher

perience gained while a Dough-

fandom on the Nationals obtain

tiOnal New York Giant out

trio of National League man
ayers have refused to waiver

will not play with any club in
the National League and al
though tho chances arc very
remote of these mHnag gers lift
ing the waiver there is still
some hopes OF him falling in

new MANAGERS
FOR BIC SHOW
Reds, Phillies, Cards and
White Sox Start Season
with Strange Pilots.

New York. Feb. 24.-Big league
managers come and go between
fading and blooming seasons.
Scarcely a year goes by that fails
to see one or more managerial air
castles blown to the winds, and
the winter season of 191S-19 has
run true to form.
Four of the sixteen major league
clubs will epter the coming pen
nant races with new pilots at their
helms. The Reds, Phillies, Card
lnals and White Sox will launch
their pennant campaigns next sum
mer with strange hands holding
the reins
Three Of the four changes cf-
feCted this winter have caused much
Commcnt-mostly unfavorabIe COM
ment-amOnE baseball observers.
The cases of Pat Moran. Jack Hen
bricks and Clarence Rowland have
been argued pro and con.
ROwland'S release by Charley
Cumlskcy was a surprise, inasmuch
as the dapper little former Son
leader was thought to be "in" with
the Old Roman. Apparently. to the
outsider, ROwland's release was uu-
deserved. He pilotcd the world
champions OF 1917 for Comiskcy.
and nc had a host Of friends in the
majors. friends he won for him
self But the indicator swcrved
rom Rowland to Kid Gleason, sea-
SoCed and highly deserving vet
cran. And the fans did not have
to read between the lines to see
that COmisllcy credited Gleason
with the success Of his club in
i917, and the fact that it fell down
last season after Gleason had re-
fused to return as coach. Yet on
the face of things Rowland did
not deserve his release.
Fat Moran, with one pennant and
two sccondplacc finishes at Phila-
delphia in four years. scarcely de
served the treatment he got Pats
trouble started and ended with the
sale Of Alexander and killifcr to the
cubs. But Pat is now the pilot Of
the Reds, succeeding Christy Math-
cwson. who has been more or less
IL failure as a manager. and it's our
guess that Jack Coombs is welcome
TO AIoran's old job as far as Moran
can sec it.
Jack Hendricks, now returned to
indianapolis after a disastrous sea-
son with the Cardinals. did not have
a fair trial as a major league man
aEer. The claim is made that Hen
bricks lacks the ability to handle
men: that he docs not savvy tho
method of getting the best out Of
big league prima donnas. While his
record in the minors would tend to
prove that he knows how to handle
players and develop them, it got him
nothing at St. Louis
Such is the life of tho big league
