 of the game one finds that John McGraw and George Stallings are the -only Ma tonal leaguers who still retain the jobs they held five seasons ago. All the oth- CTS have skidded from their old places. Charlie Dooin, at the helm of the Phil lies in 1913, was deposed in 1915 by Pat Moran. And Pat was supplanted by Jack Coombs about month ago. Bill Dahlen, manager of the Dodgers in 1913, was sue ceeded by Wilbert Robinson. Miller Hug gins stayed at the helm of the Cardinal craft until the end of 1917. Then Huggins accepted an offer from the Yankees. Jack Hendricks took charge or the Cardinals but short while ago was let out of his job and Branch Hickey will lead the team in 1919
 After Fred Clarke quit the game in 1915, Jimmy Callahan took a whirl with the 1916 Pirates. He failed and during the middle of the 1917 season was let out. Hans Wagner managed for 1O-day period and then along came Hugo Bezdek, who still holds the title.
 The Reds and Cubs have been very much managed since 1913.
 Johnny Evers handled the reins for the Chicago crew in 1913 but was side-tracked the following winter and Hank ODay blassomed forth as the Chicago leader in 1914 ODay gave way to Roger Bres- nahan in 1915 and Bresnahan was sue ceeded by Joe Tinker. The latter was not a success and Fred Mitchell took the job in 1917. Joe Tinker was the Rhine land leader in 1913. Along came Charlie Herzog who remained as boss through 1914. 1915, and part of 1916. Christy Math- ewson succeeded Herzog and lasted un- til the end of the 1918 season. And now Pat Moran is the manager of the most managed team in baseball" The situation in the American league lis but little different. The only surviv- | ors of the 1913 managerial battalion are Hughie Jennings, Connie Mack and Clark Graffith.
 | Jimmy Callahan, who had charge of the I 1913 White Sox, was "fiivver." He was succeeded in 1915 by Clarence Rowland The latter held over until the end Of l the 1918 season, and now William Gleason ] is the White Sox boss.
 !, The Yankees have been considerably
 managed in the past five seasons. Frank l Chance who guided the Yankees in 1913, 1 quit during the 1914 season Roger Peck | npaugh took a whirl at the job and then was succeeded by Bill Donovan, who was not able to accomplish anything in l9lo' 1 1916 or 1917, and was followed by Miller | Huggins in 1918. The Browns have had
 three managers in five years. Hickey, who
 was leader of the team in 1913, remained | in charge until the end of the 1915 sea son. In 1916 Fielder Jones made his debut. He lasted two seasons and now
 James Burke is attempting to lead the Brownies into the promised land. l Joe Birmingham, the 1913 manager of | the Indians, was replaced in midseason
 of 1915 by Lee Fohl, who still holds the | iob Bill Carrigan, who gained undyine fame for himself and the Red Sox, quit ! the game at the end of the 1916 season
 and Jack Barry took his place. Barry l couldn't win a pennant but in the fol- flowing season Ed Barrow, who was his successor, turned the trick. Barrow is tc take another chance in 1913.
 Here is the list which shows the big league managers of 1915 and those of to- day:
