rattle around the revolving cage for
six days and six nights. which proves
that a bike riders brains must be on

yonr lungs upholstered with dust.
Hang up, your overcoat for second

you the trouble of checking it during
"a long and dreary winter.

He is confident and expects to win

Won the Oimpics.
Gus represented the bo1shevists at
the OlimpicS held in Vodka. On the
last lap his whiskers caught in his
pedals and he wound himself up like
cuckoo clock. Abian Wallgren,
the Swedish punch, demonstrator,
won the race by nose. Rofiie Zei-

Managers Are
Shaken Up in
LII ANiJ
Changes Made in Several
Teams and Others Are in
Prospect - 1921 Season
Stalling's Last.

New York, Nov. 20.-A general
shakeup of managers in the major
leagues is under way. Already
changes have been made or are
about to be made in six of the teams,
and there are signs that when the
1921 season rolls around there will
be new faces at the helms of ma
jority of the teams.
The season OF 1921 will likely see
the passing of George Stallings. the
Miracle Man" of base ball--the man
who pulled the Braves from the Gel
lar to worlds championship. Many
critics, however. believe that the man
chiefly responsible was Johnny
Evers. the peppery Grab" who, with
Maranville, was the infeld stone
wall OF the champion Braves.
Evers Going to Cubs.
Evers is going back to his first
love-the Cubs. He is going to try
his hand once again in managing that
team. He had one trial at it before,
and failed.
Hughie Jennings is back in the
National league. The former Tiger
leader is, going to act as Johnny
McGraW's assistant in the matter Of
handling the Giants. Jennings, how
ever, will practically be manager of
the team He will take the place
held by Evers.
Evers deserves the credit for the
G&nts sbgame fight. 1t is Known that
McGraW. is tired of hvndling the
managerial reins. He is interested,
financially, in the club, and wants to
take up the executive end of the
game.
Robinson Booked With Dodgers.
When there was talk of Wilbert
Robinson going to the Yankee he
said: Colonel Huston and Colonel
Rupert are. both personal friends
of mine and personal friendship
Should not enter into my going to
the Yankees" Now Robinson is
booked for three years more with
the Dodgers. 1t is the first time he
has signed longtime contract with
the club. but he had it coming to
him after bringing two pennants to
Brooklyn in FIVE years. Miller Hug
gins will remain at the helm of the.
Yankees.
Ed Barrow. manager OF the Red
Sox, has gone to the Yankees to act
as business manager.
In Philadelphia Cactus Cravath is
firing of the game and new man
ager may be selected for the Phil
lies. Clark Griffith of the Senator'S,
now that he is a part owner of the
Washington team, also wants to
give up the managerial reins.
Of course, there will be no change
in Cleveland and Cincinnati, where
Iris Speaker and Pat Moran
brought the only pennants and
worlds championship to the Ohio
teams. In Detroit it is expected that
TK Cobb will succeed Hughie Jen-
nings. Fans in Deroit believe that
Ty can do equally as we'll as a play
ing manager as did, Iris Speaker.

held motionless, standing, and then
as the players separated after the
whistle, he fell over the goal line for
what Appeared to be a touchdown.
