Duties.
ny DANIEL.

When the major league baseball sea-
son opens on April 13 there will be
six new managers in the field, but Of
these only one will be entirely new to
the duties in the higher company.
That man is Tyrus r. Cobb. the Detroit
outfielder. who will enter upon man
agerial labors for the first time any
where.
There will. be three new managers
in the National League-Johnny Evers
in Chicago, Wild Bill Donovan in Phil
adelphia and Fred Mitchell in Boston.
There will be a similar number of new
leaders in the American League. In
addition to Cobb, there will be Hughey
Duffy in Boston, and, without doubt,
Lee Fohl in st. Louis. Fohl has not
vet been announced as the successor
of Jimmy Burke, but 1t is taken for
granted in the Mound City that the
former leader of the Clevelands, who
did fine work as coach with the
Browns last season, will be at the
helm In 1921.
1t will be noted that among the six
teen major league managers there
will be only two playing leaders, and
both Of them in the American League.
There will be Cobb in Detroit and
Speaker in Cleveland, both centre
ficlders.

Evers is back in Chicago, where he
attempted managerial duties some years
ago, when he was off form physically.
Mitchell goes from Chicago, where the
owners say he was a disappointment,

of George Stallings. who has become
owner and manager in Rochester. Mitch

world. Boston likes Mitchell and Mitch
ell likes Boston.
John j. McGraw. of course, remains
IN New York, where tis name is syn
onomous Wit LAT of the Giants. But
he will havs new assistant. Hughey
Jennings. who resigned the job in De-
troit. will help McGraw. Last season
Matty was McGraw's assistant and then
Evers.
In Brooklyn Wilbert Robinson will try
to win another pennant without an

All Bench Managers.

In the National League every manager
will run his team from the bench. This
marks the extinction of the playing

While Cravath played very little he went
