Jimmy did better this time, you
see he was older in the game SO
his term of life was three full sea
sons. Then Clarence Rowland, who
had never been heard of by many
of the fans in the Windy City, was
brought over from Dubuque and
given the team to handle. Right
of the reel he made a reputation
for himself, as he took a seventh
place team and finished with them
in third position. The following
year he landed the team In second
place and then-then what did he
do? Finish first and also the world
championship.
That looked like a life Job for
the Bush Lacquer as he was called,
but he fell of the band wagon in
1918 and he dropped to sixth place
curtain. Then his old side kick,
who many claimed had been the
real cause OF the Sox winning the
highest honors in baseball, Kid
Gleason, was found to be the new
manager when the team began its
1919 season. He won the flag in
the American League but he was
not as successful as Rowland, as he
failed to outmatch that other Irish
man. Pat Moran of the Cincinnati
Reds last fall.
