to get back to work in that time
and to all outside appearances was

But during the latter stages of
the pennant race Mac frequently

to reports from Buffalo last night,
he will spend part OF the coming
summer scouting for the Grins.
Grin spikes Rumor..
Rumors that Mac resigned under
pressure" which have received some
consideration in local baseball cir
cies. were spiked by Griffith during
the telephone conversation.
Grin insisted that he was per
fectly satisfied with BcBride's first
season as a manager The Old Fox
even went so far as to declare that
had O'Rourke's arm been in better
shape. and had Mcbride had the
services of another first class
beaver. he would not have been sur
prised to see his team at least as
high as second place at the end
CT the season.
Mcbride resigned Of his own
volition." said Griff. land though i
urged him to reconsider. Offering
him another month in which TO
change his decision. he refused"
Under the circumstances" Grin
continued, there was nothing
could do but accept his decision.
but you can say for me that even
though Mac believes the cares and
responsibilities of a manager too
heavy he will certainly be employed
in some capacity with the Washing
tor Club this season
One thing about Mr.. Grifith is
that he is always sincere. His boys
call him square shooter" There
fore, you can take IL for granted
that Mac resigned OF his own free
will. and that Griff is quite as sorry
as the fans that he will have 20

By RAY HELGESEN.

President Clark Grifith has no
thought of looking for a new man
ager to succeed George McBride'
who resigned yesterday afternoon
until after the first of the year ac-
cordinr to a statement made by the
Old Fox over the telephone from
Buffalo last night. During the con-
versatIon Griff asserted he has no
one in mind at the present time to
fill Macs shoes. but that immedi-
ately following the holidays he
would probably have a definite an
nouncement to make.
Whether GriR will follow his for
mer policy of raising one OF the
veterans of the team to the helm as
he did with Mcbride is proolemat-
ical. This question. even though
the appointment of new manager
is put off indefinitely. will almost
certainly be decided early in jan
uary. according to Grin's CONVERSE
ton last night.
Milan May Get Job.

Milan. too, is virtually through as
a big Lacquer as far as acuve service
is concerned. lie was undeniably
slipping fast last season. despite the
fact that at times his brilliancy Far
surpassed that OF any CT his buddies
in the outer garden.
The resignation of Mcbride was
as great surprise to President
Griffith as IL was to local follow
ers Of the Nationals. Up to yester-
day, when Griff met Mcbride in
Buffalo at the minors meeting, the
"Old Fox" had received no init
nation from Mac that he Intended
to tender his resignation.
Therefore. when Mac announced
his intention of quitting active
