NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-Seven of the
 l6 clubs in the major leagues, three { in the National and four in the Amer ican, will take the field for the 1921 campaign under the leadership of new managers. The opening of nearly ev- . cry baseball season finds one or two new managers. but il is a long time since there has been such a general shakeup among the field generals of 1 the major league clubs. ! With all the changes of leaders that have been made from year to year, there are two managers who stand out prominently in the history of baseball ' because Of their long service with their respective clubs-Connie Mack i of the Philadelphia Athletics and John J. MCGraw of the New York Giants. Mack has led the Athletics since they entered the American | League in 1901 and has won six pen nantS and three worlds champion ships. McGraw became manager of the Giants in 1902. and like Mack, has piloted his teams to six pennants but has won the worlds champion ship only once.
 | One of the most notable changes among the managers for the coming | season is the appointment of Ty Cobb 10 lead the Detroit Tigers as the sue cessOr of Hushey Jennings. The latter 1 quit the Tigers after If years, during which he won three pennants. to be- { come assistant 10 Manager McGraw of the Giants What Cobb will do as a major league manager will be closely
 watched by the fans througnouJ the 1 country. As a player he has won about every honor the game affords with the exception of playing on worlds championship team anc has
 been proclaimed by all one or the ! greatest players in the history or oase-
 ball, and by some Of the greatest. : While Ty is not the Cobb of few
 years ago he still is great player
 and il remains to be seen what effect. | ii any. the duties of manager will have upon his playing. Like Iris | Speaker. manager of the worlds i champion Cleveland team, Cobb will l continue to play center field, and he and Speaker will be the only playing managers in the major leagues. They
 also are said to be the highest paid active players in the game, each draw
 
 gers. In addition Speaker is said to
 have received an interest in the Cleve-
 land club for winning the first pen nant and worlds championship for the city.
 Another change of managers that ended a long career of leadership on
 the diamond was that of the Wash 1 ington club. Clark Griffith, who has
 become principal owner of the club, club, turned over the managerial
 duties to his able lieutenant. George Mcbride, for many years shortstop of the team Griffith managed the Washington club for nine years and
 previous to that had served as mana ger of the Chicago White Sox, the New York Yankees and the Cincinna- ti Club. Griffith now will devote all his time to the executive business of the club which he is president Me Bride began his major league career
 with Washington in 1908 and played
 shortstOp until year or two ago. Hugh Duffy. famous as an outfielder
 and batter several years ago, will lead
 the Boston Red Sox as the successor of Edward G. Barrow The latter, who manase the Red Sox three years. win DtHdhA MOiiQ - pionship, is now business manager of
 the New York Yankees.
 Lee Fohl, a former manager of the
 Cleveland team, will lead the St.
 Louis Browns in succession to Jimmy
 Burke, who has signed as coach of the
 Red. Sox.
 6lianges of managers in the Ma
 tional League involve the Boston, 1vN1,, .ln,r,s.
 George Stallings gave, up the manage
 ment Of the BoS.on Braves after eight ,l years to become president and mana ger ofthe Rochester club of the New
 InternationaI League. It is coinci-
 dence that Stallings will be succeeded
 as manager Of the Braves by Fred Mitchell, who was his chief assistant ' and coach when the Braves made , their remarkable showing in 1914. Mitchell has been manager of the Chicago Cubs for the last four years
 and piloted his club to the National League pennant in 1918.
 He will be succeeded by Johnny Evers, whose appointment has been approved generally by the Chicago
 fans Evers gained all his fame on the diamond while playing with the Cubs. having joined the team in 1902. z He became the regular second base man the next year and continued in that position to the end of the 1913 season.
