AYEW YORK, Nov. 19.-Major
~ league managers who fin
ished the 1921 season at the
helms of the sixteen big league clubs
seem pretty sure of their jobs for
another season.
Unless present signs fail there
will be no managerial shifts and II
this holds true the coming winter
will set a record, as there has never
been "hot stove" season in which
one or more managers heads were
not Topped off.
Last winter there were several
changes. Johnny Evers took Fred
Mitchells place at Chicago and
Mitchell succeeded George Stallings
at Boston. Wild Bill Donovan came
out Of the International League to
manage the Phillies. Hughie Duffy
stepped into Ed Barrow's boots at
Boston and Tyrus Cobb succeeded
Hugh Jennings at Detroit. At Wash
ington Clark Griffith retired to the
business OF being a club president
and appointed George Mcbride to
handle the reins of the Senators.
Two Managers Done.
Two Of the managers installed last
winter failed to last out the season.
Evers being succeeded at Chicago
by Bill Killefer and Donovan being
dropped by the Phillies in favor Of
Irving Wilhelm. The owners Of the
Cubs and Phillies have announced
that Killefer and Wilhelm will pilot
their 1922 entrants in the big show
and the rest of the managers are
apparently securely anchored.
McGraw On the Job.
Rumors to the contrary. John Nc
Graw will be the guiding spirit Of
the Giants again next year. He
may take Johnny Evers back to as
sist Hugh Jennings in coaching the
team, but in the heat of the pen
nant~ race McGraw will be on the old
bench. telling 'em what to do.
Rumors that Huggins was to he
deposed have quieted down since the
world series. Just how the Yankee
Colonies could let Huggins go after
he won a pennant for them and
made a hot fight in the world series
against the Giants IL a point that a
good many critics cannot fathom
and, generally speaking they agree
that Higgins stands better. than an
even chance to stay.
Gotham Ii O. X.
Uncle Wilbert Robinson. popular
and in great demand by Brooklyn
fans, can scarcely be sacrificed by
the Brooklyn club even though he
might want to 60 elsewhere. 30 the
three New York clubs are seemingly
set in q managerial way.
Hugh Duffy and Fred Mitchell de.
livered at Boston and will stick
Connie Mack is not thinking Of tyinG
the can to himself at Philadelphia
and Wilhelm is signed for 1922.
Mcbride Solid.
George Mcbride did very well with
the Senators. He Is solid with Grit
fifth. George Gibson. though he
stood on shaky ground when his
team was beaten out by the Giants
looks like a good bet to manage the
Pirates again, and Pat Moran 4,
firmly rooted in Cincinnati.
Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker are
prime favorites in Detroit and Cleve
return to Chicago, and hickey and
Fohl will be found at the helms OF
the Cards and Browns. This &C
counts for all of the managers. and
it looks sure that all will b leading
rockies and regulars toward thu
training camps in March.
