the American. will take the field
for the 1921 campaign under the
leadership of new managers. The
opening of nearly every baseball
season finds one or two new man
ayers, but it Is long time since
there has been SUCH a general
shakeup among the field generals
of 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 his
tory of baseball because of 'taeir
long service with their respective
Mack of the Phi
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 pennants
and three worlds championships.
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.
Cobb To Be watched.
One of the most notable changes
among the managers for the com
Ty Cobb to lead the Detroit Tigers
as the successor of Hughey Jen-
nings. The latter quit the T gers
after IA years, during WHICH he
won three pennants, to become
assistant to Manager McGraw of
the Giants. What Cobb will do as
a major league manager will be
closely watched by the fans
throughout the country. AS play
er he has won about every honor
the game affords with the excep-
pionship team, and has been pro-
claimed by all one of the greatest
players in the history of baseball,
and by some the greatest.
While Ty is not the Cobb of a
few years ago, he still is a great
player and it remains to be seen
what effect, if any, the duties of
manager viii have upon his play
ing. Like Iris Speaker, manager
of the worlds champion Cleveland
team, Cobb will continue to play
center field. and he and Speaker
will be the only playing MANAGE
in the major leagues. They also
are said to be the highest paid
active players in the game, each
drawing salaries both as players
and managers. In addition, Speak
er is said to have received an in
terest in the Cleveland club for
the first pennant and
worlds championship for the city.
Old Fox Retires.
Another change of managers
that ended a long career of lead
ership on the diamond was that
of the Washington club. Clark
who has become principal
owner of the club, turned over the
duties to his able lieu
tenant, George Mcbride, for many
years shortstop of the team. Grit
tith managed the Washington club
for nine years and previous to that
had served as manager of the Chi
cago White Sox, the New York
Yankees and the Cincinnati club.
now will devote all his
lime to the executive business of
he club of which he is president.
Mcbride began his major league
'areer with Washington in 1908,
Ind played shortstop until a year
)r two ago.
Hugh Duffy, famous as an out
fielder and batter several years
lgo, will lead the Boston Red Sox !
Is the successor of Edward G. |
3arrow. The latter, who managed
he Red Sox three years, winning
pennant and a worlds cham
is now business mana
'er of the New York Yankees.
Lee Foil, former manager of
he Cleveland team, will lead the
i. Louis Browns in succession to
immy Burke, who has signed as
zach Of the Red Sox.

He will be succeeded by Johnny

hicago fans. Evers gained all his

The Philadelphia Nationals will
