New York, Feb. 14.-Scven OF the
sixteen clubs in the major leagues
three in the National and four in the
American, will take tho field for the
1921 campaign under the leadership
of new managers. The opening OF
nearly every baseball season finds one
or two new managers, but 1t is Il long
time since there has been such gen
cral 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 sttthu
out prominently in the history of
baseball because OF their long service
with their respective clubs-Connic
Mack of the Philadelphia Athletics
and John j. McGraw of the New
York Giants. Mack has led the Ath-
lctics since they entered the American
League in 1901 and has won SIN pen
nants and three worlds champion
ships. McGrAw became manager of
Tho Giants in 1902, and like Mack, has
piloted his teams TO six pcnnants, but
has won the worlds championship
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
ccssor OF Hushey Jennings. The
latter quit the Tigers after ii years
during which he won three pcnnants'
to become assistant to Manager NC
Graw of the Giants. What Cobb VIII
do as a major league manager Will
bc closely watched by the fans thru
out the country. As Il player he has
won about every honor the game al
lords with the exception of playing
on a worlds championship team, and
has been proclaimed by all one OF the
greatest players in tho history of
l.s.a- ,k,aII 1,I hNr hn
While Ty is not the Cobb of "A few
years ago he still is a great player and
1t remains TO be seen what effect, II
any. the duties of manager Will have
upon his playing. Like Iris Speak
cr manager of the worlds champion
Cleveland team, Cobb will continue to
play center field. and nc 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 drawing
salaries both as players and manaS-
ers- In addition Speaker is said to
have received an interest in the Clevc-
land club for winning the first pen
nant and worlds championship lor
the city.
Another change OF managers that
ended "A long career of leadership on
the diamond was that OF the Washing
ton club. Clark Griffith. who has be-
como principal owner of the club, turn
cd over the rnan3Gerial duties TO his
able lieutenant, George Mcbride, FOR
many years ssortstcp OF the team
Griffith managed the Washington cup
for nine years and previous to that
had served as manager OF the Chicago
White Sox. the New York Yankees
and tho Cincinnati club. Griffith now
will devote all his time to the cNccu-
tive business OF tho club of which he
IS president. Mcbride began his major
league career with Washington In 1908
and played shortstop until a year or
two ago.
Hugh Duffy, famous as an outficldor
and batter several years ago, will lead
the Boston sRsd SoN as the successor
o. Edward c. Barrow. Tho latter. who
managed the Rcd SoS three years,
winning a pennant and worlds
championship. is now business man
aEer OF tho New York Yankees.
Ice Fohl. former manager OF tho
Cleveland team. will lead tho ST. Louis
Browns in succession to Jimmy Burke.
who has signed as coach OF tho Red
Soy.
Changes of Managers in tho National
League involve the Bostou. ChicaE go
and Philadelphia clubs. George Stall
in=s gave up the management or the
Boston Braves after eight years to be-
como president and manager OF tho
