AMERICAN ARTISTS
ASKED TO COMPETE
Uruguay invites Sculptors of America
to Submit Designs for "Gaucho"
Statue.

Washington, Feb. American
sculptors have been invited by the
Uruguayan government through the
American Union here to submit
designs for a statue of the "Gaucho,"
or South American cowboy, to be
erected in the principal plaza Of Mon
tevideo in commemoration in the part
played by these intrepid frontiersmen
in the development of Uruguay.
The prize offered is $4,000 pesos,
gold, or about $62,04O in American
money.
The Uruguayan gaucho, one of the
most picturesque characters in history,
represents a survival of the old Span

called the cowboy of South America,
he is more than that A horseman

French Canadian "habitant." he was

Indians lived, but was the pioneer of
white civilization on the pampas.

the immortal Peter Pan" in popular
ity. 1t is being played at the little
Everyman theatre at Hampstead,
where Mr.. Mormon Macdermott is
struggling in the face of many diff
culties to establish the repertOry idea
in London. There have been some
failures but in this delightful fantasy
the Everyman has scored a real tri-
umph. 1t is artistically produced by
Miss Edith Craig. who, like her moth
er, Ellen Terry, takes a deep interest
in Mr.. Macdermott's heroic expert

The story of the play expresses with
great charm and delicacy some as

idea underneath is so old as to be for
ever new. Through the Crack"-the

MAJOR LEAGUES TO
HAVE new PILOTS
First General Change for Many Years
Connie Mack and Johnnie Nc
Graw Remain With Clubs.
Nv A.soelatsd Prss.l

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-Seven OF the
is clubs In the major leagues, three
IN the National and four in the Amer
lean, viii 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 1t is a 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 history of baseball
because of their long service with
their respective clubs-Connie Mack
of the Philadelphia Athletics, and
John w. 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 team to six pennants, but
has won the worlds Championship only
once.
One OF the most notable changes
aEaong the managers for the coming
season is the appointment of Ty Cobb
10 lead the Detroit Tigers as the sue
cessor OF Hughey Jennings. The lat
ter quit the Tigers after fourteen
years, during which he won three
rAnnants, to become assistant to Man
ager McGraw of the Giants. What
Cobb will do as a major league mana
ger will be closely watched by the
fans throughout the country. AS a
the game affords with the exception
OF playing on a worlds championship
team, and has been proclaimed 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
II any, the duties OF manager will
have upon his playing. Like Iris
Speaker manager of the worlds
champion Cleveland team, Cobb will
continue to play center field, and he
and Speaker viii 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
ing salaries both as players and man
ayers. In addition, Speaker is said ia
have received an interest in the
Cleveland club for winning the first
pennant and worlds championship
for the city.
Another change of managers that
ended a long career of leadership on
tho diamond was that of the Wash
ington club. Clark Griffith, who has
become principal owner of the club
turned over the managerial diJtfes n
his able lieutenant, George Mcbride.
Tor many years shortstop OF the

ton team for nine years, and previous
to that had served as manager of the
Chicago White Sox, the New York
Yankees and. the Cincinnati club.
Griffith now will devote all his time
to the executive business of the club
of which he is president. Mcbride be-
gan his major league career with
Washington in 1908 and played short
stop until a year or two ago.
Hugh Duffy, famous as an outfield-
err and batter several years ago, will
lead the Boston Red Sox as the sue
cessor of Edward G. Barrow. The lat
ter, who managed the Red Sox three
years, winning a pennant and a
worlds championship, is now business
manager of the New York Yankees.
Lee Foil, former manager of the
Cleveland team, will lead the st. Lou
is Browns in succession to Jimmy
| Burke, who has signed as coach of
the Red Sox.
Changes OF managers in the Nation
al league involve the Boston, Chicago
and Philadelphia clubs. George Stall
ings gave up the management of the
Boston Braves after eight years to
become president and manager of the
| Rochester club of the new Interna-
tional league. 1t is coincidence that
Stallings will be succeeded as mana
ger Of the Braves by Fred Mitchell,
who was his chief assistant and coach
when the Braves made their remark
able 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 viii be succeeded by Johnny
J 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. He
became the regular second baseman
the next year, and continued in that
position to the end of the 1913 season
In the latter season he succeeded
Frank i Chance as manager, and
lasted one year. Evers was granted
his unconditional release and signed
with Boston, became captain of the
team, and was a big factor in the
Braves success of 1914. After Evers
year as manager of the Cubs, Hank
O'Day, the veteran umpire. Roger
Bresnahan and Joe Tinker each serv-
ed a year, and then came the four
year tenure of Fred Mitchell.
The Philadelphia Nationals viii be
managed next season by Bill Donovan
who will be the third manager since
Pat Moran was released. Moran was
succeeded by Jack Coombs, who gave
way in mid-season of the 1919 cam
! paign and was succeeded by Gavvy
| Cravath. The latter continued
| throughout last year and next season
will be with the Pacific Coast league
Donovan was one of the best pitchers
in baseball during the pennant win
ming years of the Detroit Tigers. He
was at one time manager of the New
York Yankees, and last year piloted
the Jersey City team Of the new In
ternational league.
