NEW MANAGERS
 INSTALLED IN BIG LEAGUES

NEW YORK, Feb. 25 (by Associat- ed Press).-Seveu of the 16 clubs in the major leagues, three in the Ma tional and four in the American, will take the field for the 1921 cam paign under the leadership of new managers. The opening of nearly every baseball season finds one or two new managers, but it is a long time since there has been such a general shakeup among the field gen. erals 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 ser vice with their respective clubs-Con- nie Mack of the Philadelphia Ath- letics and John J. McGraw of the l New York Giants. Mack has led the Athletics since they entered the American league in 1901 and has won six pennants and three worlds cham pionships. McGraw became manag- CT of the Giants in 1902, and like Mack, has piloted his teams to six pennants, 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 to lead the Detroit Tigers as the successor of Hughey Jennings. The latter quit the Tigers after 14 wears, during which he won three pennants, to become assistant to Manager McGraw of the Giants. What Cobb will do as major league man. ager will be closely watched by the fans throughout the country, As a player he has won about every hon. or the game affords with the excep- tion of playing on a worlds cham 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 few years ago he still is a great player and it remains to be seen what eff feet, if 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 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 managers. In addition Speaker is said to have re- ceived 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 the diamond was that of the Wash. ington club. Clark Griffith, who has become principal owner of the club, turned over the managerial duties to his able lieutenant, George Mcbride, for many years shortstop of the team Griffith managed the Wash ington club for nine years and pre- vious to that had served as manag- CT of the Chicago White Sox, the New York Yankees and the Cincin- nati club. Griffith now will devote all his time to the executive business of the club of which he is president Mcbride began his major league ca reer with Washington in 1908 and played shortstop until a year or two ago.
 Hugh Duffy, famous as an outfield- CT and batter several years ago, will lead the Boston Red Sox as the successor of Edward G. Barrow. The latter, who managed the Red Sox three years, winning a pennant and worlds championship, is now bus mess manager of the New York Yan- kees.
 Lee Fohl, 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.
 1 Changes of managers in the ma tional league involves the Boston, Chicago, and Philadelphia clubs. George Stalliags gave up the man. agement of the Boston Braves after eight years to become president and manager of the Rochester club of the New International league. It is coincidence that Sallings will be succeeded as manager of the Braves
