last game OF the series is the new
pilot.
Even while the series was on these
stories were famed about
1t was even said that Huggins had
agreed TO manage the St Louis Car
dinals late in the race last year when
he was forced almost to resign by an
insurrection OF the players.
After the second western trip OF
the club had started It was reported
and il seemed quite apparent, that
Huggins was the manager in name
only.
He never appeared on the field and
Ruth and Peck did most OF the di-
recting.
Higgins contract has expired. The
health Of the mite manager has been
none too good and it is understood
that this will be the loophole to let
him out gracefully.
The experience OF the Yankee pilot
has been anything but pleasant In
New York. and perhaps he would
not object to chance to get on
some other club after he has shown
his ability in the big town.

Thousands OF people bareheaded.
