 TO MANAGE TANKS NEXT SEASON

New York, Oct. .11-MiNer Huggins,
 manager of the New York Yankees, American league baseball champions, has been engaged to pilot the club in 1923, it was announced tonight. The decision, formal statement said, was reached at a meeting this after noon of Jacob Ruppert and T. L. Illus ton, owners of the Yankees.
 Although the clubs statement did not go into detail, MT. Ruppert as-
 serted that the action was taken to
 curb rumors that Huggins was to be busted as leader of the American league champions and also in recog- milton of his achievement in winning two consecutive pennants.
 ..Inasmuch as Huggins had won pen
 nants in 1921 and 1922, the only ones ever captured by the American league club here he certainly was deserving of being retained, MT. Ruppert de- clared. Furthermore. the club de- sired to put at rest rumors that Huggins was to be deposed and that other radical changes were to be

RUMOR OF "BALL-PLAYERS' UNION'
 DOES NOT DISTURB MAGNATES

New York, Oct. 11-Reports that Major League baseball players were orranizinE an association to present demands to the club owners and to call a strike next spring unless they were met. were not taken seriously bv Gotham magnates today.
 None denied the existence of a movement which has been under way sbo,it A year under the direction of T1svmond J. Cannon, lawyer of Chi caEo and Milwaukee, but all of them nrofessed ignorance of the move ment's present extent, its purpose and It's membership.
 From what can be learned, it ap- hears that the movement is based on inc dissatisfaction of some players with the manner in which Conmis- sioner Landis has handled their sRafrs. It Is said that the specific aims of the new association include representation on the advisory coun- ciL elimination of the ten-day clause in contracts and the establishing of d board of arbitration to hear players grievances
 Specific cases upon which this dis satisfaction is supposed to be based are said to include those of Eddie Roush. the Cincinnati star who held put TOT a tune AOt a Setdhy Ol @4o'VVV' Babe Ruth and Bob Meusel of the Yankees. and Bill Piercy of the Bos- lon Red Sox. who were suspended for barn-storming after the Worlds series last year.
 The players identified with the movement also are said to nurse 8 belief that some ball players, who have incurred the displeasure of theil employers. have been shunted out oi the big leagues through secret agree ments among the owners, each o whom Is alleged to have agreed no' to claim the busted man under thu waiver rule.
