tion or FORMER Quaker Managers, Il
agement for the coming season is tv
Under the wire. In addition to Phi
that he is looking about for new
Duffy, of the Red Sox, is the team /
sin the balance.
= In the National League no one has
appeared to serve dispossess notices on
~ ohm j. McGraw, Wilbert Robinson,
tpat Moran, Fred Mitchell or Branch
hickey. Bill KilIefer signed for two
years with the Cubs and Barney Drey-
fuss recently hooked McKechnie for the
coming season with the Pirates. That
lett Quakertown the only vacant spot
on the circuit. In the American League
Huggins has been signed, Connie Mack,
Kid Gleason, Ty Cobb, Lee Fohl and
iris Speaker are fixtures, Clyde Milan
Is definitely out at Washington, and
Duffy, as aforesaid, is waiting for the
decision.
The number of candidates for the
vacant positions is rather large, con-
sidering that only three Jobs are open
for bidders. There is talk of the second
eoming Of Hugo Bezdek in the older
league to try his hand with the fatal
Philiies, but President Baker is still
scanning the horizon with spyglass
for the prophet who will lead his
Wandering followers into the promised
land of the first division, and his choice
has yet to be announced. Mike Kelly,
of st Paul, was mentioned for xhe
Senatorial job. and Mike admitted he
had the matter under consideration.
Jimmie Burke headed the list of nom
-inations for the Red Sox job, but he
was closely pressed by other candi-
dates.
1922 Model Skipper
Frank Chance, the former Peerless
Leader, who was visiting around town
during the worlds series in company
with Barney Oldfeld, just managed 20
get his name into the chronicles of the
day as prospective manager for the
Red Sox in time to have Harry Frazee
choke the rumor into sudden death. In
facs the Red Sox owner has made no
definite announcement that Duffy is
through at the Hub. The chances are
that if he cannot find the man he is
looking for the Red Sox will have to
worry through the 1923 season with
their 1922 model skipper.
These who had the idea that Fred
Mitchell had been sentenced to sum
.aary execution for steering the Braves
into the National League cellar were
much in error. George Grant said re-
Gently that no manager in either
league could have done anv better
Blaves had all season. The owner of
the BOSTON Nationals asserted emphat-
.cally that Mitchell would be the Hepp
Big Chief in the Braves wigwam TO-.
the coming season.
Just by the way, George Grant also
took time out to deny that Dick Ru-
dolph had been tossed lightly out Of
the Boston cantonment and that the
former hurting star would be appointed
coach of the Giant pitching staff this
he will' was the attitude Grant took,
and he is generally given credit for
Knowing something about the matter.
Rudolph is looked upon as coach
rather than a player up Boston way.
and perhaps the fact that he might
have been omitted on a list of the
players gave rise to the story.
Rudolph Not Giant
Secretary Jim Tierney of the Giants
also rose to deny the engagement of
Rudolph by the Giants as a pitching
coach for industrious rockies. While
he was in a denying mood, the Giant
secretary also reiterated his denial of
Luque to McGraw, and said he had re-
eeived letter from Hermann in which
the owner of the Reds wrote chat the
yarn gave him the best laugh he has
had since somebody threatened Gin
einnati with prohibition.
Last night at o'clock Frank Frisch,
the able youth who covers lot of
otherwise vacant ground between first
and second base for the worlds cham
pions, was legally and religiously put
into double harness at the Episcopal
\ Church Of the Holy Nativity in the
&Bronx. The Fordham Flash was mar
fried to Miss Ada Emile Lucy, also Of
2 the Bronx. The bridal couple started
immediately on an automobile tour Of
The South.
~ Babs Ruth spent yesterday resting
up from his tour of the country In
his transforming trip. When he wasn't
riding in Pullman cars he was plow-
ing around the infieid of half-mile
tracks at county fair grounds, at which
places most of the exhibition games
were staged. He is scheduled to appear
at the Yankee offices to-day for chat
with Colonel Til Huston. "My good
ness," said the Colonel, "can't be he
needs money already. Maybe he's going
to lend me some instead. If SO. will
instruct Nip McManus to lock the door
ss soon as he enters the portals"
