applies more readily to baseball than to any other activity of the sport field. A glance at Gibson's predecessors with the Pirates since Fred Clarke stepped down years ago is sufficient illus, trati6n, if you care to go that far.
 But that isn't necessary Consider the major league managers of the mo- ment. They are nearly all one or two year men, and their jobs are just about as sure as politicians prom ise.
 Bill Killifer, of the Cubs; Fred Mitchell, of the Braves; Irving Will helm, of the Phillies; Lee Fohl, of the Browns, and Ty Cobb, of the Tigers, fell heir to the jobs last year. Of the lot Fohl and Cobb are reasonably cer- tain of hanging on, and then only on condition that they continue to de- liver.
 Of the 1920 managerial crop there are Iris Speaker, of the Indians; Hugh Duffy, of the Red Sox, and Branch Hickey, of the Cardinals. Duffy may or may not stick, depending upon MT. Frazee's pleasure.
 From the year before remain Pat Moran, of the Reds, and Kid Glea- son, of the White SoX, who fought out that peculiar 1919 worlds series. Rumors of Moran's passing have been waited about, but Gleason seems to be sitting pretty-for the time being at least.
 That narrows the field down to Mill Ter Huggins, who came to the Yanks somewhere back about 1917; Wilbert Robinson, leader of the Dodgers, since
The Cordova daily times., 1922-07-25

1915, and John McGraw, of the Giants, and Connie Mack of the Athletics Clyde Milan, of the Senators, and Bill McKechnie, of the Pirates, are not mentioned because they have yet to receive a white mans chance.
 Of the others, however, it is under stood that Higgins must bring the Tanks home this year or take himself hence, despite the fact that he won in 1921, while Robbie McGraw and Mack are fixtures.
 The spare manager of the Athletics is part owner of the club, else he would hardly be with us now. No mere manager could finish last for seven years and hover about that spot in the midst of his eighth season and still remain among those present. At that, he won enough pennants be- tween 1901 and 1914 to merit more than ordinary consideration.
 Connie and McGraw, the winners of many pennants, stand out as the only twenty-year managers in all base ball, and they owe their longevity as much to circumstance as to results at tained. Both are stockholders, and McGraw, in addition, is given carte blanche in the matter of buying tai ent. Were it not for that it is ex- tremely doubtful whether John would have been able to bag seven p.nrants in some twenty-two starts.

MANAGERS OF MAJOR V LEAGUE TEAMS HAVE rE~r .. '''-' UNCERTAIN PLACES .4 <

NEW YORK, July 25.-The recent passing. of George Gibson from the payroll of the Pittsburg National League ball club and the lists of ma jor league managers gives ample evi- dence of the uncertainty of managerial favor. One year ago almost to the month George Gibson was embark ing on a promising career as leader , of the Pittsburg Pirates. In few buck jumps. he took his team to the pace and kept it there until late Au- gust. At that time Gibson had the world by the tail and was swinging it about his graying head.
 Came then the disastrous series with the Giants, in which the Pirates seven-game lead disappeared with un- seemly haste, and the team was for tunate to finish second. Whereupon Gibson was given a clean bill of health on the collapse, the blame laid to lack of training and dissension and the dis i. furbers given highly beneficial air dur ing the off season.
 The result: The Pirates struck a slump with the season only few weeks advanced, have been at it more or less industriously ever since, and Gibson, the man of the hour in July, 1921, passes on out with July, 1922.
