Manager for
Braves Soon
to Be Named
Speaker Leading Candidate,
With Collins and Cobb
Also Mentioned.

~ INV tsSvYe York q Oct. 18-The names
of Ty Cobb, Iris Speaker and Ed
die Collins, three of baseball's
greatest stars, have been linked with
the Boston Braves through specula-
ton over a manager for that team
next season.
Davy Bancroft was given his re-
lease recently as manager and
shortstop of the Braves, and later
he signed With the Brooklyn Robins
to play shortstop.
1--WE have two or three men un-
der consideration, and expect to
sign one of them this week." Judge
Emil Fuchs, president of the Braves,
said today.
Cobb and Collins still are the
property of the Philadelphia Ath-
letics and Speaker belongs to Wash
ington, and for the Braves to get
any one of the trio waivers would
be necessary. However, it is doubt
full if any American League club
would be willing to meet the salary
demands of any of them as reg
ular player.
Since Speaker played with the
Red SoX during the heights of their
power, he is regarded as the leading
possibility of the three men men
toned in the rumorS.

It was just three years ago that

cutting their lead to game and
