NAY BOSS
YANKS
By Bob ThaYsr

Coach Art Fletcher, who in
his PALMER days handled the
shortstopping for John Nc
Graw's Giants, may step over
night into the baseball shoes
vacated by the late Miller
Huggins.
Though stilI stunned BY the death
Of the little leader today, leglons Of
baseball fans quite naturally have
attempted to get line on Huggins'
probable successor.
While official announcement on
this subject likely win be- reserved
for some time yet, Fletcher Il con.
sidered natural for the job and
it's 4 2-tO-1 shot that be will set Il.
In the first place. Fletcher waa
q warm friend Of Higgins and has
mastered many Of his managerial
policies. Secondly he has been
naturally endowed with unquestion-
able qualities 81 leadership and ~
In every way fitted for the Job.
The former National Leaguer was
considered ! smart manager with
the Philadelphia Nationals several
years ago and had he received the
proper backing, friends insist, he
would have delivered for William r.
Baker.
Fletcher was no exception to
the general run Of Phflly pilots,
however, and Was finally waved
aside, but not until he had
formed the nucleus 0R the team
which today ID counted among
the National Leagues most
promising.
Critics and fans alike agree that
that Quakers are one Of the strongest
second division entries In the Ma
tional League history and are bound
to get somewhere within the next
year or so. And should this ccTne
| to pass Manager Bert Ehotton can
thank Art Fletcher for q large hand
In the building up program.
Charley O'Leary, the veteran
coach has been temporarily enlpOW-
cred with the managerial response
bilities Of the Yankees and some are
inclined to bellows that he win ret
the permanent assignment. With
Fletcher available, however, It IL
generally thought that Colonel Rup.
pert will look no farther for = selec-
ton.
Should this job fall his way. the
former Giant win be running IN com.
petition to his old boss, John Nc.
i GraW. Also he win be forced 10 fol,
low through with the rebuilding
steps planned by Higgins FOR 1890.
1t Is no secret that the little chief.
tan had intended sweeping aside
much OF his veteran material In an
| effort to mould another champion,
i ship cornbipa ton and his successor
i win Be faced with similar circin,
stance.
While their manager ls lying
ID state the Yankees win initiate
four game series with the
Washington GriffEnen here to.
