powerful to oppose. The Rochester
Red Wings, Cardinal farm in the
international League, has won four
consecutive remnants, winning the
1881 crown after a hot race down

asserts Rochester was bolstered
enough to beat his club by obtain

by other moves directed by the
Cardinals.

IT is presumed Bob Shawkey will
i be installed as manager at New
ark by the Yankees. He is an old
Yankee favorite and Rupert de-
lights in taking care of his former
boys. AL MamauX piloted the Bears
this season and turned in a fancy
job by taking a regular turn on the
mound along with the managerial
duties. He is popular in Newark and
fan following may save him and
compel Shawkey to wait.
Shawkev was boss of the Yankees for
one season following the death of Miller
Huggins and was succeeded by Joe nc
Carthy when the Chicago Cubs made a

resigned the Pittsburgh reins late in
the 1929 season. The White S0x finally
made him an offer and after several
conferences he promised to sign two
year contract. The next day President
Rupert Of the Yankees got Bush on
long distance and prOpOstiOned him to
become New York chief. II was too late.

ID USH will come back to his first
ID love-the American Association
for the 1882 season if Mike Kelley,
veteran Minneapolis pilot uses
sufficient conversation during the
current league powwow at Chicago.
Ownie left Indianapolis Sunday
afternoon for the Windy City and
expected to meet Kelley there Mon
day, but affable Mike failed to
board the train at Minneapolis. Re
ports today said Mike finally de-
parted late Monday night and was
due in Chicago late this morning.
It is said Bush will accept the offer
to manage the Millers, probably
signing for two years with the I'M
derstanding he will be released if
fat big league contract pops up dur
ing his term with the Flour City
team.
Cincinnati is the best winter baseball city
I'm the country in the matter of buying
tickets to the next years opening game.
The Reds report the advance sale for the
1882 lid litter has reached $4,000; Queen
City fans take a holiday when their DEL Sn
nine jumps off in the opener, but soon
start the anvil chorus If the team goes
into reverse.
TIME Reds believe they made a
Il wise move when they drafted
catcher Clyde Manion from Mil
waukee. He's no spring chicken
and has seen much big league
service, but his 1881 record with
the Brewers was remarkable. He
caught in 125 games and pinch hit
in thirteen others, compiling
swat mark of 1853 for the season.
ManIOn proved a splendid handler Of
pitchers in the Cream City and was the
idol of the roOters. Moreover, the vet
cram abded by training rules and never
was the cause of giving insomnia to his
manager. Milwaukee scribes say that II
ManiOn was ten years Younger his SAFE
price would have established an A. A.
record.
