NEW YORK, Oct. LIT looks
4 v as If the White Sox and the
Pirates viii be the only ma or league
clubs to make managerial changes
Tor 1882. Charley Comiskey already
has nominated his new leader in
Lew Fonseca, while Barney Dreyfuss
has released Jewel Ems, without CIV
ing hint as to the identity of his
new choice, If he has one.
There has been some talk OF DOME Bush
taking Harris place in Detroit and Of
Philadelphia getting a successor to Shot
ton. but the chances are that both Bucky
and Burt viii stick. When Bush an
nounced his resignation in Chicago It was
taken for granted that he would have
made no such move had he not had a
new place into which to shift. But that
was not the case.
New York's three clubs are all set. with
John J. McGraw entering on his thirty
frst year as pilot OF the Giants. and Joe
Mccarthy ready to serves out the second
season Of a two-year contract with the
Yankees.
In Brooklyn. wilbert Robinson will get
new agreement for his eighteenth
semester as pilot of the Dodgers. Last
summer. when Robbie had some trouble
with the baseball writer's in Brooklyn. he
was iust about to quit. But he has had
change of mind and wants to stay
another wear.
Nobody outside of the Dreyfuss cabinet

place of Ems. Most of the guessers desiG-
nate George Gibson. once leader of the
Corsairs. and their catcher back in the
DAYS when Fred Clarke was winning pen
nants Gibson was around Forbes Field
the last weeks of the season. apparently
counting a change from his Canadian farm
to the turmoil of the Pittsburgh leader
ship.
other guessers say the new manager will
be Art Griggs. who has done very we'll
with the Dreyfuss farm at Wichita. Fits
burRh fans apparently are keen for neither
Gibson nor GriRgs. and would like TO see
Barney give Pie Traynor chance at the
lob.
THE Chicago and Pittsburgh Sit
Il uations are giving the mag
mates of both majors plenty of
worry. The American League, once
supreme in the patronage fight in
Chicago, has seen the Cubs rise to
the box office championship not
without pangs of regret and pains
of jealousy.
The magnates want the White Sox 10 do
something about it. and their esgerness is
whetted by the fact that the eighth place
Sox made money this past season.
Charley Comiskey is old and feeble and
not able to devote any attention to the
White Sox. AS result. conditions at the
south side park are not what YOU would
call ideal.
George Getz. the Chicago sportsman who
was associated with Tex Richard in the
promotion of the Dempsey-Tunney fight on
Soldier Field and has perfect public re-
latons insofar as the newspapers and the
sports fans are concerned. is ready right
now to buy out Comiskev at good price.
Getz has been after the White Sox for
several years. At one time he thought
the deal all set. But the old Roman
changed his mind and decided to leave the
club in trust for his heirs.
Getz. IN association with several other
Chicago sportsmen, would put the SoX
on firmer basis. But American League
men believe that Commy will not sell and
that things will continue as they are for
some years.
Harris is going ahead with plans to re-
vamp the Tigers. He has changed the
training site to the Stanford campus at
Palo Alto. which is about forty miles from
San Francisco.
There will be quite a few games Je-
tween the Tigers and the Giants. both ut
San Francisco and Los Angeles where Nc
Graws men will train.
