the first instance being the withdrawal
second the abrupt termination of
managerial relations between the Chi

They placed their men on the field as
they saw ft. AS both of them had
their measure of success, they became
leaders in their league and both of
them we're envied by other managers
who were not given such wide authority
For more than three weeks before
Hornsby's removal there had been ru-
