GOOD Of CLUB
REASON FOR
DISMISSAL

NEW YORK, Feb. 21 G.NSO.
Max Carey, manager of the Brook
lyn Dodgers baseball club, today
was relieved Immediately" of the
managership of the club "for the
good of the team" confirming
long persistent reports in base
bah circles Carey was on the way
out at Brooklyn.
Announcement Of the dropping
Of Carey was made by Judge
Stephen McKeever, president of
the Dodgers, through Bob Quinn,
business manager.
Casey Stengel, veteran player
now coaching the Dodgers, and
reported en- route here from the
West Coast to confer with Nc
Keever and Quinn, will be offered
the post of manager, Quinn stated.
The Dodgers business manager
said:
WANT CASEY STENCIL
"We hope Stengel will accept,
but If he doesn't, we have
two or three other prospects"
Quinn declined to mention any
others under consideration for the
managership, but it is understood
Marty McManus. former manager
OF the Boston Red Sox, who was
eaSed out when the Red SoX were
sold to Tom YaWkey, millionaire
sportsman, is leading candidate
for the post.
The Dodgers, Quinn stated, will
Give up to their contract with
Carey" signed last August for a
one-year period.
If Carey doesn't sign with an
other club before the contract
expires, the Dodgers business
moguls explained, they will con
tinue to pay him his $12,OO0-a-
year salary until the contract
runs out. If Carey signs for
another job at a lower salary.
the Brooklyn club will make up
the difference between the new
salary, and the figure called for
in his contract.
No ElabOra tiOn
Although Quinn announced
Carey was being dropped "for
the good of the team" he de-
clined to elaborate on Carey's
sentence.
For a long time, however,
rumors of dissension in the
Dodgers ranks have been rife.
Carey, it has been charged, was
"aloof" and "unfeeling." He was
accused of being unable to get
along with his players or with
business associates on the club.
Since the close of last season,
Carey has been fired" half a
dozen times by the baseball
grapevine, but neither he, nor
club officials, would ever make
any comment on the reports.
The Washington times., 1934-02-21

lieve him of tremendous ex-
penseS such as paying referees,
timekeepers, doctors, announcer
and ticket inspectors, so that in
a sense he could reduce much
overhead. However, he declares
local commission would not
take in enough to shoulder these
expenses and therefore claims
the plan impracticable.
Turner hopes public hearings
will be held on the proposed box
ing legislation so that he may
point out some Of the unwork-
able features of the paid COM
mission plan.
Cant Stand More Tax
AS far as a commission gov
erning wrestling is concerned,
Turner will welcome it, but he
believes it will have to be a COM
mission working without pay
with possibly salaried secre-
tary.
He further AYERS that with
any additional tax, patronage
will fall off, thereby reducing a
commission take to a very
nominal amount.
Joe revealed, for the sake Of
his argument, the amount of his
Federal tax of 10 per cent for
the last taxable year. It
amounted to $11,863. He be-
lieves with a per cent commits
sion tax here, the total wrestling
and boxing levy, even without
any falling off of patronage,
will not exceed $4,000 at best,
as it is recognized fact that
both sports have about reached
their absorption point, and
weekly receipts in both cases
average about the same-taking
Portner'S as an example for box
ing.
OF course license fees for
fighters, wrestlerS, trainers, ply
SicianS. ETC., would swell a COM
missions Golfers somewhat, but
hardly above the $4,000 year
mark which is neither impor-
tant revenue nor dignified sum
on which a commission might
operate,
Chest Out of Luck
Taking Mr.. Turner's estimates
of the situation it is difficult to
see where Washington'S Com
munity Chest would benefit
greatly from having local box
ing and wrestling unless all or
most of the commission created
positions were without recon-
pense. The Chest is made a
benefactor in the Black bill.
I should think Turner would
be a good man for the COM
mittee before which the box
ing and wrestling measure
come up, to hear. Insofar as
the subjects go which the pro-
posed legislation covers, Turner
would be a practical wrestling
authority, but no definite line
can be drawn on boxing rev.
enues. This latter item can
only be the subject of Specula-
ton with the nearby or So
called bootleg arenas as the
closest approach to what may
be expected in the way of at
tendance for fight shows.

But such a fighter surprised

Turner and Taxes
With regards to the proposed
boxing and wrestling legislation
for the District of Columbia, the
towns lone mat promoter. Joe
Turner is in very delicate po-
sition.
He is strong for boxing and
hopes nothing will deter the
game from being legalized in
Washington.
But boxing and wrestling are
coupled in the Black bill, the
measure which seems to be in
the most favor at the moment,
and there is where Joe has to
divide his affections.
Speaking solely for wrestling,
and at the same time emphasiz-
ing his fondnes for boxing, Joe
doesn't think the District of Co.
lumbia is large enough to sup
port a paid athletic commission.
He points out the fact that in
States where commissions con-
troll these sports there are big
areas to be covered, many of
them embracing several big
cities and innumerable small
towns.
Not Practical
The best Turner can see for
Washington is one wrestling
night a week and one boxing
night. He doesn't believe the
traffic here will stand more
than that.
Joe brings to light the fact
that a commissioned controlled
wrestling regime here would re-
