Kerr's Successor Uncertain.


TERRS replacement also came as no
A> big surprise. UP until last sea-
son Johnny shared first-base coaching
with Altrock and when Schacht de-
parted the little ex-infielder attempted
to fill AIS shoes, but found it diff
cult task.
Johnny began his diamond career
as second baseman and shortstop in
the Pacific Coast League, broke INTO
the big leagues with the White Sox
and was traded to Washington along
with Carl Reynolds for Bump Hadley
and Sam Jones. That was in 1881.
He remained on the active list until
last season, when he was listed strictly
as a coach.
Just who will replace Kerr as third
base coach neither Harris nor Griffith
is prepared to say at present, but the
successor, it was stated by Griff, will
be picked from the following: Clyde
Milan, Joe Judge, Earl McNeely and
Frank ORourke. Last season Milan
finished as manager of Chattanooga,
Judge conducted local restaurant
and McNeely functioned on the Coast
as president and manager of the Sac
ramento Club.

HANDED TO HARRIS
Successor at Third Base
Post to Kerr, Released,
Yet to Be Chosen.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN

BRAND-NEW coaching set-up,

II tempt to capitalize on the
4 \ speed of what promises to oe
a young and potentially dangerous
WASHINGTON ball club. yesterday was
disclosed by Manager Bucky Harris.
From out of the dugout, Where nc
has directed his last two ball teams,
Harris will emerge personally to direct
the traffic at first base next season
in a move meaning the virtual retire.
ment of Nick Altrock as an active
coach. A new third-base coach to
succeed Johnny Kerr is expected to
be named by the end of this month.
Kerr, who succeeded AL Schacnt
when Al Joined Joe Cronin In Boston,
was notified of his release a few days
ego by President Clark Griffith. HIS
successor, it was admitted by the Ma
tiorals' bosses, probably Will be an
ex-Washington player.
Changes Not Surprising.
THE revision of the coaching line
l. up came as no great surprise to
those In fairly close touch with the
Washington club. Altrock, who
achieved the mellowing milestone OF
SO years during the last season. Is not
so spry as formerly and for some
time Griffith has considered relieving
him of part Of his duties.
When Harris took over the reins OF
the Nationals last October it was
thought he would share the coachlng
duty, but Bucky believed at that time
he could get best results by directing
from the dugout. He now is convinced
the former and more active system,
which he employed while plotting the
Detroit Tigers, is more effective.
Bucky directed the Red Sox from the
bench in 1884, marking the first time
he did no coaching.
Altrock's retirement does not mean
that he will leave the team. LAS long
as I'm president of a ball club" quoth
Griff, Nick always will have job"
Altrock and Griffith have been to-
gether ever since the Nationals prexy
took charge of Washington teams in
1912. The picturesque old Nick will
devote his future efforts chiefly to
tutoring young pitchers, staging his
one-man clown acts and conducting
infield practice.
