STREET IS LIKELY
TO PILOT BROWNS
BottomIey's Unconditional
Release Opens Way to
C0aCh's Promotion.
BY the Associated Press.

ut. LOUIS, Nov. 20-Gabby
Street, who once caught Walter
Johnson's smokeball, apparently
~ held the inside track today to
become the new manager of the st.
Louis Browns, the only major league
club without a pilot for 1888.
Street was appointed Brown coach
last year under Sunny Jim Bottomley,
one OF baseball's most popular players,
who succeeded Rogers Hornsby as
manager in the middle of last season,
but who was given his unconditional
release yesterday. Street has been
the only one mentioned as a possible
successor to Bottomley
Bottomley said he had no imme-
diate. plans for continuing in baseball
and does not intend to attend the
baseball meetings this winter. Before
the close of last season it was said
Jim had applied for the job of man
aging the Cincinnati Reds after Char
ley Dresser had been released. He
later declared he was Just Joking"
BOttomley's Plans Uncertain.
THE smiling, 37-year-old veteran ad-
mitted that he had received no
direct offers, but only few nibbles.
and l can't tell what I'll do until
something develops" Even if he
passes from the spotlight, the gentle
man farmer" of Bourbon, Mo, has
earned permanent place in baseball
history
Bottomley joined the Cardinals in
1922 and played first base during four
of their five pennant- winning years.
He batted 1867 in 1925 and was voted
the National Leagues most valuable
player in 1923 when he batted 1926
to help the Cardinals to the second
pennant. After the 1882 season he
was traded to Cincinnati, but in
March, 1886, Hornsby brought Smiling
Jim back to ST. Louis.

emphasis has been placed on the per-
