This and That
Cincinnati Reds needs mana
ger for next year and everyone
has been nominated for that po-
sition fr'im Judge Lands to Ar
turo Baeza, and perhaps Bobby
Shultz will get a chance to show
what he can do. But the latest
ones mentioned for the job is
Jimmie Wilson, now manager of
the Phillies, and ''Lippy Leo
Durocher of the Cards. The writ
er thinks Babe Ruth will get first
call and if he does not take it,
Hafey or Cuyler come next.
Two fight titles will change hands
tonight. Mike Jacobs carnival of
champions will see Pedro Mon
tanez whip Champion Lou AM
bers for the lightweight title, and
Fred Apistoli will whip Marcel
Thiel, European middleweight
king. Barney Ross will keep his
welterweight belt and Sixto Esco-
bar will retain his bantam title.
Phil Weinstrub is playing on his
third club in 1887. He started
with the Reds, who shipped him
to Jersey City, and now he is help
ing the Giants in their swing
around the circuit fighting for the
flag. Roger Hornsby, Jr., has
entered the U. S. Military Acad-
envy at West Point. .Baeza is
hoping that Selkirk or Heinrich
win be ready for the worlds series,
Eas Jake Powell is only hitting
Tafoand $50. Do you think Tony
Lazzeri would succeed as C.eve-
lAsnd manager, where Perkinpagh,
walter Johnson and Steve O'Neil
have failed The writer believes
that Push Em-Up Tony will prove
very successful manager.
Detroit Tigers have drawn more
crowds to Navin Field this year
than they did in the wtrld's series
of 1885. Greenberg, York and
Gehringer are the drawing stars,
frankie Frisch will get mis-
job back as manager FOR the
Cards but it will not be for $751;
900 as he has been getting, as the
Fordham Flash is now Al and
can't get around as spryly as OF
yore. Taking everything into con-
sideration frankie has done with q
club that through injuries lost
some of its most voluable players
all through the season, we believe
he has done well. Rip Collins
has returned to the Cubs lineup
and Hery Mayg is rejoicing be-
cause the Bruins have been diff
ferent since his return. 1t was a
hard blow for Rip when he was
injurede on August 10---oyer a
month ago-and it meant the
league leadership. But from now
on fans viii see different brand
of ball played by those Cubs.
Connie Mack is the only manager
the AS have ever had but there
will be many changes in the ma.
jor league managers next year.
Saturday, Florida Gators will
play the L. S. u. and Vanderbilt
plays Kentucky. Generally, con.
ference teams play warm-ur
games first, Sut this year they
are starting out playing one an
other. Lou Gehrig wisecracked
the other day: eve American
Leaguers have a great deal Of
love for the National League, for
we realize that when we are
through in our league we can
step down and have five more
good years in the NationaI.".
Bob Teller will be one of the
leading pitchers in the majors in
1888. He has primed himself
this year and will get over the
stage fright he is suffering. Cur
rent rivalry between the Giants
and the Cubs is the hottest since
the haleYon days of McGraw and
Chance, when Three-fingered
Brown, Mathewson, King and
Bresnahan were in their prime.
There is plenty of excitement in
the Winly City and they are out
to win. It may develop like the
year it wound up in a tie and
the two clubs had to play an err
ira game to decide the champion
ship. 1t seems as though it viii
