They digested Yesterdays sudden

formal statement by Owner p. K
Wrigley, woke up today rejecting
on several new turns in the baseball
world, then based their nomina-
tons on:
Meyer Ready for Junk.
I. The report that Jimmy Wilson.
catcher and World Series hero with
the Cincinnati Reds. already had
reached an agreement with the Cubs
following a surprise visit here last
week.
2. A remark by Wrigley, who
responded to a statement that Will
son would make a good manager"
by saying IT think So too"
3. The fact that a few days ago
Billy Meyer, Kansas City manager.
received permission from his en-
ployers. the New York Yankees, to
negotiate for a major league posi-
ton. yesterday Meyer declined to
comment when asked If he was to
become manager of the CubsD
4. Other Wrigley assertions that
there are major and minor leaguers
on the list" and Il don't want to be
accused of tampering as all the men
we've in mind are under contract"
Wrigley promised only that the
new man would be picked before the
winter baseball meetings starting
December 4.
Hartnett Is Surprised.
AS for Hartnett, Wrigley said, I'VE
are not blaming Hartnett-he has
done everything he could, but we
feel it is up to us to try and keep
on trying to get the best possible
combination of personnel to produce
the best possible results"
He said that waivers would be
asked on Hartnett, who is listed as
a player manager. and that if there
was no response he would be given
his unconditional release.
Hartnett was. decidedly surprised
at the disnff1Balsl fbnl Ms only major
league stand since he came up from,
Worcester Of. the Eastern, League in
1922.
Il had understood differently. But
you can't complain or cry" he COM
mented. TT comes to almost every
body some time. I only hope the
next guy will have better time of
it here"
Hartnett, who succeeded Charley
Grimm as Cub manager on July 81,
1888, is tied with Ray Schalk for the
record Of having caught 100 or more
games in each Of IL seasons in the
majors. His lifetime batting average
is .297.
No Bid for Wilson.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 14.-Jimmy
Wilson. 4O-year-old member of Gin
cinnatis championship baseball
team. says he is very happy" with
the Reds and is not making a bid
to pilot the Chicago Cubs.
Asked If he was q candidate for
the job left vacant by Chicago's
dismissal of Gabby Hartnett, Wilson
said:
Il certainly would give the matter
deep consideration If I were ap-
preached, but I certainly am not
going to make any bid for the job.
My connections and position with
Cincinnati are the finest. not only
am very happy there, but also more
than satisfied with all arrangements.
1T is my belief that the Cubs
have already selected a manager.
1t is usual in such cases for q presi-
dent to make his chonce of a success
sor before he releases the in
cumbent."

CINCINNATI, Nov. 14.-1t may
seem presumptious for one major
league club to tell another who
should manage its team, but that's
almost what the Chicago Cub situa-
ton stacks up to.
The situation is SO obvious that If
Phil Wrigley doesn't take advantage
of the opportunity, Cincinnati fans
believe he'd better devote himself
exclusively to the chewing gum bust
ness.
Here is 40-year-old Jimmy Wilson,
hero of the Reds World Series
triumph. and there are the Cubs,
needing new manager. Jimmy has
