appointed Harris in February, 1913,
and fired him the following July.
Fitz, then on the Brooklyn Dod-
gers pitching staff, was signed
by Cox on July %, 1943, and Cox
contracted for his services for this
year before Sgt. Bob Carpenter
took over ownership of the club
following Cox's custer.
Pennock's first announcement af-
ter Carpenter was made general
manager last December was that
Fitzsimmons would be retained.
The Indiana-born hurler has
spent almost half his years in
the Major leagues, most of them
as pitcher with the New York
Giants, with whom he became a
follower of the methods and stra-
tegy of the late John j. McGraw.
Fitzsimmons twice led the lea.

them five straight before they
