Thin winter is bound to be one of thr gTeHt changes In major league I baseball teams nnd the shifts among (the managers will not be relatively the least extensive. In fact, that Is coming to be the problem in higher 'baseball a competent leader. Such a one is worth his rate in gold, literally lit-erally and without an ounce of exaggeration ex-aggeration It is predicted in well informed circles there will ho three new managers in the American league next season and two in the National. Regards the New York club of the American league, it appears that negotiations ne-gotiations for the sale of the organization organ-ization have ceased, temporarily at least The sale of the Yankees to j I t ne warns who own m- uivj Federal club, was seriously considered, consid-ered, but the Feds finally dampered the dicker by assuming the attitude that they would noi seek peace, and would let the American league repair its own breaches without the hlp of Fed money. But it is still uncertain that the Frank Farrel interests will hold on 10 the club Right here the question of a manager comes in It is said Connie Mack is willing to consider letting Eddie Collins go to the Yan-kees; Yan-kees; but Eddies managerial qualities qual-ities are open to question. The only team he ever ran was the Columbia varsity nine. Yankees' Discouraging Experience. Again, the experience of the Giants 5s such as to discourage the Yankees In acquiring a player-manager. Many ; baseball critics say only a bench 1 manager will do in these strenuous days. It is quite certain Roger Peck-inpaugh Peck-inpaugh will not stay as permanent manager of the Yankees, but who will j I AINSWORTH YALE'S SINEWY LEFT HALF Hr ' ' Ainwxrth. succoed him? An merlcan league manager who is pretty sure of being deduced to the ranks Is Jnc Birmingham. The riot land leader has been the victim of a lot of misfortune, but results are wanted, hard luck or no hard luck fend fast place Ifl not conducive to greater gate receipt. Birmingham may ;;?t another chance, but It Is ex-i ex-i tremely doubtful. He is a fine pcr-i pcr-i sonallty. but ho does not got alt hla men can give. Birmingham is of the. college school of baseball. Ho played on the Cor-I Cor-I nell team, and believes In the col-I col-I lege man as the coming malustap of ; major league baseball. On the other j hand some of his starn, Joe Jac ksou, for Instance, belong to the "sand-Jot I horde," and they cannot see the "ralv rah" boys with a telescope. Theite has been friction, it Is known, and Blrmy may be the goat. "For U John" Ganzel, one time Yankee Yan-kee and now leader of the Rochester club of the International league, is said to have been assured that he will manage the Clevelund club next ."oapon. John is In right with Ban Johnson. Another American league manager who may be displaced is Jimmy Callahan Cal-lahan of the White Sox. Jimmy has had four years in which to prove that he Is a real loader and developer of talent, and thus far he has failed to Impress not only the general public, pub-lic, but. It Is soid, Charlie Comlskcy as well Big Ed Welsh is slated to get Callahan s place, and no better man for tho place looms up on the horizon Just now. One National league club, Philadelphia, Philadel-phia, has already made a change In managers Charlie Dooin has been forced to step down in favor of Pat Moran Now it is naid thut Hank O Day is about to be given the gate in Chicago. Hank has a contract that has another season to run but if his presence were not wanted in Chicago that 'scrap of paper" would not bo permitted to stand in the way of a change Roger Bresnahan also had a "scrap of paper" from the St. Louis club, and he wos ousted with no core-mony. core-mony. For a consideration Hank might be induced to toar up that "scrap " In (he National league MctJraw, Robinson, SLillingB, Muggins Clarke and Herzog are certain to remain with their clubs. Herzog got a lot of bad breaks and finished way down in the ruck, but there Is no hadrer working manager In either league, and no more aggressive fighter Hug-gins Hug-gins made good beyond expectations snd should do even better next season sea-son If the Feds do not shoot his club to pieces In the American leagup, Branch Rickey is sure to hold orf to his job and of course so arv Clark Griffith.
