M Mnatsanl *.it eenvtyle, sppesfaAg u tut turn's to o BASE BALL NEWS Who Will Manage the Big Leagues iB 1921 I Now York, Feb. 12.?Seven <*T the ! l?; dubs in th?- major leagues, three in th?' National and four in the j American, win take tin- Held for the' 1921 campaign under the leadership i of new managers. The opening of nearly every baseball sea Si n finds one Or two new managers, but it is a long' time since there has been such a general shakcui> among the held gen? erals of the major league clubs. With all the changes of leaders that have been made from year to year there are two managers who stand out prominently in the history of baseball because of their long ser? vice with their respective (dubs?Con nie Alack of the Philadelphia Ath? letics and John .1. McGraw of the New York Giants. Mack has led the Athletics since they entered the American League in 1901, and has won si* pennants and three world's championships. McGraw became manager of the Giants in 1902, and like Mack, has piloted his teams to six pennants, but has won the world's championship only once. One of the most notable changes among the managers for the coming season is the appointment of Ty (Jobb to lead the Detroit Tigers as the suc? cessor of Hughey Jennings. The lat? ter quit the Tige rs after 14 years, dur? ing which he won three pennants, to become assistant to Manager M< Graw of the Giants. What Cobb will do as a major league manager will j be closely watched by the fans throughout the country. As a player j he has won about every honor the 'game affords with the exception of iplayln? on a world's championship I re urn, and has been proclaimed by all [one of ii< greatest players in the history oi baseball, and by some tin* greatest. While Ty is not the ?.'ob of a few years ago he still is a great player and it remains to be seen what ef? fect, if any, ihe duties of manager will have upon his playing. Like Tris Speaker, manager of the world's Champion Cleveland team, Cobb will continue to play center Held, and he and Speaker will be the only play? ing managers in the major leagues. They also are said to be the highest paid active players in the game, each drawing- salaries both as players and managers. In addition Speaker is said to ahve received an interest in the Cleveland club for winning the first pennant and world's champion? ship for the city. Another change of managers that < nded a long career of leadership on tin- diamond was that of the Wash? ington cluii. Clark Griffith, who has become principal owner of the ?Muh. turned over the managerial dutie? to his able lieutenant, <4eo:ge McBrlde, for many years shortstop of the team. Griffith managed the Washington club for nine years and previous to that had served as manager of the Chieugo White Son. the New York Yankees ami the Cincinnati club. Criffith now will devote all Iiis" time to the execu? tive business of th,. club of which he is president. McBrlde began his ma? jor league career with Washington in 1908 and played shortstop until a year or two ago. Hugh Duffy, famous as an outfield? er atrd batter several years ago, will lead the Boston Bed So.v as the suc? cessor of Edward G. Barrow. The lat? ter, who managed the Bed Sox three years, winning a pennant and a world's championship, is now busi? ness manugor of the New York Yan? kees. Lee Fohl, a former manager of the Clevelamd team, will lead the St. Louis Browns in succession to Jimmy Burke, who has signed as coach of the Red Sox. Changes of managers in the Not? ional Leamie involve the BOStOtt, Chicago and Philadelphia clubs. George Mailings gave up the man? agement of the Boston Braves after light years to become president and manager of the Rochester club of the New international League. It is a coincidence that Stallings will be succeeded as manager of the Braves by Fred Mitchell who was his chief assistant and coach when the Braves made their remarkable showing in 1914. Mitchell has been manager of the Chicago Cubs for the las1', four years and piloted his club to the National League pennant in 1918. He will be succeeded by Johnny Kvera, whose appointment has been approved generally by the Chicago tans. Evers gained all his fame on the diamond while playing with the Pubs, having joined the team in 1902. He becamo the regular second base* .nan tin- next year and continued in that position to the etui of the 1913 season, in the latter season he suc? ceeded Frank L, Chance as man? ager ami lasted one year. Bvers 1 in ted his unconditional eg* I'ease and signed with Boston, became f ??attain of ihe tea nn and was a big [factor in ihe Braves' success of 1914. Vfter Bvers' year as manager of the dibs, Hank O'Dny, the veteran um? pire, Boger Breanahan and Joe Tink? er each served a year ami then came the four years .enure of Fred Mitch? ell. The Philadelphia Nationals will be managed next season by BUI Dono? van, who will be the third manager since Pat'Moron w as released. Mor? oni was ?ucceeded by Jack Coombs, who gave way In mid-season of the 1919 campaign and was succeeded by Gavvy Cravath. The latter continued throughout last year and next season win be with the Pacific coast League. Donovan was one of the best pitch* era In baseball during the pennant ! w inning years of the Detroit Tigers, 'lie was at one time manager of the I New Yoi k Yankees and last year pi I Intel the .leises City team of the New Intel national League. ciliv Chesterton is doubtful about prohibition prevailing in England.

Senator PoindeSter, Uepublican, of Washington, author ot the senate naval committee's recent adverse re i poi t on Sena or Borah's suggestion for a six months' naval holiday, in un swer to a question whether the com mittco's Investigation had disclosed any such situation, replied that there had been "sonic testimony" on the subject hut the oomnil.tee did not be? lieve it should he made public. "If this informaUon is in the hands of the navy department," Senator Borah said, "the congress should have it. We are informed that in the archivee of the navy department there is proof of tho propaganda con ducted by fJreait Bi itain. At the i same time we are told that tho Brlt J ish ambassador is on his way here, to Isuggest a disarmament conference." i Senator Borah again urged that an agreement be reached be.ween the I naval powers for reduc tion of build? ing programs and also advocated a ?careful investigation to determine (whether <apitul ships are tactically I obsolete. I "Unless there is an agreement reached bot ween the United States and the powers competing in naval Ibuildinf " he said, 'i. Wfl! lead to war - in?v.lti hly." I Opinions ol American, British, Gee* man and Other naval experts that capital ships have become obsolete^ were presented by Senator Borah. He read from a letter by un American rear admiral, retired, who said: "1 would stake my life that in a few years a surface navy alone can go nowhere but to the bottom." The name of the officer who wrote the letter, Senator Borah, said would be given to the naval committee if it deaired. This offlcefr, he added, alao wrote lhat the United States could never be attacked successfully by a power or combination of powers from overseas. Sena'or Poindexter, in defending the nival commlttt's report, supporting the capital ship building program, declared that it the United States accepted the building postponement plan It would, "becomo at once a de? feated nation, would lose Its insular i possessions" and I s eitizenfc would be I able to travel the seas only upon terms laid down by rival nations. "Before sitting down ^rith those na? tions at the conference table," he said, "the committee feels we should take precautions not to sit down dis? armed. If the six months' suspen? sion were adopted we would lose, In addition, between 115,000,000 and $ LT.,000,000." The senator said he would like to Know whether Great Britain would reduce its fleet to the present strength of the American navy and if Japan would actually stop naval construc? tion, lie asserted that the British ; main fleet was twice as strong as (the American and tha* Japan would equal the American strength within 1 the next three or four years. Senator Smith, Democrat, Georgia, (suggested that Great Britain give the United States in payment for its war debt half of its naval forces so that the two powers would be equal in strength. What l>o You Think? i It is a little absurd for the Ameri? can nation to be "busted" just now. Isn't it? Labor has had four or five fat years?high wages, short hours and plenty of work. If labor hasn't accumulated enough savings to keep bread in the bread box and coal in the bin during a few weeks of partial unemployment, it doesn't deserve much sympathy? does it? That is what agriculture thinks. Agriculture has had some fat years, too. If agriculture hasn't laid by some? thing for a rainy day?if it can't stand a slump in prices after its period of undisputed prosperity- "Why agricul? ture is a pretty poor business, inn't it? That is what labor thinks. Manufacturers and wholesalers hav?. been piling up profits on a rising market, and if they can't take their med.cin,> now during the period of readjustment, it's a queer thing. That is what the retailers think. Ami if the retailers, who have worn ' out their pencil* marking up priced, can't make he necessary reductions now without whimpering, they would ! better .shut up shop. Th- ? h what the m ?nufac turers I \viiu,? . ;i*CTS say. You have been having a chance to make and save a little money for several years, and if you can't stand a little hard times you're el*her a pretty poor sport or you're a pretty pool busin? ss man. That is what everybody says to ev jcrybody else. And what everybody aiys must bs so!- Farm Life. Chinese Representative In Ueoguc of Nations.
