LEADERSHIP (By Associated Press.) » NEW YORK, Feb. 11.—Seven of the sixteen clubs in the major_leagues, three in the National and four in the Ameri- can, will take the field for the 1921 campaign under the léadership of new managers. The opening of nearly every baseball season finds one or two managers, but it is a long time since there has been such a general shakeup among the shazee coe = ACKS FONT “AT JMZLAND ‘With all the changes of leaders that Kid Lee and Bennie Gacicer Are} have been made from year to year there are two managers who stand out Headliners on’ Sandbar Card Tonight Prominently in the history of base ball because of their long service with their respective clubs, Connie Mack of the Philadelphia Athletics and John 3. McGraw of the New York Gants Mack has led the Athletics since they entered the Amerivan Lague in 1901 and has won six pennants and three world’s championships. McGraw be- came 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 | hmong the managers for the coming season is the appointment of Ty Cobb to lead the Detroit Tigers as the suc- cessor of Hughey Jennings. The lat- ter quit the Tigers after 14 years, during which he won three pennants, to become assistant to Manager Mc- Graw of the Giants. What Cobb will do as @ major league manager will he closely watched by the. fans through: out the country. As a player he has won about every honor the game uf- * fords with the exception of playing on a world’s championship team, and has been proclaimed by all one of the greatest players in the history of base- ball, and by some the,greatest. While Ty is not the Cobb of a few years, ago he still is a great player #nd it remains to be seen what effect, if any, the 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 field, and he and Speaker will be the only playing Managers in the major leagues., They are said to be the highest paid active players in the game, each drawing salt aries both as players and manager: In addition Speaker is said to have received an interest in the Cleveland club for’ winning the first pennant and world’s championship for the city. ( Another change of managers’ that ended a long career of leadership 2n the diamond, was that of the Wash- ington club. Clark Griffitt, who has become principal owner of the club, turned over the managerial duties & his able lieutenant, George McBride. tor many years shortstop of the team. Griffith managed the “Washington club for nine years and previous to that-had served as manager of the Chicago White Sox, the New York Yankees and the Cincinnati club. Grif- fith now will devate all his time io the excutive business of the club of which he is president. McBride be- gan his major league career with Washington in 1908 and played short- stop until a year or ‘two ago Hugh Duffy, famous as an fielder and batter several years ago, ‘will Iead the Boston Red Sox as the successor of Edward G Barrow. The latter, who managed the Red Sox three “years, winning a pennant and Twenty-eight rounds of boxing and a novel battle royal are the features of a sport card to be put on by the ;Colored Athletic club at Jazzland Theater tonight, and those who like to see the dusky sluggers perform are expected to be out in force. The headliner will be a ten-round go between Kid Lee of Oklahoma City and Bennie Gacicer of Denver. Kid Lee is a classy boxer and showed well in his Jast bout at Jazzland, knocking out his man in the third round of what was billed as a tenround go. If Ga- cicer is in Lee's class, a real battle may be expected. Wildcat Lee, a favorite with local fans, will stack up against Young MeVey for ten rounds, and as both boys are sluggers with reputations to defend, a lively match should result. Kid Griffo and a black and tan named Cyclone are slated to exchange compliments for eight rounds., Nobody seems to know Cyclone, but Kid Griffo is an old battler and a good one at that. The “grand curtain raiser” will be a gunny sack battle royal between five dusky boys from the Sandbar dis- trict. A gunny sack battle royal is a new one on Casper fans, but Bill} avis, promoter claims that it is the lormet thing in the levee districts of Mississippi and Louisiana, the home of battle royals. LANDIS MARY SERVE: BOTH COURT AND LEAGUE; SAYS (By Assoclated Press) WASHINGTON, Feb. 11,—Federal Judge Landis of Chicago, was with- in the law when he accepted the of- fice of supreme baseball arbitrator, while still’ serving on the bench, At- torney General Palmer declared to- day in a letter to Repres»ntative Welty, Democrat of Onio, who had questioned the judge's right to hold both positions. Mr. Welty. introduced today a bill making it unlawful for fev yudge to receive compensation for e<ercising out SPORTS--LOCAL, STAT DECISION OF - PALMER Sport Notes Third Baseman Buck Weaver con- tinues to insist that he will be back with the cago White Sox when the 1921 season opens, and is’ report- ed to have wagered $500 to that ef- fect. Buck has insisted all along that he was not mixed in the dirty deal, end that. he will produce witnesses to that effect. He does not deny, how- ever, that he had guilty knowledge of what was going on, which is about as bad as being a party to the frame- up. Weaver's playing was very bril- Mant in the world’s championship se- ries in which the big clean-up was made by crooked players and gamb- lers, Buck would make more of a hit with the public if he would say Jess and do more along the line of proving his innocence if he really is innocent. Longest Glove Fight. The longest glove fight in history, according to records which might be called official, was that between Andy Bowen and Jack Burke at New Orleans on April 6, 1893. The pair went, 110 rounds to a draw. The bout occupied seven hours and nine minutes. The same year Bowen beat Jack Everhardt in 95 rounds at New Orleans. The following year, Acid Lavigne beat Bowen so badly at New Orleans that Bowen died from the ef- fects of the beating.| Burke, the other participant in the record fight, died in Connecticut about six years Ago. Legion Forms League. LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 11.—Tenta- tive plans have been announced for a Nebraska American Legion basketball tournament to be held early in March. Forty basketball teams have already been organized” ini the state, senting legjon posts. The plan is to organize the team into six leagues, one for each con- gressional district. District contests will be held the latter part of this month, and the winners in these will compete for the state title. New Stars for Sox. Joe Berger, former White Sox, who is managing the Wichita club, speaks very highly of two youngsters who will have a trial with the Sox team next spring. “In East and Taryan," says Berg: er, “the Sox have two of the best prospects that ever went into the major leagues. East is an. outfielder and hit .384 last season. Yaryan is a,catcher and hit well above the .300 mark, He hit 41 home runs last sea- soh, and I'm telling you he will pit against big league pitching, He is going to stick an the American league and'I’m predicting that Comiskey will have as great a home run hitter as Babe Ruth San Francisco Boxing Resumed (By Adsoctated Press) SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Feb. 11.—~ Boxing shows will be resumed here tonight after a lapse of several months caused’ by police ban.
