The American Assocfation Champions left home with a big edge on thelr In- ternational League rivals, having won three of the four games played here. Two more victories would give Kan City the minor league champion- ship. Baltimore's pitching staff crumpled before the heavy-hitting of the Blues in the games here, excepting the sec- ond, which Baltimore won when NEW NATIONAL MANAGER BY JOHN B. KELLER. MAN to succeed Owen Bush as manager of the Nationals soon may be named, according to Clark Griffith, president of the local mem- ber of the American League. leasing Bush after a year's trial as pilot, President Griffith declared this morning he was negotiating for a new field leader and expected to enter into a contract with one within a few days. He stated he was not yet in a position to divulge the name of the man under consideration. A Pressed by followers of the for- tunes of the Nationals, Griffith last night gave his reason for releasing Donie Bush, an action which has been so severely criticized by Washington In discussing his reasons for re- COLLINS IS SLATED YANKS SPURN OFFER | TO TRAIN ON COAST NEW YORK, October 19.—The new world’s champions in base ball, the New York Yankees, have rejected an invitation to train in Los Angeles next spring with a laconic “Too far to go."

He maintained that Bush was thoroughly incompetent as a manager, unable to enforce disci-| pline in the ranks and indifferent as to the improvement of the club. Grifith Justiied. Bush signed as manager for one year only, and during the season President Griffith gave the phot free réin to dictate the field work of the Nationals. Bush alone was responsi ble for the selection of players for games and for strategic moves in competition. Griffith is of the opinion that falled to uit himself properly in these respects and there- fore seems fully justified in seeking a shinice His formal statement setting forth the reason for the release of Bush is | frank and to the point, for the Na- tionals' president is not a man to mince words. The Real Reason. The statement follows: “When I decided not to retain Bush ax manager for the W ington club mext year 1 tho that unlexs you could give n man leaving your employ a boost it wan heat not to xuy anything.

Bowen put up a game fight, but his opponent’s left hand proved disas- | trous.

Finnigan tloored Bowen the second and Afth stanzas. { The preliminaries failed to please the fans.

Young Kid Eagan knew so little of boxing against Terry O'Day that Ref- eree Charlte Short stopped the bout in the second round. Bat Woodman was fouled by Johnny Conroy in the first round.
