BY JOHN B. FOSTER. {W YORK. October 22-—Appointment of Johun McInnis, better known as “Stuffy.” as manager of the Philadelphia Nationals will give more joy to Philadelphia than encouragement to the fans of other cities. MclInnis made his best reputation as first baseman for the Athletics, beginning iri 1908 and playing nine seasons. Then he went to Boston and after that to Cleveland and finally to Pittsburgh. He was released this vear by Pittsburgh because the Smoky City management thought that he made public the story of the fuss about Fred Clarke. McInnis nevef has had any managerial experience, and among bhall players he has been regarded as one’who did a lot of playing for “Stuffy” MclInnis—that is, individual playing. i Meclnnis' direction of the Phillle as the successor of Art Fletcher prob. ably will find quite a following for| g, him in the Quaker City, as he devel- oped most of his ability as a first ba Orgapized foot hall at Ohlo State dates hack to 1590 ¢ Don't Buy Your Radiator Shutter or Heater —for your autamobila until vou ses ARMENTROUT’S 1710 14th St. or 10th and Eye § man where the fans of that town ould see him.
