Covelskie was con- sidered out of major league baseball !\\'hen, five or six years ago, he was sent to the Southern league. For a time his work there was only medio- . cre, and those who were responsible for his going there felt satisfied that no mistake hade been made.

RESIGNS ASTIPTOPMANAGER Gives Up Reins of Brooklyn Club to Continue as Player Brooklyn, Aug. 18.—Robert B. Ward, president of the Brooklyn Federal League club, vesterday an- nounced that he had accepted the resignation of Lee Magee as manager of the team. Magee is to remain as a player. The new leader of the Brookfeds will take charge when they return to Washington Park from Pittsburgh tomorrow. Ward, prior to leaving on a flying trip up-State yesterday afternoon, as- serted that he had as yet made no choice of a new leader, but on good authority it was learned that John Ganzel, who yesterday retired as man- ager of the Rochester Internationals likely- to get the position. known that there are two Federal League managerships—that of Baltimore, in addition to Brook- lyn—to be filled, and that there are leading candidates for the places. It is said that James A. Gilmcre, president of the league, has had Charley Herzog, manager of the Cincinnati Nationals, under advise- ment for one of the places, and {uat Bill Clymer, manager of the Toronto Interhationals, is also ready to make a change. Knabe To Quit, Too. That Otto Knabe is ta follow Magee in resigning as leader of the Balti- more Federals is an open secret. Like Magee, Knabe is to contifiue as a player. It is therefore a question whether Herzog of Clymer is to shift ta Baltimore. It may be, after all, that one of the two will get the Brooklyn position, but advices last night pointed strongly to Ganzel as the most likely choice. Ward yesterday emphasized the fact that Magee's retirement from the leadership was entirely a matter of Lee’s volition. Several weeks ago Magee wrote Ward a long letter, in It is managerial responsibilities on the ground that they were uhdermining his health and his éfficiency as a player.

Ward asked Magee to recon- sider his resolution, but Magee fol- lowed wtih another letter in which he stated he had come to the con- clusion that the best possible actlon was for him to resigh. Ward was convinced that Magee would probably be better off if he returned to the ranks and acordingly acepted the resignation. Magee's re- tirement as manager will result in no reduction- in his salary, which is said ta be $9,500 a year. His con- tract has two more years to run, Suffering from “Nerves.” Magee failed to take his place at second base with the Brookfeds last Thursday, and asserted that he was suffering from a case of the ““nerves.” The poor way the club was going had made him irritable, and he was losing weight and not feeling just right., His flelding and batting had fallen off a good deal, too.

In John Ganzel the Brookfeds “ould get a manager who has proved Nis worth both as a player and a der. Ganzel came to Rochester in 1909, and immediately won the Eastern League pennant. He re- beated in 1910 and 1911, and there- after was always a strong contender. Ganzel first came to the notice of New York fans in 1903, when he played first base, under Clarke Grif- fith, on the first New York' Amer- iran League team. In 1905 with the coming of Hal Chase, Ganzel was no longer neecded, and he quit New York. Piloted Reds For Year. In 1908 he again came into promi- nence as manager of the Cincinnati Natlonals, in place of Ned Hanlon. Despite the usual interfercnec of club officials, Ganzel made a good show- ing, but onc seascn in Cincinnati was enough for him, and the next year found Ganzel in Rochester.

JIMMY AUSTIN SUSPENDED, St. Lous, Aug 18.—Jimmy Austin, third baseman of the St. Louis Ampricans, récdelved notice from President Ban Johnson of the league which he asked to be relieved of the | | quick 174 Grantlend Rice Sir Pat Moran. No oracles have yanked him up With John McGraw or Mack; They've tied no .P L. handle To his good old Irish name; They've called him nc Napoleon As he surged to the attack— But bless his good Irish soul He’s up there just the same. 80 Pat here’s looking at you— Doggone your Irish hide, You may not win—but wotthehel, You've given ’'em a ride. Resuming With Pat, Out of all the pink and white bou- quets tossed here and there this sea- son, Pat Moran is the oné man who has received far less than nis due. No one has referred to him as a Miracle Man, a Peerless t.eader or a Napoleon. But for all that Moran has turned in one of the finest little managing Jobs any campaign has éver known. Above all else, he hag held a club to- gcther that in the pust was noted for a fragile morale up against the test. And in days of trial and tribu- lation he has held his poise and di- rected his club for the future rather than for the immediate present. One Example. Here is one example of Moran's keen leadership. After a good start the Phillies began to quiver and slip. Scveral of his pitehers began to flut- ter and flounder along the way. The temptation was strong at these spots to throw in Alexander vut of turn and check the descent. But Pat held Big Alec out of the melee and permitted him to work only in his turn. No ettémpt was made to muve the day by overworking his star. As a result of this skilful management and unusual | foresight, Moran is now able to face the stretch with Alexander in prime shape, Tready to give his best. There were several occasions when it looked as if the Phillles were pointed toward the bosky dell for a disappearance. Other man- agers around the landscape were picking them to break ana fade away. But Moran refuséd to be stampeded into taking any unusual risks. He held his clan together, kept them hustling, and now has a fine chance to reap the main N. L. glory of the year. The Two Favorites. Ten days ago there weére six strong candidates for the top. Then the Giants and Cubs dropped back. When Cincinnati crushed Pittsburg and Philadelphia smothered Boston, Philadelphia and Brooklyn for the time being assumed the pulk of the spotlight. These two entries must now be con- sidered as the best bets, and if they can repulse the western attack these next two weeks, especially the as- saults of Pittsburg, they should fight out the championship on the road through September—ana on the road Philadélphia has travelled at a faster clip than Brooklyn. The Casé of the Braves. Rammed back into the rut as they were in Philadelphia, the Braves have now been driven to their 1ast line. Last fall at this stage they had one club to beéat—the rapidly fading Giants, Today they have at least three clubs to erush, and nothing man in the tournament, coutsé in 72. man in fessional.
