demands thus far, but that this fea

of many who have subscribed to
the organization was shown last
summer, when in discussing the
matter the players said that a de
mand for half pay on training trips
would be asked In 1913. No men-'

knows, of demands as to salary in

of the Detroit players while on

movement would necessarily result
in failure. Organizer! baseball is
far more stronglj- fortified today
than it was In 1890, when the un
successful Brotherhood revolt oc
curred. But it Is not likely that
players, in the light of past expe
riences and with so wise a head as
David Fultz leading the associa
tion. will attempt any movement of
this sort, at least until they have
extended their organization to at
least as low as class B
Then, if a considerable percent
age of their members do not suc
cumb to tempting offers sure to be
made by the magnates of the two
big leagues in event of a strike,
they can go out with some rea
sonable prospects of success.
A strike under existing conditions
would be almost necessarily fatal.

Haifa Dozen Ambitious Leaders Have Already Been Given Ukase
WHOLESALE DECAPITATION OF MAJOR MANA6ERS
By Damon Runyon.
IT'S surely one sad and mourn
ful scene to wake up every
morning and find the back
yard bestrewn with jobless base
ball managers, just as a long, hard
winter is about to break out and
run amuck. If al! the various
changes had beem made during the
course of the regular season, the
clutter could have been cleared
away in the general routine of
business without attracting any
great amount of attention, but at
this particular time the huge mass
of the unemployed is clogging the
wheels of traffic.
So far, about half a dozen big
league managers have been given
the good old raus, with several
precincts which are normally “agin”
second terms for any leader yet to
' be heard from.
Joe Tinker is apparently to sup
plant Hennery O’Day at Cincinnati,
which Is a dignified way of stating
that Josephus will horn the ex-ump
out of a fkt situation. Presumably
Hennery will again don the blue
badge of big league servitude, un
less Murphy signs him to take Joe's
job at short. Hennery is said to
have a standing offer from Ban
Johnson.
Johnny Evers has succeeded
Frank Chance as chief of the
bogged-down Cub machine, and all
John has to do to make a big hit is
to get a new shortstop, outfield and
pitching staff, and finish firs? in
1913.
Stovall Takes to Worrying.
Roger Bresnahan is quite natur
ally uttering shrill, flutelike notes
over his nummary dismissal at St
Louis, but It is said that th# Great
Hen Pecked has been offered the
St. Louis Browns As Chalice is
also alleged to have been tendered
the same job, George Stovall has
something to think about o’ nights.
The St. Louis Cardinal schedule Is
for Miller Huggins to relieve the
Rajah, unless the Duke of Bucking
ham gets relief from some court.
George Stallings has eased him
self into a situation without any
great disturbance, although it is
said Johnny Kling went away from
