Bresnallsn to Succeed Ever: and
ilhlvlnnton to Lose lob, Other
Chicago Rumors
m"...
CHICAGO. Aug. 5.~Jake 'Stalll. dis.
charged manager of the Red Sox. will
find himself in distinguished company
soon. it rumors circulated around Cili-
cngo pan out. According to these stor-
ies, Johnny Evers is to be dethroned
as leader of the Cubs. Jimmy Callahan
is to be taken out of the management .
of the White Sex. and Tom Chlvington
is 'to be pried loose from his job as
head of the American Association.
The stories concerning Evers have
been going the rounds for a long time.
but the Callahan and Chivington sensa-
tions are new. Cal has been getting
the portion of all managers who fall
hto a losing streak. the bleacher crit-
ics especially having gone after his
scalp. It is said also that Callnahn's
methods of handling his men on the
fieldmparticularly the language he
uses toward tllem~hnve caused some
soreness among members of the team.
if Callahan goes. Stalll. it is said. will
succeed him .
There can be no doubt that some of
the West Side fans have become rest-
less under Evers' constant runins with
himself put off the field when he is
needed most. Ills friends insist it is
the nmpires' fault bud declare the of‘
dlcials in the National League have it
in for the Cubs' manager to the east
tent that they will chase him to the
('llll) house for little offences that
would 'call forth nothing but a warning
if practiced by other players.
it Evers is to be relieved of the
management of tlle~Cubs Roger Bres-
nnllnn. it is generally agreed, is the
man to succeed him. There has been
‘i‘riction between ‘Evcrs and Bresnnhnn
and probably always will be. lt is well-
known among baseball men that when

Frank Chance believes Joe Boehling,
Washington‘s sensational southpaw
youngster. who won eleven games in a
row, will not last long in the big
leagues. “Four out of live bails he
throws are curves." says the P. h.
”and he will be all through in a couple
of seasons. it doesn‘t matter how
strong he is. Nobody can confine him-
self to curves and stay up here. l've
seen a lot of them break into the big
leagues and curve eight out of every
ten balls. and ill a year or two they
were back in the minors. Grliiitll
might as well use him all he can now,
for he won‘t hum him to use many
