CUBSMANAGER MAY BE OUSTED Gabby Hartnett May Be r Ousted As Manager Os Chicago Cuba ' Chicago, Oct. 12. <UJO Phil X. 1 Wrigley, owner of the Chicago Cub*. Indicated today hie agents are looking for a man to take over the hottest managerial seat In ba**- - ball. Wrigley voiced displeasure at H failure of hla team to finish higher I than fourth place in the National ' league and Ita collapse In the city - series agslnst the White Box. then , <ald simply: II "I've reached no conclusion on whether Gabby Hartnett will be 1 manager again next year.” Even the youthful magnate admitted hl» feeling* now are those of a disappointed baseball fan and that he will "wait a few daya to i cool off a little" before making any 1 decision Wrigley reportedly was seeking a man outside the Cub organisation 'io rebuild his club leading possibility for the Job during summer speculation was Frankie Friffch. who ha* signed to manage the j I Pittaburgh Pirate* Also mention-1 led were Frank I Lefty I ODoul of San Franctaeo and Jack I-ellvelt of Seattle, successful managers in the Pacific coast league. Hartnett replaced Charlie Grimm as manager of the Cubs In July, 1938. and led them to a pennant, personally hitting the famous "twi- ■ light homer" that led to Pitts- ; burgh's downfall iw their final aer- ‘ ies of the year. This season the ' | Cubs never were a threat. Hartnett and Wrigley never | have been as close as the Grimm- i Wrigley combination. Hartnett re-' reived hi* appointment only after Grimm had insisted to Wrijley that he was the best man for the job Rumor* of dissatisfaction among the players, always plentiful on J Cub teams, reached a new high * this summer. The Dixxy Dean ■ slashing episode in a New York • hotel brought several stories into the open although the actual in- J jury to Dixty's left arm had noth- ' Ing to do with baseball. In regard to Dean. Wrigley alsc ■ appeared undecided. Di* has talk- 1 ed over 194® terms with Charles i I < Boots) Weber, the Cub's vice-1 pYesident, but settled nothing. One report said Dean had asked ( for his third Cub contract of 820.- 1 . 000 a year and had received an > offer of half that figure DU indicated he would ask to be placed on the voluntary retired list rather than accept such a salary cut. o Decatur Bowling League Results I ♦“— . 1 Bob Eyanson. one of Molly Mies i pin boys at the Recreation alleys, paced the keglers in the Merchant i League last night with a 561 . . .
