Joe McCarthy May Be Out At Boston Cleveland. O. Oct 9 (t'P) The Boston Bed Sox. who had very fine lu< k with one ex Yankee manager, were said today to be on the verge of replacing him with another By mutual agreement. It was learned that neither the Bed Sox nor Marse Joe McCarthy were par ticularly Interested in keeping company with each other through the 1949 season And at the same time It haiked as if Bucky Harris might take over as his replacement McCarthy, who did a terrific Job In leading the Sox to the first pennant tie in American league history. wasn’t under fire because he couldn't manage to beat the Indians in the playoff game that would have put his club Into the world' series. The Bed Sox high command figured that he did an excellent job — under the circumstances. But it Is no secret that McCarthy, an irascible sort of person who frets with himself, with his players, his bosses and with newspapermen, had an unhappy year in 'Boston He couldn't get away from there quickly enough and he wanted no part of a world series that his team didn’f get into. Instead, he drove back home to his chicken and flower farm near Buffalo. N. Y . the same farm to which he went for what he hoped would be permanent retirement when he quit the Yankees in 1946. McCarthy, of course, can come j back If he wants to. and if the Bed Sox want him to His contract has another year to nun But after a fcry rough year for all parties concerned it seemed that it might be that discretion woßld ' be the better part of valor for the bluff-tongued veteran of many a • dalmond war For one thing, the new trend in baseball seems to be toward managers who are patient and under- . standing, who treat their players . In a friendly even fatherly way That Isn't McCarthy’s manner of ' doing business His players get the needle and they get it sharply i . for their mistakes , Some of them openly resented , him Others respected him as a i "great manager" but not a felI low that "you cun get very close II to." 1 1 In contrast, Harris, fired this i week by the New York Yankee brass hats who seem to think that . a manager who comes up with any-! thing but a world championship is a failure, has a tremendous personal following The players go , all out for him. he has the best press in the business, and he is a pretty shrewd manager. He would fit In nicely in Boston , where millionaire Tom Yawkey has , spent many of his shekels seeking , pennants. He would have the kind i of a ball club he could place into ; contention and if he missed winning the pennant he wouldn’t have to worry Jhe next day about whether he still had a job. Moose Join Cows Rochester, N. H (UP) —When Wilfred Gagne gazed from a window of his farm home, he was astonished to see two moose grazing in a pasture with his cows As he ran out for a closer view, the moose dashed away into nearby ~ woods. .
