EXPECTED TO WORK MIRACLE

George Moriarity, Former Tiger and New Manager of Memphis Team, Has Hard Job Ahead. Speaking of the change in managers at Memphis, Coyle Shea in News Scimitar says: “Watkins expects Manager George Moriarity to work a miracle with the

Chicks, but unless he can go in every other day and pitch winning ball hintself—he is an infielder by trade —he will find the Job a trifle tough, not to say exasperating, and exceptionally annoying. “He will find a club well schooled in the terrible art of losing games, but he is supposed to carry the necessary inspiration to bring it back into the runnings—- “ ‘lmmediate’ is the proper word, for unless help arrives from some source very soon it will be too late. Only the bubble, showing where they last sank, will be in evidence. “Moriarlty is rated a brilliant player and a wise general, but he will find blood a scarce article in southern turnips. Or rather in turnips in the Chick pantry. “Without criticizing Morlarity in the least, it can easily be said that with the present staff George won’t cause much alarm in Nashville, New Orleans and other high places.”
