ASSISTANT MANAGER IS NEW

Coachers Are Things of Past In Amen lean League—Clarence Rowland Going It Alone. X - There are no such things as coachers with American league clubs these days. The old-timers who get out on the lines and help move the runners around are “assistant managers.” The club that doesn’t carry such a prop to the manager Is the exception. Here are some of the “assistant managers”: Boston Red Sox, Charley Wagner; Cleveland Indians, Herman Schaefer; New York Yankees, Paddy O’Connor; St Louis Browns, Jimmy Burke; Detroit Tigers, Bill Donovan; Washington, Nick Altrock and George Mcßride. Connie Mack has no assistant since Harry Davis retired and Clarence Rowland is going it alone except for a field captain since Kid Gleason quit him.
