HOW BLUES WON THAT PENNANT THEY LED IN SEVERAL WAYS
ANSAS CITY'S Blues who obliged the experts by winning the pennant after being picked in the early April consensus, led the league in stolen bases, double plays and chances accepted in the field. Gerry Priddy, second sacker, was tops in doubles and triples and Vince DiMaggio in home runs. . . . He also may win the runs-batted-in title after all official scores are checked. . Phil Rizzuto was second in stolen bases. Power, speed and good pitching, all in one, made the Blues one of the best balanced minor league clubs in the game's history. » ” PORTING NEWS IS unusual in at night 20. there with the races now to be anv A year ago, the heads of Charley Grimm of the Cubs, Garry Street the Browns, Mickey Cochrane of the Tigers and Frank Frisch of the Cardinals toppled in the late summer in rather quick succession Not one of the group was re-engaged as a major league pilot; Grimm and Frisch are baseball broadcasters, Cochrane went into

Significant of a New Spirit T Is likely that one or more changes in big league managerial ranks
I will take place d g the wmter, but the fact that the playIiNg season already h run most of its course without a single ouster among the pilots is signi yy of a new spirit Apparently, owners and fans alike are becoming more tolerant and less inclined to hc on the shoulders of a manager the entire blame for the season's disappointments. It is a trend that recalls the rough-and-ready spirit of fair play epitomized in the America of frontier days by the signs Which read: “Don’t shoot the plano plaver—he's doing the best he can.”
HERE even is a possibility that all of the 16 managers who were in the saddle when the umpires velled “Play Ball!” at the opening days last spring, will be in the same posts when the 1940 campaigns get under way next April That would be something rare, indeed In fact, it would be something of a record, because in the past there have been as many as nine managerial changes from one major league season to another,
Kiki Fools His Club Boss
OLLOWING his spectacular drive to the pennant with a Chattanooga team “that didn't figure,” fans of the Southern Associa tion are speculating on how long it will be before Hazen (Kiki) Cuyler makes his way into the majors as a manager. Kiki swept his own boss, Joe Engel, president of the Lookouts, off his feet with remarkable finish that climaxed with the pennant clincher on the final day of the race, Sept. 10. Engel saw so little chance for his team when he sold Outfielder Bill Nicholson to the Cubs and permitted him to report to the Chicago club, Aug. 1, that he publicly stated upon bringing in a young garden replacement and other recruits, “Wee building for next year.”

HIS was Kiki's first season as a manager. . . . job as an outfielder was with Brooklvn in 1938 he played with Pittsburgh, in 1923. He remained to the Cubs following the
