SPORTS

By Eddie Ash

THIS IS the time of the vear when ball piayers and fans start to speculate about managerial changes, and right now the American League boys seem to be doing plenty of speculating, writes Charles I’. Ward of the Detroit Free Press. Detouring from his own club, the Tigers, Del Baker, who is doing all right, Ward dis

pilot situation on the seven other clubs. “For better or for worse. Oscar Vitt seems definitely out at Cleveland,” savs Ward. “It is doubtful whether Oscar will do any more sobbing than Walter Johnson or Steve O'Neill did, when they were let out, and they did less than a little. ‘Both seemed to be as fed up with the “Cleveland situation as Cleveland seemed to be with them, ‘Vitt, the grapevine telegraph says, saved his money when he was a player and will not have. to go on relief even if he doesn’t have a job next season. But there have been hints that he will be welcomed to a place in the New York Yankee chain if Cleveland doesn't want him ‘It should be remembered that, in the first place, Oscar was hired by Owner Alva Bradley because he was a successful minor league manager and not because Bradley liked the cut of his jib or the way he combed his. hair.

Luke Sewell Tabbed As Likely Choice

“BILL TERRY has been mentioned as the successor to Vitt at Cleveland, but Coach Luke Sewell seems a more likely choice—Luke and the committee that has been running the club this season. ‘The committee seems destined to stay on in Cleveland for the gimple reason that the members in putting their petards under Vitt, practically destroyed their value to other clubs, “Few managers would be willing to approve of a deal for a Trojan horse, let alone a whole stableful ot them. Not being able to sell or trade his players, Bradley is going to have to keep them. ‘So they'll probably continue to be hoss at Cleveland with Sewell or somebody else fronting for them. Sewell, however, right now seems to have the best chance of getting the title of manager.

“IN ST. LOUIS the boys are doing a lot of speculating about the chances of Fred Haney keeping his job as Brownie chief, ‘Indications are that little Frederick's chances are good, for it seems to be the general impression that he has made the most of his material He is popular around the league and, what is more important, with President Don Barnes. ‘No political situation has developed in St. Louis which wouid inforce a managerial change, so it looks as Frederick will stay on. If he doesn’t stay with the Browns he may be grabbed up by another club—and quickly. McManus has been mentioned as a pos= sible successor, but Marty wants to remain at San Antonio.

Harris May Move Into Front Office

“JIMMY DYKES is certain to keep his job as White Sox leader, Connie Mack is practically the Athletics in Philadelphia, Joe McCarthy is secure as director of the New York Yankees, and Joe Cronin has a long-term contract to master-mind the Boston Red Sox The speculators have been doing quite a bit about the future of Bucky Harris at Washington, Harris continues to be one of the most respected and best liked of managers, but the speculators seem to think that he is getting out of the manager class and that he deserves something better.

One wise old speculator remarked recently, ‘Harris is the best front office material that has come into the "American League in vears. He seems born for that kind of job. Old Griff is still able to handle himself just as Bucky is able to do a swell job of running a ball club. But old Griff is getting old and may want some help. I wouldn't be surprised if he made Bucky his general manager one of these days. *That, swell idea.”

The ability to play better than .600 ball was inherent in the club all the time. “A good deal of the printed comment on our recently improved position sounds too much like an indictment of the Yankees. to make it as emphatic as I can that the boys aren't playing more alert aren't giving the job anything more than they gave it from the opening day of the season, “This rally is not the product of more effort. as some of the experts have hinted, of a belated realization that

DANIEL jobs and salaries had to be protected for 1941 espite the fact that a new rile of the American League prevented us from making any trades, this was not a complacent club at any stage of the season.” On the night of July 4, Cleveland led the American League by a margin of one length over Detroit, Boston was third, and New York fourth, four and a half lengths behind the pace. The Yankees were only five games over the 500 mark and were far too erratic to arouse any hope for a serious splurge. Cleveland appeared to be the best of a bad-looking lot. Since July 4, the Yankees have outdone the Cleveland club, MeCarthy's men have won 35 and lost 24 in that stretch, and the Vittmen have won 31 and lost 24, The real impetus to New York success acquisition of Ernie Bonham, right-hande; Another vital factor has been the renaissance of Grandma Murphy as a relief wizard.

Ayres Stake Feature of Harness Card

By J. E. O'BRIEN

Today's rich Fox Stake for 2-year-old pacers was to be the last of] the big money races for the squine | prima donnas at the Fair Grounds | but that's not to say the quality | of competition will slump in the | final two harness programs. Fleet-hoofed fields have been lined up for t@gmorrow’'s four-race menu, and the fans can expect to see some pacing and trotting as lively—or maybe livelier—as that shown in the contests for the heavy | dough. | Tomorrow's feature is the L. S.| Ayres Stake for 2:07 class trotters | and it has a value of $1500, But | the railbirds are eyeing the free-for-all pace, which carries a $1000 purse and which has attracted a field of four speedsters.

Hoosiers Favor Little Pat

It's no secret among the stopwarch-and-fieldglass bovs that the fastest time of the racing week can be expected in this event. Homestate boosters naturally favor Little Pat, a Bourbon-hred pacer developed by

A. J. Worsham. Most horsemen agree that Little Pat is just about tops today in his class, granted that he 1s beaten to the wire now and then And he will have Grade A opposition tomorrow. Among those declared are Chief Counsel, 1:58'5: Blackstone, 1:573%, and Dusty Hanover, 1:59, A field of seven is expected for the Ayres feature. Competing in this will be such entries as Bravo, Abbot, 2:02. Others to parade 2:01; Sister Mary, 2:00%. and The to the post are Royal Spencer, Tom Manning, and Spintel.

Big Dough to Bill Gallon

Third event on th® all-star program will be the Indiana Stake, a $1200 race for 2:14 pacers. Your favorites here will be Johnnie Hal, 2:01':; Pt W, 2:02':, and Miss Princess Laurel, 2:01. The final race will be the Commissioner of Agriculture stake, in which ten 3-year-old trotters will go to the post to bid for the $1000 purse

Bill Gallon Shows the Way in Harness Feature

Here is Bill Gallon, with Lee Smith at the reins, leading the field of six 2-vear-old trotters into the stretch in the second heat of the rich Horseman Stake. Fighting nose and nose for second position are Florimel (on the rail) and Guy Barnes. Bill Gallon won this harness feature in straight heats.

These are the gentlemen who keep official eves on the trotting and pacing races at the CL They are (left to right) Charles Morris of Salem, superintendent of speed: Steve Phillips of Xenia, starter; Harrie Jones of Rushville, assistant superintendent of speed, and Fred Norrick of Muncie, Wa of the course.

It develops that Bonham was worked little in March because he was suffering from a back injury. The pitcher explained nothing, the manager said about as much, and so Ernie passed on to the Kansas City team labeled “lazy.” Well, he hasn't been very lazy since

he eame back early in August Why wasn't Bonhain called earlier? That is a question which involves the policy between the Yankees and their Newark and Kansas City subsidiaries, The parent club is pledged not to raid the farms once the season gets under wav, But for the fact that Kansas City had a comfortable lead it would not have been possible to get Bonham even as late as August The Yankees sincerely believe they ca there is no doubt they are counting on a powerful ally pressure under which the Vittmen have heen laboring ever dozen of them revolted against the leadership of Oscar Vitt Cleveland players have been ridden hard all over the circuit have been hooted by the fans, Against this insidious influence have played remarkably good ball But the double defeat by Browns on Labor Day may have been the break Three and a half games behind Cleveland this morning, with anly 28 to be played, the Yankees appreciated that even if they continued their remarkable spurt, they could not win unless the Vittmen cracked,
