Before the league is much older we would advise officials to give some thought to speeding up the games. Saturday night s affair took considerably More than two hours.

By red Smith copyright 1950 new York Herald Tribune inc new York As the sixth a week of the baseball season ended. Two managers in league lost their the american jobs although Only one of them had Ever actually held his. It was not particularly astonish ing when Chicago White sox fired Jack Onslow who had run the club More or less since the Start of the 1949 season. It was an Eye widening Surprise when Philadel phia athletics replaced their assistant manager Earle Thaddeus Mcgillicuddy heir apparent to father s Tower office for thirty seven years. Nothing could be much Simp Ler than the Case of Jack Onslow ail last summer he and Chicago s new general manager Frank Lane were feuding and fighting and fuss ing and when Jack s first season Drew to a close the in Chicago was no More than one of them would be Back this year. They both were Back this year however but whether on Friendly terms or unfriendly or in a it att of unarmed truce is not known Here. The White sox finished sixth under Onslow last year and were the Choice of several american eague managers to make a splash As the league s most improved club this season. The Rookie Gus Zer Nial had batted stoutly until he broke a Collarbone a year ago and t was expected that he and Heinle Majesky would make the sox an unpleasant team to pitch against this they turned out to be uncommonly plezant. They won Only eight James under Onslow thu year to on alow got canned. Firing the manager ii the remedy almost invariably applied by club whose players Aren t Good enough. Chuck Comiskey of the White sox is a very Young owner but he to have Learned the first Lemon. In faithful adherence to the accepted pattern Comiskey issued a pleasant statement that Onslow a it trying character who done his Best. He then closed the door behind John. At this distance it is impossible to guess whether Onslow is the greatest manager that Ever lived he worst or something in be tween. It can be pointed out How Ever that if you were to rate Casey Stengel exclusively off his record As manager of bad base Nail teams you could not possibly believe him capable of the spec ocular Job he performed last yeas when he finally got a Good team. The guess Here is that it was athletics Board of directors rather than Connie Mack himself who decided to appoint Mickey Coch Rane general manager of the club shift Earle Mack from assistant manager to chief scout and make Jimmy Dykes chief lieutenant and presumptive successor to Connie this guess is based on the fact that for years and years and Yean Connie has answered All questions about his ultimate retirement with the statement that he would quit when he got Good and ready am that nobody was going to succeed him hit Ion. Most successful business men Lope for a son to carry on the business when they Are done and such a desire is especially understandable in a Man who had a part n the birth and growth of the business and in fifty years As the team s Only manager acquired con rolling interest in the Organiza Tion and made its name synonymous with his. Earle was Connie s candidate because he is the Only one of his sons who has stayed with his father in the dugout Roy Mack and Connie jr., having gone into the business end of the firm.

And nobody in the Shibe Park office is unaware of the need for aggressive intelligent leadership for the athletics to match the enterprising administration of their rising tenants the Phillies. The possibility that this might come to pass May have occurred to some minds As far Back As the Winter of 194s. By that time con Nie had removed Earle from the coaching line he explained that others have Felt that when the time came for Connie to make the break a clean break would be Best for the club. Dykes has been years earlier was hired As for Many years a popular Choice with those who held this View for several reasons. His son now fifty eight was Gettin along in years. Dykes who had gone from Philadelphia to Chicago Jimmy has a wide personal popu Larity in his Home town. He and Cochrane Are great favourites with the fans the press and Connie himself and they pro vide a link Between today and the Bright past when they played to Jether on the Uit great athletic a coach just before the Winter meetings in Chicago.
