'- PAT MOHAN'S FAMOUS SLUGGER, WHO MAY MANAGE VERNON NEXT SEASON. It iSr I! ) - ; I -5 'Ssw - v ri ? a. , rt-j"--"'--'--- ""'"''m'fcSiR' ly " - ' i CLIFFORD C. CRAVATH MAY LEAD Outlook s for Philadelphia!! to Pilot Vernon. PATTERSON IS IN DISFAVOR Darmody Says Habit of "Not Get ting Along With Anyone" Bad. Club Owners Glad Chance Will Be With Angels. When Frank LeRoy Chance an nounced the other day that he had reconsidered his intention of quitting baseball and would head the Angels again in the Spring, it left only one club with which Gavvy Cravath has any chance of leading. Although Ham ilton Patterson signed up for 1917 toward the fag end of last season, all indications point to the likelihood of Cravath becoming manager of Thomas J. Darmody's Vernon Tigers. A. recent vague dispatch from New Tork said that Cravath, the famous slugger of the Philadelphia National League club, had been offered the lead ership of a Pacific Coast League club, If this is true, and it seems to be. for Tom Darmody admitted in Los Angeles that Eddie Mater and Cravath had con ferred recently, then Vernon will have a new manager in 1917, if terms can be agreed upon. It has been rumored that Ham Pat terson -is not altogether to Tom' Dar mody's liking as a manager. ' Darmody acquired control of the Vernon club last Thursday through the purchase of 4630 of the 5000 shares of the Vernon Athletic Association from Ed R. Maier, president of the club. The approximate purchase price was 158,000. At the time the purchase was made Darmody said that he had not decided whether he would retain P. Hamilton Patterson as manager of the club. He denied, however, that he had made an offer to C. C. Cravath. He is quoted as follows: "I have a hard time on my hands, that of building practically a new team for next year. The brunt of this will fall on my manager. I understand that Mr. Maier had some dealings with Clifford Cravath, but no papers have been signed. I will be glad to talk with Cravath." Ham Patterson made a good fighting manager, but he did not get along with anyone. He was continually "panning" the president of the league for suspending him for different of fenses. This kind of "stuff" went with Eddie Maier, but now that he has sung his "swan song." and a fair-minded chap like Darmody is in control, Pat terson will unquestionably be removed, in the opinion of many of , the rabid onea. Oscar Stanage was the first-string catcher for Detroit during 1916, but if Ed Spencer does as well next year as he did at the close of last season, the Stanage will be relegated to the second-string job, although it is said that he has already been promised that he will be retained' on the club. 1 The news that Frank Chance would stick as leader of the Cafeteria City brigade during 1917 caused the rest of the Coast League owners to breathe a sigh of relief. When Chance told of his tentative offer to manage the Cubs he intimated that if he did not land the job he would probably quit baseball for good and all. But the Peerless Leader has a big block of stock in the Angels, and was probably persuaded that it was to his own interests to hold fast to the helm. There is not a club owner but what thinks Chance is one of the big draw ing cards of the circuit and an asset they couldn't well afford to lose. That problem out of the way, there is nothing remaining but to pick a manager for Vernon and shout: "Let 'er go!' Thomas . J. Darmody, new owner of the Vernon club. Is a versatile base ball magnate. He is well and favor ably known to baseball men both in the East and West. On learning of the Jeal that put Darmody in charge or the Bengals, James J. Jeffries was one of the first to swear allegiance to the Tigers. Jeff, formerly a great fan, has not taken much interest in baseball for two years. He and Darmody have been close personal friends for the past 25 years, and Tom ku on of. bia jaoat THE SIOEXEfG OEEGONIAIf, TUESDAT. DECE3IBER 19, 1916.
