POLLOCK TRA THOMAS is a manager today. but tomffrrow is another dar. and Ira may or may not be a manager. At , present Ira is the most discussed man connected with baseball lu the South. Not lonp: ago the former Mack catcher was appointed acting manager of the Atlanta Club of the Southern League d.v i;nariey l raw:, wno. heretofore, has been bosiing the Crackers. President Logan, of the Mobile Club, has pro tested Ira on the ground that he i; ! violating baseball law by accepting a salary from Connie Mack as scout of the A's at, well as receiving compensa tion from the Atlanta club. Trouble between Mobile and Atlanta has been brewing for some time and the , players have become so imbued that every time the clubs meet there is a near free-for-all. President Logau hns taken the matter so seriously that he has called a conference of the board of directors , in an effort to have Thomas and Flank expelled from the league. Thomas coraOR back with the same ar gument against Logan. The veteran maskman states that Logan is not only receiving falary from the Mobile or ganization, but is being paid by Armour & Co. This is Ira's first fling in a managerial role and so far it lia been a lhcly ono and none too pleasant. Since putting his .mask and chest protector aside Ira has scouted for Mack besides coaching the 'Williams College nine. Josh Devore Fired Again JOSH DUVOKE is out of a job agaiu. The comedian-outfielder has heen given the go-way by Jack Hendricks, who is managing the Indiitnapolis Club of the American Association. Josh was granted his unconditional release.

Devoro had, a lot of good fortune. He is reputed to hae shared irt more world's seriw money than any) other player in the game. Even after his. long stay with the Giants be broke into the fall classics. In 1014 he was with the Phils and was traded to the Braves in time for the championship series and in 1015 he came back to the Phils in the year that the only National League pennant came to this city. After Josh drifted out of the majors he was signed by Kansas City and then released. For a time before he went with Indianapolis he was drlviug a milk wagon in the West. It's buck to the early morning route for Josh now. Ed Walsh Retires BESIDES Devore, another famous big leaguer has passed out of the game. Ed Walsh, who became famous as a spitball artist with the White Sox. has announced his retirement. Ed has been pitching for Clarence Rowland with the Milwaukee Club of the American Association. In handing his resignation to Row land Walsh stated ng his reason for retiring the fact that spitballs aie no longer permitted in the circuit.
