Weeghman, Ball Fire Managers

NEW YORK, NY. October 18, 1912 - Yesterday, Charles Weeghman fired his manager, Ángel Contreras, citing "failure to utilize all elements of his roster properly." Speaking to reporters while cleaning out his office, Contreras was asked to comment on that assessment. He responded, "Part of a team's success comes from the talent that is put on the field every day. It's common knowledge that the Whales are missing a few key components. I got the best out of the talent I was given. Maybe the wrong person was fired."

The St. Louis Terriers also fired manager Arnie Simpson. Club owner Phil Ball said it was a difficult decision, but one he had to make in order to get the team playing "Terriers baseball" again. No successor has been announced, but team officials said the replacement process was well underway.
