Wambsganns Named Mobile Manager in Southern League
Bill Wambsganns known as Wamby from the 1920 Boston Americans is set to manage Mobile Club of the Southern Association. He lacks prior managerial experience, having moved from Cedar Rapids to Cleveland in 1914 for 1250 dollars, then to Boston where he starred as an infielder and made the unassisted triple play in the 1920 World Series. The piece also notes debate among writers about ballplayer reporting during the World Series, with New York backing player-writers while Chicago and St. Louis oppose.
