Baseball Notes from New York Dec 14 1926 trading talks and manager changes
AP dispatch reports a muddled trading scene with remarks from Wilbert Robinson and Donne about material shortages. Joe McGinnity, once the "iron man," is released as Brooklyn coach at age 55 after a brief playing return. Minor leagues seek a salary boost for Landis, while aims to expand wall usage, and speculation links Ernie Collins to the Pirates or Yankees as Bowlie Rush takes the plate. National League owners explain the wall increase and the 1926 season’s 5148 long wall plays marked a rise from 1925.
