Cubs M manager also president in Cubs club anew
Fred Mitchell, manager of the Chicago National League club, is slated to become president before the NL meeting in New York on December 10. He will direct on field duties next season if play resumes and hold complete executive charge while Weeghman relinquishes day to day control but keeps financial stake. Mitchell’s leadership has made him popular in Chicago and he plans to field the same team, barringArmy-driven outgoings, with potential return of Pitcher Alexander. He has served as a Red Cross bundle boy during wartime relief work.
