 | Fairchild Out; Given Walking Papers by Blues
Sunday, October 19th , 1913
The Chicago Blues have severed ties with their manager, Jack Fairchild, announcing his firing this afternoon at a hastily called press conference.
General manager was quoted as saying the club has a lot of needs, beginning with a new skipper.
"He did the best he could, but we just did not see the improvement needed to get our team in the upper echelon in this league," he said. "The time was right for us to part company."
There's no word yet on who will be the new Chicago manager, although club sources say the list is short. |  | Carlin Removed in Cincinnati; Fired as Manager

With the Federally Aligned Baseball Leagues playoffs settled and a new champion crowned, it might appear as though baseball is ready to slink into hibernation until next year.

Trades and roster moves will continue over the next several months as teams look for that magic combination that will find them playing for next year's championship.
In baseball, nothing stands still and general managers can't afford to take this time off, lest they find themselves sitting in the unemployment line next year at this time. So while players are finally resting away some of their aches and pains, General Managers had better be ready to act!
