Tuesday, October 2nd , 1917
The Birmingham Ironmen have sent manager Charles Hinton packing, and there are plans to announce a replacement soon.
The Birmingham general manager was appreciative of his efforts this past year, but said the team did not make the progress necessary to make them a contender.
"We might promote within the organization, or we might just go out and get the best skipper available," GM Johnson said. "No decision has been made on that, but we will make it soon."
The departing manager told reporters that "management and owners want instant improvement and instant gratification."
"Building a contender takes time and good players," Hinton said. "We made some progress, but it wasn't enough." | | |
