 | You're Fired! Maroons Can GM Martin
Wednesday, October 18th , 1916
In a move that surprised few, the Sacramento Maroons have dismissed general manager Seth Martin.
Martin's job security has been in doubt for some time, as the Maroons have lost games, whiffed on key draft picks and not been able to engineer a turnaround through free agency.
Martin seemed ready to move on, and even before today's announcement few observers expected him to stick around into next season.
"I will cherish my time in Sacramento," Martin said. "I'm sorry it had to end this way but it is clear the relationship was not working." | | | Manager Clary History; Maroons Start Search

In an expected move, the Sacramento Maroons fired manager Brian Clary today.
The team had not been performing up to expectations, and it was thought to be just a matter of time before the move was made.
"We've decided to go in a different direction," Sacramento general manager Seth Martin explained to the assembled press. "We'd like to thank Brian for his service and wish him well in the future."
The organization has been mum on possible candidates for the position, but expect to name a replacement soon. |  | Manager Buck Gets Walking Papers in San Francisco

The San Francisco Miners finally pulled the trigger today, firing manager Paul Buck.
Buck was rumored to be on the chopping block for some time, and the team ownership had apparently had enough of the club's lack of success.
"We had a good relationship, but we just didn't make enough progress under his leadership," general manager Lawrence Hall said. "We thought we gave him everything he needed for success, but it just didn't happen."
No replacement has been named. | | |
