WHO WILL MANAGE THE BROWNS? One intriguing possibility: Bill Killefer, a coach of the WORLD CHAMPION CARDINALS! Asked about Killefer, Ball replied, "Why, he's coach of the Cardinals, isn't he?" For now, the Browns' managerial future remains a mystery

**BREAKING**
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 12, 1926—While the Cardinals celebrate their world championship, their American League neighbors are making headlines of a different sort. George Sisler, one of baseball's greatest hitters, is OUT as manager of the St. Louis Browns!

[1926 Cardinals @CardsManager]

The former Michigan star joined the Browns in 1915 & became one of the game's greatest batsmen. In 1922, he hit an astonishing .420 & stole 51 bases! Sinus trouble cost him the entire 1923 season, but he returned to the diamond & eventually resumed his duties as player-manager.

The pennant-mad crowd as the players appeared.

ST. LOUIS STAR & TIMES
Highlights from 1926 World Series Champion #StlCards homecoming to St. Louis, Oct 11, 1926:

Along with the clownish #StlCards booster, Theodore Harris, a cripple, who came here from Illinois in an electric wheel chair to cheer his favorites.

There were old men, men in overalls, collarless men, top-hatted men who came in motorcars, women in housedresses, women in furs, women in Spanish costumes... flappers, zippers, long-haired girls, bob-haired girls & thousands of other girls unrelegated for classification.

SPORTSMAN'S PARK
Oct 11, 1926
By 7 o'clock the old section of the grandstand was literally jammed. The aisles were crowded, 15 to 20 persons were standing in each of the boxes and there was a triple row behind the upper rails of both decks.

[1926 Cardinals @CardsManager]

Every age and state of life was in that crowd in living testimonial to the catholicity of baseball's appeal. There were schoolboys of all ages and sizes, young mothers with babes in their arms, older mothers who were escorted to their chairs by grown sons.
