June 26, 1908 - The Anaconda Standard (Anaconda, Montana) - Elberfeld to Lead in Place of Griff
ELBERFELD TO LEAD IN PLACE OF GRIFF
Philadelphia June 25.—It was announced today that. Norman Elberfeld, the gingery little shortstop. will take the place of Clark Griffith as manager of the New York American league team,
Under the direction of Elberfeld the Yankees played in much better form this afternoon against the Athletics, seeming to imbibe some of the snap of the "Tabasco Kid."
Elberfeld is a man of the McGraw type, always aggressive yet seldom allowing this to interfere with the finer points of the game. He has better material at hand than had McGraw when he took the leadership of the Giants and it is possible that he will achieve much the same resultt although
the fight In the American league will be much harder.
In New York the news was taken as an indication that there is some thing beyond the surface, despite the
statement of Griffith declaring that there was no friction in the team. The appointment of Elberfeld to succeed the "Old Fox," is not looked on as the wisest move that could have bean made.
Farrell told the learn today he would get one or two more players if necessary to bolstar up the Yankees.
