READING, PA. October 9, 1917 - Despite bringing the Reds two Presidents Cup Championships, Rube Coffee was let go as Reading's skipper yesterday.
At the press conference, the Reading general manager said, "Letting somebody go is never a happy experience, but in this business, you have to do it, when you see your club is not headed in the right direction. If hard work and dedication were all it took to build a winning team, Coffee would have done it. But it takes more than that. I think the world of him personally, but it was time for a change."
This past season, Reading finished with a 79-75 record and twenty-one games back of first place. Club sources were not sure who the new skipper might be and would not speculate as to the successor.
