NAT HERRESHOFF WILL NOT BUILD DEFENDER IN NATIONAL —SAYS FRANK CHANCE By Alien Sangree. S T LOUIS, May 23.—Frank Chance, one time bovtj of the Cubs, now- manager of the New York Hol landers. says this is the year an or dinary ball club can win the pennant In the National League. Mind you, it was the league of which he was formerly such a prominent part that the P L. was discussing. A learn of ordinary hitters, with or dinary pitchers, with ordinary base running and with ^ordinary thinking should grab the pennant in the senior major league organization, according to the former Cub bos?-*. "I never saw such an upset in the dope,” said Chance. "What is the answer?” he was asked. "There isn’t any answer that I know of.” was his reply. "Now. look at the Pirates. There was the team that looked to have a runaway race in the National. It looked like a walkover for Clarke and his men. They were playing the best bane ball in the league at the close of the season. They had the pitchers, the hitters, the fielders. They seemed to have everything. Can’t See the Phillies. "Clarke had a smarter ball club than McGraw He seemed to have better pitchers. He seemed to have a better balanced team The Pirates seemed to be the class of the leagpe. Yet look where the\ v are. "The Giants haven't been playing the kind of ba>*eball they played when they won pennants. McGraw has i team that should be beaten.” "But Hie Phillies?" it was sug gested. "I don’t figure them to win. They will go along In great shape for a while. Suddenly some fellow will b* 1 I injured. Then another will suffer an | accident. Then another, and pretty soon a pitcher w ill blow. Before you have realized it the team will b? j down It's the hard luck team of th • 1 league Thinks Cubs Have Chance. "I believe those Phillies have seared more people and have done less* rent damage than any ball club in the Na tional League.’’ "Who will win?” he was asked "1 don't know If the Cubs had a couple more pitchers and played consistent baseball they would win. If the Pirates played the game of which they ate capable they would win. If any team In the league got consistent pitching that was even good, fairly good hitting and played t just ordinary baseball every day I that team would win. } "it isn’t a knock on the old league. It's juct the peculiar condition which I prevails this year. It isn't that the teams aren't good, it’s because they are erratic.” » MATTY M'CUE AND ATTELL SIGN FOR 10-ROUND BOUT KENOSHA. W1S.. May 23. -Matty : McOue and Abe Attell have signed ' i for a ten-round bout here. The match • hinges on McCue’s winning from Pat sy Brannigan in Milwaukee next j Monday evening. The tentative date I for the McCue-Attell mill is June ft. CHRISTY MATHEWSOH'S BIG LEAGUl GOSSIP N EW YOHK, May -I Miring the I la St few days the I’irates have played much nearer their natural form than heretofore this season. After being beaten all over the circuit, the Pittsburg club came to New York and gave us a stiff battle when we were looking for something easy. They also gave the Dodgers a neat trimming. Fans have been talking about the weak pitching of the lira tea. The twirlers may have Iteen off before this, but they certainly braced up against us. Adams. Hendrix. Robin son and Cooper all looked good in New York, and the rest of the club played pretty fair hall except in a couple of games. The team seems to he getting had catching, the steady work of Hibson behind the hat being sadly missed. His absence also hurts the pitchers. He is laid up and will lie out of the game for some time. Poor throwing and had judgment behind the hat put the team off its balance in a couple of the com M'CARTY AND PELKY ARE READY FOR GO SATURDAY CALGARY. ALBERTA, May 23.— Arthur Pelky and Luther McCarty eased up to-day in their training. McCarty spent most of the day on horseback and in jawing Calgary scribes for poking fun at his "cowboy’ outfit. Pelky went for a long walk and then rested. Both men are on edge and look fit for a tough scrap. tests against us. • * * 'J'HK Pirates will Is* in the race, * ami don’t make any mistake about that. The club is just as good as the one which came so strong at the finish last year, and I predict that once this team gets going behind the pitching it is bound to get. there will 1** very few clubs in the league which will stop it. Personally, I atn tickled to death that Clarke’s team has made such a late start. In-cause it is going to do a whole lot of crowding at the finish. Practically there are only two changes In the team over last year, and these should strengthen it. Viox is playing second base, and. although it is his first season in the big league as a regular, he looked better than any of tin* several men who appeared at that place last year. He is the kind of a hall player that helps ahy team, aggressive and “crabbing” all the time. When he first joined the Pittsburg club he was known as the freshest bnsher ever to come up from the minors, and he still retains his fighting spirit. He also hits the ball hard, and is a difficult man to pitch to. refusing to otter at bad balls. A SIDE from all his natural accom- CHARLEY EBBETS TO FILE CHARGES AGAINST KLEM BROOKLYN, N. Y.. May 23. Pres ident Fbbets. of the Brooklyn club, was s> incensed over I’mpire Klein’s action in continuing the game with Pittsburg yesterday in the heavy rain that he announeed he would file chargee with the hoard of directors of the National League. The rain fell in torrents fr6m the second half of the third inning and the fi d was in frightful condition. The inflelders could hardly keep their feet going after hatted balls-. The pitchers could not control the wet bail and only clever work by the pitchers prevented wild pitches. SHAMROCK IV WILL NOT BE A “FREAK CRAFT” LONDON May 22.—Charles E Nicholson, the famous yacht designer, w ho will design the challenger Sham rock 1Y\ which will try to lift the America’s cup in 1914. declared to day that the new yacht will not be a "freak craft.” a personal shine to Viox. and this in itself is a big help to any player who joins the Pittsburg team. The Dutch man will teach him a lot of baseball. It is customary for Wagner to take up with some young fellow each sea son and string along with him. and the lucky recruit always benefits by it. Last year it was “Tom” Hendrix, and lief ore that it was “Jack” Miller, now playing first base. But the real wonder of the Pirates is Hans Wagner, who looks just the same as lie did when I broke into the league, except that his.hair is a little grayer, I»ecatise it wasn’t gray at all then. He looks just the same oil the ball field as far as his playing goes. He is a wonder for his age, thirty- nine, and is a grand example of what taking care of himself has done for him. He is hitting just as hard as he ever did this season, if not harder, and the chances are all in favor of him hatting over .300 once more, which he generally d»»es with great consistency. SEWANEE AND VANDERBILT CLASH AT NASHVILLE SEWANEE. TENN.. May 28.—The Se tt a nee Tigers play their last series of baseball to-day and Saturday with Van derbilt at Nashville. For the last few weeks the Tigers have been playing good hall. Captain Bordon shaking up the line-up after they returned from the long southern trip. McGopdwin. on first, is now play ing fine ball on the initial sack, which was the weak spot of the team. Captain Gordon will pitch the first game against the Commodores, and he < ught to land the first victory, as he has been pitching winnig hall all sea son. Eggleston will be in the box in the second contest. TV-/TENSOR, in center field, is a new- J-' 1 comer, but he looks like a good ball player. The chances are that “Artie” Hofman. the former Cub. will play in the outfield regularly as soon as ife gets in shape. .lust at present his heart is ba<l, and Tie is afraid of over-exerting himself. Ilttsburg will come, and when they do they will come very fast, because they have a hunett of terrific hitters and plenty Kood pitchers to stop the opposing teams. It is going to be a hard Little combination to beat. Ttie Giants have also braced on the past week, and McGraw is getting back closer each day to the lineup that won him two pennants. \Ve came near losing a good Da 11 player last week when Shafer threatened to go home, but lie changed his mind. Many blamed Shafer for this, but lie is only a boy, and got the idea he was needed home by his father. He should not be censured for his ac tion.

FLYNN AND COFFEY CLASH IN NEW YORK GO FRIDAY NEW YORK, May 23.—"If James Coffey, the Dublin giant, and Jim Flynn, the Pueblo fireman, box to form, as the fistic fans would say. then the patrons of the hit. block and step-away sport may depend on an interesting ten-round bout at the Garden Athletic Club to-night. Both men are within the pale of the first class brigade of heavyweight boxers. Coffey is the climber and Flynn one of those fighters who may come back at any time, no matter how many defeats he may have expe rienced. Both are aggresive boxers, and as they are hitters the bout may termi nate suddenly and in a manner that the fans of this city enjoy—by a knockout. Both are in perfect physi cal condition for a hard battle. The winner will be matched with Gunboat Smith. Nearly everybody in Atlanta reads The Sunday American.
