By Allen Saagree.
S T. LOUIS, May 23.- Frank Chance,
one time hoes of the Cubs, now
manager of the New York High
landers, says this Is the year an or
dinary hall dub 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 team of ordinary hitters, with or
dinary pitchers, with ordinary has*-
running and with ordinary thinking
should grab the pennant In the senior
major league organization, according
to the former Cbb boss*.
"1 novel - saw such an upset in the
dope," said Chance.
“What is the answer?" he wa*
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 baueball 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.
"Ciarke had a smarter hall club
than McGravv. He seemed to hav
better pitchers. Ho seemed to have
better balanced team. The Pirate
seemed to be the class of the leagu<
Yet look where they are.
"The Giants haven't been playing
the kind of baueball they played when
they won pennants. McGravv has n
team that should he beaten."
Hut the Phillies?" it was sug
gested.
"I don’t figure them to win. They
will go along In great shape for n
while. Suddenly some fellow will be
injured. Then another will auffer an
accident. Then another, and pretty
soon a pitcher will blow. Before you
have realized it the team will lie
down. It's the hard luck team of tb«‘
league
Think* Cubs Have Chanca.
"I believe those Phillies have scared
more people and have done less reni
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 are capable they would
win If any team in the league got
consistent pitching that was even
good, fairly good hitting and played
just ordinary baseball every day
that team would win.
"It isn't a knock on the old league.
It's Juft the peculiar condition which
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. WIS., May 23 - Matty
McCue and Abe Attell havp signed j
for a ton-round bout hero. Thr match ’
hinsroa on MoOue's winning from Pat
sy Hranniitan in Milwaukee next ‘
Monday evening The tentative date |
for the Met ’up-Attell mitt is June 3. ■
lOW YOIIK, May 23.—During the past few days the Pirates have pi a.veil much nearer
llieir natural form than heretofore this season. After being ltenten all over the <’1*01111.
\ the Pittsburg club came to New York and gave us a stiff Aiiftle when we were looking
' for something easy. They also gave the Dodgers a neat trimming.
Fans have been talking about the weak pitching of tile Pirates. The twirlers may
have lieen off before this, but they eertainly braced up against ns. Adams, Hendrix, Robin
son and Cooper all looked good in New York, nnd the rest of the club played pretty fair
ball except in a couple of games. The team seems to be getting bad catching, the steady work of Gibson behind
the tmt Isdng sadly missed. Ills absence also hurts the pitchers. He is laid up and will lie out of the game for
some time. Poor throwing and laid judgment behind the bat put the team off its balance in a couple of the con
tests against us.
rrliH Pirates
A and don’t
will be in the race,
make any mistake
a hint that. The eiub i« Just ns good
as the one which came so strong at
the finish last year, and I.predict that
once tin’s team gets going behind the
pitching it is bound to get. there will
tie very few clubs in the league which
will stop it. Personally, I am tickled
to death that Clarke’s team has made
such a late start, because 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. ami. although
it is his first season in the big league
as a regular, he looked better than
any of the several men who appeared
at that place last year. He is the
kind of a ball player that helps any
team, aggressive and "crabbing" all
the time. When lie first joined the
Pittsburg club he was known as the
freshest Imsher ever to come up from
the minors, and he still retains his
lighting spirit. He also hits the ball
hard, and is a difficult man to pitch
to. refusing to offer at bad balls.
A
SIDE from all his natural accom
plishments, Wagner has taken
a imrsonsl shine to View, 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. Past year it was "Tom" Hendrix,
nnd lK>fore that it was “Jack” Miller,
now playing first base.
Rut the real wonder of the Pirates
is Hans Wagner, who looks just the
same as he did when I broke into the
league, except that his hair Is a little
grayer, because it wasn’t gray at alt
then. He looks Just the same on 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,
nnd the chances are all in favor of
him batting over ..‘iOO once more,
which he generally does with great
consistency.
M ENKOR, in center field, is a new
comer. but he looks like a good
ball player. The chances are that
“Arrle" Hofman. the former Cub, will
play in the outfield regularly as soon
as ho gets in shape. Just ai present
his heart is bad. and lie is afraid of
over-exerting himself. Pittsburg will
come, and when they do they will
come very fast. Iteciiuse they have a
bunch of terrific hitters and plenty
good pitchers to stop the opposing
teams. It is going to la* a hard little
combination to beat.
Tlie Giants have also braced on the
past week, and McGraw is getting
back closer each day to the lineup
that won him two pennants. We
came near losing a good ball player
last week when Shafer threatened to
go home, but he changed his mind.
Many blamed Shafer for tins, hut lie
is only a boy, and got the idea lie
was needed home l>y his father. He
should not lie censured for his ac
tion.

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.
BUD ANDERSOH OFFERED
FIGHT WITH LEACH CROSS
NEW YORK, May 23.—The man-
ag;ers of the St. Nicholas Athletic
Club'have invited Bud Anderson, the
sensational lightweight boxer of Cali
fornia. who recently knocked out K.
O. Brown and o.Ie Mandot. to come
east and box Leach Cross in July.
CUBS AFTER SCHAUER.
SUPERIOR, WIC., May 23.—George
McGurn, scout for the Chicago Cubs,
after watching a Northern League
game here made an offer for Rube
Sehauer, Superior pitcher. The offer
is being considered.
FLYNN AND COFFEY CLASH
IN NEW YORK GO FRIDAY
NEW YORK, May 28.—"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 aggreslve 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.

CHARLEY EBBETS TO FILE SEWANEE AND VANDERBILT
CHARGES AGAINST KLEM | CLASH AT NASHVILLE
BROOKLYN, N. Y„ May 23.—Pres-
ldent Ebbets, of the Brooklyn club,
was so incensed over Umpire Klem’s
action in continuing the game with
Pittsburg yesterday in the heavy rain
that he announced he would file
charge? with the board of directors of
i h<’ National League.
, The min fell in torrents from the
second half of the third inning and
the field was in frightful condition.
The infielders could hardly keep their
feet going after batted balls The
pitchers could not control the wet ball
and only clever work by the pitchers
prevented wild pitches.
