A ccording to reports from
Chicago, Hal Chase, first base
man of the White Sox, is up to
his old tricks. The Chicago baseball
chroniclers insist that there Is a
clique in the team, and that Chase
has joined hands with Captain Harry
Lord in u plot to oust Manager Calla
han.
Chase has been scored recently for
poor playing, and in a public inter
view Owner Comiskey is quoted as
.saving that he did not sanction the
('base deal. Comiskey also expresses
the opinion that Zeider even up for
Chase would have been a much bet
ter deal for the Sox.
Chase and Lord have been close
friends for several years. When
Chase was manager of the New Yorks
he urged a deal by which Lord would
become a member of the Yankees.
Lust winter, after Chance had been
signed, Chase again tried to induce
the New York club to purchase Lord’s
release from the White Sox. In re
turn for this kindness, Lord urged
Callahan to let Zeider or Horton go
for ('base It is said that as soon
as Chase joined the White Sox he
and Lord doubled up.

to defeat any team in the country,
according to the opinion of Artie
Iiofman. now of the Volunteers.
“The old Cubs were the best that
ever were brought together.” Circus
Solly declared recently, “and they are
not too far gone to put up a creditable
showing now*, although Charley Mur
phy has fired about all of them out
of Chicago. With Chance, Evers. Tin
ker and Zimmerman in the infield;
Sheokard, Schulte and myself in the
outfield; Kling or Archer behind the
bat, and Overall. Reulbach and Brown
doing the pitching. I believe we could
beat the best in the business. Stetn-
feldt is not able to play, or 1 would
have suggested him for third, as he
was one of the most brilliant third
Hackers 1 have ever seen when we
were winning pennants.
“The fact that Murphy has seen
fit to get rid of nearly all of the men
who played under Chance is no rea
son that thev are through as ball
players. Miller Brown has licked the
Cubs nearly every time he’s pitched
against them this year. Sheokard is
still one of the best outfielders in
the business. Tinker and Evers are
in their prime Schulte has resumed
that home-run habit that made him
famous, and both Kling and Archer
are catching brilliantly. Some peo
ple think I'm all in.' but I'm not one
of that number Of course I’m no

I unprejudiced observer could have ex-
1 pected, says J. Ed Grille, in The
Washington Star. And it looks very
; much now as if the Peerless Leader

! at least one team finish lower than
, his.
1 What is more, Chance is proceeding
in a way which promises New York 1
1 better American League team within
j a year or two than it has had '.n
1 some years. Chance is surrounding
himself with some promising mate
rial. He is gradually ridding hlmseif
of the dead timber which was willel
to him with the job, and he seems to
! have made a good start to build up a

But too much must not he expected
at once. It takes time to weld to
gether a winning combination. If
Chance is fortunate in getting good
1 material, he ivl ’ once more prove his

well for the owners of the team that
thev are willing to spend good money
in an effort to get desirable ball play
ers. Of course, all of them won t
j make good, but even the addition of a
] good player or two is sure to make a
big difference in the strength of the

Expansion of New
League Would Cost
At Least $5,000,000
DETROIT, MICH., Aug. 24.—The
report that the Federal League would
expand for 1914 and take in several
Eastern cities has opened talk from
the major league managers.
“In order to establish a circuit that
can live, the Federal League pro
moter? must have at least $5,000,000,”
declares Hugh Jennings, of the De
troit Tigers.
“There is no demand for this or
ganization. for the baseball public is
plentifully supplied with amusement
by the two major leagues. The costL*
stadiums in the various cities afford
such accommodations that the public
will not patronize cheaper plants*.
“The player? under contract to the
National and American Leagues are
receiving big salaries. In order to
entice some of them to jump, the
Federal League would be comoelled
to put up increased salaries in cold
cash and guarantee pay for more than
one or two years.
“The Federal League this year is
run on a cheap basis. The best
players receive $200 a month. That
i? why the outlaw promoter? haven’t
been driven to the wall.
“When the American League broke
into organized baseball conditions
were much different than now. The
National League had abandoned, sev
eral good cities and the club owners
had become unpopular with the pub
lic and the players.
“There was room ror a second
major league circuit, and Ban John
son Look advantage of it Johnson
and backers had real money, and
the rest was easy.”

ST LOUIS, MO.. Aug. 24. Basing
his prediction on the assumption that
the Giants and Athletics will be the
contenders. Frank Chancre forecasts a
remarkable struggle for world's
championship honors this autumn.
“The leaders of the two leagues ap
pear to he evenly matched.” said
Chance, in discussing thb teams, “and

N EW YORK. Aug. 24.—During
the recent series of games the
Yankees played against their
Western rivals at the Polo Grounds,
I noticed that it was the invariable
custom of the Yankees in particular,
and also with some of the Western
teams, for the man at bat, whether
the runner on first got a good lead or
not. to foul off the ball even if he
had to throw his hat at th e horse-
hide.
Giants Use Other Tactics.
Sweeney never once that I can re
member failed to foul the ball or to
try to do so, whenever a runner, no
matter who it was. dashed off on a
pilfer occasion.
The system seemed to be so gener
ally prevalent among American
League teams that I begun to think
that it was an established rule by all
the club managers.
With the Giants, Manager McGraw
follows an exactly opposite plan, and
as a result the National League
champions have in nearly every year
McGraw has had them in charge l*d
all their rivals in team base running.
It is possible that Manager Chance,
knowing that he has not a fast lot
of players, has ordered his patters to
save his base runners at every oppor
tunity, but at that the plan looks very
cheesy, and surely tends to eliminate
more or less one of the prettiest points
of baseball. It looks ridiculous to see
a.good base runner after getting a big
lead to have his good judgment and
commendable ambition squashed by
