| those who knew Lange, the famous out
fielder of the Chicago team. who played
with Seattle in the Northwest league:

the star of the Chicago ball club. will
make his exit from the game today.
LANCE will retire after one of the most
brilliant years of his career. for. during
the season. and in spite Of his injuries
and sickness. LANCE has played steady
and at times brilliant ball He retires
from baseball to take a situation in big
real estate and insurance firm In San
Francisco. accepting a partnership with
his future father-in-law who-is-to-be. for
I.ange will marry next spring. His
fiancee Is Miss Grace Geiselman. Of San
Francisco. She is now in Europe.
'Lange has been the most popular man
who ever wore Il Chicago uniform, and
his retirement is widely regretted. His
friends hoped he would return next sea-
son to play with Arson in case Arson
