NEW YORK, July 0.-An unfortunate re-
mark by Manager Frank Chance Of the
Chicago Cubs to the spectators in the %
cent seats caused a disturbance in the last

At this. Chance, on first base, turned to
the bieacherites and remarked: wouldn't
you like to have him back with your"
After more talk. while Maloney was being
retired one of the fans threw an empty
pop bottle in Chances direction.
This was followed by a volley from the
open stands back of first base Chance was
not hit by any of the missiles. but he picked
up couple of bottles and hurled them at
random back into the crowd Thereupon
the fusiilade was renewed. and several or
the fans jumped on the field and made a
rush at Chance. who had taken refuge on
the visiting teams bench
President Ebbets then called upon Capt
Maude to quell the incipient riot, and the
police were quick to act. Chance was es-
corted to the club house by a detective
Hoffman took his place at first base and
After the crowd had left the grounds
some OF the rougher element fingered
around waiting for Chance. But Ebbets
fooled them by borrowing an automobile

A small boy named Tony Conenarno COM
planned to Capt Maude that he had been
struck by one Of the bottles thrown by
Chance. and the Chicago manager may be
arrested on the boys complaint.

ing through NJ. Harjes his Paris partner,
for the purchase of two of the most an

Sarthe both among the most noteworthy
architectural monuments in France.
Monsieur Manage. liquidator for the

not sell the converts privately. the law
decreeng that the sale must be public
The sale Is set for the end of August, the
reserve price for Fontevrault being about

million francs and a series of splendid
wood carvings.
The Abbey of Solesmes belonged to the
