THE BUTTERS-IN

LOS ANGELES, December 24-Frapk
l.. Chance. captain Of the Chicago Cubs
ball team. gave out an interview here
recently regarding the reports that he
will not manage the Chicago team the
coming season According to Chance
statement this difficulty is not due to
money matters or to any interference
with Chances authority in the past. He
said:
Il have signed contract to play with
Chicago for three or four years and if
don't go there l cannot play any place.
There is little difference between Presi-
dent Murphy and myself on the money
question, but that is not serious and !

AuToCRAT OF PARIS FLAT.
What the Concierge Does-Good ane
Bad Tenants.

From the London Mail.
The concierge is considered to be Inc
bane of the Partisan fiat dweller's exist
ence His functions are supposed to be
the following:
The first and most important is to col
lect the rent on quarter day; after that he
must see that the tenants do not surrep-
titiously remove. The latter precaution
seems to be somewhat unnecessary, as
rents in Paris are always paid in adj
vance.
He should also bring up your letters at
least twice day, but as the concierge is
generally a stout, midd!e-aged woman
who has a decided objection to climbing
stairs the latter regulation remains some
what of a dead letter.
In Paris the front door Of most houses
is generally closed at 10 o'clock: after
that time admittance can ony be obtained
to open the door, and she does this. as
soon as she is awake. by pulling a rope
which hangs by her bedside.
If she is a sound sleeper and you are
accustomed to come home late at night.
the best thing to do is to look for another
fiat. as the concierge will put you down
as a bad tenant" and make things as
unpleasant for you as possible
If you never stop out late at night. re-
ceive very few friends and fee her heavily
at Christmas the concierge will consider
you as a good tenant" until you give
notice to leave. when her interest in you
suddenly vanishes.
AS there is nothing more to be expected
from yous and the incoming tenant is
obliged to give substantial tip called a
'denier Dieu,' she is anxious to speed
the parting guest as much as possible
The concierge does sometimes make a
final effort to extract something more
from you by attempting to make you pay
fra knocked
walls of your fiat. but this has been de-
cided to be illegal and may be safely re-
sisted.
But the Partisan concierge is really I'M
popular because she represents land
lord.

the game and yet found that one scaiper
had 900 tickets to dispose of at s--y-high
prices are sick and tired of the attempts
made to hush the matter up. G. Webb
Murphy is the scapegoat of the fans here
and 1t is not at all improbable that he will
have to come to some terms with the
base ball fans before they. will support
his team again.
Throughout the storm Charlie Comiskey
of the White Sox is grinning. Clubs are
being formed everywhere in the Windy
city to swing their support to the local
American League team. The White Sox
nave always been great favorites here
and Comiskey's well known sportsma Mike
qualities are a great factor in their popu-
larity. Now that Murphy is embroiled in
this ticket scandal the Cubs are likely
to play to empty benches next year un-
less suitable explanation is made re-
garding those tickets for the world S
series.
The fans want a report ripping some
one up the back for the mishandling of
the ticket sale and will not remain quiet
under the weak statements made by
Presidents Hermann and Murphy

BoSSY'S teeth TO Be BRUSHED
AT SAME TIME SHE TAKES HER
MORNING BATH.
That Is the idea of DR.. Tanner,
Twice Forty-Days Faster, Who
Urges City Ordinance.

LOS ANGELES. December 24.-Here-
after all bossy cows whose milk is used
by struggling infants hereabout are to
have their teeth brushed when they take
their morning bath.
That is. they are If d suggestion by
DR.. II. s. Tanner is favorably acted upon
by the Long Beach city council.
DIR. Tanner. who twice tasted forty

evil germs which pass into the milk and
thence into the babies where they cut
up all kinds of capers. He, therefore,
suggests that the teeth be brushed, pref
erably before bossy has had her break
fast.
Once the bovine molars and incisors
have been well scrubbed with stiff bris-
ties the doctor believes that those who
partake of the debacillized milk will live
to ripe old age.

NEW YORK, December 24.-Although
they were beaten in the final round by
the score of 2ia to IL, Princeton's chess
players carried off the honors of the sew
entcenth annual tournament with Column

progress at the rooms Of the West Side

three days, thereby winning their first
championship.
Harvard made gallant effort to head
off the victorious career OF the Tigers.
but the latter. thanks to lead of two
points established as a result of defeating
Columbia and Yale on Monday and Tues
day, managed to hold their rivals at bay,
and when the deciding game between Fer
ger and Byerly was adjudicated at 8
o'clock a total of ~ games had been at

Harvard.
The Crimson players. though yielding
the victory to the men of Old Nassau,
had the satisfaction of lowering the new
champions cOlors. Columbia defeated
Yale by 21a to ~. and the Blue and
White finished third. one point below Har-
ward. The same difference existed be-
SO that the tournament will go on record

won his game at the top board and shared
with w w. Parshley of Harvard the dis

whereas Stephens had the strongest play

against. The other three members of the

The sixteen players were the guests OF
Edward A. Caswell, Yale &c. originator

at the Yale Club yesterday morning. when
the following were elected members or

ate cup. which Columbia had Won the last
two years, the Princeton players each re-
ceived the usual silver medals provided
by the alumni
The game between Ferger of Princeton
and Byerly of Harvard lasted we'll into
the evening session. and finally was given
over to the referees for adjudication. On
this game depended the outcome of the
tournament, as a win for Byerly would
have permitted Harvard to tie Princeton
in the score, thereby necessitating play
off. Byerly had bishop against his op-
ponent's knight, the outcome of a French
defense adopted by Ferger. and pawns in
equal number remained on the board The
officials decided the position a draw. and
anxiety for the outcome was at an end.
This game lasted forty-flve moves.
