CHANCE MAY
LEAVE CHAMPS
Manager of Cubs Has Spat
With Murphy and Reds
May Get Him.

| Frank l. Chance may never again be
seen in action as manager of the
worlds champion Cubs. Chance left
for California for the winter last night
/ but before going he said unless GER
| tain changes were made he would
never again act as manager of the
Cubs while Charles w. Murphy was
their president Husk appeared de-
termined in his stand and it is likely
more serious developments may fol-
low. Chance and Murphy have quar-
relied over the handling of the club, and
the manager says he wants no more
to do with Murphy.
President Murphy is i'll at his home
in Oak Park and his physician refused
to allow him to be interviewed yester-
day. Perhaps the attitude of Chance
is the cause of his illness. The Cub
fans may have to wait several days
before Murphy makes a statement con-
cerning the difficulties.
Chance Determined in stand
Under present conditions l feel it
will be next to impossible for me to
continue as manager of the Cubs un-
der the direction of President Charles
w. Murphy said Chance Husk is
known among his players as one who
will make hard fight on any stand
he takes and his declaration that he
does not care to continue as manager
of the Cubs is not the joke that it
might seem.
!. 1t was rumored yesterday in base
ball circles the break between Presi-
dent Murphy and Manager Chance
might result in trade with Cincin-
natl, whereby Husk would go to the
Reds in exchange for Hans Labart
t Hobby Hoblitzell, and a good sized
t bag of money. The owners of the
: Cincinnati club have been on the look
out for high class manager for some
time. At first they tried to make q
dicker for Johnny King of the Cubs
but apparently this effort has failed.
Reds Eager to Get Manager.
! Should the trouble between Murphy
. and Chance come to q head, 1t is
t cinch the Reds would jump at
! chance to get man like the Cub chic
. to lead their club in another effort tc
I land the bunting in Pulliam's circuit
= AS for Garry Hermann, the shoe woult
q fit very nicely, and no doubt the Gin
|, Icinnati politician would ship a barre
t of gold to Chicago to close the deal
:, But the Chicago fans would not be a
n well pleased.
Frank Chance is everything to tn
Cubs his title of Big Bear implies. H
is popular manager. He has led tn
; team to three straight victories in tn
' National league, and has landed tw
world titles in as many years. He ha
. built up a great baseball machine, an
. ths Chicago fans look upon him a
{ the big mogul of the great America
pastime it is staged by the Ma
Il tional league.

SECOND GAME
Fails to Meet the South Chi
cago Squad Last
Sunday.

The football game between the Gary
team and South Chicago which was
to have been playe din Gary and was
later changed to South Chicago, was
not played owing to the fact that the
Gary team did not show up. This is
the second time that the locals have
made a date and have failed to keep it,
and if they keep this up they will soon
have very unsavory reputation in the
vicinity. Although they have been
practicing fairly well during the week
when it came to getting the men to-
gether to go to South Chicago they
could not locate all of the men. Man
agere Savage of the Gary team has
resigned owing to the action of the
men who have failed to play the games
that have been scheduled.

BRITT DEFEATS JOHNNY
But the British Booed Britt
and He Boiled AS a
Result.

London, Nov 3.-Jimmy Britt, the
California fighter, defeated Johnny
Summers of England at the end of the
tenth round last night at Wonderland.
The conditions of the fight called for
ten rounds at 1873 pounds. The men
weighed in at 3 o'clock in the after
noon.
Summers had the better of the first
two rounds and Britt. seeming to
realize his disadvantage, put more
energy into his work and shaped up
much better in the succeeding rounds.
The Englishman showed great clev-
erness, and the sixth, seventh, and
Eighth rounds looked to be a winner.
Britt came back, however, and fought
his man to the ropes, having a con-
siderable advantage in the ninth and
tenth rounds
The American was declared the win
ner on points, although a considerable
section of the spectators who filled the
big hall questioned the referees de-
cision.
For several minutes there was every
indication of a riot, and it was with
the utmost difficulty that quiet was re-
stored. Britt and he referee were
! loudly hooted as they left the hall.
Much dissatisfaction is expressed in
the newspapers and in circles where
the fight is discussed at the referee
having pronounced Jimmy Britt the
victor over Johnny Summers in las1
nights bout, but. according to Sport
ing Life, although it was a splendid
exhibition on both sides and Summer:
showed remarkable speed and clever
ness at long range fighting, the refere'
gave Britt credit for an immens'
amount of infghting, the value o
which the referee was in far bette
position to judge than majority o
the spectators.

What Country pwellers Need.

A third of our population is urban;
the rest is more or less rural. What
the country dwellers need to make
them happy are religion, education
and material prosperity. The farms
cannot employ as many laborers per
acre as they did before the coming OF
agricultural machinery. Therefore
they must either raise fewer children
or export some of their population to
the cities.-Harper's Weekly.

Granted Private Pension.

Alden Keyes of Vernon, veteran of
the Civil War, having served IN Mich
igan Fighting Fifth, has been allowed a
private pension of $50 per month.
A few weeks ago his condition was
called to the attention of Congressman
Joseph w. Fordney who after investi-
cation, found that he was entitled to the
benefit of a private bill and Immediately
set to work and in very short time
succeeded in having it passed and only
awaits the signature of President Roose-
velt.
This adds another obligation of the
old veterans and patriotic citizens to
Joseph w. Fordney for successful work
in behalf of our worthy veterans none
of whom were more worthy than Henry
Alden Keyes of Vernon, who with his
family and acquaintancesa are very CRATE
full to Mr.. Fordney for his prompt and
successful efforts.-Corunna Journal.
The Journal modestly refrains from
saying the condition and need Of Mr..
Keyes was called to the attention of
Cong Fordney by an item which
appeared in that paper. Mr.. Keyes is a
great sufferer from heart trouble.
