CHANCE OF CHICAGO
 WILL CHANCE CHINK

Chicago, March 19.-(Special.) )-Ii Manager Frank Chance has his way it ts likely that he will be the first manager of a major league club to try out a Chinese ball-player. If Mon- gollan goes South with the famous Chicago Cubs" he will certainly add xest to the training period. Chance has been investigating the ball players on the Pacific coast and in Hawaii, and in recent letter from California, he said:
 "Probably the most remarkable base ball player in Hawaii Is a Chinese boy named En Sue. who plays third base for St Louis College. one of the native teams in the principal Honolulu League. I am told that he is won- der. Several efforts were made during the past season to get En Sue to come to the United States to play with one Of the big leagues, but the negotia- tions fell through. Possibly he can be induced to join the worlds champions for a try-out. His long suit is said to be his base running. but he also can hit them pretty good.
 Baseball is growing very popular in Hawaii The small boy, be he Chinese, Japanese, Hawaiian, of the result of q mixture of several of these races, takes to baseball as naturally as does the American small boy. whose fore- bears have played the game since 1t was started"
