CHANCE TELLS
OF Ills CAREER
Leader of Cubs Advises All
Players to be on the
Square

Frank Chance, peerless leader Of the
peerless baseball team, has three rules
of common sense that have a lot to do
with the success of his ball playing
career. Chance, when asked the secret
Of success, mentions these three rules;
No. BE on the square.
No. 2-Do everything above board.
No. 3-Remember nothing off the ball
field that occurs on it.
The last rule is an important one,
for any player that lives up to It can
do away with petty troubles When
a mans on the field" Chance declares
'he says things he doesn't mean. il
one of the fellows makes a bad play,
ri call him, and call him hard. may
even call him names. The chances are
I will. But what I say must not be re-
membered after the game is over.
There is nothing personal in what
say on the field"
Chance Joined the Chicago club IN
the spring Of 1898. He came upon the
recommendation Of that other great

Be Seen With Them
Again Next Year

PHILADELPHIA Oct. 2s-As usual at
this time of year. after the close Of the
regular playing season and just prior 10
the big league meets rumors Of all kinds
are in order.
The other day the papers printed a
story concerning what the Philles were
soing to do this winter. showing mel
dentaliy that kitty" Bransheld was 60
ing to get married.
Immediately from somewhere came the
rumor that Bransheld was promised he
managerial end of a club of his own and
that he would not be with the home club
next year and moreover that the Phnliss
would have 70 get new first sacker. All
this must have been smoked out from tie
forest fires. which have recently been
blamed for almost everything. There is
nothing at all in the rumor KITTY
Bransheld will play hrstbase again next
season and. moreover. will play that po-
sition for the Phillies
1, may even be said that Bransheld has
as good as signed his contract for mkt
year
still another rumor that has been nailed
is that which had kid" Gleason as man
aser Of the Des Moines. Ia, team.
President Shettsline and Manager Mur-
ray Of the Phillies. both denied the re-
ports while kid" Gleason said tha.
Philadelphia was good enough FOR him.

Replying directly to your question
al to my attitude toward . practic-

say that favor an act OF that nature,
patterned after the best of those
laws that are now In use, probably
the Wisconsin law. with such modifi-
cations - use has suggested.
am also In favor Of pure Aus
tralian ballot law. and will use every
endeavor for that, too.
The election abuses heretofore
seen In Colorado. and the resulting
corruption attending q struggle for
the United States senatorship, are q
powerful argument for these re-
forms. and II chosen to the legisla-
ture, I will do my utmost to correct
these evils. concerning which there
should. be but one opinion.

After the Work Of the Day, Picnic At
City Hall.
President I. Rothschild and Vice
President J. NJ. B. Petrikin. of the
Civic Improvement association of
Greeley, have hit upon = great
scheme for cleaning up the city. that.
II carried out. will be wonderfully ef-
fective. besides furnishing sort of
general holiday and good time for
all the people of Greeley.
Monday, October IL. 10 Columbus
Day, and the idea is to declare this
a general cleanup day. In which cv-
cry resident of Greeley shall 60 after
his premises with rake, hoe. scrub
bling brush and whatever he may
need to thoroughly polish up his
place. It will be a day Of burning
leaves, OF painting and decorating,
q day OF general cleanup.
The plan is to dismiss school an
hour early and let the school children
take their athletic exercises In help
ing to make the city clean. At a GER
tain time all work may cease. and
everybody come to the city hall,
where a sort of picnic will be held,
with coffee and eatables.
The scheme is a peach. and
should have the hearty cooperation
Of every Greeley citizen.

PRIMARY ELECTION LAW no he
DISCUSSED IN OPERA HOUSE.
i. N. STEVENS TO SPEAK
Mrs. Sarah Platte Decker and Miss
Ellis Meredith Will Also Give
Short Talks. Meeting In
dependent of Party
Politics,

You will be enabled to hear cam
paign speakers, democratic and re-
publican, any evening from now un-
til election. but you may have only
one opportunity of hearing the COM
pulsory primary election law dis
cussed independent Of politics. That
opportunity you will have tomorrow
(Thursday) evening at the Greeley
opera house, when I. N. Stevens.
Mrs. Sarah Platte Decker and Miss
Ellis Meredith come here for that
purpose.
You should not neglect this
chance. The primary election Law
comes the nearest to giving back to
the people the right they have prac-
tically lost, of saying who shall be
their servants in public office.
Many of the most earnest people
in the state of Colorado are working
for such law, and among them ID
l. N. Stevens. one of the ablest and
most conscientious public men Colo
RADIO has today. His talk 10 abso-
lutely non-partisan, and therefore
should appeal to democrats and re-
publicans alike. Mr.. Stevens is him
self leading republican. but in this
case he sets the state above his party
and is devoting his best energies to-
ward taking Colorado out of cor
poration control.
Mr.. Stevens is a deep student, m
able lawyer, a newspaper man and
man Of AFFAIRS. Anybody who hal
read the Pueblo Chieftain the past
three or four years. since this hai
been edited by Mr.. Stevens. will re
membr that It 10 absolutely thu
cleanest and most honest Of any o
the big papers of the state. absolute
ly Independent of any gang or clique
Of politicians. He is just the kind o
a man one would expect to and lead
ing In a movement for the good o
the state.
The opera house should be packed
Thursday evening>to hear this ques
tion discussed.
The law that the primary Elec
tion Law League" of Colorado /:
working for is modelled closely after
the Wisconsin law. put through b,
Senator LaFollette. and that ha.
given so much satisfaction in tha,
state.
