pumping system is contained in a brick
building on the esat bank of the Har-
Dor canal The pumps are of the Nord-

CHANCE WILL STICK
Cubs Leader Will Come
Back to Be the
Manager.

Frank L Chance will be back for the
opening gun next spring. and those ter
rifed fans on the west side who dreaded
he would not lead the world heaters
again may rest assured that the Cubs
will start the season with the old I'M
beatable combination sans only Johnny
Evers. And Evers viii be ready to play
by the middle of June.
Jack Mccarthy, former outfielder of
the Cubs, heard the O. C. D. signal of
the Chicago fans and to him must be
credited the glory of the reconciliation
between Chance and President Murphy.
The wireless signal of distress was an
swered by Jack, and he came to the
rescue as intermediary, saving the fol-
lowers of the Cubs from despair, and
giving them hope for fourth straight
National league pennant.
In an interview given out at Los
Angelts yesterday Chance made 1t clear
that whatever differences he had with
President Murphy of the Cubs had been
settled and that he would be back for
sure.
President Murphy last night stated
that there had been no reconciliation"
between hin anu Oi4dlSS, ptCduoC lHC1 Z
had been no need for one. According to
Murphy, Chance never said he would
not return.
"knew He'd Come Backs-Murphy.
The stories that Chance did not in
tend to come back were never believed
by me- said President Murphy. Il
knew that Husk was the kind of a
man to live up to his contract, and last
summer, several weeks before the sea-
son closed, he signed to act four years
more as manager Of the Cubs.
There has been no enmity bttween
Chance and me- We had differences.
as any people in our relative positions
mi ght have, but they were not the sort
that would require the services of an
intermediary to patch up. 1 have al
ways had great respect for Chance and
believed all along he would come
back"
1t is believed, however. that Jack
Mccarthy, now manager of the Spring
field Three-I league champions. who
| is a close friend of both the west side
magnate and the Cub manager, used his
influence to bring them together. Jack
| has been visitor at Cub headquarters
several times during the winter and
has been in communication with Chance
right along, letter he received from
Chance showing. it IS asserted, that the
Cub leader did not intend to give up
the game.

JEFF IS NOW
TALKING FIGHT
Now Eager to Meet Jack
Johnson, According to
His Press Agent.
The MONEY IS A TEMPTATION
Big Purses Offered for Bout Begins
to Look Good to the For
mer Champ"
The MONEY IS A TEMPTATION

San Francisco. Jan. 26.-Jim Jeffries
will fight Jack johnson at the end OF
his theatrical tour of the country un-
less the big fellow changes his mind
which is not probable. Ralph Pincus
the manager of his theatrical interests
is responsible for the statement
"Jeffries has told me he would take
on Johnson If he could get into condi-
ton" said Pincus today He has said
this trip will put him into condition il
anything will, and he thinks, like ev-
erybody elst, that he is getting better
every day. Next week he will get
down to real hard work. Every week
he will increase his work until he be-
comes hardened. He has told me of his
intentions often and each time he is
more eager to get back. I am certain
that hen this theatrical engagement is
ended Jeffries will climb back into the
ring and wind up his public career by
whipping Johnson"
If JEFF has made up his mind to
come back there is little chance of his
changing plans. He is as stubborn as
a mule and those who knew hin
thought his retirement would be for
ever But now that he has begun to
talk of getting back. he will be just as
stubbornly inclined the other way.
Jeffries has no great su moi money
saved. In fact, it is said he has little
more than when he went into the ring
for the first time. He has been talk
ing over prospects of the big house tht
Jeffries- Johnson match would draw, ant
money looks better to him every day
Besides. he is angered at the negro
holding the title, and he is just as Ger
tain he can whip Johnson now as h,
was when he offered to fight him in
cellar here.
