Oiu stone Church, in which the assem-
Oily Is holding its sessions. Loving

The women's memorial was defeat

work hard to pass the measure, but
because the more conservative were

HAL CHASE is REAL
MANAGER OF YANKEES

NEW YORK, N. Y Special
Hal Chase is the real manager of
the New York American League team.
according to Dame Rumor, and it is
SAID the success the club has so far
attained has been due far more to
the efforts of Chase than George Stall
llngs, who carries the title of man
ager.
1t is claimed that StaIlings had a
tWo-year contract with owner Far
rel, of the New York club, and that
is the reason that he was carried this
year. The contract was an ironclad
one IKE that Billy Murray had with
the Phillies. WIN
Although the only title that Chase
carries is that of captain, it is claim
eu that he selects the pitchers and
uses ms judgment as to when to use
the derrick. Chase has managerial
aspirations, it is said, and il wouId
not be at all surprising if he was the
next manager of the New York Amer
lcans. Chase is popular with every
member OF the New York team. and
would make a good man for the lob
IN case Stallings is turned loose.
harmony is the big word with the
tilgh Ianders this year, and it is be-
heVed that Chase as captain has
brought about the good feeling that
exists.

The theatrical situation in Rich

was for the open door.

Independents. while his associate. Mr..

Neal would not say as much. The
arrangement whereby the Richmond

with the trust will stand but a short

Mr.. Wells today. Sometimes we
differ, but our grievances are always

whether or not they would desert
