By John J. Evers,

Two of the greatest tactcians in the
game met in the worlds championship.
The one is Manager Frank Chance. The
other is Connie Mack, leader of the Ath-
letics. The one is a playing manager; the
other directs his play from the bench.
And this battle of brains, of judgment.
of courage and of all things that con-
tribute to the greatness of a manager is
bound to attract great deal of atten-
ton and furnish rich food for discussion
after the series has been finished. And
the battle between these two men will be
productive of arguments and will attract
greater interest because 1t will be bench
manager versus one who leads his men.
1t is but natural that 1 should favor
Chance. Just the same sentiment alone
does not sway me when l say that he will
outwit Connie Mack and that his man
agerial ability will be one Of the greatest
assets Of the Cubs.
Puts Fight in Team.
Chance is without an equal in putting
fight into a team. Here is concrete ex-
ample of his ability to fight against odds.
Incidentally it throws mighty interest
ing sidelight on DUR fight for the pennant
of 1905.
In the latter part of the season we were
playing in Philadelphia. We lost a game
which seemed to put us hopelessy out of
the race In those days we were riding to
and from the grounds in carriages. and We
were pretty thoroughly licked that even
ing.
We didn't have a thing to say, for it
seemed that our last hope had vanished
and that we could not possibly get into
the worlds series.
think it was Tinker who finally broke
the silence. We'll. cap, we are done and
We might as well celebrate our losing
tonight said he.
Chance thought a few minutes. NO,
We won't he answered. Boys, We
have been pretty good winners. Now
let's show the people that we can be
good losers. Let's show them that we
never give up: that we are never beaten.
Let's show them we play as hard when
We lose as when We win, and that we
fight for the pure love of fighting,
whether 1t means victory or defeat"
Well, sir. you can't imagine how that
cheered US. We did fight and the base
ball world knows that we Won
Chances ability as fighter is not his
only asset, for he mixes shrewdness with
his fighting.
And to my mind he never gave bet
ter illustration of his shrewdness than he
did on that memorable afternoon that we
met the Giants in that single game which
determined whether the Cubs or the
New Workers were the pennant wizners
of the National League.

the game which brought about the Merkle
incident, decided the championship When
1t came our time to go on the field for bat
ting practice we had no idea that a scheme
had been framed up to beat us. The league
rules gave US the right to bat for twenty
minutes. We had been up there but six
when McGraw came up with bat and ball.
We were told that we had been given all
the time that was ours and would have to
quit. Well, we were careful to find out
just how long we had been batting, and
Manager Chance then went up to protest.
Joe McGinnity, the old pitcher. showed
him from the plate and struck him on the
chest with a bat. The first impulse of
himself. and, looking the old pitcher
squarely in the eye. he told him that he
would smash his nose the first time they
met outside of a ball park

talked it over. Chance guessed the scheme

had Chance fought him, policeman
would have been called and both men
would have been escorted from the field
The Giants would have lost a man they
mad no intention of losing, while the Cubs
would have lost their manager as well as
their hrst basepan, and the team would
nave been demoralized
Always Busy Scheming.
Our chances of winning that game and
the pennant would have been lessened.
But chance restrained himself, played a
desperate game and won. That incident
gave me better insight into his real
character than anything that I had ever
witnessed before
NOW something about the differences
between the two managers

we VIII say. for instance, that a

that moment he has two things to do.

In addition to this he must also watch
