Where the two negroes will rsht is

be glad 10 meet Sam at any club. either

Johnson climbed into the ring first
amid the yells OF the fans Iangford sc-

ny WILLIAM PEET.

Since the Nationals left home on their
final taunt around the circuit they have
played nine games. lost eight and tied
one, The tie game does not count. as il
was played over yesterday and ended in
Detroit's favor.
The question now arises as TO whether
or not the Nationals were playing above
their speed during their last stay at
home, and it would seem as If this was
true.
Luck unquestionably favored the locals
IN many victories this season. Time and
again Washington would be outbatted
and outfelded and yet grab the winner S
end OF a close score,
The other two Western trips never
started out as disastrous as this present,
and unless McAleer's men take a big
brace they viii be forced out Of sixth
place by the Chicago White Sox.
Doc Meyers stock took a big boost yes
terday when he held the Tigers down TO
three hits. His own wildness virtually
lost the game, but he has evidently shown
something. for no twirler can go up
against Jennings tribe and allow such a
small number OF hits unless, TO speak IN
the parlanee Of the players. he has some
thing on the ball"
Mover is worth looking over again be-
fore the season closes.
Dispatches from Detroit state that First
Baseman SOmerlot is wonder on
handling ow-thrown balls. II this is true,
he has a whole lot on Bob Ungaub right
now, as Sir Robert never could handle a

CHASE MUST QUIT,
SAYS STALLINGS
Yankees Manager to Resign
Unless This Is Done.

Chicago Sept. 20--Manager George
stallings. OF the New York Highlanders,
Will leave tomorrow morning FOR New
York 10 issue an ultimatum to Owner
Frank Farrell Of the club. Stallings will
demand that Hal Chase be released from
the team, and will resign as manager
unless this move is made.
The New York managers decision is
the result Of a feud between him and
the star first baseman that has been on
since midseason. 1t is said that Chase
acting with the idea that he would sue
coed Stallings next season, has been lay
ing down and not giving the team his
best efforts. This is Stallings' idea OF it,
Chase denies that he knows anything
about Mr.. Farrelrs plans. and also denie.
that he has not played the best ball OF
which he was capable.
When the Highlander were in Detroit
on their second trip west Chase left them
and went home. pleading illness Some of
his team mates and New York baseball
writer's allege that he played with Andy
Coakley's semi-pro team under an as
sumed name, When he rejoined the club
the battle between him and Stallings
grew warmer. Most Of the players stuck
10 their manager and Chase became I'M
popular with his team mates.
Stallings will give his testimony be-
fore the owner OF the club and. unless
he changes his mind, will resign i'm
mediately unless Hal is fred. This prob
lem may prove a hard one for MI Far
rell to solve. as Chase is considered at
least as good as any first baseman in
the big leagues. and Is a great drawing
card. Men in touch with the team say
that he has been selected 10 manage the
Highlanders next season, so Stallings
visit with his boss may result in Chase
being appointed al once
