EVERS IS TO
STAY WITH CUBS

Chicago, Nov. None of that man
agerial joy for Johnny Evers. Like
wise, nix on the report that cub fans
will lose the Trojan when the decks
are cleared in 1911. All sorts and
kinds of stories have been going the
rounds of late regarding Johns plans
for the future, but the truth came out
yesterday during star chamber ses-
sion between Manager Chance and his
little star.
Sticking to a promise given two
years ago, the P. L. went to Evers
intending to grant the latter his re-
lease in order that John might
blossom out in the role of a manager,
providing he contemplated such a
move. When Evers signed a contract
to play with the west siders during
1909 and 1910 Chance promised to re-
lease the Trojan at the end of this
season If he wanted to abandon the
playing end of the game.
Prior to his departure last night
for winter quarters at Glendora, Cal,
Chance approached Evers, offering to
make good on his agreement.
Chance Pat on Promise.
''Pm here to fulfill my part of the
contract, JOHN said the big bear,
speaking behind bolted doors in the
green room of Johnny's cobbling es-
tablishment on Monroe street Re
member the promise made when you
signed up two years ago?"
Yves, / haven't forgotten that con-
tract" replied the Trojan, neither
have / forgotten my teammates and
my friends here in Chicago. I'm 60
ing to destroy the papers. My play
ing days are far from ended and so
long as can hold up my end of the
game I'll continue to play. How
about another year with the cubs +?
At this time, however, / Don't care to
sign for any period longer than a
year."
This latter part of the confab is still
pending. But John is coming back
and expects to be one of the first mem
bers of the club to reach West Baden
rext spring. He has been mentioned
on several occasions as a likely man
ager for different major and minor
league clubs, but these deals are now
shattered.
Chance was smiles all over as he
hoped aboard a Santa Fe train in
company with Mrs. Chance last night.

Evers will be there; so will Tinker

will be no brain racking problem, ac-
cording to Chance.
