DELAWARE A FAST SHIP.
Exceeds Speed Requirements in Test,
After Completing Long Cruise.

Going out to sea without repair, OF any
sort and only coaling up for twenty
four-heur trip. the day after record
breaking cruise of 1900 miles. the Della
ware exceeded the speed that she had
made on her trial trip. when brand-new
and worked out for extra money paid for
extra speed.
The Navy Department Is in receipt OF
a wireless telegram from the Delaware
reporting that at 7:3O o'clock Thursday
morning she successfully completed a
four-hour forced-draft run at an average
speed of 2l.88 knots per hour. and that
she was at that time continuing on a
twenty-hour full-power endurance run
The report states further that everything
is in excellent condition.
While this speed-2l.S So knots per hour
is subject to correction. it may be as
s,lmed that IL is approximately correct
and there is little doubt that the Della
ware has exceeded her trial speed. which
was 2l.58 notwithstanding that the pres
ent run was made without preparation
after the long South American cruise.

to believe. He takes his office serious

Of the position He knows that he is

he is leaving no stone unturned to show

placed in him.
Chase is the youngest manager IN

knows baseball thoroughly. as a good
Judge of players and human nature,
and is a strategist. And to me he looks
like born leader. His players have
all the confidence in the world in his
ability as player, and jump at the
word to fulfill his orders And he is
beloved By everyone who knows him.
A more popular player or manager
never lived.
While Chase doesn't appear to have
any chance of winning the pennant for
the local American league fans this
season, believe his prospects for
winner next season are most bright
Did Not Start as Pitcher.
Unlike most great baseball players
Chase did not get his start as pitcher
Although a left handed thrower, he
broke into the game as a third base
man, occasionally shifting to snort.
That was with a schoolboy team In
little town on the Pacific coast called
Alviso. When but II his folks moved
to Los Gados, where Chase earned the
regular berth at third base on a crack
mi-professional team that was clean
ing up consistently from all the big
clubs in California.
He thought a heap more of baseball
than he did Of his studies and one day
Informed his teacher that he was going
to handle a baseball for a living and
that he saw no use of handling histo

Star on College Team.
For two years he was the star in
fielder of the college team. and when
his folks moved to Victoria, British
Columbia, to seek their fortune, Hal
was forced to go along with them AS
soon as he arrived in tie Canadian
village, he organized team and taught
them the great national game of the
states. Chase was lorced to do the
catching for the team and did all the
ba ckstoRping without mask or pro-
tector
But after year in the CanadAan
country he longed to return to college
and finally induced his father to send
him back to Santa Clara, where he
there. Jira Morley, who is one of the
biggest baseball men on the Pacific
coast, was tipped off that Chase was
ripe for the professional leagues and
went out to the university to watch
him perform.
In a flash Morley saw that Hal had
the making of great first baseman
and signed him on the spot for his Los
Angeles club. Although Chase had
never played that position he was only
too willing to try and went out TO
make good in his new position with
plenty of confidence
The diamond in Los Angeles didn't
possess blade of grass and. when
Chase went out to practice the first
time on it,. he played nearly out in
front OF the right fielder.
Say, there young man, you are
playing first base, not in the outfield,"
yelled Morley TO him.
We'll, I am playing in the right
spot. 1 believe. replied Chase.
Yes, but If you don't get closer to
the bag every man will be truning

May Not Win Pennant For
His Team, But Displays
Rare Judgment.

New York, N. Y, Aug. 5.-Hal Chase,
the small glove. has made good as man
ager of the New York Yankees. De-
spite the fact that the Tigers and Ath-
letics appear to have the pennant race
between themselves, it is no fault of
Chase's that his team isn't right up
with the two leaders. Knockers claim
that poor management is keeping the
Yanks down, but forget 1t. A bad
break in luck plus innumerable IN
juries is the cause.
In the short time Chase has had
charge of the Yankees he has displayed
rare judgment when the team has been
in tight quarters, and he has handled
his pitchers in mastery fashion. And.
let me add right here, the poor show
ing of his hurlers has kept Chase to a
great extent from turning out a PEN
nant winner. But he has done the most
and best he could with his heaving de-
partment
When Chase succeeded George Stall
ings as manager last fall reports from
the Yankees at that time were that
the team was in more or less of a dis
ports were true There could not be
chaotic question.
When the Bottom Fell Out.
1t will be remembered that. when
Kid Elberfeld tooK up the reins of
managership Immediately after Clark
Griffith was deposed, the bottom fell
out of the whole structure and the team
went all to pieces. There was grave
danger that such would be the case last
fall when Chase was Unexpectedly put
in charge.
But Hal took hold of the situation
with firm hand and not only kept the
team intact, but held his players we'll
in hand, and not only prevented a dis
ruption, but got better playing out of
his team than before the sudden change
in leadership. And he came right back
this year and is getting out all there
is IN his talent
Chase is Still Young.
Although Chase is still young feI
