McGRAW AND HARRY LORD
ARDENT ADMIRERS OF CHASE
Giant Leader Declares Yankee Boss Will
Make Good-Lord Doesn't Doubt
Managerial Skill Of Peerless
First Baseman.

NEW YORK. April 1O.-Followers of
the American League team in New York
are wondering just now whether Hal
Chase. premier first baseman, will make
good in the managerial ranks next sea-
son.
There is one person in the metropolis
at least in whose mind there is no doubt
but that the Hilltop leader will deliver
the goods in every particular. That per-
son is no less an authority than John
McGraw himself.
One evening last week the popular man
ager Of the National League crew and
several diamond celebrities, including
Jimmy Blair. were tickling the worries
at Mugsy's billiard parlors, and between
innings there was some base ball talk.
The general result was the placing OF
the stamp Of approval on Hal Chase as
manager and player.
Johnny said he did not think that
Chase's playing would be hampered
by his attention to managerial duties.
Chase Wonderful Player.
81 see no reason why Chase should not
make good as a manager and still be
great player" said McGraw. Amy one

ball field will make good as leader.

MONROE, La, April 10.-Joe Sugden'
Tiger coach, umpired an exhlbltloh
game here the other day. 1t was the
first one in which Joe officiated since
1894. and at that time Joe swore that
he wouldn't do it again.
Joe was with Pittsburg at the tlme'
and they were playing in Cincinnati.
Timothy Hurst had been assigned TO
the arbiter job. but Timothy oio not
show I'D, SO Cincinnati and Pittsburg
decided to choose man from each
team and let them officiate. BUCK
Ewing was then managing Cincinnati
and Buck picked Sugden. Pittsourg
decided that Frank Dwyer should be
the man The first game went along
nicely, Cincinnati winning, and no one
kicking on Sugden's part of the omciat-
ing.
Hurst did not arrive next day ana
the same players were selected 10 OF
Pirsburg a run to the good. Cincin-
natl was at bat. Taylor reached hrst
and was leading far off. The hit and
run had been signaled for. Pittsburgs
pitcher changed signals, told the
catcher that he would pitch out and
change. The ball was pitched out
and a quick throw retired Taylor. 1t
was a close play at that, and Cfncin-
natl roared. They made Decline for
Sugden. He talked back to them and
left the field under a million threats,
vowing never to umpire again.
"Tim" Hurls Glass.
The next day Hurst came. Tim
othy didn't stay long. however. Some
one hurled beer glasses at him, and
Tim grabbed a glass and hurled it in the
bleachers, cutting one man badly. A
field.
After Hurst was paraded to the lock-
up, Ewing stepped to the home plate
and bawled out:
us Mr. hickman in the audience? 2"
Mr.. hickman was, and Mr.. hickman
umpired. 1t was a clear day in July.
The sun was shining and the end Of
the eighth found the score tied. In the
first half of the ninth Pittsburg made
five runs. AS the half ended Mr.. Bick-
man stepped to the home plate and
yelled:
Game called on account of dark
ness"
And the sun was still shining.
Tom Lynch Bluffed.
Old Patsy Tebeau and his crowd of
''rough-necks" In Cleveland had them all
beaten at browbeating the umpires. Tom
Lynch could not be bluffed. according to
popular opinion, but one day when Patsy
walked over to Mr.. Lynch and said,
Grab your tools and rum" Mr.. Lynch
walked OF the field and resigned.
Tebeau had his brother, big Ed Nc
Kean, Cupid" Childs. Jimmy McAleer.
Burkett, O'Connor and a few others who
liked to rough it with the best of them.
Patsy was probably the gamest player
of all time.
The first job of that Cleveland outfit.
was to get to the umpire, bulldoze him
and draw the long end of the decisions.
Whenever the umpire failed to do his
duty in favor of Cleveland, Tebeau got

CHESS tournament.
To Be Held in St. Petersburg for
Capablanca.

NEW YORK, April 10.-As in the case
Of the Hastings revival of 1905, st.
Petersburg has awakened to a realiza-
ton of the full import OF the great
victory achieved by Jose r. Capa-
blanca, the Cuban chess champion. in
the recently concluded international
masters tournament at San Sebastian.
When Pillsbury startled the chess
world by winning the great English
congress, at Hastings, sixteen years
ago, he was invited. along with DR..
Lasker, William Steinitz and NJ. i.
Tschigorin, to take part in four-cor-
nered tournament in the Russian cap
ital, and this was duly arranged and
contested. the victor being DR.. Lasker.
1t is now planned by the st. Petersburg
Chess Club to hold a similar tourna-
ment to give an opportunity to Capa-
blanca to test his skill against three
of the acknowledged greatest masters
Of the day.

Duffy Develops His Youngsters.
Lange, Baker and Olmstead will I'M
doubleday cut much ice in the showing
OF the sox this year. Manager Duffy
realizes as much. and has been putting
them through some special stunts on the
training trip. He has paid special at
tention to the fielding work of these men,.
He has done his best to teach them to
hold men to their bases and to give the
catchers chance of throwing them out
when they attempt to steal. He has
spent days in teaching the men to field
their positions. and other days in teach
ing them a change of pace. The fans
who have seen Lange, Olmstead and Scott
pitch know that none of these possessed
this latter-this change of pace. Duffy
has an idea that a man is not a good
pitcher when he is compelled to rely upon
any one ball. Langes splitter is all well
and good, but if he can mix that up with
a fast ball and then a slow one he is
equipped to pitch to almost any batter
in the American League. Duffy has paid
his usual attention to these things.
Baker Best Of Recruits.
Baker seems the best of the recruits
Probably his closest rival is Farthing.
also southpaw. Farthing came from
the Lincoln club Of the Western League.
He has corking curve ball, but he must
place too much dependence upon it. If
he had fast ball he would be well
equipped. But he lacks this fast one, and
his lack of speed is the thing which will
return him to the minors If Duffy de-
cides that he must 60.
Rogge. the Chicago pitcher with the
fairly good pitcher, but then the SOX have
so many stars that a man must be some
thing more than merely good pitcher
to stick. Bruker is another who might
have stuck if the team was not SO well
supplied This fellow is both pitcher
and an outfielder. is a hard hitter
and fast man on the bases, but Is ham
dicapped by the fact that Duffy already
possesses bunch of real stars. and there
Is no place for a man of ordinary ability.
Old Fellows Are Very Fit.
OF the old fellows, not one has gone
back. 1t looks very much as if White,
Baker and Young would be the south
paws of the staff, and that Duffy would
depend upon Ed Walsh, Olmstead, Scott
and Lange when he thinks it the proper
thing to send a Highlander against the
enemy These men are likely to do the
pitching for the SoX. and If they live up
to the reputation they have displayed so
far on the training trip, then the slab of
the White Sox will be one Of the horrors
of the American League-that is, for the
enemy.

The fans who believe Connie Mack
never let a good player get away and
do not believe Joe jackson and Sgd
Smith, Athletic discards, will come Nd
to expectations should remember Jack
knight, who was turned loose by Mack.
Knight went to Baltimore and helped
win the Eastern League pennant and
then was picked up by the Yankees. He
hit .312 last year and is one of the
great infielders OF the American League.
1t is a good bet that Mack would give
$4,000 for knight any day. Jack would
be Just the first baseman to take the
place of Harry Davis, and with knight
on first. Connie would have the greatest
young infield in base ball history.

Big Scream on the South Side this year.
He is man who is peculiar for a left

control. Baker is a big, rangy fellow.
who looks and acts very much like Jack
Pfiester of the Cubs. In fact. the resem-
blance between the two is remarkable
Baker looks like Pfiester. except that he is
heavier. His delivery is almost dupli-
cate of the Cub southpaw. Baker appears
to be the find Of the year for the Sox in
the pitching line. He has tremendous
speed and also possesses that wide-break-
ing, sweeping curve ball that seems the
natural possession of every left-hander.
He can put the ball anywhere he likes.
He is a big. husky chap, who should be
able to work just as often as Manager
Duffy wants him to. In a word. Baker
looks the goods.

Hugh Duffy, the manager OF the Wmte
Sox, has an idea that the South Side ag-
gregation will have even a better Pitch
ing staff than in the years gone by,
which certainly would be some pitching
staff. for the South Side gang has al
ways been celebrated for the strength OF
the fellows who did the twirling.
For years and years-in fact, ever
since the Old Roman broke into base ball
in Chicago-the White Sox have been
noted for the effectiveness of the twirl-
ers The Sox never hit much, but any
time that they got few runs they won
the ball game. The reason was that their
pitchers We're always SO effective that a
few runs were enough to win. because
the other fellows couldn't even get a
few.
Now comes Duffy with the statement
that his pitchers are even stronger than
usual.
LANCE, Baker and Olmstead Good.
Duffy bases his claim upon the showing
made by three men on his staff. This
does not include Walsh, the grandest of
them all. Duffy claims that LANCE. the
Highlander with the speed and spit ball;
Baker, the southpaw recruit, and Ohm
stead, the Highlander with the speed
and curves, are all stars of the slab, and
that when they face the batters Of the
American League they will demonstrate
that runs are hard to secure off them.
Comparisons are always odious, and
therefore everybody likes to make them.
This one will be between the twirling
staff Of the Sox of this year and the one
Of last A man does not have to be a
to- hat hn nil n q
of the Sox this year will be stronger than
the one of last. Nor does a man have to
be prophet to predict that the Sox will
be well up in the race and a much better
and outfelders will show. the same inn
provement that has already been demon
strated by the slabmen.
Only one man considered a good pitcher
who was with the club last year is is
that man. There is no use in saying
that Smith is not a good pitcher-when he
wants to be. He has all the stuff that
good pitcher requires. But smith was
never a winner and for the simple reason
that he could not forget that such q man
as Ed Walsh was on the ball club. Smith
is a good pitcher. But he isn't Walsh
If he could have driven that fact through
his head he would have been far more
effective.
Trio to Replace Smith.
Duffy now has three men to replace
Smith. And these three will probably
make such a showing that the South Side
fans will forget that they ever had a
piano mover on the twirling staff. Take
Frank LANCE, for instance. This young
fellow is a whale of pitcher. He is a
young man, and that is an asset instead
of a liability. He has as good a spit ball
as Smith ever possessed. That places
them on even terms. for what LANCE has
in addition to his spit ball makes him just
that much ahead OF Smith. the idea
being that when you robbed Smith of his
splitter you robbed him of all his possess
sions as a pitcher. LANCE has a good
curve ball. Duffy also has taught him a
change Of pace. and these are two possess
sions that Smith never had. Then Lange
has the better of Smith in that he has
been taught to hold base runners to their
bags
