KING OF TRADERS
Chance Builds Up Champs at
Expense of Other Clubs.
SHREWDER THAN McALEER
Every Deal He Makes Proves Bene-
fetal to the Strong Chi
cago Cubs.

Jim McAleer may have gained the title
Of the David Harum of base ball, but
there is no doubt of his having been sue
ceeded by Frank Chance of the Cubs In
all of McAleer's career he occasionally
pulled off a deal which did not bring him
any great renown. But clever as NC
Aleer was in pulling off his deals, he Is
not in the same class with Frank Chance,
who does not appear 10 have ever made
bad trade.
Chance, with Charley Murphy's as
sistance, began TO dicker for players to
strengthen the Cubs in 1905. His first big
deal was when he hypnotized st. Louis
into parting with Mordecai Brown and
Catcher O'Neill for Pitcher Jack Taylor,
now pitching in the Central League. Tay-
lor was about at the end of his big league
string, but ST. Louis did not realize it no
more than 1t did that it had great
pitcher in Three-Fingered Brown.
Catcher O'Neill. along with Pitcher
Pfeffer, soon found his way to Boston,
Chicago getting Catcher Pat Moran, who
proved to be Of great service in teaching
Young pitchers and helping out behind
the bat occasionally.
Then Chance and Murphy mesmerized
Garry Hermann into trading Third Base
man Steinfeldt for Pitcher Weimar. The
latter had been a star for the Cubs. but
amounted to but little thereafter, Cincin-
natl finally letting him go to New York
for the waiver price. On the other hand
Steinfeldt. who had been thought all in
by the Red owners, caught MS second
wind. and was member of pennant-
winning teams at Chicago, being tower
of strength at third and at the bat. In
fact, it was not until this year that Chi
cago parted with him, while Weimar has
been a dead one for years
Makes a Big Swap.
That same year Chance traded Pitcher
Bert Briggs, Third Baseman Jimmy Ca
sey and Outfielders Jack Mccarthy and
Billy Maloney to Brooklyn. Sheckard is
still a star member Of the Cubs, while
the others passed below the big league
horizon several seasons ago. Mccarthy
is managing the Danville club in the
Three-I League, Jimmy Casey is a South
Michigan League manager. and Briggs is
dead.
Along In the middle of the 1905 season
Chance got Garry Hermann in a trading
mood again and unloaded Bob Wicker on
him and merely relieved Garry of Orvie
Overall. For four seasons the giant CAL
ifornian was one of the leading pitchers
in the National League and is expected
to show his second wind again in the near
future. Wicker is somewhere in the
minors
The following year Chance felt that he
needed another good utility man to help
out Artie Holman, whom he had got by
the waiver route from Pittsburg. Conse-
auently. he traded Randall, an outfielder.
and Sweeney, an intielder both recruits.
for Howard of Boston. Randall and
Sweeney were never missed. while How
ard proved valuable substitute for
Chance at first base, even playing that
position in some of the games during the
worlds series of 1907.

powerful influence that President Taft
is able to exert for the first two and
in tho face of the nationwide demand

Him
FIVE THOUSAND SUPPORTED
THE SOCIALIST TICKET

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
SEATTLE, Wash, Feb. S-Mayor
Hiram Gill today admitted that he
had been recalled at yesterdays cleo
tion and there was no doubt that wo-
man suffrage had been responsible.
, George billing. OF the Citizens Wei
faro League, was chosen Mayor by
plurality OF about 1000, cill wal
elected last March BY about 5,SOl
votes although he carried only the
four downtown wards.
The recall was used on Gill as soon
as the women were granted the right
OF suffrage. Gill appointed as chief
Of police. Charles Wappenstein, a for
mer Cincinnati detective. who was dis
missed under charges in the Ohio city
and who was later dismissed as chief
Of detectives Of Seattle.
II Is charged by the recall leaders
that Chief Wappenstein farmed out
the vice privileges to a syndicate ana
had collected a large percentage OF
the receipts.
One of the big surprises OF the cleo
ton was The enormous vote polled by
the Socialist candidate. Although
this vote is not yet complete, 1t is GER
tain that il will exceed 5000.
Women were very active at the
polls. They formed lines at the booths
and It was plain that they had studied
the election laws carefully as they
voted even more rapidly than the
