YESTERDAY and resigned. Rumors have been
going the rounds for two or three weeks
that Chase would not handle the team an

to suggest Harry Wolverton as his success

the appointment Of Wolverton or somebody
else To put the Yankees in the running I'm
the race for the American League pennant

said that he had been trying to summon up

be Of more service 10 the club as a player
without the worries that go with handling

10 STAY with the team and give his best SER
vices for the same money he was receiving
as manager no matter who his successor
should be.
