Naughton Surnaises Fireman Will Be Furious if
Champion Takes NeU York Offer.
BY ". w. Naughton

CAN FRANCISCO, April 13.-
- Before long we will know if
there is to be Jack John
son-Jim Flynn match. Just at pres
ent the prospect is none too rose
ate, but as Jack Curley has agreed
to give out some definite informa-
tion on May 1, there is no harm
continuing in a guessing mood a
while longer.
CnrIey, by the way, still insists
that the championship event will
take place In July. The only doubt,
he says, is in regard to the place
where the ring will be pitched and
it Is on this point that he is to en-
tighten MS at the beginning of the.
merry month of May, Jack is
surely persistent fellow. He has
hunted high and low Tor q iocatlon
that will serve as an appropriate
setting for the heavyweight battle
and he has shown wonderful deter
mination and marvellous qualities
of optimism IN the face Of discour-
aging conditions
Recently Jack was looking over
the ground at Juarez, across the
river from FL Paso, and was said
to be trying to pave the way for
Tho coming together of Jack and
Jim at that point. Considering
the status of affairs around Juarez,
this seems like n sign of weakness
on Jacks part. Still later he has
been negotiating with Las Vegas.

ME EW YORK, April 13>-A new
M challenger enters Ban John
sons lists this season for
mortal combat with the champion Of
all diamond knighthood. Tyrus
Raymond Cobb, the Georgia
peach" of Hugh Jennings's mighty
Tiger aggregation, is no novice at
the game. His star was firmly es-
tablished in fame's armament long
before this new wonder Of his gen
Grafton signed his FIRST "bnsh
contract. Hal Chase, first base
man of the Highlsnders, aspires
to Cobb's crown.
None can deny that Chase, in
his art, stands second only 10 the
sensational Cobb. In many respects
fhe former leader Of the Yankees
is superior to even Ty, Chase is
the greatest frst baseman of base
ball history; he Is the greatest
fielder and the quickest thinker.
He is wonderfully fast ON the
bases; he is able TO break away
quickly, and possesses that keen
intuition of just when to start so
as to get the break on the oppos-
ing battery. Rarely is he caught
stealing and he pliers third more
often than any rival. Before he
sets forth on a purlolning trip,
Chase is absolutely snre that he
holds the winning advantage.
Chase is a good hitter-a wonder
full batter in fact--snd one OF the
best men before the public when
it comes to protecting the run
ner. Hal is almost infallible on
the batting end of ''squeeze
play.

Which Of These Two Will Be Most Valuable
Player When This Major League Season Ends?

The large picture shows Hal Chase
the one man in the two big leagues
who is giving Ty Cobb real race to
keep the coveted distinction Of being
''the most valuable player" Cobb,

good baseball men say that If Chase

ponents that he always slid
to bases head first, but this
year he has sharpened his
spikes and is going In feet
first. He says he is deter
mined 10 show what he can
do when he really tries.
Many of Chase's most o.
thusiastic admirers believe
that his fear of injuripg

even greater fame than heI
now has. When running

not relinquish one inch of his right
to base lines even if the career
of an opponent is the price of a
stolen base or au extra base hit.
Such genuine earnestness as
Cobb displays might have placed
Chase on par with the Georgian
the past several years. Hal has
never been fired with the lust for
glory that prompts Ty TO climb
up and up even at the expense of
others. Indeed, the peerless first
baseman OF the Hill Toppers has
always looked upon the national
pastime lightly.
+ \ AL seems new Chase this
spring, He still is boyish and
light-hesrted in his actions
both on and OFF the field Bnt tbers
Is seriousness in his playing man
ner never before evidenced. He
has assured Wolverton of his heart
lest cooperation. He declares him
self delighted to have been relieved
of the responsibilities of manage
ment. For the first time no dis
plays deep interest in his col

them and schools them in his little
mannerisms so as TO effect the
best possible working harmony
Chase seems, if possible, more
agile than ever, And IL can be
noticed what little sliding he has
done, has been done feet first.
Also his spikes are long, of the
Ty Cobb type. 1t is reported that
he has bought file and that he
will employ it.
"I've arrived at the conclusion.
said Chase the other day, that
il is high time for me TO do some
thing with myself. There is no
reason that can see why anyone
should have anything on me as r
ball player. I've always given the

TUST one thing has stood between
II thi. wonderful player and the
ali around championship. A
fault, you might call it, but it has
more the appearance of virtue. Hal
has been Handicapped by his charm
ing personality. He has shown it
in every movement on the field,
and in his every attitude Of base
stealing. He has always slid head
first, not because be cannot pro-
gress as cleverly and quickly with
the spikes in front of him, but
through fear of injuring an oppo-

The British Opinion

London, August 1.-THE Panama canal
bill now being considered by the Amer
lean Congress, continues to be a topic
of discussion by the London morning
newspapers. The Daily News says:
1T Is TO be hoped that deadlock
between the two houses of Congress may
delay the bill until after the presidential
contest, so as to enable reconsideration
in a nom n-electioneering atmosphere. We
are not too optimistic that even the In
dofensible clauses would be omitted. We
are unable to believe that the Senate
would refuse arbitration. Such a sena.
torial veto would be confession thai
America has no case and would be G
naked act of injustice"
The Daily Graphic says THE outburs
of American public opinion against th'
Senate's action is q refreshing sign. Eva
sion of treaties is a doubled edged weapor
which might have a disastrous effect or
