A SOLD FOR $1,000.

New York, Nov. 23.-The present
position in organized baseball OF
Frank Chance. who was sold recently
to the Cincinnati club of the Chicago
Nationals for the waiver price of
$500. was made known yesterday by
President Lynch of the league.
He said that if President Hermann
of the Cincinnati club should make
the pending deal for Joe Tinker and
not care to retain Chance it would be
necessary for him. under the privi-
sions of the national agreement again
to ask for waivers on the former Chi
cago manager.
Although when Chance was sent to
the Cincinnati team all other clubs
waived on him. this has been nullified
by the lapse of the useful ten-day Pc
riod after the sale had been registered
at the leading headquarters. accord
ing to lynch. Hence. the president
holds. Chance cannot be sold to any
American league club or released out
right until all other National league
clubs again relinquish claim to him.
Chance is quoted in a report from
Los Angeles as saying that he expects
to be manager of the New York Amer
leans hex season.
