League asking for the forwarding of
tickets for seats for the games. Arena
seats will be reserved, but the balcony
seats will be occupied by the youngsters.
The entry list of l,lss midget runners is

There is one thing on which Chance has
cen yroperly quoted, as it comes from a
source which cannot be questioned. This
is the statement that he does not expect

IN this plan of handling team. II Is ask
ing too much OF any man, in my opinion,

Of handling a major league team and en-
pect him TO do justice 10 himself as a
player. Little things are bound TO escape
his attention If he must devote his ener-
sies 10 covering a certain position, and
these little things are oftentimes the turn
ing point Of a hard-fought game. There
arc exceptions 10 every rule and Chance
himself has been an outstanding eNcep-
ton. 20 far as a player-manager goes,
but those most interested in the Yankees
should applaud his decision, as it Will
