Brooklyn Dodgers May Land
Either Chance Or Bresnahan
President Ebbetts Has Opened Negotiations With the
Deposed Managers in an Effort to Put His Team
Up in the Championship Glass Chicago
and ST. Louis Are at a Loss
CBY SAM CRANE)

New York. y. Y. Oct 29.-With
Frank Chance and Roger Bresnahan
on the managerial market as now
seems probable, there appears to be a
most lovely chance for those owners of
the National league clubs who have
not fixed themselves with astute and
most valuable leaders Of teams, to take
advantage of the great opportunity
presented. by terrifying themselves
with the best managerial talent in the
business.
Greater New York baseball fans are
more interested right now on what de-
cision president Ebbets, of the Brook
lyn club viii make in his choice for
manager of the Superbas than what
other clubs win do The Giants are OF
course well fixed with McGraW as
leader and he will probably be a fixture
as such just so long as he himself is
agreeable.
But president Ebbets and the Brook
lvn club are not so well heeled for
managerial timber and the possibility
of both Chance and Bresnahan seVerlng
their connections with the cubs and
Cardinals respectively has afforded an
opening for Ebbets that he cannot al

have it on good authority too, that
the owner of the club across the
bridge after whom the Superba's new
home is named has already entered
into negotiations with both Chance
and Bresnahan.
If he secures either, he can announce
q new holiday, because all Brooklyn
win applaud. Yes all the fans over
there in that burg viii go further, they
win get Up on their tptoes and yell
paeOns Of JOY.
The engagement Of Chance or Bres-
uahan would put new life into baseball
in Brooklyn, and be a most fitting eli
max to the grand opening Of Ebbets'
field that is sure to take place next
spring. And if Roger Bresnahan is
secured as manager Of the Superbas,

FRANK CHANCE WANTS
$4,000 FROM MURPHY

Chance, in Albuquerque today. declared
that he has practically decided to re-
tire from baseball and that Charles

of the Chicago National league club.

Can Afford the Price.
President Ebbets, with the added at
traction Of his new ball park, can we'll
afford to pay the money that he would
nave to spend to secure either Bresna-
han or Chance.
Without wishing to detract from the
ability Of the managers the Brooklyn
club has had since Ned HanlOn, still
the fact remains that the Superbas
have not been a success under the
managers the team has had since, and
many of the annual failures have been
due, or charged, anyhow, against the
later managers.
There is no doubt that the Brooklyn
club has had as strong pitching staff
and certain individual players that
have been the bright particular stars
Of the National league. But lack of
team work and Wea kness in several
positions has held the team down out
rageously low compared with the SPLEEN
did nucleus the club had at the start OF
many seasons.
The natural conclusion to arrive at,
therefore, is that manager with the
fighting qualities, ability and winning
records that both Bresnahan and
Chance have would surely make the
Superbas as they stand today a first
division club and probably cOntenders
for the championship.

Fred Clark is supposed to be getting

SCHOOL STARTS

This morning the school bell on the hill called the children together for the first session of the new term. Youngsters of various sizes could be seen coming from all directions as 9 o'clock drew near. There seemed to be general air of expectancy about the crowd of scholars that gathered this morning. but no small proport- ion of them regret that vacat- ion is over.
 The enrolment is far larger than during any previous open ing day of school. The number this morning that reported for duty was l26. Last year the first days enrolment was 9i. Two years ago the highest at tendance was 7S. last yeari IT, and this year will probably be in excess of i50. The increase is so large that a shortage of books is threatened and a rush order is being sent below. There are 6 pupils in the High School and a number of others are to report during the week.
