FRANKIE CHANCE
STILL ROWLING

New York. n. Y. June eO-Captain
Frank Chance, of the Chicago Cubs, let
out an awful wall before he left mere
for Philadelphia. He takes a crack az
Tom Lynch, and also says few things
about the Giants.
IF Lynch was right in assigning
Finneran to our. games at the Polo
grounds" said Chance, why did he
sUpplant him with KLEIN after half the
series had been finished2 Wasn't that
an admission that a mistake had been
made? Finneran must have shown
something that did not appeal to Lynch
else he wouldn't have removed him.
Then why was it fair TO suspend Tink-
er and Zimmerman for kicking over de-
cisions that were raw?
From a business point of view the
suspension of these players cost the
New York club thousands of dollars.
The Cubs were crippled without them
and the last two games of the series
lost much attractiVeness. The Giants
at that won those two games by the
skin of their teeth. If they keep on
having things all their own way it
won't be long before the interest in
the league race is next to nothing"
Chance also believes that he made an
important discovery at the Polo
grounds When Cheney began TO warm
up before the game, with young Cotter
catching, Chance insisted that the rub
Der on which the Cub pitcher stood was
not far enough away from the plate. As
rubber and plate are fixed firmly in the
turf not far from the visitors bench,
Chance thought he saw something
wrong and when he paced the dis
lance he was sure of ii. He ordered
Cheney TO stand fully a yard behind
the rubber and then told him to warm
up under new conditions. McGraw no
ticed what was going on but said
nothing. The ChicagOs after the game
were labOring under the delusion that
the warmUp box had been purposely
fixed three feet short of the regular
distance so that when Cheney began
pitching in the game he would find it
difficult to locate the regulation home
plate.

What Big League
Players Are Doing

TT EINE ZIMMERMAN, of the Cubs,
still leads the National league
- - batsmen with a mark of .41S.
Chief Meyers is the Teuton's nearest
competitor who has performed in a
majority of games, and he is clouting
the ball at a .365 gait.
Iris Speaker, of the Red SOx, is the
boss biffer in the Johnsonian loop,
with an average of 400 even. Larry
LajOie fell to .391 during the week,
list by a scant margin over the fast
coming Ty Cobb, who hit hard enough
to give him a seasOn'smar Of 1856 thus
far.
Jimmy Block is the best hitter of the
SoX, having an average of 1853 for
80 games. John Collins, who partici-
pated in - contests, owns a mark Of
.329.
RUDE Marquard, with II successive
victories, is far ahead of any other
National league pitcher, and Crandall,
his team mate, is second, with four
wins and no losses. MarOney, who was
victorious in his only full game, is the
leading Cub finger, but Lavender. Che
ney and Richie are well up in the list.
Baskette. Of the Maps, tops the
victories and no defeats. Jim Scott, of
the SOX, has two wins and is right
behind him. The real leader, however,
is Plank, of the Mackmen, who has won
six out of seven games
The SOX have dropped a couple Of
nOtches in team hitting and fielding
The Cubs are holding their own in
each of these departments, being sec
Ond in fielding and third in batting.

French Boxing Promoters Hang Up
Huge Sum for Two Negroes to
Fight In Paris, France.

FEW YORK, y " June 20.-John
N Arthur johnson is certainly a
- lucky man. The French boxing
7,rouoters. through Victor Breyer, have
cabled an offer of $4,000 to the cham
pion if he viii fight Joe Jeanette 50
rounds in the fair city of Paris. And
that $4,000 goes whether LII Artna
wins loses or draws.
All the Parisians want IS 10 see
johnson fight jeanette. The reason
they will guarantee Johnson so much
money is that he demanded this sum
last year when they preached such q
battle TO him. Now that they see

he has improved greatly since, he
would stand no chg nee against the tall
and lanky Britisher.
The Englishman IS really clever and
worthy of a thorough test here for a
match with the winner of the Jack

This Thomas boy, who on short no.

at Los Angeles, taking the place Of
Owen Moran. must have some class
Harry Thomas is an English lad who
fOugbS as a bantamweight not long
ago and last season went to New York
and fought many featherWeiShts. He
is a clever youth, but never had a
chance to show his class before a good
boy until he stacked up against Jack
White, this is. good boy in the $50
pound class. Thomas fought White to
q standstill for 20 rounds and gave a
splendid exhibition OF cleverness, both
in boxing and fOotwork, and his work
was so sensational that the fans have
asked for a return bout between the
two. 1t is all the more remarka BILE
when it is considered that the boy
gave away weight TO White and fought
on two days notice. Jimmy Johnston,
who took Moran to Los Angeles. had
Thomas along as a side partner and
trainer for owen. Harry proved a
lucky find for Johnston at that time
and is now liable to develop into an
other Moran, for when Moran was
right he was as good as any of them.

received and Wells was considered
about the best thing in boxing way
sent from England in some time.
The BOmbardier has been in the

every concession and proposition that
can possibly be expected of them by

plan finally agreed upon is as fair as
could be devised, and all tnat the most

Now let us buckle on our armor and
get down to business and make the pri-

every particular. Let US duplicate the
action of Kentucky, and nominate one
that has been tried and not found
wanting. The best material, for Gov
ernor at this critical time, has so far
not come to the front.

the sole purpose of engrafting them
selves into favor with the National
