FARRELL SPEAKETH NOT
Refuses to Affirm or Deny
Chance Will Lead Yankees.
MAY CLOSE DEAL TO-DAY
American League Owners Meet
and Transact the Usual
Routine Business.

Chicago, Dec. 11.--When asked tonight
II It were true that deal had been ar
ranged by which Frank Chance, former
manager Of the Chicago Cubs, would lead
the Yankees next year, Frank Farrell.
owner of the New York club, who is at
tending the American League meeting
here, would neither deny nor affirm the
story
"Wiu Chance manage the New York
club" Mr.. Farrell was asked
He has not been approached yet, was
the reply.
IF Chance gets his release from the
National Legue will you make him an
offer?" Mr.. Farrell was saked.
Il don't care TO answer. | won't say
anything until / see, in black and white,
that Chance is free agent he replied.
It is expected here that an official an
nouncement will be made tomorrow OF
the deal whereby Chance will become
manager of the New York Yankees at
salary said TO be the largest ever paid
a baseball player.
At the meeting here to-day Of the
American League club owners all claims
were waived TO Corridor, of Detroit. so
that President Navin, Of the Tigers,
might dispose OF him TO Cincinnati and
complete the trade by which Corridor
and four other players went to the Chit
cago Cubs in exchange for Joe Tinker and
two others.
An executive session OF the league was
held this afternoon and adjournment was
taken at o'clock tonight TO meet again
tomorrow morning. c. w. Somers, or
the Cleveland club, was elected vlce-presi-
dent Of the league, and the presidents OF
the Chicago, New York, Cleveland and
Boston clubs were appointed members OF
the board Of directors for 1913.
Resolutions also were adopted regret
ting the deaths OF John r. Brush, late
president Of the New York Giants. and
Thomas c. Noyes, president of the Wash
ington club, Of the American League.
Formal award also was made OF the
pennant to the Boston Red Sox, who, by
the way, were lauded for winning the
worlds championship.
Owners we're silent on trades and, al
though admitting they had material they
were willing to dispose of for something
better, there was nothing OH the surface
10 Indicate any startling transfers.
The rumor few days ago that Sam
Crawford. OF the Detroit club, might
come 10 Chicago, was denied by President
Navin, who said that the hard-hitting
outhelder would remain with the Tigers.

may eventually go TO the courts for adju-
dication. The arbitration scheme has
gone up in thin air. although Garry Herr
mann said yesterday that that means OF
settling the matter was still open TO the
dlspu1ng parties II they cared to resort
to II. Otherwise decision will be made
by the board of directors at the meeting
in February. Bresnahan declares that If
the directors do not do what he considers
the right thing he will go TO court. The
ST. Louis club may do the same thing If
the decision goes against 1t. The two
parties evidently have no respect for the
authority OF the directors or the league.
Harry n. Hampstead, the new president
OF the Giants. when approached concern
ing the report that the Yankees were
going to play at the Polo Grounds next
season. declared that such contingency
was news to- him and he did not care to
discuss It at this time.

That your committee met on December

the prizes which Mr.. Powers represent

that the action Of Mr.. Powers In having

person, signing the name OF Mr.. Powers
without any indication that such sigma

that the pending army appropriation
