Chance Denies
Murphy's Charges.

New York, Sept. z6.-Frank Chance
manager of the Chicago Cubs. lying in a
private hospital still weak from the eff
fects of a recent operation, made indig-
nant reply. today to recent charges by
President Murphy that loose living and
training methods had lost the Chicago
Nationals the 1912 pennant In vigorous
language Chance declared it was untrue
that the Cubs had lost the pennant,
either this or any other year, for the
reasons stated.

haved baseball team in either league"
he said Most of these players take
a glass of beer after the game and 1
consider that beneficial. None of my men
ever takes drink in the morning or
between games. 1 made rule, this year,
that none of my pitchers should smoke
cigarettes, and | think they lived up to
this rule
Murphy only thinks of the team when
it is winning. The team for my sake
plays harder when l am away than when
l am with them, They want to finish in
second place and so do /. and | want to
meet the White Sox in the post-season
series. These unjust charges of Muir
PHYS will naturally make it hard to ac-
compish either of these things. OF
course his statement reflects upon me
personally and l have been in the bust
ness too long to allow Murphy or anyone
else to insult me. 1t is for this reason
make this statement at this time
Chance will be back in Chicago in time
to direct his club during the playing of
the series with the Sox if such a series
is arranged, it was learned. tonight. His
physician, DR.. w. G. Fralick. said that
the Cub manager would leave the hospi-
tai, Saturday, having made a complete
