Now II is said that poor Richie was
subjected to heroic methods of reduc-

day and that a halt in his work had to
be called to sUbdue a tendency to fever
and extreme nervous tension.
At that Richie passed muster on the
scales successfully on the day Of the

FEW YORK, June THE Tanks
M are still deep in the rut of de-
feat. but that does not prohibit
them winning their first game Of the
season on the home grounds nor from
breaking suddenly away from their
slump and striking the high road to
a long string of victories. I have
seen clubs trailing along in last place
until they were thought to have no
chance to pull up to a look in for the
pennant and then come up from be-
hind when they did get their squirt and
shoot away from their fellow second
divisiopers so fast it almost took your
breath away, and in the last month
OF the race challenge the leading club
and heat it out in the final dash.
Chance Had to Learn.
Manager Chance. when he took
charge of the Yankees, was. in my
estimation, under a big handicap by
nos being acquainted with American
league clubs and players, their differ
ent styles of play. both individually
and collectively. He needed time to
study not only his opponents, but also
his CWE players, with whom he was
just as unacquainted. He was be-
qUeaChed, too, a lot OF players VINO, at
the close of last season, were left
som eW nat discouraged, ana by their
record not over strong without re-
building
Under favorable conditions it is a
IA ISL difficult task for any manager
To construct a winning aggregation
from material he knows little about.
Tt surely requires much more time
than the less than two months that
the present championship season mas
been running. Again, too, the field
afforded Chance in which to secure
new players was exceedingly limited,
and consequently. when his team failed
to ROUND into form. he was left flat.
Every well posted baseball man
knows that it is a most dangerous
proceeding to experiment with new
and untried players during the early
months of a championship season.
Then is the time that all wise man
ayers are striving to get the jump on
their opponents. A stern chase is a
long one and the leading clubs always
do the big business.
Chance, too, took hold of the Yam
KEGS i'm a year that found the Athletics,
Washington, Clevelands and BostOns
better fortified than ever to make
winning starts. The Tanke, too. were
by the schedule forced to play the
strongest teams in the American
league, and the winning rushes of the
Quakers and Senator's just carried the
rather uuTrepared Chauctites off their
feet and they have not fully recovered
