MCRAW COULDN'T SCARE The YOUNCSTER CHANCE OUT
OF THE NATIONAL LEAGUE; SHOWED HIS NERVE EARLY

GOOD afternoon, ladies and gentle
men. Here we are again. introducing
the man OF the hour in baseball, Mr..
Frank Phoenix Chance, VINO was
burned up by Charles Webfoot Muir
ply and sold on the block for a
measly $500.
Chance Is one OF the biggest figures
in baseball today. as manager OF the
New York Yankees. s.
For years when the New York
Giants We're trying 10 blaze trail 10
the National league pennant, Chance
and his Cubs were wont TO block said
trail. He had plenty OF brainy clever
men to help him. That is true but
McGraw always recognized that in
this determined and ofttimes savage
leader he could never count victory
until the bats were packed. And by
Jove. old top didn't he swipe rag
once even after the willows were
housed? He did.
Ever hear the story of the first
meeting between McGraw and
Chance? If not II will enlighten you
as TO the possibilities OF the efforts
that will be made this season by both
men.

Chance shot back at McGraw: Think

runt Well. got nerve enough 10 be

And SO, while these two battlers

the same field this season, by all
tokens Chance, Of Chicago. and Nc
Graw, of New York, are likely to give
New York fans the best entertain
