Says That TOO Often Ship Gets
Credit, When II Belongs
To Wave
BANKS ON EvERS YOUTH
AND PLAYING ABILITY
viii Not Say That Chance win
Be a Wizard AS Bench
Manager

CHICAGO, Jan. 20.--The Cubs. past
and present with particular references
to Cub managers past and present,
and with more particular references TO
Frank Chance. as against Jobnny
Evers. are dealt with in long signed
article by Charles w. Murphy. Cub
president. in the Chicago Evening
Post today. II is the longest iEter
view in Murphy's career, the first
time he has emerged from the shell
OF secrecy In which he has always
been hedged.
OF why Chance was let out. and his
comparison OF Chance and Evers.
When | asked Frank Chance III he
he writes. he replied i would rather
not.'r
Murphy continues:
After Evers had succeeded to the
position, Evers said: 4 would not
trade positions with the presideIt ot
the United states.
without wishing to detract from
the accomplishments OF Mr.. Chance.
am compelled to use rather recent
expression of Mr.. Ted Sullivan and
say: Too often the ship gets credit
when II really belongs to the wave.
Chance, gets credit for the achieve
ments OF the Cubs In the last years.
and he should get ali the credit due
him, but il should be borne In mind
that he has been fortified at all times
with bunch of ball players. WIN as
out and do things a.
Murphy talks OF the ADVANTAGE Of
youth and the handicap OF advancing
age. and pointedly says, my enthus-
iasm Is pretty much confined to trose
men who can play the game--and not
TO those who wish TO draw pay for
telling others how to do It, We don't
want a company of superintendents
We want more ball playing and less
managing"
AS between Chance and Eyers, he
says:
Frank Chance was successful as a
playing manager. am not prepared
to say that he will prove a wizard as
a bench manager. do not believe
that he thinks as fast as Evers or
Tinker. And it might be said. in pass
Ing, that the national game Is geared
up so now that fast thinking Ia the
first requisite Of success. Handling q
ball club nowadays must be done
after the fashion that the electrical
machine works which makes the riy-
cts on the modern steel skyscrap-
pers
Murphy confidently predicts cham
pionship season for 1918. He says he
has the best fortified team In the
major leagues. He waxes enthus-
tastic over the addition OF Bresnahan
to the Cub stan. and says he has the
best array of catchers In the world.
He also predicts success for Evers.
In conclusion, will say that the
club that beats as will win the dag
Mark that prediction II tho way he
closes his four column statement.

Selbach wasn't long in reaching
the maor league when he took to
baseball, and he remained until his
arm went back on him and he could
no longer throw TO the plate. He al.

more than thankful and will be ready
In 1914 for definite pennant winning
campaign.
Detroit is really not bothered much
more with holdouts this season than
are several other clubs, but the De-
troit men who are dissatisfied have
kicked up more fuss than any others
because OF two reasons: Detroit
writer's pay more attention to the
players side In AFFAIRS Of this sort
than do the writer's OF any other
major league city: the Detroit players
are the well known men OF he game
like Cobb, Crawford and Dubuc. whose
ACTIONS naturally demand more at
tention than do those OF the unknown
men.
Furthermore, Detroit Is at that
stage in the game when the men who
earned big salaries during pennant
winning days are In for cuts and they
naturally do not take 1t any too
kindly.
But after all Is said and done In the
winter league, let's remember then 1t

THE GERMAN SOFA.
Il 10 the Seat Of Honor For the Visitor
With the Biggest Title.

With the Biggest Title.
The stranger in Germany is always
impressed by the Importance OF the
sofa in marking social distinctions. In
deed. among Germans Of the more
comfortab Bile class. those who live from
generation to generation In the same
house. every piece OF furniture has its
own history and makes its own associa-
tons, but it is always the sofa that is
given the prominent place 10 a room.
Before it usually stands q round or
oval table.
Should there be callers at the average
German house there ensues q certain
dignifed commotion. Should a caller, a
woman OF lower social standing than
the mistress Of the house, arrive she
must take a chair. while the hostess
sits alone on the sofa. Should the Wis
itor be OF higher degree. however, the
matter will be otherwise decided.
This method OF distinction reaches its
highest point when there is a tea party,
or k~affeeklatsch coffee gossip, for
then the oldest woman with the big
gest title sit on the sofa, and the
next in rank occupies the place nearest
her.
A. the proudest usually arrives lat
est, a general stir is likely to take
place, for If the Frau Doktorin, the
wife Of a physician or scholar, is sit
ting on the sofa she must vacate her
position should a Frau Professorin ap-
pear. The Frau Majorin. or wife Of 4
major, may be thoroughly enjoying the
seat Of honor. but ste must yield it
without hesitation when the Frau Gen
eralin ONES in. Tie whole company
rise in such an event to do honor to the
distinguished guest. and there must
necessarily follow a general readjust
ment OF places.
Neither unmarried men nor very
young women can expect to enjoy the
privilege Of sitting on a German sofa.
The piece OF furniture that stands
next In honor to the sofa is the easy
chair. which is sometimes called sor.
genstuhl. OF chair Of cares. Should a
German sit down to worry he must
have q comfortable seat, that SO i'm
portant a mood may be endured with
dignity. A common chair would not
serve his purpose in the least But the
sorgenstuhl Is, SO to speak, for domes-
tic and personal use only. The sofa
is the part Of the entire social frame
work never to be carelessly regarded.
