LET-UP FOR THE YANKEES
Diamond Too Wet for a Game
with Jersey City Skeeters.

Hamilton. Bermuda. March l3.-The
miniature deluge late yesterday afternoon
cost Frank Chance and his Yankees
practice game with the Jersey city Skeet-
ers this afternoon. The weather cleared
but the improvised diamond on the cricket
field was so wet and soggy that 1t was
necessary to confne the days work to the
lghtest kind of practice. The men tossed
the ball about, INDUCED in some funSo
batting and did a little walking and run
ming to improve their wind, but nothing
in the way Of a game could be attempted
The players rather welcomed the niue
let-up, as Chance has been driving them
fairly hard in the last few days. Not too
hard for their good, II may be SAID as
the former manager of the Cubs has the
eve of a hawk and seems TO know ny IN
tuition when a man is in danger OF going
stale from too much work. His handling
of Paddy Green has been n clear indica-
ton Of this. as the pitcher, who is snow
ing high promise, was warned TWO or
three DAYS ago to take things bit more
easily.
The Yankees will line up against 'he
