their attention will be distracted ana
mind on the play. Whether they have
been ordered by manager clark Grlf-
filth to do this sort Of thing is easy to
answer. They wouldn't do it without
the approval OF the manager.
The fact that Griffith IS friend OF
his. however, did not make any differ
euce TO Chance. When the game was
nearly over. the Peerless Leader
walked toward the Washington bench
and spoke his mind to one Of the
Washington WOuld-be comedians. Had
as much as one word in the same tone
been offered in return, the one ad-
dressed probably would have learned
how hard Chance can punch q man.

not been as yet The very next day it
was conspicuous by its absence, though
the same pair did the cOacnlng.
Chance never encountered such a
proposition in the National league.
Not a single National league team

attempted to be clown on the coach
ing lines. and the experience was new
to him. He believes that the fans
pay their money to see first-class
baseball played, to see good pitching,
batting. baserunning, fielding and gen
eralship. If it were not this they want
to see, he argues, they could do just as
well by paying minor league prices TO
see minor league ball and they could
get better humOr by paying ten cents
to ~ to a moving picture vaudeville
show He does not like to see the
game turned into q joke.
The day after the run-in between
Chance and the Washington jolze-not
joker-the New York leader allowed
word to sift to the rival camp that he
favored an appeal to president Ban
Johnson to put an entire quietus on
clown work unless the Washington
should see fit to tone it
down sufficiently.

Chance FrOwns at Comedy Of COachers
the New York Americans Believes Fans Pay to See Real
By MONTY.

ATEW YORK, May 3.-Frank
N Chance is a man who believes
in the serious side OF baseball.
Comedy on the coaching lines doesn't
make hit with him. He can't see
where foolish antics have a place in
the national game. Perhaps he is not
far from the right view.
IN the very first game Of his Ameri-
can league career, his charges were
shot against the Senators which, ac-
cOrding to the boast Of some Washing
ton fans, have the funniest pair Of
cOachers in the big leagues Germany
Herman Schaefer and Nick AltrOck.
Chance had a sample Of their galli-
Tanungs on that occasion and then
later when the capitulatiOns made
their first visit to New York. From
the very beginning Chances sense Of
humOr failed to be appealed to and
al er the second dose Of it he had be-
come Disguised.
oetore the opening home game IN
New York A1trock projected himself
into the limelight before the fans by
attempting ttO act like every sort OF
lunatic he could think Of. He did
foolish tricks with the ball, assumed
various sawky attitudes and meantime
twisted his face into all the gr1maces
he could contrive. Occasionally he
would utter some sort Of piercing
shrek, such as one would expect 10

the spectators thought he was excru-

hind first base and Schaefer behind

at the start with only an occasional

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1913-11-07

continued to seek glory on the mat. His
quest was invariably successful. NO
longer ago than 1901 an offer came from
Manchester, n. H. 1t was on the oeca-
sion of the dedication of a large gym
nasium, and sporting men from all parts
of New England gathered there to see
the Green Mountain farmer meet his bet
ter. For three days matches were pulled
off, but the end saw the man from Brain
tree still in the lead. 1t was his last
public appearance on the cushion. De-
clining years and desire to improve his
large timber tracts in Orange county led
him to abandon the game. Mr.. Flagg
was married in this city Thursda-., and
after a few days at sight seeing he in
tends to take his bride back to the an
cestral farm in Braintree, there to de-
vote his whole time to reforesting i'm
mense areas of mountain land and to
breeding fancy Cotswold sheep, for which
he has already become justly famed.
Here in America wrestling as a sport
has fallen into bad repute. Too often
the matches have been fixed and a
long suffering public is averse to beliey-
ing that the game was once elevated TO
high levels in the sporting world.
To the fact that every man jack of
them wrestled straightaway and fair,
Mr.. Flagg attributes the craze for
matches that once existed. Individually,
the champions in those days were men
who rarely used liquor and seldom
smoked to excess. II was bad for the
wind, they said. During his long career
as a wrestler Of the first class, Mr.. Flagg
never aroused the anger of his opponent.
Neither did he allow his adversary to
anger him. The same was true in a
measure of the other famous wrestlers
of the day, Dufur, Mcmahon, and the
Others. Those who recall the scene which
followed the late defeat of the Terrible
Turk in one Of the large eastern cities
viii smile at Mr.. Flagg's concluding OBJ
seryation of the wrestlers then and now.

Grand Jury Brings a Man
slaughter Indictment
Against Ballard
CHARGES KILLING OF
THOMAS F. LEAHEY
Ballard Alleged to Have
Shot Leahey, a Hal
lowe'en Celebrator

Rutland, Nov. THE grand jury
which Wednesday began the considera-
ton of the case of Dewitt Ballard OF
Castleton, who on Oct. 81 fatally wound
ed with revolver Thomas F. Leahey OF
West Rutland while the latter, with 9th
er boys, was celebrating Halloween near
the respondents house, reported in Rut-
land county court yesterday afternoon
that they had found an indictment for
manslaughter against Ballard.
The evidence was presented to the
grand jury Wednesday afternoon, and as
they did not report until noon yester-
day, it is believed that some difficulty
was experienced in deciding upon the de-
gree of the crime on which Ballard is to
be tried.
The statutes provide that the penalty
for manslaughter shall be from one year
to life imprisonment or fine of not
more than $1,000. Ballard will be tried
during the present term of county court
1t is probable that J. G. Jones will de-
fend him.
