Frank Leroy Chance, formerly
Peerless Leader" OF the Chicago
Cubs. but now guiding the for
tunes OF the Highlanders here,
vas doubtless the happiest man
ii the base bali world tonight at
o:I5. when Umpire Billy Evans
called off the proceedings in the
eighth inning OF the second game
between the Highlanders and the
Philadelphia Athletics. his men
having won both games at that
time. The first engagement was
taken by score OF 5 to and the
second by q TO 4. And no wonder
Chance should be happy. for the
success of his team today gave
him his third victory out Of the
nineteen games the two teams
have PLAYED this season.
Today's double disaster to the
White Elephants can be charged
directly to Ray Caldwell. the

Maisel Plays Brilliantly.
Fritz Maisel. the diminutive third base
man. was d tower of strength in thwart-
ing the Athletics in the first game. He
played the whole infield between second
hase and the third base line. and nothing
got by him. In the second round he
made a marvellous stop and throw on
McInnis, robbing "StufTy" of a double at
least.
None of the four pitchers Mack started
was able to stand the attack OF the re-
jUvenated Highlanders. who TODAY were
enforced By Gilhooley of the Toronto
club. who made good impression as a
major Lacquer. Shawkey, Mack's young
ster from Baltimore, escaped for two
innings. but when, in the third, his sup
port wabbled and two runs came in he
was relieved by Houck. Carroll Brown
started the nightcap. but lasted only two
innings, Bush taking his place
