There Is no stipulation in the contract

manager must take an active part in the
game, but he has given the magnate his
assurance that IL he is able to play he

Chase out of his job. The present initial
sacker is scheduled to cover second.
Chance is determined to come back. 1t

petent to play the position he was
three or four years ago. II he once

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 11.-Presideht
Frank j. Farrell of the Highlanders got
back to town last night from Chicago
where he went to sign Frank Chance to
manage the Hilltop team. To say that
Farrell was elated at having signed ur
the Peerless Leader is putting it mildly
After reading fully twenty-five letters
and kilograms from fans congratulating
him on his move, Farrell gave out the
following statement:
In securing Frank Chance my ambi-
ton has been realized. / am confident
that the completion of the big deal is
approved by the New York base ball
fans, who deserve the best our American
League club can give. Chance has signed
for three years, but the terms will not
be disclosed for business reasons. That
is matter that concerns only Chance
and the New York club. 1t is sufficient
to say that | went to Chicago to sign
Chance and not to disappoint the metro
politan base ball public. In the negotia-
tons Chance made no attempt to hold ME
up. The terms agreed upon were mu-
tually satisfactory and Chance already is
enthusiastic over the prospects.
He thinks he has some excellent ma
terial, and L intend to assist him in every
way to develop a 1irSt-claSs ball team.
am frank to say that New York is the
only city that could have induced Chance
to return to the game. He wanted to
come here to prove that he could hold his
own with the Other American League
managers.
He also realizes that he has worthy
rival i'm John McGraw of the Giants,
who is an old friend, and before he left
me yesterday in Chicago he said he knew
that he was about to undertake a diff
cult task to cope with the Giants in point
of skill and popularity.
Chance is in splendid health. He has
gained twenty pounds since last season
and says he is ready to make an agrees
sive campaign. He will be here on or
about February 10 to attend the Ameri-
can League meeting, when he may COM
plete several deals he has under con-
si6eration. On the whole he seems to be
satisfied with the players already in hand
and is anxious to inspect them at Ber-
muda before he decides upon radical
changes, if such changes are necessary.
Chance does not claim that he will win
the pennant this year, but he does be-
lieve that he will give New York a ball
club worthy of the name

TALES OF THE DIAMOND
Humorous and Otherwise.
BY Billy Evans.

''The funniest communication 1 ever
received from fam, said Matty. was
written me several years ago 1t was
from 'rube' on a small town team, who
sought advice from me as to how he
should pitch to a certain hard hitter on
d rival team from a nearby village. He
said he had read in the newspapers that
/ made a study of all opposing hitters
and made them swing at something they
didn't like. He sought Information as to
what would be most difficult for the slug
the biggest hit with me was the dope
he handed me to work out the PROPOSE
ton for him. He gave me the weight
height and age of the rival hard hitter
lovely foundation to work on. / at
once surmised the writer must be a sure
enough bug. and i paid no further atten-
ton to the letter
1T seemed the first name of the rival
hard hitter was Hank for just ten
days after receiving the first missive
received another letter roasting the very
tar out of me. 1t appears Hank came
up in the pinch with three on and two
out and hit for a home run, winning the
game. The 'rube' pitcher placed the en-
tire blame on me for his defeat because
l failed to answer his letter and tell him
what would fool Hank. Can you beat
that one" concluded Mathewson. The
players present We're forced to admit
that Matty's tale deserved first prize.

LAJOIE MAY BE TRADED;
RUMOR WILL NOT DOWN
Reports Have 1t Deal May Be Consummated
Whereby Great Player Will Be Sent
to Chicago or New York.

Nap owner may still feel that way to-
ward Lajoie. but matters may have
arisen which would make it agreeable to
all concerned to send the king to some
other club. Lajoie is very popular in
New York and would prove a great draw
ing card in the metropolis. Then, too,
what makes it seem more probable that
he would go to New York than any
where else is the fact that the Yankees
are going to be strengthened. American
League magnates realize that to cope
with the Giants the Yankees must be
bolstered, and it is believed that the Sc
curing of Chance as manager is but a
part of the immediate steps that will be
taken to give the American League team
of Gotham winning ball club.
Should the deal go through that Math-
ewson predicts Cleveland might not be a
loser. Lajoie and Turner are good ball
players. but they are on the wane. La
5oie is not the stalwart infielder he was
some years ago; does not show the speed
on the paths, either. AS a batter though
he probably will be able to sting the ball
when he is eighty. Turner is a good ball
player, who has many good traits
Lord and Zeider would be valuable ad-
dltlons to the Nap roster for several rea-
sons. They are very fast men and with
their speed combined with that Of Chap
man and Johnston, the Maps could boast
or the speediest fnfield in the business.
Lord would play third and Zeider second
and they would bring terror to many
catchers and to many sets of infielders.

WILL SEND RELAY
TO BOSTON GAMES
Georgetown Four Will Race
Holy Cross in Meet to Be
Held in That City.

Manager Darr of the Georgetown track
team officially announced last evening
that he would send a relay team to the
Boston Athletic Association meet which
is to be held at Mechanics Hall, Feb
ruary 8. For some time the Georgetown
manager has been contemplating sending
a team to Boston to meet Holy Cross.
but not until yesterday was it definitely
decided that the Blue and Gray would
be represented at this big annual meet.
Manager Darr also stated that George
town would not run in a three-cornered
relay race with Holy Cross and Ford
ham at Boston. The manager has been
asked to bring his team to Boston for
that purpose, but declined, simply because
he has already arranged to participate
in the threecornered relay race at the
Fordham meet, which is to be held in
New York January %. This race will
settle all dispute relative to the cham
pionship in the Catholic colleges of the
east. 1t is claimed by people who have
seen both the Holy Cross and Fordham
teams in action that Georgetown has a
good chance to win the race. Anyway
such an event will surely be watched
with much enthusiasm.

Star ball players like Mathewson, Cobb,
Lajoie, Wood, Speaker and the other
major league celebrities are the recipient
of much hero worship. In the eyes OF
many these stars of the diamond are
greater than the leading statesmen-yes
than even the President of the good old
United States. For six months of the
year the shining lights of the diamond
are continually in the publics eye. II
is really remarkable the many funny sit
uationsSthe crack players bump into dur
ing the summer.
During the recent worlds series be-
tween the Giants and the Red Soy a
number of the leading players who were
attending the series INDUCED in fan
ming bee in the lobby of Boston hotel
Among the celebrities present was
Christy Mathewson, the wonderful pitch
er of the New York Giants. A number
of the players had related some of the
peculiar incidents they had taken part
in when the conversation shifted to the
letter-writing fans. There is scarcely a
player in the ma ors, who doesn't get a
bunch of mail during the summer, ask
ing information on certain points, giving
advice as to how he may improve his
batting, warning him that he had better
cut out the bright lights or praising his
good deeds

FOR HITCHCOCK OR STORER.
Harvard Foot Ball Team Boosts Both
for Next Captain.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. January IL
Early next week the Harvard foot ball
players who participated in the Yale
game last year will meet to elect the
captain for next season. Percy Wendell.
last seasons leader. has been instructed
to hurry the election. There are twenty
men eligible to vote and at present there
is a close race between Rex Hitchcock
and Bob Storer, the varsity tackles. Both
have played on the varsity rush line for
two seasons. 1t is realized that the play
ers are evenly divided on the question
and for this reason it has been suggested
that some compromise candidate may be
considered
Frank O'Brien, the end rush. and Tudor
Gardiner, who played tackle until he was
hurt in the Princeton game two years
ago, have been spoken of as possible
candidates, but most of the men who
will do the voting say that either Hitch
cock or Storer will surely be the man.
Hitchcock coached last falls freshman

Brooklanders Booked to Appear in

Tonight at s o'clock, at the National
Guard Armory, the Catholic University
basket ball team will have as its OPP
ponents the ST. Johns quint of Annapolis.
Last night Coach Rice sent his men
through one of the hardest workouts of
the year, as he is expecting a hard bat
tie. ST. Johns always puts out good
team, and team that is kept in the best
physical condition possible, and any five
1t goes up against can expect to have it's
hands full.
Since the opening of the university
after the holidays the men have been
hard al work preparing for this game, as
they are particularly anxious to get
away with il. During the workouts the
men have been showing great form and
accuracy in shooting baskets.

Just Government League.

The last regular monthly meeting of
the Just Government League of Montgom-
cry county was held in Waters Hall, at
Germantown, on the evening of Friday,
May 8, 1918. The meeting was one of the
largest and most enthusiastic held for some
time and the interest in the work babe
well for the ultimate success of the cause.
Owing to the early arrival of the audience
and the late arrival Of the speakers, and
the fact that they had to return on the
evening train. the business meeting had
to be dispensed with.
Mr.. J. G. Mythen. of Baltimore, the first
speaker Of the evening, delivered most
interesting and instructive address. which
was very much enjoyed and appreciated.
Mrs. Vim. Kent. of California, followed
Mr.. Mythen with talk of equal interest
and which was very convincing and placed
before the audience facts that could not
be denied.
The next address was delivered by Mrs.
L. II. Engle. of Forest Glen, and it is I'M
necessary to say that those present were
highly appreciative of her talk. which is
always the case when she speaks.
The speakers of the evening were intro
duced by Rev. F. B. Cowel. of Cedar Grove.
II anyone has the idea that the people
of Germantown and vicinity are asleep.
they have only to pay a short visit to
that most delightful little place to find
out that they have been laboring under
very serious mistake, as they are wide
awake and keeping abreast with the times
in a most progressive manner, and the
Just Government League of Montgomery
county wishes to express its sincere thanks
for the courtesy extended to them by the
large and highly appreciative and atten-
