attack what he described as the tradi

that 1t could not do so unless their

FARRELL BUYS RELEASE OF
CHANCE FROM HERMANN

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.---Althougf he
will not sign a contract TO manage
the Highlanders until he meets Pres
ident Farrell in Chicago next Tues
day morning, Frank LIE Roy Chance
was formally released to the New
York rican league club yesterday.
When August Hermann, owner OF
the Cincinnati club, completed the
Tinker deal several weeks ago there
were two important angles, the trans
fer of Glance from the National to
the American league and the sale
Of Red Corridor by the Detroit club
to the Chicago Cubs upon Hsrrxnann's
payment OF $4,000 to Owner Frank
J. Navin, Of the Tigers. Hermann
previously had bought Chance from
the Cubs for the waiver price OF si,-
500. but In order TO turn the peerless
leader over to the Highlanders Herr
mann was compelled to ask for wal
vers all over again. All the National
league clubs acceded to Herrmann's
request and It was informally an
nounced by the Cincinnati mRgnate
several weeks ago that Chance then
was free. TO accept an offer from Pres
ident Farrell.
Before Farrell decided TO make an
offer, however. he asked Chance to
meet him In Chicago two weeks ago.
Chance at first agreed, then wired
that he wished TO remain in Cai,for-
mia until after New Years the attrac-
ton being the McCarty-Paizer fight.
Negotiations. therefore, ceased tenn

$500 to Hermann Immediately, as

deal Hermann meanwhile had sent
a check for $4,000 to the Detroit club
for ~orridon's release to the Cubs and
when he received Farrelrs check last
Saturday the owner OF the Reds
promptly teiegraphed Farrell that ne
could sign Chance at the earliest OPP
