SPORTS AND SUCH

BY RIGHT CROSS I

NEW YORK, JUNE 5.-THE
loyal public of this city has bid
farewell to Hal Chase, the great
est living monument to the futility
of ability without a balance wheel.
Chase Is one of the greatest
natural ball players that ever lived.
II he could have gone into trance
at 8 o'clock every evening and
remained unconscious until 3 the
next afternoon he would still be one
of the most valuable players in the
big leagues, instead of being offered
about the circuit for weeks, and no
bidders.
He was ruined by too much lis
tening to the constant chorus of,
What a wonder you are.' He
acquired a taste for that sort of
music and this inevitably led to
fatty degeneration OF the bump of
self-esteem, a disease which de-
velops Just before a ball player gets
the gate.
He was only kid when he came
TO the Yankees, and before the end
OF the season he was the idol Of
the league. There were num-
Der OF hangers-on about the
Yankee camp whose chief mission
in life was to tell Frank Farrell
how TO tell his manager how TO
run the team They talked to
Chase and convinced him that be-
cause he was a good oarsman he
qualified TO command a full-rigged
ship. Immediately his usefulness
to this or any other team came to
an end The same crowd per-
suaded Mr.. Farrell to make him
manager and he ruined a team
that had come within a few games
OF winning the pennant.
REDUCED TO THE RANKS HE
ignored the example OF other great
ball players-Lajoie, for instance
who have failed as managers and
by earnest. steady ball playing kept
their place in the general esteem.
Instead he sulked He has jumped
the club once. II he couldn't have
his pet toy he wouldn't play. This
is the reason that he was not even
valuable trading property. Nobody
wanted him. A big baseball man
told the writer this spring that he
did not believe a single magnate
in either league would have Chase
as a gift.

FEDERATION is
VICTORIOUS IN
COURT ORDER

Calumet. Mich, Sept 29,-Circuit
Court Judge OBrien today dissolved
the temporary injunction issued by
him a week ago prohibiting picketing
and paradng by the strikers during
the time men were going to or con-
ing from work in the mines. The de-
cison gave notable victory to the
Western Federation of Miners. This
afternoon. Judge O'Brien was to hear
arguments on motion by attorneys
for the operators for a restraining or
der prohibiting intimation and vio'
lence.
In dissolving the temporary injunc-
ton, Judge OBrien said that he con
sidered the injunction too broad and
sweeping He held that the rights oil
the defendants are important and
should not be interfered with with
out public hearing,
Judge OBrien declared he stands
ready to protect the rights of persons
who went to work, but at the same
time he felt the strikers have a little
right to organize and to make an ef
fort to persuade others peacable to re-
frain from working for the purpose
iof strengthening the position of the
strikers.
The court said he was inclined tC
issue restraining order covering only
violence and intimidation, but that he
did not think it should cover picket
ing. which was dabatable ground. Ar
guments will be heard on this point.

farmer of McComb. McDonough coun-
ty, who married her last spring with

about $4OO. She was lured to the spot
by man, descriptions of whom vary
greatly from tall and slender to short
and stocky. Her friends understand
that she was on her way to Wheaton

with one Spencer known from the
manner of his speech as the man
with the drawl.' When she left home
she carried a rattan suitcase. Neither
the suitcase nor the pistol with which
the murder was committed have been
found. Allison. before the inquest be
gan today, was taken in to the room
where lay the mutilated remains oil
