Chance, the highly Wanted, has been
quite as complete a failure as a tacti-
clan and as a handler of men as was
his predecessor, WOlverton. What he

StalIings Makes a Hit.
Stallings has scored a success He
took the worst lot of material ever
assembled to represent a ball club, a
collection of supposedly worn out vet
Grams and not yet arrived cubs, and
made them into a unit. The team wins
games. It has advanced, where the
Cardinals. for example, with a much
better outlook, have refrigerated.
Stallings is in a way, duplicating the
success that enabled him to lift the
New York American League club from
seventh to second place, several years
ago.
Bad Start For Tinker.
Tinker, in net results is a failure,
but he will stick. Hank O'day made
lot of money for Cincinnati and had
the club going better, at the end of last
season, than Tinker now has. Tinker
may come, but so far he has shown
nothing except Feasibility and the
strong outward symptoms of a mar
