American League Teams Aided Chance Deal
Cooperate Strengthen StronghOd-GOssp
About Big League Players.
By DAMON RUNYON.


TEW YORK. n Y, Jan. IA
M 1t has been apparent for some
- time that the whole Chance
deal was carefully planned. well or
gained scheme in which the whole
American league is concerned to lift
from the rut the only town in the
Johnson circuit where the doddering
old National still has the edge, in point
Of patronage, at least, over its younger
rival Johnson himself undoubtedly
conceived and engineered the arrange
ment, with Frank Farrell, of course,
consenting.
1t is a perfectly legitimate PROPOSE
ton at that-a union of interests to
help weaker brother so that all may
profit by his strength.
We say-speaking out of cur turn
and all that-we don't believe Ban
johnson would have mulcted one Of
his clubs OF player, who cost it $4,000
to hand him over to Charley Murphy
and Garry Herman, for the bare privi-
lege of negotiating with Chance with
out knowing beforehand what Chance
intended to do.
We grant you that Chance is well
liked in orange groves, and things and
that he doesn't have to play ball for a
living, but We don't believe he went
to Chicago with anv other idea than CT.

As for Chances salary-that's wholly
immaterial 1t so happens that we
don't choose to believe that he isNset-

and more, too, if he makes a winner
Of the Yanks. Certainly a man who
takes a Door attraction and makes a
fortune for the owner is entitled to a
good big division of the profits Still
as a matter of mere personal opinion,
we don't believe any club owner In the
business could or would, stand a tap
like $4,000 and a percentage on a
manager.
If Chance himself makes the state
ment that he is getting that much
money, We will have to view it in the

Texas Weather Is Best For Athletes

weather that Texas affords, and the
sudden changes that it claims, is bet
ter than the assured article that Ser
muda furnishes.
There is a tang, a snap to TeNas
days that puts fire and ginger into the
athletes. There athletic blood boils
and is hungry for all that is coming.
In Bermuda and in Florida, too, the
change from a northern climate pro-
notes a certain lassitude that is detri-
mental to vigorous exercise such as d
training trip requires
Manager McGraw, while in Texas,
expects few bad days that are IN
suitable for work But. believe ne,
a day of rest is a gOdsend for players
when in training. MCGraW does not
believe in them, but I have been
through many OF them, and my expert
ence has been that one day of rest
is better than two OF such strenuous
work as McGraw insists on. But / am
willing to go on record that every
ball player who has ever trained under
ACcGraw Will bear me out in the state
In Bermuda, as understand. one
day follows another with absolute
beauty. There is nothing TO 90 while
there for the ball players but get out
on the perfect cricket field and play
ball
Under those conditions I am Of the
opinion that the Yankee players viii
get so much work that they will get
too much. And mental stagnatiOn IS
much worse than athletic staleness.
If the Yankee pitchers are sent over
to Bermuda by February Is. think the
management viii make q mistake Too
much good weather will be their han
dicap.
In Texas the weather Is more ike
the northern dispensatiOn- One must
set out and work to get warm And
then athletic exercise becomes q pleas
ure rather than a task.
And when base players are made to
think they are playing instead OF
working, half the training battle IS
wOn-and possibly a peEnant, too.

i in Bermuda are altogether diff
ferent propositions.
The Yankees are expected to get into
condition IN Bermuda, while the Giants
will go to their established camp IN
Marlin, Tex.
Il Bermuda good weather for train
ing purposes is assured by all reports
that business manager Arthur Irwin,
who has just returned from there,
brings back, and also from the record
of the Jersey City's team that spent
two weeks down on the island and did
not miss a day last year
In the south, last spring, the expert
ences of all the big league clubs were
something horrible. Rain in the Allan
tic coast cities practically stopped all
training In Texas the Giants and
Athletics, who trained in the Lone
Star state, had their troubles, and lots
of them, but nevertheless the Giants
managed to get in enough good days
to enable them to come back in the
better condition to start the champion
ship season than any other team
1t was the Giants superior form, in
fact, at the start, that enabled them to
win the National league pennant
The Yankees will train in Bermuda,
if Twins boom of the tight little
island goes through. The Giants will
do their preliminary work in Marlin.
Now, 1 am willing to make little
bet that the Giants will come back in

that, to my mind, is not a question Of

judgment, and solely so, on the weather
conditions that both teams will ex-
DerienCe.
In Bermuda, the weather will be too
fine. In Texas it will be prOblematical.
In Marlin there is no native who daFes,
or rather has the nerve to, predict what
the next day, will produce in the
weather line
Sudden Changes at Marlin.
