42,OOO FANS TO
 ROOT FOR CHANGE
Peerless Leader Sends Ray Keating Against White Sox
 Today

Chicago, May 17.-With fair wealth CT it was predicted that a record breaking crowd would be at the Amer ican League Baseball Park this after noon to witness the ceremonies of Frank Chance Day. There are seats for 1000 persons. The largest paid attendance in the history of baseball is 38,281 at the Polo Grounds at New York on the opening day of ~the Worlds Series in 1911. The rapidity with which the reserved seat sections were taken and the enthusiasm of To- cal baseball followers has led the management to believe that the great est crowd which ever saw a game will welcome Frank Chance, manager of the New York Americans and former leader of the Chicago Nationals, this afternoon. The pass gate has been In the official total of the attendance at games only paid admissions are counted.
 Responding to many requests Chance will play first base today giv- ing Hal Chase a rest. He has saved up his best pitching card, Ray Keat- ing "Reba Russell, another young ster, probably will twfrI for the White Sox. The game will be only one of the attractions which will occupy half the day and most of the evening. The program will open with a parade of automobiles from Grant Park to the South Side grounds. At the ball park the hour previous to the starting of the game will be devoted to vaude- vile. athletics and musical features. At 3 o'clock the rival managers will be presented with various tokens, and the game will start. Following the game there will be a dinner to Chance at the Stock Yards and members of both teams will be guests of g. down town theatre.

NEW HAVEN AND NEW LONDON
 BEST BETS IN EASTERN NOW
Mechanics in Slump This Week but New
 Players May Help

Sam Kennedy is still tinkering with his Waterbury club: He will have a winner before he gets through He expects that Kenneth Nash the old Brown star, will strengthen the third base position and his new boxrnen, Williams and Boardnlan have done well. Slowness on the paths and un- certainty in the box have been the teams weakness in previous games.
 Hartford has been going well. The Senators are a scrappy lot and with the addition of another strong f1inger will be up among the leaders. Powers and Geist have done well so far but the other pitchers haven't shown much. The Senators have two crack inf1e1ders in First Basernan Kelfher and. Short stop Morley.
 Pittsheld is constantly improving and now that Manager Teller has se- cured Pitcher AshenfeIter from Indian apo1is he expects to bother the best of them. Knapp, Evans and Barren kamp have been doing good work in the box for him. The signing of Eddie Bridges and Howie Baker, two former Mechanics also helped the E1ectrics.
 Springfield has taken a bad drop, due mainly to weakness in the hitting departm ent. On paper the Ponies have fine club but Manager Corri- don doesn't seem to be able to get them going right. One reason for the teams slump is the failure of Second Baseman Logan to do any hitting. supposed to be a c1outer.
 Ho1yoke plays in and out ball Pitcher Green returned to form and held New Haven to three hits, which was about the only encouraging sign for the Papermaakere. Magnate Wha- lens boys are due to land in last place unless some faster men are ob- tained.

IN MAJOR LEAGUES

In Henriksen, the Red sox have the best pinch hitter in the Ban Johnson organization, while Moose McCor- mick is the leader in the old league.
 When a player like Mccormick is carried simply because he can go up to bat in pinch and vvallop out a single every now and then he surely has a right to swell up with pride. Easy money.

 Allen Russell, brother of Lefty Russell has won five straight games for the. Wilmington Tri-staters.

 Hugh Bradley. sold last fall to the Jersey City club by the Boston Amer 1cans, IS out Of a. Job. Jersey City refuses to pay the price for him, so Bradley has been ordered to quit that club

PRESIDENT FIRES
 HIMSELF FROM HIS
 OWN BASEBALL CLUB

Grand Rapids, Mfch., May IT, Pitcher William B. Essick was re1eas- ed yesterday by the Grand Rapids Central League club of which he is the president and principal stockhold- CT. He was the only member of the pitching staff not yet in condition as it was necessary to reduce the num- Der of players to conform with the
 league limit, President Essick of the club drew up the release with all the customary details and passed it along to Pitcher Essick. Essick is a warm weather pitcher and says he probably will sign himself again in mid season.

After the happenings of the past week there is nothing to change the previous opinion that New Haven and New London have the best teams in the Eastern association at present. going right along winning two-thirds of their games while the other teams have been staggering in the rear.
 New London has three pitchers who are practically unbeatable. They are Rada,bough, Abercrombie and Rieger- Stark, who was secured from Detroit. doesn't seem to have the stuff and has been knocked out in the three games he has started. Crowley, the southpaw bought from Springfield, will be given a thorough trial. When 8 team has pitchers going like the Plan ter staff, 1t doesn't need much else to win.
 In New Haven it is the same case of good twirling. Hopper has already turned in two no hit games and Jen- sen is one of the best mound men in the circuit Thomas, Burch and Smith are also good servers. New Haven has a well balanced fnfeld and hard hitting outdeld- It will take a lot of hustling to beat them for the flag
 Bridgeport did not do so well last week. Including last Sundays game the boys won two out of five which is nothing to rave about. Additional strength in the pitchers box is needed also more hitting power in the out field. Jack Matthews, the new man secured from New Bedford, may sup ply the necessary basehits and it is understood that another pitcher will be here next week. The players are doing their best and should get out of their slump soon.

Tomorrow at the St. Joseph's Oval the Reningtop-Yo ' osts and the St. Jo- seph's meet in their first game of the season. This meeting of the two teams marks their first meeting since the St. Joseph's won the City League championship two seasons back.

The lows: Lavery, Til1erman, Gallagher, Darien, Yale, Cunningham, Fitzhenry, Coles, Jack Gallagher, Davis and Solen.
 Warner Bros. team showed true form last Saturday and should stay close to the top for the remainder of the season. The team has three of the best pitchers in the city in Tiller- man, White and Johnson, and has well-balanced inf1e1d.
 Christy will be seen in a Loco uni form after next Saturday and should add strength to the Loco's inf1eld. It
 might be added that the Black Rocks will feel the loss of Christy at short in their Sunday games as Christy is due to play with Stamford.

 statisticians of athletes at Princeton university have entered claim for J. M. Mann '76 aS the discoVsrer of the art of curve pitching. According to baseball lore available at Prince ton, Mann was the star pitcher of the college team known as the Nassau nine at that time During 4he fan of 1874 Mann pitched several games in one week and his peculiar delivery wore the skin from the tip Of Lis fingers. In the final contest of the week he was obliged to play third base. Late in the game he was forced to relieve the pitcher in order to save the game. Owing to the tender con dition of his fingers, Mann was ob- nged to throw the ball with little or no grip. He immediately noticed that his delivery was breaking in an odd manner, which caused opposing bat tens to strike out. During the win ter months he continued to experi- ment and the spring blossomed out ss a pitcher with real out curve at his command.
