NEW YORK. January ~ - Frank lie
Roy Chance. the new manager of the
New York Americans. telegraphed Pres
ident Farrell Yesterday that he would ar
rive here on the morning of Monday. Feb
urary TO- to take charge OF affairs prior
to the training tripeof the players to Ber-
muda March L. Glance wired from Glen
dora. Cal. that he had made arrange
ments to leave Los Angeles on the Santa
te limited for Chicago Thursday. Feb
ruary e. He expects to arrive in the
Windy city at IL o'clock Sunday morning.
February 9. and Will take the twentieth
century limited that afternoon for this
city. making the long trip across the
continent in exactly four DAYS
Chance does not care about stopping
over in Chicago this time He wants TO
get into harness as soon as possible. and
also is anxious to attend the schedule
meeting Of the American League i'm this
city February II, when. maybe, he will
be able TO make several deals for star
players. The new manager has been
advised that contracts have been sent to
all the men and that a dozen of them al
ready have been signed While he has
nothlng TO do with securing signatures
chance desires the presence of all players
on the clubs list when the party boards

camp.
1t is understood that the new manager

and then hold me responsible That is
all | ask.
Chance began his base ball career at
Washington University in 1894 Four
years later he was recommended to the
late Frank q. Selee. then manager of the
Cubs. who signed him to a Chicago Ma
tlnstl League club contract. Chance was
"A catcher i'll those days. but Selee soon
discovered that he could play first base
position in which he has made a sterling
record.
When Selee was compelled to give up
the management because of i'll health
Chance assumed control! That was in
1905. Under his leadership the Cubs won
four National League pennants and two
worlds SERIES, They never finished lower
than third.
AS player Chance made his best rec
ord in 1902. In 12:' games he had bat
ting average of 1927 and a fielding aver
age of .912. In the course of time the
Peerless Leader. as he was nicknamed
by Chicago fans received many injuries
from pitched balls. He was struck on
the head repeatedly. and two years ago
he ne nv he
championship game. Severe headaches
produced a sort of nervous breakdown.
which compelled Chance to rest period
ically last season. He was operated on
last fall, however. aand instantly began
to regain his former health and strength.

BENDER AND PLANK
HAVE NOT SIGNED
Chief Is in South-Eddie on
Gettysburg Farm-Mack
Not Worried.

PHILADELPHIA. January 29.-Two
veteran pitchers of the Mack corps
Charles Albert Bender and Edward
Plank-are the only players BELONGING
to the Athletics who have failed to
affiX their signatures to contracts for
the 1913 season. Bender is in Atlanta
Ga, and will undoubtedly sign his con-
tract when he returns. Plank is on his
Gettysburg farm and it may be that he
has not gone to town recently and the
inkwell is dry.
Bender has been away from PhiladeI-
phia since the base ball season closed.
He went to Cuba with John Shibe' s
team. Upon his return he spent "a month
in Montgomery, Ala. and then went to
Atlanta where he has been hunting.
playing golf and driving his auto. In
a letter to friend in this city Chief
said he would return soon and he will
then visit Manager Mack.
Plank limited that he might retire
after the 1912 season. However, he dis
likes letter writing almost as much as
is confident that the contract of his
star southpaw will arrive before Feb
ruary "a, when the Athletics start for
San Antonio. Plank finished second
among the American League pitchers
last season, with tWenty-SiX games
won and six lost. 1t is hardly likely
that he would quit after making such
grand record.
Rapid progress is being made upon
the improvements at Shibe Park. Both
of the old bleachers in right field and
left field are now under cover.
The benches have been torn out and
holes are now being drilled into the
cement for the opera chairs which will

The rumor still keeps going that Pat

fall To this rumOr persistent denial has
been made at Georgetown. 1t was stated
again this morning on the Hilltop that
nothing relative to the coaching policy
had been definitely decided. but the
chances were that Dyer would not be

LONDON, January 29.-Harry Lewis.
an American pugilist, has entered suit in
the civil courts against the London Gen
eral Omnibus Companies. He claims
heavy damages for alleged injuries re-
ceived in an automobile collision in Fleet

riously injured as the result Of the negli-
gence of the defendants and that his in
jurieS resulted in the loss of several very
remunerative ring engagements. He
claims that the accident prevented him
from appearing in New York in ten
round bout against Mike Gibbons, the st.
Paul phantom.
Lewis claims that he is the weller
weight champion of the world and that.
therefore. his services for several ring
engagements in New York would have
