CHANCE SATISFIED
WITH CHASE TRADE
Does Not Want First Baseman
Back, But Is After Zeider's
Salary and Expenses.

CLEVELAND. July 1s.-"There's no
chance in the world for us to ask that
the trade by which we gave Hal Chase
for Zeider and -Borton be Cancelled" de-
clared Frank Chance, manager Of the
New York American League club,
Thursday.
I'VE don't want the deal Cancelled, but
we are asking that the Chicago club be
required to pay the salary of Zeider and
to pay his doctor bills until such time
as he is able to play.
Our grounds for this demand is that
Manager Callahan. Of the Chicago club,
assured me personally that Zeider was
In perfect condition. I told him that
Chase was still favoring a bad ankle
but he answered both Borton and
Zeider We're fit as a fiddle. Borton did
report all right, but / never counted
him at all. Zeider came to me with
running sore from an injury received
while with the Chicago club and he's
never been right since. and Is now in
ST. Louis hospital. where he underwent
second operation.
TIE never yet "bcefed" about trade
and I've never found II necessary to
lie about the condition of a player
wanted to trade. We're perfectly salts
fed with this deal. I wouldn't give
Zeider when right for three Chases-I
think he's a better man than Chase at
more valuable to the New York club
than Hal Chase would be today"
In Detroit Thursday President johnson
of the American League, was quoted
as saying that he will decide the New
Yorks complaint personally.

Public Now Believes
Pennant Race Over

That bane of the baseball magnates,
the runaway champion. is apparently
with US this year. and in both major
leagues. According to Secretary John
B. Foster, of the New York Giants, the
public Is asking for reservations now for
worlds series seats at the Polo
Grounds, New York, and at Shibe Park,
Philadelphia.
This means. OF course, that around
stop the Giants and Athletics in their
respective races. II likewise means
that the latter half of the baseball year
will be a poor one for the box Office,
for at least eight of sixteen clubs.
Another indication that the public
thinks the league races all over is that
world series betting, on the basis that
these two clubs will win, has already
begun. Most of the speculation offered
IS on the Athletics to win the world s
title.
Considering that the halfway point
in the baseball race has not yet been
reached this long-range shooting at
winners is precarious- II was later
than this in the season, a few years
ago, that the Athletics, when leading
the league race with a percentage OF
so or thereabouts, suddenly caved
and dropped down TO fourth place.
Speculation on baseball issues is
degree worse folly than trying TO beat
the market from the outside. One
has only to look at the league stand
ings to realize that form, in at ~ st
half the clubs of the two leagues, has

ST. LOUIS, July B.-The long lane
with a continuous straight journey and
without turn at some point does not
exist, especially in baseball The past
time sport probably furnishes more ups
and down, q winner today and loser
tomorrow, than any other profession.
At present baseball is proving this.
and the best examples are j. Garland
Stahl and Frank Chance with quite a
few other individuals included in the
list. Connie Mack and Clark Griffith.
In our midst at present, can be added
without making a mistake.
year ago today the Boston Red
Sox were furnishing the sensation in
the American League, with Griffith
right next in line. The Red SoX had
in front of the pennant race and re-
naming there right to the finish.
Then came the climax-the victory for
the Red Sox in the worlds Champion
ship series and Jake Stahl was voted
the greatest citizen in and around Bos-
ton. He was honored with banquets
and messages of congratulations.
Stahrs End Came Tuesday.
But the turn came Tuesday when this
game Stahl has dropped as manager
of the team that was regarded as being
supreme in baseball only ten months
previous. In the East 1t had been pre-
dicted that something was going to
happen in the ranks of the Red Sox
shortly, with the something the dis
rrlissal of Stahl as manager. When
here last week. though. Stahl denied
there was any trouble in camp. lie
added that he and President McAleer
were on the best Of terms.
So now +. Leroy Chance. hailed as
the Peerless Leader when commanding
four pennant winners, can laugh up
his sleeve and know that some one else
has traveIsd in the path that he did
last fall.
Chance. maker of four pennant win
ners and two worlds champions,
couldn't get along with President Muir
ply last summer. The result was that
the boss of the Cubs announced that
Chance was released. Then came big
change, with Joe Tinker and many 9th
eTs being let out and Johnny Evers
eventually stepping into Chances place.
No longer is Chance hailed as the
Peerless Leader When directing the
Cubs in all the National League battles
Chance was "a central figure. He was
this and that. but always the peer In
his circle. What a change, though: ST
Louis fantom saw Chi ace for four days

misfit aggregation which is certain 10

PIRATE COMEBACK %
PUZZLES EXPERTS
Team Is Not as Strong as 1t
Was at the Start of the
Season.

BROOKLYN, ". Y, July lS.-Eastern
h0seball experts are marveling at the
comeback" of the Pirates, and there
are many who have given their views
on why the team is playing such sensa-
tional baseball Almost to a man, these
critics agree that the Pittsburgh team,
on form. Is not As strong now as the
club which started out the 1913 season.
The great work Of the pitchers recent
ly has been the main subject discussed.
That Camnitz, Adams. Hendrix. and the
balance should all come through with
a winning streak 10 not considered a
coincidence. These men say themselves
they are not in any better physical con-
dition now than six weeks ago.
The opinion is that the Pirates want
ed to show up somebody, and II was not
hard TO guess who that. somebody"
was, as the inside affairs OF the team
between the club as whole and indi-
vidually, and their connection with Bar
ney Dreyfuss. was not pleasant and
jovial. to say the least Now the fei-
lows have won recognition, and ara
plugging and plugging hard.
II the Pittsburg team, say these East
ern critics. had worked as hard all the
season as they are now. the same team
work would have been shown, and he
fighting spirit carried through. the race
FOR the nag would be ended now with
the Corsairs away out in front. There
was some discussion about Wagners
absence weakening the team. Now II
has been proven the boys can win with
out Wagner being in the lineup.
Wagner Is all right TO carry as
pinch hitter now. but that young talent
injected into the team Is going good
The dopesters who nguered Clarke the
pennant winner, before the season
started, were not far wrong on their
form stun, but no one could tell that
the president CT a club would step in
and give his own team such a terrible
handicap to overcome.
II is not a reversal Of form or the
breaking UP CT the hard luck stun that
has sent the Pirates ahead on this win
ming streah. but IL is the desire to win
as. again we say. the team 10 not as
strong now as when the season was

MOTORISTS GO SLOW
UPON DESERT TRAILS
Seventy-Nine Miles Was Best
Indiana Tourists Could
Make Yesterday. .
BY HARRY WARD.

A run Of seventy-nine miles through
the desert from Thompson to Price.
Utah, was the best the members of the
Indiana automobile manufacturers
tour to the Pacific Coast could do yes
terday, according to ativices received
by Harry Cunningham. the Marion
agent ~ ."r
The roads were hardly more than a
trail. as on the preceding day. and were
so rough that slow time was absolutely
necessary. The cars which were held
up at Thompson, Utah, Wednesday
night by the flooded conditions OF the
arroyos, got an early start yesterday,
and at 8 o'clock the entire party left
Green. Utah, for Price Every car
which started on the trip. except one
of the trucks, reached Price. the night
stopping point. The truck was lield
up in the mountains to remove the top,
so that IL could get through the noun
tain passes. The three-day's stay OF
the tourists in Salt Lake, which point
they will reach tonight. is expected to
give the truck time to meet the main
party and continue with II to the coast.
A little rivalry exists through the
country. as to which roads will be the
best for the tourists to travel. Citizens
from various towns not on the route
are meeting the tourists daily and are
arguing that their highways are the
best. The tour. however. will follow
the route laid out at the beginning.
Today's run to Salt Lake Is Us miles.
and while the going Is hard, the tourists
expect to complete the run before

A big fish fry and barbecue was being given by Milliken, who had taken George Jacobis into part nership in the refreshment stand. It is said that Jacobis was drinking and raised a quarrel over the way the grounds were arranged. Hot words were passed and Jacobis plunged a long knife into Milliken's left side three times, one piercing the lung. Medical aid was summoned and it is said there is no chance for his recov- cry. Jacobis is still at large. Milli- ken is only twenty-five years old and has the name of being troublesome character.
