New York. June 15.-Patience and
perseverance, says the proverb, win ac-
complish all things If this be true,
Frank Chance may yet be able to build
up a team which will win few games
now and then. That his present posi-
tion as leader of a team of apparently
hopeless tailenders must be irksome to
a man who has never ended a season
outside the first division and generally
at the top or pretty close to it, but
Chance grits his teeth, experiments
with the material he has. keeps sharp
look out for what he needs and if he
is discouraged. doesn't show it.
The trading of Chase is an indication
of what lengths Chance will so to get
team to his liking.
Chase is a great ball player. No doubt
of that, but he was not as valuable TO
the Yankees as he Will be to some
other club. The hopelessness of the
team had bad effect on Chase who is
as temperamental as his fellow Califor-
MAN, Tillie Shafer. With a winning
team he will play much better game
of ball, and with his. promising young
players who are still capable of being
nodded, Chance can get better results.
] still believe that before the season
is over, Chance will have a team which
will win more games than it loses and
that next season he will begin to move
to the front.
AS the season advances, class begins
to tell in both leagues. The champion
Red Sox and the near champion Pitts
burgs are moving steadily up and the
weak scribes who have been prophesy-
ing that these teams would finish in the
ruck will have a chance to revise their
opinions.
The Giants. too, seem to be getting
into their stride since they so soundly
trounced the Phillies. Cleveland is
holding up the pace wonderfully we'll.
Altogether there Is every prospect of
smashing finishes in both leagues. Tho
Red Sox slump started the same old
cry that luck carried the club through
last season and that 1t never was a
championship team.

Any fine ball club might win pen
napt, but 1t takes nothing short of a
set OF heroes to win where they are
outclassed.
The number of games won and lost
this season by a single run difference is
conspicuously large compared to the
number played. In both the National
and American leagues this season more
than a third of the games played have
been of that sort. 1t is natural that the
stronger teams win a majority of their
games of this kind, but the prevalence
of such contests shows that the clubs
are called on to maintain hard lighting
pretty regularly and that the clubs give
one another harder battling day by day
than the differences in percentage
might indicate
1t Will be found in numerous in
stances that clubs percentage of one
run games won and lost corresponds
pretty well with its full percentage
The Giants are one. They have won
.465 per cent of their one run margin
contests, which is below their actual
percentage; but it, was during their big
prace against the Phillies that they
captured two Of the five victories they
have taken by the difference of one
run. So simultaneous with their brace
came better showing in close games.
The leaders in the two leagues have
won the biggest percentage of one run
battles (the expression is used through
out to mean games won or lost by a
single rum. The percentage of the
Phillies is .7Ss, Of the Athletics 700.
Furthermore the tailenders in each
league have the smallest percentage,
the New York Americans with 1913 and
the Cincinnati Reds with .25O.
The Brooklyns, Pirates, White Sox
and Detroits have run into the one
run grapples with the most frequency.

will probably suffice to unseat him if the

But there are dangers in the use Of
motor cars even. They must be private

a candidate may not accept the use Of one
