Chance is due to reach Chicago from
California at 11:40 a. M, and Frank
Farrell, owner of the New York club,
is due at noon. 1t is probable they
will get together early in the after
noon. and many believe the papers will
be signed within an hour after the
two meet.
A number of Chances friends, head
ed by Charley Williams. secretary of
the Cubs, are going out to Joliet to
meet the California train and escort
the p. L. into town. Still others are
planning to be at the Polk street sta
ton to welcome the former west side
leader.
According to reports Chance will be
offered the biggest salary ever paid a
baseball manager. Although Owner
Farrell never has made public the
amount he will offer, it is understood
it is to be $4,000 per year with per
cent of the net profits added. The big
gest salary ever paid Chance by the
Chicago club in the seven years he was
manager was $4,000, and that was on
ly for the last three years. Chance won
four pennants and two worlds cham
pionships in seven years on the west
side, and then was released last fall by
President Murphy.

for the contests were set, but they will
be run between Nov. /, 1913, and Feb
%, 1914.
This announcement was made last
night by Harvey Granger, representa-
tive of the Savannah Automobile club.
who, with a committee of Ave other
sGeorgians conferred yesterday after
noon with the Motor Cups Holding
company. Granger said the committee
was cordially received by the contest
board and that both races were award

added there was no other applications

Granger said the Savannah course
would be shortened to about ten miles.

dents to spectators. According to
Granger, the course now is in such con-

Granger also stated that the Automo-

NOW CUB CATCHER
Former Leader of st. Louis
Cards Agrees to Terms
Offered by Murphy.

Roger Bresnahan is now a Cub. This
was announced officially yesterday aft
ernoon by President Murphy and Man
ager Evers of the west side club.
Evers arrived In the morning, and
after completing plans for the spring
training trip of the Cubs he and Pres
ident Murphy called up st. Louis and
had Roger Bresnahan PACED. The for
mer manager of the Cardinals soon re-
sponded and announced that he had
come to a settlement with the st. Louis
club. had the money in the bank, and
was ready to accept the terms recently
offered him by the Chicago club.
What these terms were was not CIV
out for publication. but President
Murphy wished 1t said that he had out

owner. who paid s22,500 for Marty
OToole, the largest sum ever paid for q

That doesn't mean that Murphy paid
more than that to get Roger. 1t means
that he offered Roger more money than
did Dreyfuss, and also more than Herr
mann of Cincinnati. 1t was only an
other case of money talking.

quarters between training and greeting
host of newly made friends who took
advantage of the holiday to see the
Mexican in action. Rivers went through
the daily stunt of rope jumping, punch
ing bag and when everything was
cleared off the decks started in four
round melee with Packey Hommey.
Packey is not one of our greatest
battlers as far as science goes. He Is
there with the wallop and delights in
getting slammed. For twelve minutes
the pair of lightweights buffeted one
another around with neither overlook
ing an opportunity to slam. The visi-
tor showed UP to great advantage. He
worked faster than ever, showing that
miserable weather did not bother him
so that you would notice 1t. His wal
lops were straight and plenty and
most of them hit the mark.
