Will Frank Chance make good as
leader of the New York Yankees? is
a query that has been propounded
many time and oft since the peer
less leader" put his signature to a New
York contract the first of the month.
Columns and pages of newspaper
space have been used up in one con-
tinuous discussion of the problem.

enc Of the 1913 season, but no one
see ms willing to wait that long. Hence
the experts have been called in.
Jimmy Callahan of the Chicago
v hite Sox declares that Chance will
sure make good; no doubt about it,
Joe Tinker is equally certain of the
same thing. Fielder Jones, president
OF the Northwestern league. however,
who is just as good at prophecy as
any man in the game, insists that
Chance will be failure.
Joe Tinker says Chance could take
a bunch of nine school boys and make
a showing in either major league. II

bunch that now makes up the New
York American league club.
The Yankees have three or four
strong men. There's a couple of fair
pitchers. One of them is Ford, and
he ranked at the tail end of the pitch
iLg list in 1912. Cree is a good out
fielder and Hal Chase is a first rate
first sacker.
Aside from these men. the Yankees
aren't much. How different it was
with the Cub machine, which Chance

Ruelbach and Pfster in the box;
King and Archer catching; Hoffman,
Schultz and Sheckard in the outfield
That was a combination with which
any leader of ordinary ability might
have been successful.
Chance is a great man. He's worth
the big salary that he draws, for he'll
be a big drawing card for the Yam
KEGS. But it's an open question still
whether he'll be the big blaze in New
York that his most ardent admirers
predict he will be.
