To make the most of our opportunity
we must follow in the footsteps of sue

become thoroughly acquainted with the
people with whom we expect to do our
business. The forming OF such acquaint-

out with emphasis.

Chance released Holden to Jack Dunn recently, and after Bill gets his household effects together he will be off to join his new club. No other players, Chance said. were involved in Holden's transfer.
 Holden came to the Yankees from the New London club of the Eastern association, where he made a reputa- don as a hitter. When he first started ~out Holden looked pretty good, but this year he did very little to warrant his retention in the big league. As a hitter he proved to be of the in and out sort.
