During the most severe thunder
storm of the year at Bethlehem, Pa,

crashes of thunder, brightest flashes
of lightning and the biggest hail
coming while the sun shone.

MYERS SIGNS UP
 FOR THREE YEARS
 WITH N. Y. GIANTS


 Boston April 30.-Chief Meyers, the Giants first catcher, yesterday after noon signed a three-year contract to play with the New York club That period includes this year. which his previous two-year contract called for Meyers was the last of the Giant regulars to aff1x his signature to the longtime document.
 The Chief. being under contract for this year Federal league agents kept their hands off him, " even Manager Stovall, of the Kansas City Feds, who was one of the most as- siduous searchers after National and American league talent, when he was in San Diego, Cal, and induced Ar thur wilson to sign. only had one in- terview with Meyers. being informed then by the Chief that he was not at liberty to negotiate.
 While no salary figures were given out by either President Hempstead or Meyers, it is common talk among the players that the Indian catcher will receive a. substantial increase. It is known that he thought lie deserved 8 big raise. and the broad smile with which he announced that he had signed was sufficient evidence that he was perfectly satisfled with the terms the new contract calls for.
 The Giants, with all their regulars in line for the next three years, put the New York Nationals on easy street, even if the war between or ganized baseball and the Federal league is protracted.

KANSAS CITY WAS ONCE ON
 NATIONAL LEAGUE CIRCUIT

Kansas City is not much older than the game of baseball, but it has all ways been one of the Hvest baseball towns on the map, and the magnates of the Federal League probably made no mistake in selecting the metropolis at the mouth of the Raw as one of the cities of the circuit. The younger fans probably have no recollection of Kan sas City as a, big league town, but as a matter of fact it. has had clubs in both of the present big leagues of or ganized ball. Twenty-eight years ago today, April 30, 1S86, the Kay See fans saw their first National League game, and it was jin-dandy that took thirteen innings to decide. The Cowboys, as the Kansas City club was known, were defeated by Chicago to 5, John Clarkson pitching against Stump Weidman. a Kansas City did not long remain the western outpost of

FRANK CHANGE CEIE
 BRATES TO-DAY 16TH AM
 NIvERSARY OF HIS DEBUT

Frank Leroy Chance, debutted into big league baseball sixteen years ago today, April 29, 1898, making his appearance as a catcher in the span gles of the Chicago Nationals. The Peerless Leader was born in Fresno
 the metropolis of the Ca1ifornia raisin
 belt, in 1873. and had played only col 1ege and independent ball before he fore he was given the opportunity to sign a, Chicago contract
 In those ca1Iow days Chance con sidered himself a catcher, and he serv- ed as backstop in twenty-seven games and as outfelder in fifteen contests during his first season with Hart's s club. He caught Griffith in his first game on the main circuit. Chance continued behind the bat in 1899 and 1900, and swatted 1904 the latter year. In 1901 he played in the outergar- l den, and it was not until 1902 that
 he was given a chance to cover first base, the position in which he gained his greatest fame as a player. His record as a first baseman has seldom
 been equalled, and alone entities Chance to permanent place in the
 baseball hall of fame. Chance owed | his start toward managerial fame and perquisites to his popularity with his
 teammates.
 When Bobby Lowe retired as cap tain of the team in 1905, Manager
 Selee and President Hart decided to
 permit the players to choose a. suc-
 cessor. Chance was considered a dark
 horse in the exciting campaign that followed, but when the votes were
 counted it was found that Chance led 1 with eleven votes, while Jimmy Casey. the favorite in the race, got only four
 ballots and Johnny King only two.
 A little later the Chicago club was
 purchased by Charles W. Murphy, Frank Selee retired as manager, and
 'sHusk'' Chance was chosen as his suc- cessor because of the ability he had shown as the team's field leader. Pop ularity with the other players may not always be the mark of a good ball

 1900--Bob FitzsimmOns knocked out Ed Dunkhorst in End round at Brook 1yn. Dunkhorst was known as the Human Freight Carr on account of his gigantic stature. weighing about 250 pounds He began his boxing career in the smaller cities of New York State and early in 1900 appear ed in New York and offered himself as sparring partner for Jim Jenries. who was then training for his bout with Corbett at Coney Island. Just as 8 joke, one Of the newspaper boys at "Jeffs'' camp began writing stuff praising Dunkhorst as the future champion. A Brooklyn promoter took the talk seriously and offered Ed a match with the ex-champion. Bob Fitzsinnmons. Dunk demanded s1 900 win, lose or. draw, the promoter ac- cepted, and the match was pulled off. A big bunch of Brooklyn come-ons gathered to see the battle. In the End round Bob put over a punch to the jaw that sent ftthe Human Freight Car' toppling over, and he landed with a thud that made Brook1ynites think there was an earthquake.
