While Chance Resigned, He
Really Was Forced Out
by Owners Refusal to
Make Him Supreme.
Long Term of Years Is
Necessary to Build Up
Club Which Can Com
pete for Highest Honors.

The story of Frank Chances rosigna-
tion from the New York American League
club is one as ancient as the national
game itself 1t has ever been the policy
OF the majority Of club owners to adopt
shifting method OF developing a team,
rather than one of watchful waiting,
which has been so highly successful. iu
the case OF the Athletics of this citr
and the Giants OF New York.
Frank Chance did not resign because
he had not developed a club with could
compete with the better organizations of
Ban Johnsons circuit, but because he
was not allowed to develop It. This
friction between the owners and the man
ayers is the thorn in the side OF base
ball, and at times has actually been q
menace to it's very existence,
To build UP a winning bail club Connie
Mack says, requires at least FIVE years
Chance has been In New York little
less than two seasons. 1t Is true that
& e does not seem to have made any moro
progress this year than he had at the
close of the season Of 1918. Yet this

which to build. In this case the team
might go along more or less !rdinerently
for couple of years J'ou suddenly
jump into the running without warning,
just as the st. Louis Browns did at the
beginning OF this season. The trans
Mssissippians were enabled to make
fight because that team, for the most
part, had been playing together long be-
fore Branch Rickey was even considered
as a managerial possibility.
Now that Chance has decided that he
cannot move along in harmony with the
owners of the Yankees, tho fans ot New
>-ork will have tho dIssatsfl, ticn Of
seeing one OF the games greatest gem

GREAT GOLF WEEK
USHERED IN WITH
WHITEMARSH TEST
Climax of the Fall Sea-
son to Be Witnessed Now,
and Stick Wielders Are in
Their Glory.

Golfng events have been coming thick
and fast recently, but this week will wit
ness the climax of the fall season To-
morrow there will be an event Of special
interest at the Whltemarsh Valley
Country Club which will be in the nature
of curtain raiser to the annual open
tournament OF the Golf Association Of
Philadelphia.
With its usual generosity the White
800 for an amateur-proressional tourna-
ment 1t will be best ball match with
an amateur and a professional on each
side. Ali amateurs and professionals of
clubs belonging to the United States Golf
Association are eligible to compete. This
event is quite novel one and II should
prove decidedly interesting and. what is
more, IL will serve as excellent practice
for those competing in the championship
the next day.
In former years the open championship
Of Philadelphia was only at thrty-six
holes, but this year the Golf Association
very wisely decided to extend 1t to sew
enty-two. Thirty-slX holes, therefore, will
he played on Wednesday and the remain
ing thirty-slx on Thursday. Very liberal
prizes have been put up by the associa-
ton The winner will receive sl6O. second,
500: third, s70 fourth. $40; fifth, $40, and
sixth, s10-si0O in prize money In ALL One
thing is certain, and that is that the
tournament will be more literally patron
lied than in past years. Many of the pro-
fessionals who competed at Spring Lake
will be here, including Walter Hagen, the
open champion; James NJ. Barnes, the
Western champion; Isaac Mackie, the
winner of the Shawnee tournament; Joe
Mitchell. runner-up at Shawnee Elmer
Loving. of Spring Lake; Fred Mcleod,
of Washington; Tom Mcnamara, OF Bos-
ton: Herbert Strong, of Inwood; Louis
TELLER, of Canoe Brook, and, of course, all
the local professionals. The Whitemarsh
course Is in fine condition at the present

HERMANN PLEASED
WITH CHARLEY HERZ0G
will Give Manager Chance to Lead
Reds in 1915.

Reds in 1915.
Garry Hermann seems at last to have
begun to realize that when a manager
makes good that is the time TO give him
more powers and more announcement,
rather than his release, as in the case of
Hank ODay. No one could have made
more out OF the Cincinnati Reds than
O'Day during the comparatively short
time he was in Redland, yet he was sum-
marily dismissed.
This season Charley Herzog the most
efficient infielder on the New York Giants
club in 1913, has done wonders with the
Reds. He has almost made n real ball
club out of practically nothing. And his
reward will he another chance in 1915.
Speaking of his manager Hermann
recently said:
ITS n sure thing Herzog will be our
manager next season.
"Wc are satisfied with the gcSos he
has shown as a leader although we aSe
not satisfied with the position in which
the team Is now located.
"Hcrzog in my opinion Is real man
ager. lie will he in charge again next
season and things will happen during the
winter that will give him good material
to work with. We are satisfied that II
he has the players he will build a win.

CARDINALS TAKE ON
NEW LEASE OF LIFE
Are Threatening Boston Braves
and New York Giants, Leaders,
Now After Being Passed Up as
Contenders.

NEW YORK. Sept. 14.-Passed up as
psuuant contender weeks ago the st.
Louis Cardinals have taken on new life
and are again threatening the Boston
Braves and New York Giants, National
League leaders.
Following their double victory over the
Reds Yesterday the Cardinals are in third
place, only four and one-ha!f games be-
hind StalinGs' leaders.
Coming strong behind the Cardinals
are Hank O'Days cubs. But one game
separates them from Higgins cohorts,
a they, too, won Yesterday, beating the
Pirates.
The Cubs and the Cards, however, have
tough battle ahead in the pennant
chase. Practically all of the remaindcr
of their games are TO be played on the
road. while the Braves and the Giants
will be at home

time. and although II is by no means, easy
some fine scores should be made.
One Of the most popular tournaments
OF the local season will be played on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday at the
Philadelphia Cricket Club, st. Martins
The invitation tournament of the Phila-
delphja Cricket Club for the st. Martin
cup invariably draws a record entry and
there is no reason to suppose that TINS
years event will be an exception to the
rule.
In addition to the st. Martins cup. the
Presidents. Governors and Players cups
will be competed for and In each event
there will be q prize for the runner-up.
An event OF great Importance will be
staged at the Merton Cricket Grub
Haverford tomorrow, Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday and Saturday when
the annual competitions for the Inter
collegiate tennis championship will be
played. Last year Princeton sprang a
big surprise by winning the Isaac H.
Clothier cup outright, but this year Har-
ward should experience no difficulty In
winning the new trophy for the first
time Represented by r. Norris VIII
llams, I'd, the national singles champion,
II Is difficult to imagine either Yale,
Princeton, the University Of Pennsyl-
vania or any other university or college
standing ghost of O chance against
Harvard. Williams is Philadelphian
and this fact alone Is sure to attract
a big attendance at the Merton Cricket
Club each day. Play will take place
in both morning and afternoon.

sounds. Northeast, with its usual aE-
Eressivenoss. has already put in three
days of Eridiron practice. while the
other schools have called out the Candi-
dates and will begin actual work this
week. Though predictions at this date
would be n hazard. Northeast High, juds-
Ing from the dash shown by the men In
the carly practices, should put in strong
