Beating Back"

Although still quite a distance away,
Chance and Jennings are slowly beat
ing back"
Nineteen hundred and fourteen will,
in actually, be Chances first test
year: 1913 doesn't count. for it took
him a year to get rid Of what he had
and start all over. His real campaign
ing will date from this April, when
he crowds his young legion up against
the whaling Mackmen and then shifts
from this bunch to Walter Johnson.
The odds are certainly against eth
er Chance or Jennings finishing in the
first four this year. although both
clubs are sure to be big jump ahead
Of 1913 form.
AS far as certainties go in this game
YOU can figure it certainty that
Philadelphia and Washington will be
up there. So to finish in the upper set
they will have to beat out both the
Red Sox and the White Sox. or Cleve-
land and one of the two Soxes. And
both the Soxes look 70 be better fixed
than they were last spring.
The Yanks last season finished eight
games back Of the Tigers and the
games back Of the White Sox. The
Yanks finished twenty-three games
back Of the first division-a notable
gap to be overcome in one season. But
while the gap is wide you can gamble
that both Chance and Jennings will
display better and more interesting
wares than either could show a year

Chance To Jennings.
In the days Of old when Cubs were
bold
And Tigers held their sway,
When yesr by year we copped the
smear
OF each world series play;
When you and I split up the pie
That came in golden streams;
When we were there with miles to
spare
How long ago it seems.
In days Of light when Brown was
right
And Pfeister had the smoke;
Or when Wild Bill played the pill
And curbed the patsman's poke;
When Tinker wrought and Evers
fought,
And Mullin ruled the glen;
O, good old days of pennant ways
When will you come again?

talk on the importance Of working by

further restricted the liberties Of the
athletes during their leisure moments.
Hereafter any Yankee caught playing
poker or any other game of chance. ex-
