Chances TRADE without a reply, but
not so with "old Bill' Devery. The
BEST Chief" gave Chance a "call"
and blows were narrowly averted.
Since then Chance has cooled off and
he has admitted that he lost his head.
He doesn't want to go now, and he
is said to have told Mr.. Farrell thai
the Yankees were a pretty good ball
team and only couple of men were
required to make them a contender.
C
In looking over the field for some
one to hitch the blame for his own
failure upon, Chance picked out Scout
Irwin. He has declared that Arthur
hasn't given him the players to fill up
the gaps made by his wholesale dis
charge of pretty good men. For In
stance, he has allowed such men as
Harry Waller, Jack Lelivelt, Jack
Knight. Birdie Cree, Bert Daniels,
Channel, Gardner, Midkiff, Young,
Gilhooley and others, most of them
tried and developed men, to go, and
then, no doubt, looked for Scout Irwin
to go out in the bushes and replace
these men. No scout in the world
could perform such a feat, and, be-
sides, all the scouting for the Yankees
isn't UP to Irwin. George Davis is on
Mr.. Farrelrs payroll as scout, and
Billy Lush and Others have been tour
ing the minor leagues in the interest
of the New York club. Scouts are not
supposed to make ball clubs win the
pennant. Men like Chance are.
Scouts get small credit for discovering
great players. 1t is the manager who
develops them who comes in for all
the praises. Chance failed because
he is past good service. He was a
great fellow with a great ball club
ike the Chicago Cubs but he was a
poor manager to take the raw mate
rial and out of 1t produce the goods.
ANY old driver can win behind the
best horse. is an old saying, but it
takes a mighty good driver to beat the
best horse in the race.

The Yankees have four sterling
pitchers in Caldwell, Fisher, Heating
and WARRIOR. Chance had nothing to
do with the development of single
one of these men, and he drove the
best one, Caldwell, away from the
club. Chances claim was that he was
the manager of the club and not
teacher. When a young player was
sent to him, Chance told him to go
out on the diamond and make good.
If he wasn't true-blue from the first
tap. he was condemned and chased
back to the bushes. Chance never
told the youngsters what to do. They
were supposed to be ball players when
they came to him, was always his
contention,

who will be the new manager of
the Yankees is now an interesting
question. Several names have been
mentioned. among them John CAMEL,
OF Rochester. He would be good
man for Mr.. Farrell. For one thing,
he wouldn't spend his money like
RateE. and be would give him a good.

Frank Chance has been wise to him.
self as a failure for some time, and
he was willing to quit tomorrow, but
he expected Mr., Farrell would make
him a present of a months salary.
As this would amount to about $4,000,
Mr.. Farrell couldn't see it. He ac-
copied Chances resignation, but in
a letter told him he didn't think it
was fair to pay him a months salary
he wouldn't earn. This upset Chances
peace of mind and he sent for the
newspaper men. When managers
have a quarrel they always rush to
the press boys. Change told the re-
porters how he had been abused and
how cheap a man Mr.. Farrell was.
Then he attacked Mr.. Farrell person.

Then he became sorry, said he was

mistake, and now wants to stay with

Chance must go, but it may be that
there win be a compromise on finan-
ciaI affairs. Mr. Farrell has his
resignation to take effect on Septem-
Der Is. That is all that is necessary
Chances contract runs another year,

Farrell knows what Is best for his
own good. The parting will likely

Chances resignation binding. He has
made the bluff and he will have to
stick. Mr.. Farrell is saying nothing
today, but Chances friends are trying
to bring about more friendly feel
ing between the men. That is all
very we'll. but the New York Yankees
need a new manager just the same.

How Can 1t Be Done?
This is the question that
many people will ponder over.
1t is easy to solve when it is
recalled that the people in general
and the business men of Yazoo City

return the publishers offer to the peo-
pie first-class newspaper and are
net afraid to offer such generous
prizes with this kind of cooperation.
Never before have the people .evoc

handsome prizes. The grand prize, Of

there are others well worth working
for and will be appreciated by those
winning them.
