CHANCE SEEKING
SERVICES OF EvERS
Yankee Manager DenOunces
Murphy as Menace to
Organized Ball

Los Angeles, February I1.-Franl,
Chance, former manager of the Chicago
National League club, now manager of
the New York Yankees, took occasion to-
day in declaring that he was in the field
for Johnny Evers, his successor as man
ager of the Cubs, let out yesterday by
President Murphy, to denounce the ac-
tions of the Chicago magnate Murphy,
he declared, was menace to organized
baseball. Relative to Evers, Chance said /:
Il don't care what the Federal league
offers, I'll pay more Evers is a great
ball player. 1 played with him and know,
and I'm sure he will play good ball
for the New York Americans"
Chance made it plain, however, that
his determination to get Evers depended
ON whether or not the national baseball
commission declared the ex-Cub manager
a free agent and thus able to negotiate
for another place.
Murphy" asserted Chance reverting to
his former employer, "has played politics
In the National league and given the Fed
erals chance to get a foothold. / don't
think the Federals have a cnance to sue
ceed for there is no call for third league.
Had it not been for Murphy there would
would have been no Federal league"
Adverting to his own experience as man
ager of the Cubs, Chance continued:
mo man with red blood in his veins
can work for Murphy. He treats ball
players as slaves. Some people thought
[ was crazy when i threw up my place
and sold the stock I owned in the Chi
cago club, but 1 am sure they do not
think so now.
Il was able to continue with the Cubs

contract apart from my contract as a
player. to manage the team, and by the
control whatever over the team. He could
not have come into the club house with
out my consent under the terms of that
manager contract. If it had not been
for that Murphy would have disrupted
the organization and we never would have
had championship team
Let me give an instance. Evers was
injured some three years ago in an ac-
cident. He was unable to play much tho
following season. Murphy wanted to dock
him-take his salary away. | would not
permit it.
Evers,' Chance went on. 'was really
deposed last autumn, when Murphy an
nounced before he went to Europe, that
Johnny no longer would have any power

duced Evers to the position of the field
captain.

ITALIAN AND GREEK
WILL MEET TONIGHT
Both Kervaras and Costello
in Good Shape-Affair
Starts at $3.50

The runner-up bout for the. wrestling
championship is not an impossibility for
Birmingham, according to the manage
ment of the Birmingham Athletic club,
who last night received a wire asking if
they We're willing to stage the match be-
tween DR.. Roller and the winner of the
Costello Kervaras match or Stranger
Lewis and the winner.
Stranger Lewis, who is claiming that
he is better than DIR. Roller, is billed to
meet some classy men in Chicago in the
near future.
The local management knows that
Lewis is a mighty good man and would
give Roller a good battle, but with them
1t is a question of interesting local sport
ing lovers before they care to offer one
of those big purses that they want. If
Roller proves hit in this city the man
agement is willing to put up a good
purse for a contest between Roller and
Lewis or Lewis and Kervaras.
Roller, the physician-wrestler, who
claims the worlds championship over the
head of Gotch, will be seen here in
few matches this season. The Birming-
ham Athletic club is completing arrange
ments Tor series of elimination matches
at the club, and the winner in each bout
will get return matches. Such men as
Costello, Stranger Lewis. Plastina and
DIR. Roller will be booked
The winner of the Costello Kervaras
match tonight will be pitted against Dr.
Roller in a second show. AS Roller is
claiming the championship and Gotch still
in retirement, some of the bouts pulled
off here may have considerable bearing
on the title.
With both the Italian and the Greek in
good shape the match between the two
tonight should prove to be warm and
interesting one, and from present indi-
cations it will be no pink tea affair, as
each of the two giant grapplers are not
adverse to rough work.
The entertainment will begin at $50
O'clock, several good preliminaries pre-
ceding the main bout.

W|LD|NG ANSWERED
BY 'LOUGHL|N
American Tennis Champion
Does Not Agree With
Australian

Gan Francisco. February n.-Maurice
Mclaughlin, tennis champion of America,
does not agree with Anthony Wilding, of
Australia. champion of the world, that
the game could be bettered by amending
the ruled so that only one service stroke
should be permitted for each play. Wild
ing recently made such suggestion and
today it was first called to McLoughlin's
attention.
Wilding believes the change would make
the game faster and all the history OF
its development has been along the lines
of speed. Mclaughlin thinks the OPP
posite.
ITO hold a server to one chance he
said. would reduce by half his speed
and his placement work. The only in
crease in speed gained would be less time
taken for each set. There would be no
increase in the speed of the way, and
take it that what Wilding aims at is a
better quality of play.
mo good player strikes wildly, with
an idea scoring by speed alone. man
like Norman Brooke of Australia, who
had adm.ctedly one of the most success
full services in the world, aims to throw
his opponent on the defensive by skilltul
placement.
None of the really great players makes
a practice of trying to score aces from
service, and none of them wins by trying
to serve with unpayable speer. 1t has
proved that the errors are too costly.
"A powerful young athlete who plays
occasionally in California tournaments
can serve an absolutely unplayabie ball
by putting all his weight and strength
behind the ball. but he can get it into
the court only about once in 10 tries.
when playing well | can place the
ball with sufficient precision to put any
opponent on the defense. Such strokes
require the greatest accuracy. Were the
service eurtailed TO one stroke, such play
would become impossible. A player would
have to come down a peg in pace and
placement and devote himself to safety.
1t would slow up, not speed up, the

MOGULS
PLEASED WITH TRIP

Chicago, February 1.-THE news that
the visit of the Federal league heads to
New York was more than satisfactory,
was received today by Secretary Lloyd
Rickert from President Gilmore over the
long distance telephone
Rickart declared he knew nothing of
the purpose of the trip made by Gilmore,
Charles Weeghman and William NJ
Walker but said he believed the presi-
dents optimism referred to a pos
sible deal with Johnny Evers, deposed
manager of the Cubs.
That the Federal league would make
every effort to get Evers was generally
believed here. and information came from
New York that Weeghman had offered
to outbid by 5000 any salary proffered
him, il Evers' freedom to sign with the
outlaw organization would be assured.
In response to a telephonic message
from Weeghman, Manager Joe Tinker of
the local club left for New York late
today.
