Manager Chance of New York Insinu= 9g ates There Is Opposition To
 His Authority

 The secret of the poor showing of the New York Americans in recent years is indicated in the remarks made by Manager Chance regarding the deal for Kraft. Chance declares the ibusi- ness department of the club announc- ed, without consulting him, that Kraft had been bought and would play first the next day, which was yesterday. Chance stated that he had no inten- tion of replacing Mullen with Kraft and was resolved to run his club with out interference. 1t Is suspected that there is considerable friction between Chance and Scout Arthur Irwin Chance has a winning combination now and he doesn't intend to break it up. The criticisms in the press arouS- ed the indignation of the fans to such an extent that the New York club did not dare replace. Mullen, who is all ready a big favorite.
 Although the Chicago critics couldn't see anything wQhderfu1 about the ad- vance form of Brookes and Wi1ding, the Australians had no trouble in beating the Canadians yesterday in the first Davis cup matches.

Notorious First Baseman Was Turned Down Because Rooters Didn't
 Want Mullin Displaced

terday that he had no idea of taking Mullen off first base, as he is playing fine game. Chance distinctly said that he was running the playing de- pertinent of the team.
 Mullen received a great reception yesterday at the Polo Grounds when he first came to bat. The announcements that he was to give way to Krafe did not please the fans who took occaaion yesterdS to voice their approval ef retaining Mullen at first. The fans considered the. proposed signing of Kraft as abit of cheap advertising, and yesterdays great cI~tion to Mullen was a severe rebuke to those who are trying to run the club for Manager Chance.

 Manager Beultes of the Bridgeport. club has made a, complaint 3tos Presi-' dent O'Rourkes about Uin ptre Keen ans negIigenceT in. fPittsfieId WedneS- day when the official failed to do any thing about Raft1S' interference on Senno. In the 11th inning of the first game Senno was on second when a single was made. Senno dashed for the plate but as he rounded third the Bridgeport players claim Raftis inter- fered with the runner. The result was that Senno was thrown out of his stride and nailed at the plate. That run would have put Bridgeport ahead.
 In his report to the Eastern as sociation president Umpire Keenan declares he was watching the ball go-. ing toward the outfield and did not see any interference at third. Presi- dent O'Rourke considers this a lame explanation. He contends that in a close game the runner trying for the plate was important and Keenan should have watched him all the way Then if there was interference the umpire could have seen it.
 There is more difference of opinion about Manager Boultes' election from the game. The arbiter says he put BouItes out just as the second game started. Bou1tes claims that between the games and just before the second contest started he was seated on the Bridgeport bench He says he was reprimand1ng a, Bridgeport player for making a dumb play and Umpire Keenan evidently thought some of the language was intended for him. There upon he waved the local pilot off the lot. q wasn't talking to you" said Boultea- ''Oh, thought you were,'' replied the official. President O'Rourke announced that Bou1tes would receive the usual $5 fine for being put out of the game.

 Bennie Silzer had an extensive af- ternoon last week at Newield park. Benjamin was back on the old heath wherein he used to perform for the Bridgep orts, and he was right at home. Five hits in five times at bat was considerable reunion. One of the SWatS was a dOuD1e.
