Frank Chance, who mitted the New
York. Yankees In gleeful farewell a
few, days back, grabbed mighty pen
in a brown paw the other day and
unhitched an effulgent expression or
two anent the more or less literary
ubject-haseball. When 1t comes to
cutting UP capers on a sheet of fools
cap, Chance waltzes in where, an
Elinor Glynn would shudder at the
thought of taking even a atthree-minute
chance
Chance also thrust his pen into the
magnuts of the New York Americans.
AS he declared openly in the presence
of a dozen or more scribes, he blarnes

they care more for nickel, he
says, than T. r. cares for the spresi-
dency. Not a flashing minor Lacquer

gaes: When 1t comes to the discovery
stuff, Wood is without a Peer-Doc
Cook not excepted.
Wood has uneartlaed 240 pounds of
icelandic flesh and bones, and is en-.
deavoring to mold them into GOOD
football material.
But. according to The Courier News
OF Fargo, the strange part Of the tale
is That this lcelandic raw material has
been hanging around the A. G. FOR
the past two years. and no one know
Ing a thing about 1t until Wood kick-
rya LII
for more ivory. -
How any one weighing 240 pounds
and dragging around a nonicker like
Big Ben Bjornson'' can hang around
an institution like the N. d. A. g. and
not be found by a football coach 1s
stretching the rubber Of credulity a
little too far. -.
It must be that Big Benz was suf-
fering from this blushtng disease in
ITS ineipiency or was the pet guard
OF the door leading to the girls DOR
