Bill" yesterday purchased his re-
lease from Secretary William B. Brad
ley for a sideration which he re.

reasons assigned by the fielder for
hts action were that he was dissatis-
fed with his present berth and that
he believed himself to be worth more
than the local rnagnate had offered
him.
Laval. who came here from North
Carolina. was one of the most timely
barters In the Virginia league last
year Many of his opportune bingles
brought victory to the locals.
The former Colt has no definite des-
,ination in view. but declared yes

not expecting to sign with any of the

that he was anticipating this action
on the part OF Laval. and says he Is

PEERLESS LEADER

HOUSTON, TEXAS, March g.
Frank Chance has hardened to the
call Of spring. He will try to come
back as big league playing man.
ager. To-day for tho first time since
the beginning Of the spring training
here he submitted himself to the
most vigorous physical tests He is
sure tonight that he will be able Ia
stand up under one more big league
campaign. So sure. in fact. that he
wired to New York for specially
constructed headgear.
Chance. 1t will be remembered. was
never able to protect himself against
pitchers who lacked control. He has
been "beaned" more than any other
player seen in fast company In the
squad working out here there are
several pitchers. notably Dode Criss.
who have always been conspicuous
for their lack of control in the carry
springtime. Against these fellows
Chance does not intend to gamble.
Wherefore the specially constructed
conk harness.
Chance today devoted more than
half an hour to first base play. He
held down that assignment through
out the entire infield practice of the
regulars. In batting practice he ran
out every hit, and invariably circled
the bases at a fast jog.
The first accident of the training
campaign developed a few moments
| before tho team finished the days
work. Fritz Maisel. who has capt.
waited local fandom by his phenome-
nal third sacking, suffered a bad split
on the right index finger in hauling
down one Of Reynolds spirited
throws. 1t Is doubtful il Maisel win
be able to appear in Saturdays game
