ROCK ISLAND MAY
RETURN TO THREE I
Resignation Of President Al Tearney
May Affect Attitude Of Island
City Bugs.

DAVENPORT, Ia, Sept. 12.-Presi-
dent Tearney's retirement probably
means some changes in the Three-I
league. Rock Island has remained
out of the fold because of opposition
to the ThreeI president. With an
other executive reigning, the Islanders
would doubtless be ready to welcome
Three-I baseball, and some interest
ing things may happen at the annual
meeting of the league in October.
Hayes was not ready to discuss
what would be the outcome OF Tear
ney's action When the Davenport
magnate was asked If he would be a
candidate for the ONCE, he simply an
swered:
''H the directors want me, yes;
otherwise, no."
That Is the same stand that Hayes
took one year ago when there was
to Tearney and the local
boss was in receptive mood. He
says, however, it is up to the direc-
tors to elect the man they want, and
he will make no active campaign for

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-Frank Far
rell. president Of the New York Amer
lean league team this afternoon said
Frank Chance had resigned as mana
ger OF the Yankees. Chance says he
hasn't. AS a consequence another
muss is on in the local club similar to
the upheaval resulting from the pass
ing of Geo. Stallings, now manager OF
ship Of the Yankees. The trouble
which has been brewing for some
time, came to climax this afternoon
at the polo grounds when Chance and
Farrell became involved in heated
argument as to whether the Peerless
Leader was now out OF the leader
ship berth as well as months sal
airy. big Bill" Deverey, formerly po-
lice chief and part owner OF the club,
edged in few words ana verbal
battle was waged up to the point Of
Chance threatening to punch Deverey
in the jaw.
Chance is said to have cold Farrell
to improve the Yanks this year or
next. Chance was discourage and
said $4,000 man could handle the
team just as well as $4,000 man
with the material on hand and that
in prospectus he then offered to re-
sign. This afternoon Chance received
a letter from Farrell accepting his
resignation and notifying him that his
salary would stop on the fifteenth of
this month";" Chance insisted he had
not resigned, but had merely offered
to do so and that II Farrell attempted
to deprive him OF his salary for the
remaining month Of the season he
would, refuse to resign before the end
Of next season. Chance declares that
success with the Yankees is impos-
sible because OF outside interference.
He holds Irwin, the teams scout, re-
sopnsible for part Of his troubles and
also blames the cabinet or grand
stand managers" whose interference
is said to have been responsible for
the resignation OF stallings.
