u kiiAAA@C ID EOo1 GadAAlP1S u that a
manager of the Chicago Cubs h
worked his way up to $4,000 year
and acquired some stock in the club
He was success with the Cubs be
cause he was working for his owl
gain and because he had a great bal
team. Chance could boss every maj
on the old Cub team and get results
but his methods didn't go at all witt
the youngsters in the Yankees. III
knew It. and he Is said to have ad
, mitted il more than a month ago
when he first suggested to Mr.. Far
rell that perhaps it would be all fol
the best to get a new manager fol
the Yankees. The whole thing Of
) quitting the job was up to Chance
No one said word to him about
going, and no one will ask him tc
stay He failed to make good. and
he should shoulder the blame alone
but like all $4,000 managers, ne is
making an effort to shift the re-
sponslbi1ity for his own failure on
someone else. Mr.. Farrell, however
knows the whole story. the whole
game. Chance may fool the public
but he will not be able to fool the
man who paid him $4,000 for an
almost tail-end team.
! @
When Chance leaves the Yankees
his place will be taken by Roger
Peckinpaugh, the shortstop on the
team. Peckinpaugh has had some
experience, and he is we'll liked by
the players. He is to be temporary
manager only, but he may work him
self into a permanent position. How
ever. the man who will lead the
Yankees next year will not be made
known until well in the winter
months.
The National Commission has put
one over" on the Feds by effecting a
secret draft of the minor league play
ers. 1t was given out that the draft
ing session would be held In Cincin-
natl tomorrow, but the fact has be-
come known that all the drafting is
over with and the players who will
move up a peg have been seen and
| signed. The National Commission
has also been working on a plan. 1t is
said to take in the most prosperous
| looking clubs in the. Federal League.
II this is done the minors will be
happy, for it is the minors who are
getting all the worst of this OUTLAW"
game. The majors have been af-
fected in small way only-mostly in
the increase of salaries-but the
minors have lost their homes in some
cases, and even their leagues look
dubious. The International Ia almost
a wreck and the American Associa-
ton is little better off. If something
Is not done to leave the International
circuit free and clear the bell will
never ring next year. Every club in
the league, with the exception of
Providence. has lost money, and some
of them have received help. The
Newark club is said to be out $25, 900
on the season and two or three of the
other clubs are even worse off. If 1t
wasn't for tho promise that things
we're going to right themselves the
International League would have
busted up long ago. Everybody Is
holding on, though, expecting to get
In the swim when the Feds are taken
in. Two cities-Montreal and Jersey
City-are out of it. but Jersey City
will be taken care of by the Wards, of
Brooklyn, and the Montreal franchise
Is to go to Pittsburgh.
@
Newark is to stick, of course, and
this city will have team in the new
third big league, 1t will be sort OF
mixed affair, with the OUTLAWS"
taken in. but it will be looked upon
as big league baseball. With pros
| poets bright, now Is the time for
Newarkers to assume control of the
ball club. AS matters stand, the
franchise isn't worth a nickel, but it
will be some day. No matter how
affairs turn out, the Newark fans will
not want any more of Charley Ebbets
and his methods of handling his play
ers. The Johnny Enzmann case was
about the limit, and even the Roches-
ter papers wouldn't believe that the
pitcher had been loaned" to Roches-
ter with the proviso that he was not
to be worked against Newark. The
Enzmann deal was rotten deal and
was done to help Rochester defeat
Providence for the pennant. And
President Barrow stood pat and al
lowed the deal to go through. It's a
pretty fine league in which one owner
openly helps another owner to win the
pennant when the race is as close as
! it is. No one did any such thing last
year, when Newark was fighting
Rochester for the flag. But leave it
TO Ebbets. He'll always find some
way to sink the ship
o
Charley Weinert and Johnny How
ard will have their fourth battle to-
hSh' anu thcy ouSht 10 MAKE IL uecl-
sive. They know one another pretty
well, but the rivalry is very keen and
both are sure to try hard to land a
telling blow Howard, il is said, has
trained faithfully for the bout and is
in good condition. Weinert is moi
much at training, but he Is said to be
i, the best poser in the business. His
